My eyes flutter open and as soon as I wake up I feel this heat run through my entire body when I see that Steel is beside me. He is in the same position as he was when I had fallen asleep, and he is still staring at the ceiling. I wonder how he can be in that position all night. I do notice that I am a lot closer to him than I was before and the very thought about that makes the blood rush to my cheeks like never before. Steel has not seen that I have woken up and for a moment I just stare at him.

Admiring him perhaps, I don't know why I'm staring at him but I find myself unable to want to look away. He does that to me. And, yet I've not known him for that long but at the same time I would trust him with my life and I have no clue why I just do. "Good morning" I slowly whisper. I see him smile as he turns his head to look at me. "Good morning, Lila" He speaks and the way that he says my name and how it rolls of his tongue, it sounds so perfect.

"Did you sleep well?" He asks me and I give him a small smile but as soon as I see how tired his eyes look this guilt takes over me and I realize that he had stayed up all night for me. I feel horrible that he would do this for me, that I have been such a coward to even admit what has been happening to me. "Yes" I answer. I was about to say something more but I bite down on my lower lip to stop myself. I see him frown.

Frowning is not a good look on him. "Is there something wrong?" He asks me, and then he takes my hand which is under the covers and brings it forth and his lips graze against the back of my hand. Once again the blush rises to my cheeks as the butterflies flutter like never before. I shake my head as I can't even speak anything when he has me in this spell that I can't seem to break out of but I find that I don't want to break out of the enchantment that he has over me, I actually like it.

After a moment or two of us just holding each other's hand and looking at one another in the eyes and just enjoying the moment I check the clock to see that it's almost seven. "I need to get ready for work" I tell him softly and I watch as his eyes show this amusement but also a bit of sadness, perhaps because this moment can't last forever even if I want it to last for a long time as like him I do enjoy it and I don't want to go to work but I have to.

I stand up and it is only when that I see what is right in front of me. My bedroom has been cleaned. I gape as he sits up and looks at me with a smirk. "Did you do this?" I ask him in surprise. My bedroom is the best it has been in some time and I find it strange to see it like this but I also do like it. He nods his head and I'm not slow at jumping to him and welcoming him for a hug. A hug that he deserves. "Thank you" I tell him and I really do mean it.

I break the hug after a couple of seconds have passed and before I could even stop myself I kiss his cheek before I skip out of the room and into the bathroom where I lock the door and it is only then that I realize what I had done and I find myself blushing madly with read in my cheeks. As I turn on the shower I find it hard to think how someone like me met someone like Steel, a person that is so kind and generous in ways that no one else is.

Stripping myself of my pajamas and underwear I enter under the hot spray of water and then start my shower. Yet all of my thoughts are of him, and they are always of Steel and the future that we could have together. It sounds insane for me to think of such things when it is only recently that we met but each time that I think of our future I feel like it could actually be real and it is so right almost. Perhaps it is just the typical school crush which I'm getting but somehow I don't think it's that, this is deeper.

My lips had been so close to his and if I had kissed even a little to the right I would've kissed him and the thoughts of kissing him don't seem to want to wash away with the water and I don't think they will go away and neither do I want them to. I step out of the shower after I've done everything and then I wrap my body in a towel before I brush my teeth and brush through the wet tangles of my hair and put it in a simple braid as I want it to have some curls but not too much though.

Dressing into the spare clothes that I have in the bathroom, because I do have a roommate and I don't want to end up having to go naked or wrapped in a towel back to the room to get clothes and now I have a guest. Besides even if my roommate is not all the time here he is still a man, even when he's gay. It just makes me feel uncomfortable. Once I'm dressed I head out of the bathroom and as soon as I walk out I smell food and I smile to myself.
