(N.)

The act of loving in return.

Loving someone who fully loves you back.

Jess lead the way inside his house. Isaac was following him with a small smile. They were both smiling. It had been a good night. They slipped their shoes off by the door and Jess held Isaac's hand to guide him upstairs.

They stayed a little longer at the party after leaving the bathroom. Ki and Andrew talked to Isaac about him being a simp but everyone else gave him cautious looks.

Tally was gone, making out with Conor Reid in the car. Mason and Kristi were with Marco and Jess at the counter. Mason stole the keys from Tally when they first got there so that train wasn't about to leave the station.

Marco was congratulating Jess on picking a good one. They were talking about Isaac mostly. Mason and Kristi were smiling at him fondly the whole time he talked like they knew the emotions he felt towards the boy.

Maybe they did. Maybe it was showing on his face.

Jess was in love with Isaac. There wasn't a doubt in his mind.

Every time he looked at him he was reminded of how perfect he was. He loved his hazel eyes and his soft hair. He loved his smile and the way his hand fit perfectly into Jess's. He loved him.

Jess opened up the door to his room and tugged Isaac in. He turned the light on behind him. The fan in the corner was on, blowing cool air onto the floor of Jess's room and his ceiling fan was on as well.

"Jesus, it's cold in here." Isaac said behind him. Jess cracked a smile.

"I told you, I love keeping my room freezing so I can bundle up under tons of blankets."

Isaac smiled too and bent down to kiss him. When they pulled away the brunette was grinning wide. "I love you."

Jess smiled and wrapped his arms around Isaac's neck. "I know, you told me."

"I know but I just can't stop saying it. I love you so much." He kissed him again. "I don't love how cold it is in here though. You wanna go to sleep?"

"Yeah." Jess nodded and turned off the light. He threw a pair of sweat pants that were probably Isaac's at his boyfriend to change into.

He waited until he had the sweats on and then tugged Isaac over to the bed and the boy sat down. Jess crawled onto his lap. Isaac wrapped his arms around Jess and laid down with him. He felt Isaac layering up two blankets on top of them before he relaxed. Jess hummed in content.

"This warm enough? I can't reach your other blankets." Isaac spoke softly.

"This works. You radiate body heat so that's enough to keep me warm."

Isaac hummed underneath him. His arms ran up and down Jess's back soothingly. Jess felt his eyelids grow heavy and he let himself slip off into sleep using his boyfriend as a mattress. He slept peacefully through the night.

○●○●○

His shoulder was being shook forcefully. Slowly, he blinked open his eyes. He was still laying in bed but not on top of Isaac anymore. He could feel his boyfriend's head tucked into his side but other than that and the arm lazily sitting on him, the two weren't touching. Their blankets were halfway off them.

Jess rolled his head to the side and saw Daisy standing there blinking up at him. She smiled. "Good morning Jessie."

He smiled sleepily. "Hey, Daisy. Good morning."

He sat up slowly. Isaac's arm slipped down his chest and rested on his lap. Jess looked over at his boyfriend. He was still peacefully sleeping.

"When did you get here?" He looked back at Daisy.

"A few minutes ago. Momma sent me up here to wake you up." Her eyes then moved over to Isaac. "Who's that?"

"Isaac. He's my boyfriend." Jess smiled softly at her.

Daisy gasped and her eyes widened. "You have a boyfriend?!"

"I do." Jess nodded.

"Is he nice to you?" Daisy tilted her head to the side. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.

"He's very nice to me." Jess confirmed.

"Do you love him?"

Jess hummed. "A whole lot."

Her eyes went wide again. There was a flash of hurt in her expression. "More than me?"

Jess chuckled. "No, Daisy. Not more than you."

Her smile returned. "Oh okay. Well, you should wake him up so he can join us for breakfast. Do you think he'll like your waffles? He should, they're really good. We should make him waffles!"

Jess chuckled. "Okay. Will you run down and tell Ma I'm making us waffles? I'll be down in a minute."

"Okay!" She cheered and turned around to race out of Jess's room.

Jess turned over and poked Isaac's face. He smiled and opened his eyes tiredly. "You love me a whole lot?"

Jess smiled as his ears turned red. "Yes I do."

"And you're going to make us waffles?"

"I am." Jess nodded. "You have to get up first though."

Isaac sighed but sat up. He smiled with half lidded eyes and leaned over to kiss Jess. The dark headed boy smiled into the kiss. Before it could go too far though he pulled back.

"Brush your teeth and then we can do that."

Isaac groaned. He smiled and leaned down to kiss Jess's jaw. "You're killing me Baby."

Jess hummed while getting out of bed. He walked over to his closet and pulled out a very familiar gray hoodie. He took off his shirt and put it on before turning around.

"C'mon, Daisy doesn't like it when she has to wait too long for her waffles."

Isaac chuckled and got out of bed. He followed Jess to the upstairs bathroom where the dark haired boy pulled out a spare toothbrush. He handed it to Isaac and then the two of them brushed their teeth side by side.

It was weirdly domestic but Jess loved it. When they were finished brushing their teeth he slipped his hand into Isaac's and brought him downstairs.

In the kitchen Daisy was ranting about what was probably her favorite TV show at the moment to her mother. Kleandra looked up as the two entered and smiled.

"Good morning sweetie. Good morning Isaac, it's good to see you again."

Isaac nodded, shifting slightly on his feet. "Good to see you too."

Jess smiled. "I promised someone I'd make waffles."

"Yipee!" Daisy raised her arms happily. "We get to make waffles!"

"Yeah!" Jess cheered as well with a happy smile. He could feel Isaac's eyes on him and when he turned to meet them they were watching him lovingly. "You can sit at the table while we wait."

Isaac smiled. "Okay, Baby."

He walked over to the table and took a seat. Jess ignored the way Kleandra was wiggling her eyebrows at him and the way he knew his ears were turning red. Instead he looked to Daisy.

"You ready to help?"

"Yep, yep!" She hopped up and down. "I'll get the ingredients!"

Jess smiled and went over to the fridge to grab the eggs and the milk. Everything else she could get. They moved around each other while Kleandra went over to the table to sit. He let Daisy help mix the batter and she watched over his shoulder in awe while he did the rest.

Once he had a plate with a mountain of waffles on it he called it good enough. He cleaned up the counter while Daisy brought the plate over to the table. She sat it down in the center and ran off to get her own plate and a fork. Jess grabbed all the unhealthy toppings she liked and walked over to the table the same time as her. He helped her fix up her waffles before finally starting to get his own.

Isaac smiled at him the whole time. They ate waffles and listened to Daisy talk on and on about her current favorite TV show. Isaac asked her questions to keep her talking and the whole thing was adorable to Jess.

"Oh! Will you watch my movie with me? Daddy bought it for me last week when we went to the store! It's really good!" She smiled excitedly. Jess smiled and nodded back. At his answer she turned her eyes onto Isaac. "What about you? You'll watch with us won't you? It's a really good movie!"

Isaac chuckled. "Sure. I'll watch your movie with you."

"Okay." She smiled happily and shoved a forkfull of waffle in her mouth. When everyone was done eating Kleandra collected the dishes and started washing them off.

Jess and Isaac followed Daisy into the living room. She dug around in her pink, princess backpack before pulling out a Barbie movie. She ran over to the TV and started to turn on thr DVD player.

Isaac sat on the couch and opened his arms. Jess smiled warmly and sat down in between Isaac's legs and melted back into his chest. Isaac's arms wrapped around Jess's waist and he kissed his jaw.

Daisy turned around once the TV and DVD player were on. She saw their position and scrunched up her nose. "You guys have to promise not to smooch during the movie!"

Isaac groaned. "Do I have to?" His warm breath hit the back of Jess's ear.

"Yes!" Daisy glared at him. "You have to focus on the movie."

Isaac laughed. "Okay fine. I won't smooch on your brother while the movie is playing."

She smiled again. "Goodie!"

She skipped over to the couch and crawled onto the open space where Jess and Isaac's legs weren't. She laid back into the cushion and focused her eyes on the TV.

Jess looked towards the screen too as the movie started. Isaac rested his head on Jess's shoulder and his breath fanned over the side of the boy's face. Jess felt his ears turning pink.

"Do I have to keep that promise?" He whispered into Jess's ear and moved his mouth down so he was breathing on Jess's neck. Shivers shot down Jess's spine.

He reached a hand up and redirected Isaac's face so he was looking at the TV. He whispered back, "Yes, you do."

Isaac grinned. "Fine."

Daisy got distracted halfway through the movie. She started digging through her bag for her dolls because she wanted to show Isaac that she had one from the movie. While she may have been distracted Jess and his boyfriend were still shamelessly watching the child's movie.

"Ah, here she is! See?" Daisy looked over, holding a doll in her hand. Isaac tore his eyes off the screen to look over at her. "Isn't she pretty?"

"Yeah, she's really pretty." Isaac said with a kind smile. Daisy's eyes narrowed at him.

"Bad boy! You should only think Jess is pretty!"

Her words made Isaac laugh and Jess chuckle. The boy turned over to Isaac and raised his eyebrows. "Yeah, Isaac, you should only think I'm pretty. What's with this bull crap happening?"

Isaac smirked. "Don't worry Daisy. I think your brother is the prettiest in the entire world."

Jess turned red. He looked down and Isaac leaned over to kiss his cheek. Daisy smiled in approval. "Good. Now no more smooching during the movie!"

Isaac let out a sigh. "Fine, even though it pains me."

Jess chuckled and they all turned their focus back to the movie. On occasion he could see Daisy silently playing with her doll at the end of the couch. She didn't have the attention span to actually fully focus on the movie. That was okay though because him and Isaac were fully focused on it enough for her.

Once it ended she smiled and hopped up. She skipped over to retrieve her disk. "See wasn't it good?"

"It was really good, Daisy." Isaac smiled at her.

Jess smiled at him. He was happy Isaac was trying with her. Happy she seemed to like Isaac. Overall he was just happy.

"Who wants to go to the park?" Kleandra came skipping down the stairs. She had went up to her room and probably forgot they were there only to just now remember. That was kind of her thing.

"Me! Me! Me!" Daisy jumped up and down. Then she stopped and gasped. "Wait can we go skating?! Daddy won't take me to the roller skating rink."

"Of course!" Kleandra cheered. "Jess go get dressed."

"Yeah, go make yourself look nice!" Daisy grinned. "Make sure your boyfriend is nice looking too."

Jess hummed. "You don't think he's already nice looking?"

Daisy blinked at him, the joke going over her head. "He's wearing sweat pants Jess."

Jess laughed loudly. "Okay, fair enough."

Isaac followed Jess up the stairs and back into his room. Isaac was smiling and the second Jess's door was shut Isaac was kissing him. His back pressed against the door and Isaac's hands were on his waist.

"My teeth have been brushed and your little sister isn't glaring at me." Isaac mumbled against Jess's lips in between kisses.

Jess laughed, breaking the kiss for a moment. Isaac leaned back in as soon as he was done. Jess smiled slightly into the kiss, not enough to break it.

"We have to get ready to go." Jess mumbled.

"I know." Isaac kept kissing him though. Jess didn't stop him.

His hand slipped under Jess's shirt and slid up over his skin. Jess shivered and ran his hands through Isaac's hair. He pulled lightly and Isaac groaned.

He pulled away so they could catch their breath. At least that's what Jess thought he pulled away for at first but then his hands were tugging off Jess's shirt. Jess helped him get it off.

His lips traced down Jess's neck and attacked his collar bone. His hands slid up and down Jess's sides and the boy loved the feeling. He let his own hands feel travel down Isaac's neck and hold him there. Eventually he brought the boy's head back up so they could kiss again.

"We really got to get ready now." Jess said after pulling away this time. Isaac was pressed against him and they were both half hard.

Isaac groaned. "Fine." He leaned back in for one more soft kiss. "I love you."

Jess smiled. "I love you too."

They finally split apart. Isaac went and flopped down on Jess's bed face first. He mumbled something about calming himself down and Jess chuckled.

He looked through his closet and pulled out a pair of jeans that were slightly baggy on him and then a shirt that he stole from Isaac a while ago. He threw both at thr brunette on the bed who grunted but otherwise didn't move.

Jess then grabbed a pair of jeans for himself and a light purple shirt. He changed his clothes quickly before leaning down to fish out a pair of socks from his dresser drawers. He pulled them on before walked over to sit down on the bed next to Isaac.

He ran his hand up Isaac's back like the boy does to him. He shivered under Jess's touch.

"You gotta get dressed. Daisy will come up here yelling at us to hurry up soon."

Isaac sighed and rolled over. "Okay."

Isaac stood up and started changing. Jess had no shame when his eyes started roaming his boyfriend's body as Isaac changed. Isasc had no shame either considering he was smirking the whole time.

Once they were both changed Jess started to leave. Isaac grabbed his arm and spun him around to kiss him again. Jess smiled and kissed him back one last time before they left his room.

Isaac followed him down the stairs. Daisy was on the couch and Kleandra was with her. Jess's mother had on a pink tank top and white shorts with her makeup all done. She smiled in greeting at the two boys as they entered the room.

"Yay! We can go!" Daisy cheered.

The three all followed Kleandra outside and to her car. Jess hopped in the passenger seat and smiled when he saw Isaac helping Daisy buckle in in the back. She didn't need help but it was still cute.

Kleandra played pop music the whole drive and Daisy bopped her head along to the songs. She kicked her feet back and forth and talked to Isaac. The brunette talked back and held conversation with her.

Jess smiled brightly in his seat. I'm really in love with this boy.

They pulled up to the skating rink and Daisy giggled as she took off her seatbelt. Jess stepped out of the car and waited for Isaac to get out too. Kleandra followed after Daisy who was rushing to the entrance.

Jess walked alongside Isaac behind them. "Do you go skating here?"

"Not since I was in like sixth grade. I wasn't very good then."

Jess grinned. "So does that mean I'll get to see you fall on your butt a lot?"

"You sound too excited about that." Isaac chuckled. "But yes, that's probably what it means."

Jess chuckled. "I'll hold your hand."

Isaac smiled back at him. "You better."

They walked up to the entrance where Kleandra was paying for them. The four went inside together and up to the counter to get their skates.

Daisy ran off on her own and Kleandra stayed a few feet behind her at all times. Tons of little kids were here, spanning from toddlers to kids in middle school. There were a few high schoolers but it didn't look like many.

Jess tied up his laces and latched the straps on his skates. He watched Isaac do the same to his own and then stood up. He offered his hand to his boyfriend and Isaac took it.

Isaac really sucks at skating.

Jess held his hand the whole time but he fell a few times. They couldn't go fast and he leaned his weight on Jess at the turns. Jess got a good laugh out of it.

A few times Isaac would lean against the wall and Jess would take a few laps by himself. He went fast and smiled at Isaac who would grin back but roll his eyes.

They spent a few hours there before leaving. When they got home Isaac had to leave. He kissed Jess goodbye and waved to Daisy.

Kleandra gave him a hug and he hugged her back. He sent a soft smile at Jess on his way out and mouthed 'I love you'. Everything was okay.

Jess smiled. Everything was perfect at the moment. He couldn't be happier.

Daisy readverted his attention quickly by asking if he wanted to go walk with her. She wanted to go for a walk because that was apparently something she did now. Jess chuckled and agreed.

Writing fluff is weird, but cute. I always make myself feel single with these chapters.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed!

Love you ♡
