-Jesse's POV-

'I do hope you know, I am never letting you get away from me again' Christan's deep voice buzzed in my ear, making me feel all tingly inside.

I was facing the front door, pulling my keys out of my back pocket.

Thankfully, not having to shift as Christan and I walked home slowly, meant I wasn't at risk of losing my keys.

'Im not planning on going anywhere' I smiled, pushing the key into the door.

'THEO! DONT!' My mother squealing in excitement from the other side of the door made me jump back, jolting the key out as I did.

Mum.

I can't tell mum.

Which means no one else in the house can find out, or see anything.

Does Christan know that? I dont want to have him thinking I want to hide us.

Before he could take the key from my hand, I pulled him back behind one of the trees a few metres away from the house.

'You do know why we cant-'

'You do know you forget to put up your block majority of the day? Especially when you're thinking' Christan smirked, putting his hands around my waist.

'Why is it that you can read my thoughts, and I'm not allowed to read yours?' I asked with a frown.

'When did I ever say you weren't?' He inquired.

I opened my mouth to speak, but words wouldnt form.

'Well then' I said, lost for words.

'It'll be like we are just step-siblings in front of all of them. Im fine with it, but I understand your fears. Just know I'll be there to help'

He made me smile sometimes.

Alot of the time.

All the time.

'I'm denying that you're perfect, because it will go to your head. But you are.. something else' I looked up at him, unable to keep my smile contained.

'I'm yours' He said softly, leaning his head down and placing his lips against mine.

It was so cold out; without his constant kisses I'd be blue-lipped.

I could stay in the freezing cold forever, as long as I had him.

I pulled back, laughing lightly.

'We have to get Valerie to sleep. I promised her I'd be back with you an hour ago' I said.

'But I just got to start kissing you without making you mad first' He pouted lightly.

'Can we watch a movie when we get upstairs?' He suggested.

I thought for a moment.

'How about three?'

Christan looked confused as I skipped back to the front door, opening it this time.

'Jess! Where's a good place to hide?' My mum exclaimed in a hushed tone, her eyes wide with excitement.

'Uh.. basement?' I stumbled, confused as to what she was doing.

'Thanks kid! Hi Christan!' She spoke hushed again, before racing off in the direction of the basement stairs.

'No problem mum..?' I said after her, still confused as hell.

'What was that about?' Christan asked as we walked down the hallway.

'I wouldnt know, I've been too caught up in the woods with someone for the past 2 hours' I smirked, walking into the living room before he could reply.

To find Valerine still on one of two bean bags beside Luke, still playing Fifa. Kaitlyn was asleep on the couch, and Valerie was about to shoot a penalty.

'Cant we play infinity Luke? I'm tired of playing and playing Fifa' Valerie dragged out, turning to look at Luke with a bored expression.

Luke on the other hand, was staring at the screen intently, his goalie moving back and forth.

'I will not lose to a four year old!' He exclaimed, making Kaitlyn stir in her sleep.

'You havent even won one game Luke! Im betterer!' She exclaimed, frustrated.

'I will win! Shoot!' He exclaimed competitively, still staring at the screen.

'Trust me, this time you wont-'

Luke's sentence stopped in its tracks because the ball had gone straight into the goal Luke was trying to save.

'I refuse to talk to you until tomorrow because you are ruining my flow! How could you beat me at Fifa??' He stood up and exclaimed, making her giggle.

'You arent 4 are you? Youre secretly a 40 year old time travelling agent come to destroy my chances of being the worlds most renound Fifa player!' He picked up Valerie, looking dead serious as he did.

'Where's your time travelling device you evil 40 year old?!?' He tilted her upside down, making her laugh even more.

I could not believe he looked as serious as he did.

'That's right Lucas. I was the rightful ruler of the Fifa title! I sent her to stop you, and now you have nothing!' Christan laughed evilly, walking out from behind me dramatically.

'What? You were my best friend! How could you?' Luke put Valerie down on the bean bag, walking towards Christan slowly.

'Jealousy! You stole the heart of the one I loved, the first place in all our classes, everything! I was always second best! I wont stand for it any longer!' Christan yelled in character, the two walking towards each other slowly.

'Kaitlyn never loved you! She-'

'HEY' Kaitlyn's head popped up from the couch, her eyes still half closed.

Her loud voice made me snap out of the argument. For a moment, I thought their fight was real.

'Use me as an example for your roleplay, you'll be sleeping on the floor Lucas' She warned, before collapsing back onto the couch.

'Love you babe' Luke blew his sleepy mate a kiss.

An 'Aww' released from my lips unintentionally. They were so cute.

'Good talk man' Christan laughed, holding his hand out to Luke.

'Agreed. We should join a drama club dude' Luke met Christan's hand, and they did the male chest bump thing as they laughed.

The whole time I was just thinking "So thats why women don't do that. We have boobs".

It would hurt..

'We better get you to bed sweetheart' I held out my hand to Valerie, who got up from the bean bag and took her hand in mine.

'Say goodnight to Luke and Kaitlyn' I watched her as she rubbed her eyes with her other hand, eyelids slightly droopy.

'Goodnight Katy, Goodnight Luke' She said sleepily, before yawning.

'Goodnight Valerie' Kaitlyn smiled, her head popping up from the couch again.

'Goodnight you 40 year old time traveller' Luke stuck his tongue out at Valerie, making her do the same in reply.

'Dont forget training tomorrow! Ya'll are lazy asses!' Kaitlyn yelled before popping back down onto the couch for the 2nd time.

'Got it, Night guys' I said to the both of them.

Christan, Valerie and I went upstairs and gave Valerie a bubble bath with the most amount of bubbles I have ever seen in one room at a time. We took her out quickly so she wouldnt get cold, and changed her into her pajamas, before Christan and I both took turns taking a shower.

After I had finished wiping the cold outside off my skin with boiling hot water, I stepped out, changing into a singlet and shorts, and quickly dashing under the bed covers to keep myself warm. Christan had only just put the heater on, so it was still quite cold.

Valerie was beside Christan on the right side of the bed. Christan, in the middle, had a laptop on his lap, both watching some kind of weirdly animated show.

The weirder thing was, the characters werent even speaking in English. It mustve been Russian or something.

'What are you even watching?' I whispered to Christan, pulling the sheets over mea.

'There's a huge bear and a small pink red riding hood in it' He averted his eyes from the show to me.

'So you dont know what it is?' I laughed lightly, careful not to interupt a drowsing Valerie.

'Not a clue. Valerie likes it though. Hell knows how she understands it'

'Does she understand it?' I questioned, shifting closer to him so I could see the laptop screen.

'I just watch her when she moves a lot and make up what Misha is going to say' Valerie said, her eyes already closed.

'Goodnight Val' I said, turning the volume down on the Russian show.

'Love you Val' Christan leant over and kissed Valerie on the forehead, while I took the laptop off his lap.

I clicked open the internet, interneting my way to the megashare link of Toy Story. Illegal, yes. But technically I've already bought all 3 DVD's, it's just somewhere downstairs.

Its not like I havent paid for it already.

'Do you remember the first time we met Valerie?' I turned to Christan.

'At the arcade, for our first technical date, yes I do' He smiled, putting his arm around me.

'Do you remember you said you were afraid of claw machines?' I snuggled into him, putting the laptop back on his lap.

'I'm not afraid! I just dont like them. They're just murderous. Can you imagine being stuck in one of those? These pieces of claw metal would pierce through your body and your blood and guts would be dripping after you as you got pulled out, ONLY to slip from its grip and fall 100 feet to the cold bottom' He emphasized his point.

I held in my laugh, pressing play on the laptop.

'Your fear is about to be taken away. You'll thank me later' I smiled.

And so began the marathon of Toy Story.

-------------------

Drop.

Drop.

Another drop.

Mutiple drops of water were landing on my face in the midst of my deep slumber, making me wonder what the hell was happening.

My eyes were still far from being able to open, but my hearing and sense of touch was becoming aware.

'Jesseeeeee. Babyyyyyy. Honey pieeeeee. Jaaaaaaaaayyy baaae' Christan's voice was forming into words.

Dragged out and lengthened words that made no sense.

Like whats up with the word 'Bae'? I have seen too many memes of the word 'Bae' within the past few months for the word to even have the slightest relevance to me.

'Jesseeee wake upppppp. I know you're awake. I can hear you thinking about how much you hate the word bae'

More droplets of water fell on my face, but my mind was still half unconscious.

What is that water? Why is Christan above me?

I groaned, turning my body so I could curl up into a ball on my side.

Dont wake me up this early. Not with rain.

'I just had a shower babe' Christan whispered lowly in my ear.

Then there were warm and wet lips on my neck, the feeling of his wet hair against the back of my neck giving me shivers.

I almost started thinking about how I was supposed to be avoiding him and stuff because our parents got married, but then I remembered last night.

And smiled.

I forced open my eyes when he reached my shoulder blade, leaving his soft wet kisses as a trail.

'What are you doing?' My voice was barely able to be heard, my eyes immediatly shutting themselves again as he began sucking on the skin.

I always thought this was gross when other people did it, but damn. It felt good.

'Claiming whats mine.. loving you.. Hm.. What else?' He mumbled against my skin.

'Waking me up too early' I grunted, yawning lightly.

'Jess it's already 9' Christan laughed against my neck, tickling me.

'And?' I closed my eyes again, snuggling more into my pillow.

'Three things actually' He said, his lips connecting with my skin again.

'Training' He said softly against my skin, before kissing me again.

'We're in the midst of war' He kissed me again, trailing back up my neck.

'And we're late to training that will prevent us from dying' He nibbled on my earlobe.

I held back the moan developing in the back of my throat. He was just too much.

'Then why are you making me feel so good that all I want to do is stay in bed with you all day and laze?' I turned around, looking straight up at his hovering face above me.

'Because I'm an asshole, and I still got you to wake up without being injured. Actually, it was probably the easiest and best way to wake you up' He grinned cheekily.

I rolled my eyes, pushing him to the other side of the bed.

I stood up from the bed, stretching and yawning as I did, before grabbing a towel.

Christan lept up off the bed, leaning on the wall beside the bathroom door.

The way he looked, with a low hanging towel almost falling off his waist, his 6 pack glistening, and his hair messily wet, gave me the strongest urge to just pull him in the shower with me.

'Save water, shower together?' He suggested, his cheeky smirk still plastered across his lips.

'Youve already had a shower so.. no' I closed the bathroom door behind me.

I went to the mirror, where my eyes widened at the way I looked.

My hair was fine, my face wasn't too sleep-ridden, my clothes were in order. That wasnt what surprised me.

What surprised me was the fact that there were slowly darkening bruises all down my neck.

Christan's past words rung in my head.

"Claiming what's mine.."

'Christan! How am I supposed to hide these? We have training!' I yelled out from the shower, frantically trying to put moisturizer on them to stop them being so visible.

'Love you!' He yelled back quickly, the bedroom door slamming after he had run out.
