Midnight Musings
"I love you," he whispers, so quietly, he's not sure if Chuck heard it. He isn't sure if Chuck's even awake still.
"What?" Chuck lifts his head of Casey's chest and looks up at him, shock written all over his face.
"Nothing," Casey says, shaking his head.
He tells himself it doesn't matter what happens next, that it doesn't matter if Chuck doesn't say it back, that it won't hurt like hell when Chuck climbs out of bed and walks away from him.
But he's just lying to himself. Because he knows it's going to hurt like hell. Because it already hurts, staring into Chucks disbelieving eyes.
But Chuck doesn't leave. He just lays his head back down on Casey's chest and closes his eyes again. Casey isn't sure how he's supposed to respond to this.
"I love you, too," he finally says, causing Casey to release a breath he hadn't even realized he'd been holding.
Okay, so anyone who has read any significant amount of anything I've written probably knows just how rare this is. I don't write fluff. I write overly angsty one shots that likely end in death. I can't remember the last time I wrote fluff.
Reviews are loved : )
