Jude spent the day with Connor though, the doctor's wouldn't let him walk around just yet so he went out and got them some food which was just Wendy's from around the corner. He also stopped at home and got his laptop so he and Connor would binge watch Charmed (which is one of Connor's favorite shows) until they finally release him. He arrived only an hour after heading out and Connor was there waiting for him, a goofy smile on his face.
"What?" Jude asked but couldn't help but smile back.
"I just missed you is all. I never want you to leave me ever again." Connor said and patted the free spot next to him on the bed. "I love you so much, Jude and I'm so glad that you're okay. If anything were to happen to you I don't know what I would to with myself." He muttered as Jude sat down beside him. He then kissed him a couple of times and Jude held up his cast, showing that he did get hurt and Connor just chuckled, "I mean something worse. I am really sorry."
"It's not your fault." Jude assured him. "You told your mom after you woke that there was a water bottle under the brake. You couldn't have prevented that. I'm just happy that you're still with me."
They cuddled together in the bed and watched Charmed for the rest of the day til later that night Connor had fallen asleep on him. He exited out of Netflix and went to his writing app on his laptop and pulled up the novel he was working on. He typed in 'Chapter Four' and went on...
~FLASHBACK~
Jude is 16 and Connor is 17. The two have grown close and though they had a few fights over the years and Connor was going through some things with his father, they still managed to find a way back to each other. At the end of the school year, Connor was moving away because his mom had gotten a job in another state. It was hard for Jude to say goodbye because he loved Connor though he had never told him. Connor was the first person Jude had come out to and all Connor did was say 'cool' and asked him what he had for lunch like it was nothing, because.. It really wasn't and Connor knew how Jude felt about labeling people yet there he was labeling himself.
On the night before Connor's departure Jude had snuck out and went over to Connor's and tapped on his window and woke him. Connor snuck down stairs and let him in and they spent the night in the living room just talking and remembering the past years they've spent together. When it was 4am Jude knew it was his time to go. He headed to the door and Connor followed.
"Just one more thing." Jude said as he turned back to Connor, "If I don't ever see you again I want you to know that I-..." A pause as he tried not to swallow the words, "I really, really like you." He finally said.
"I know." Was all Connor said and leaned in and kissed Jude which took him by surprise. Connor never once talked about his sexuality but then again he acted like Jude's admission about his sexuality was nothing so he understood. Jude kissed him, wrapping his arms around his neck as one of Connor's hands rested on Jude's lower back. "I'll visit, don't worry." Connor said as he walked Jude to the end of the driveway. They kissed once more before Jude ran back home.
~Present Day~
Jude let out a yawn as he saved his work and shut his laptop. He shifted a bit but made sure not to wake Connor. He then shut his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep beside him.
