Sky/Adam's POV

I could just stare at him like an idiot that I was. He fidgeted in his seat, eyes trained on my face, undoubtedly waiting to see what I say. That's what he was doing all along! He always watched the one he talked to, so he could see what they said! Now that he thought about it, it all made so much more sense.

Ty ignoring everything while he drew, Ty only writing texts, Ty jumping out of his skin whenever someone touched him from behind, warning call or not. All the times he thought Ty was ignoring them, all the times he got so angry he punched Ty's shoulder. Not with much force, but he did, nevertheless.

It now made sense why Ty always refused to Skype and play Minecraft with them online. He couldn't.

Adam felt like the biggest asshole of the whole planet.

Ty's POV

I gulped.

He was just sitting there, hand still on the mouse. My character was being brutally murdered by a skeleton and a spider pouncing on his face. I would've felt bad for him and saved him, but I was far too lost in my own thoughts.

He was just sitting there, staring into nothing, and honestly, it made me nervous. My hands were starting to shake and there was nothing I could do to stop it.

Tears welled in my eyes, my pathetic tries to steady my breathing weren't working and I wanted the earth to open and just swallow me like I was. He's probably thinking up some insult right now and wants it to be perfector he wants to scream at me for not telling him anything.

I couldn't wait for it.

TP's POV

Adam opened his mouth to start the apologizing rant he mentally prepared, but Ty beat him to it.

"I think you should go," It was obvious he was on the verge of tears and was barely holding back the sobs that threatened to escape his bitten lips.

Adam's eyes widened behind his shades and he just kind of gaped at Ty, who was already on his feet. The shorter male was holding the door open, head hung in what looked like shame, but in reality, he was just hiding his face, now stained with tears, from his little crush.

The taller, tanned male in question was currently sporting a worried expression with just a tad bit of confusion. Why was Ty sending him away?

Did he-?

No.

He couldn't have been thinking about Adam being angry, could he?

No, no, no. Why would he even be angry? Because Ty didn't tell them? Sure, he felt like an asshole for doing stuff wrong, but he sure as hell wasn't angry. Quite the opposite, actually. He wanted to go and hug the soul out of Ty, who he just couldn't stand looking so down.

So that's exactly what he did. In no time at all, his arms were wrapped around the petite boy, who was just frozen in his hold, tears streaming down face, shoulders shaking with the unsteady breaths and sobs. He relaxed soon, though, and laid his head on Adam's chest, neither caring that Ty's tears were wetting his shirt. Sky's fingers rubbed small, abstract patterns on his back while Ty's hands locked around Adam's neck.

Knowing he wouldn't get through with talking now, Adam pulled his phone out of his pocket and started to furiously tap the touch screen.

A few seconds later, Ty's phone vibrated in his pocket and he tried rubbing the tears off his face, but it wasn't working, so Adam's hands swatted his away and brushed the liquid track off. Ty's shaky hand produced his smartphone and he could see he had two new messages after the screen lit up.

One was from yesterday, his mom sending it after he disappeared upstairs, "Text if you need anything 3"

The second one was, though, was sent only moments ago, and was from Adam, whose shining name "Sky" (in yellow – buttery- color) stood out over the black background. "You are amazing," it read.

Ty's eyes (watery again) raised to gaze into Adam's. He was caught off guard, though, as he looked into the soft, honey colored irises. Adam took the shades off while he was busy with his phone. There was a barely noticeable tan line on his smiling face, and if Ty was being honest to god, the man before him was the most gorgeous one he'd even seen in his life. And he was leaning down.

Their lips connected gently, and Ty's eyes fluttered closed, little shocks going throughout his body.

When they parted, Adam held his gaze and Ty had to unwillingly move his eyes to Adam's lips when he began speaking.

"Tyler Lox, you are amazing. You were with me every day for 5 months, and yet I couldn't figure out that you are deaf. That is amazing, Ty, but I want you to stop acting," Sky's arms tightened around Ty's petite figure, "I want you to act like yourself, starting now."

Ty was silent for a moment, but then stood on his tiptoes and reconnected their lips.

"I want us to date, then."
