Feeling tired of pretending, Cameron braved himself to wake up. He actually had woken up hours ago but he closed his eyes still, not wanting to face the reality just yet. Damian was out of his life, like forever. He didn't know what to do so he brushed it off like Damian didn't actually leave.
But he couldn't live in his imagination miserably anymore. He needed to be a real man. And maybe if their faith said they needed to be together, nothing could ever separate them, right?
Then out of blue, a sound of water dripping broke Cameron's daydream. He was shocked and a little bit terrified. Who the fuck could use his water? Only Damian had the key to his apartment, except the boy had vanished from Cameron's life forever. He peeked from his room's door to his apartment.
Was Cameron starting to imagine things up? Because he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Washing some dishes, Damian's figure was standing sturdily in front of him. Damian's back was on Cameron, yet Damian was shining like an angel. Cameron blinked a couple times as he walked into the washing machine.
Was this real life? Did Damian just shine? This is really weird. He thought. Once Damian was done with the dishes, he looked back to Cameron, who was bewildered. Damian then smiled ear to ear to Cameron. The nerd gasped a little bit. His heart was pumping really hard. God, Damian is so cute.He thought. He could feel butterflies inside his stomach flying freely like it was the time topollination.
"Hello, Cam." Damian spoke.
"Uum." the nerd stuttered. "Is this a dream?"
"Yeah, Robert Cameron Mitchell. This is a dream." Damian chuckled lightly.
Cameron was startled a little bit. Confusing, but… "Aaah… That makes sense then."
Damian burst into a laugh. "No, Cam. How could you believe that?"
"What?" Cameron asked confusedly.
"God, you're so cute when you're clueless." the nerd continued to laugh then he smiled.
Cameron couldn't do anything but blushed. This must be the real and cute Irish Damian he had been missing. He was sure. "God, I miss you so fucking bad, Damo! You could never imagine how bad!" the nerd then ran to hug the Irish tightly.
"What― Cam― Okay." Damian laughed. He hugged Cameron back, enjoying this moment. Breathing Cameron's cologne which was mixed with the nerd's sweat was really calming. "I only left for a couple hours, Cam." he laughed as he pulled apart.
"Yeah but it felt like forever for me. I thought you left me forever." Cameron pouted.
"What? Why would you think that?"
"Because I y―" he didn't continue his words since he didn't want to remind Damian of the bad memories so he didn't finish his sentence. "Nothing. Where had you gone by the way?"
"Well I went to Aj's to give his jacket he left before tour, as I have planned this morning. But then I bought us dinner." Damian said excitedly. "As you can see." Damian gestured his hands to the full of food dinner table in front of them. Cameron smiled. He definitely didn't see that.
"I thought you would be exhausted and hungry today because we didn't really eat due to the fighting we had, and you know, the fun we had. Do you remember?"
"Yeah, of course I remember. It was wonderful, Damo." the Irish blushed. But Cameron started to cry a little bit, though he didn't know the reason.
"Hey, hey why are you crying?" Damian tried to calm his friend down. "Look," Damian cupped his friends face gently. "I'm never going to leave you okay? Never. You hear me, Cam?"
Cameron sobbed harder. "Yeah, I know. It's just I'm so happy you're actually here. I'm really sorry for things I said, Damian. I fucking am."
"Aaaaw… I'm happy you're here too." Damian smiled. "And I have forgiven you. Don't you worry, okay?" Cameron nodded happily. Then Damian continued. "But we have to start eating, I'm starving."
Cameron's mood changed. He laughed along with Damian. They took a seat and ate the dinner Damian had settled.
They talked, joked, laughed, held hands, and any other things couple did on a date. Until it finally reached the part where Cameron couldn't control himself and blurted out.
"Damo… What are we?"
