Chapter 14
Jojen smiled lightly as he stood next to Bran, facing his parents.
"Now, do you both understand?" Howland was saying.
They nodded and Jojen replied. "Yes dad."
Jyana smiled. "We're trusting you now."
They both smiled, hopeful about this. Meera had left for the night as she had to meet with others from college and would be out for the whole night. Howland and Jyana had to go out too and so Bran and Jojen would have the house to themselves As such they urged the boys to behave and follow a few ground rules that they set. Both boys agreed, listening carefully to the rules.
"Now, we'll be out till late." Jyana was saying. "But don't use that as an excuse."
Howland also added. "Yes, no staying up far too late."
They both laughed and Bran replied. "Yes, we understand."
Nodding, satisfied, the Reeds finally left. Bran and Jojen shared a warm smile, taking each other's hands.
"So, shall we begin?" Jojen asked.
Bran nodded. "You bet."
With that they went to get ready for the night they had planned. It was relatively simple, but still something they knew would work well for them.
Before long they were getting set up; Jojen had called for a pizza and was fetching a duvet from upstairs. Meanwhile Bran got their drinks and set them up along with Jojen as he set up the duvet. They soon got the DVDs set up for their TV series marathon. It was planned to go on until late, albeit not too late.
Finally the pizza arrived and joined the set up they had made. Finally, to save themselves the trouble later, both boys got changed into their pyjamas. Bran wearing brown pyjama trousers with a brown and white pyjama top. Jojen meanwhile wore green pyjamas, consisting of a pyjama T-shirt and matching shorts.
"Well, here we go." Jojen remarked.
Bran grinned. "Yeah...wow, you look..."
Jojen laughed as he saw Bran's eyes on him, notably his legs, visible in his pyjama shorts.
"Having fun?" He teased. "Checking me out huh?"
Bran blushed furiously at that. "What...I, I just..."
Jojen laughed and pulled Bran close, kissing him. "I'm messing with you Bran; it's actually quite flattering."
Bran bit his lip but smiled and soon they settled in under the duvet, enjoying their pizza and drinks, cuddling together as they started their TV marathon. The two boys felt so comfortable and happy together, that despite everything, it was clear they were content.
'If only moments like this never had to end.' Jojen thought. 'I know Bran is still hurting over his family issues, but...anything I can do to help him overcome that, if even for a moment, has to be worth it.'
Bran relaxed, considering his current situation. 'Honestly, it still hurts, the way my family reacted, the knowledge that things were just too…What matters is I'm here and I'm happy, with Jojen.'
With that the two boys leaned closer to each other and got comfortable, enjoying their marathon, eating and drinking until they finally fell asleep together.
Arriving home late at night, Howland and Jyana paused, they could hear the TV. Approaching the living room they stopped and both couldn't help but smile. While the TV still ran in the background; Bran and Jojen were fast asleep, holding each other, both looking so happy.
"Aww, they're so sweet." Jyana whispered.
Howland laughed softly. "Agreed, let's, um..."
Jyana agreed and they quietly switched off the TV and put away the pizza box and drinks. The boys looked so comfortable, they didn't have the heart to wake them; so they let them sleep; both still happy with the sight they had seen; still thinking how sweet they looked together.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
