A/N: I know it was a long delay. Just some writers block. Lots of packing, cause I'm moving out. Also working on other stories at the same time... the usual. Enjoy :)
"I just might ask you the same question." he said a little seriously. I peeked my head from around the corner and noticed that his back was facing me. Now I stayed in that position so I could hear better and see. "I know you thought you snuck out quietly, guess you forgot I'm a light sleeper." Lilly folded her arms and shot him a glare. He looked about a few inches taller then Lilly. Short dark hair and a deep, yet gentle voice.
"Alright you caught me, I couldn't sleep, so I felt like going for a little walk." Lilly shrugged her shoulders.
"A walk? Why at 1am in the morning? And it's cold out right now." he chuckled.
"I just wanted to get out of the house for a while you know? Plus it's Friday, it doesn't matter how late."
"What's to get out of? It's warm and quiet inside. You were walking with someone else, weren't you?"
I could tell he was smirking just by the sound of his voice, plus the annoyed look on Lilly's face at the fact that he was guessing everything correctly. "If I was, why would it matter?" Lilly replied, confidently.
"Why? It matters to me, because I'm your older brother and Lilly you know how I feel when you shut me out. Don't start that again, just tell me the truth. I just want you to be safe." Ethan finished gently.
After that was said, Lilly looked at the ground for a moment then faced her brother again. "Yeah I know you do. And I'm not shutting you out, I was just walking with a friend of mine cause she..." Don't say it Lilly. "...she just felt like going for a walk. We both know it's late, but why not try something new every now and then, you know?"
Nicely worded, although I heard a pause. Only silence from her brother as if he didn't buy it. Then I saw a hand move up to his face and rest on his chin. "So is she still around?"
"No she went home, just a few blocks away." she said and cleared her throat.
"Where is she Lilly?"
"I just said-"
"Lilly, I've known you your whole life, so I can tell when you're lying. When you clear your throat after you say something, you're lying. So where is she Lilly?"
"Well she..." Lilly hesitated and looked down at the ground. Then looked over in my direction. I looked back at her. "Miley come on over." I was surprised and almost didn't want to move until I saw Ethan look my way too. He wasn't intimidating, I just wanted to get this over with.
I walked over to them and stood next to Lilly, then shook Ethan's hand. "Hey, good to meet ya."
"Ethan this is my... best friend Miley." I cocked an eyebrow at Lilly and she looked at me the same. "What?"
"Is this about earlier? Getting me back huh?" I asked, rather pissed.
"Are you kidding Miley? Do you really want to discuss this now?" Lilly loudly whispered.
"Well what other time will we have to be alone?" I stated sarcastically, then Ethan spoke up.
"Is there something I should know?"
"It's uh, no it's ok, it's just something between us." Lilly said in a small and shy voice.
"Yup, sure is. Lilly's just a little stubborn at times, like now. Isn't that right Ethan?" I said, annoyed now. I'm not sure what it was that suddenly triggered this boldness, but I didn't mind establishing what we were right now. And in front of Ethan either, he seemed like a cool guy to me and I felt that he could be trusted.
"Yeah that's right. So what's up guys? I'm sure I wasn't apart of your argument before, but you sure as hell put me in it now and its got me curious."
"Alright fine, but Miley are you sure? You haven't shown interest in wanting to say something before."
"Yeah I'm sure, I don't mind so much anymore. Besides, Ethan seems pretty cool to take some news like this, so I figure what the hell?" I shrugged simply.
"Wow, well ok...and of course he'd take it just fine. I never got around to telling you Miles, but he knows what I am, well that I'm gay."
"Oh, so I'm guessing you're the girlfriend?" Ethan said.
"Yeah that's right... wait what? Well I can only assume that Lilly has mentioned me then?"
"Oh yeah, she talks about you all the time. No matter how tough she says you are, you sure don't look like it. Anyway, she never said you guys were girlfriends yet, but with the way she can't stop thinking about you, I figure what hell, why not just say right now? So you're welcome girls, I said it for you." Ethan smirked as he finished talking.
"You're right, we've been trying to talk about that, but never got around to it, thanks Ethan." Lilly smiled.
We looked at each other. "Of course its hardly been a day though-"
Lilly cut me off with a quick kiss. "And those few hours are quite memorable."
Ethan suddenly groaned. "Ugh, ok could you please spare me that cheesy stuff and let me know why you're here Miley?"
"Oh right, sorry. Well I just needed to get out of the house tonight cause... I felt like seeing Lilly. I also asked her if I could stay the night, is that ok?"
He put a hand on his chin again and looked at me in thought. "That bad over there huh?" Damn this guy is good. "Alright, as long as you call your parents in the morning and let them know you're fine."
"Yeah no shit, like brother like sister. Dude that's exactly what Lilly said." I told him in awe.
"Told you we're close, he's a great guy." Lilly smiled at him. "Thanks Ethan."
"No problem, now lets go inside and get to bed, it's late."
"Right, thanks guys." I said as we walked inside.
Once we were upstairs and just as I walked in Lilly's room, Ethan had one last thing to say.
"Oh Lilly, do I have to make you keep your door open, or are you two gonna behave?"
Lilly gasped. "Goodnight and shut up." then she slammed her door and we heard his close. "Damn that was embarrassing. And his room is right next to mine." Lilly told me as she sat on her bed. I walked over and stood next to her.
"It's fine, I thought it was kind of funny. He's a really nice guy." She nodded in agreement. Then I slid down next to her bed, leaning my back against it and sat on the floor, then pulled my legs toward me comfortably.
"You ok Miles?" Lilly got off her bed and sat next to me.
I sighed. "Yeah I'm ok, I'm tired, but just too tired to sleep. You ever get that feeling?" I turned my head to look at her.
"Yeah I know what you mean, I feel like that sometimes too. But I know there's another reason for your sudden slump."
"Well my parents and this fight for one thing, that's obvious. But I forgot to mention something else to you, when I was listening in on their conversation. They said they do notice my attitude and how I dress, but just act like they're to busy to tell me, so they let me go ahead with it." I rubbed my forehead as a headache started.
"Oh Miles I'm sorry," I leaned my head on Lilly's shoulder as she gently started to run her fingers through my hair anyway. "It'll be fine, don't-"
I continued to lay my head on Lilly's shoulder as I talked. "Don't tell me not to worry. Do you realize how uncomfortable that talk is gonna be? It's gonna include them talking about me eavesdropping and my attitude and I probably will have to stop dressing the way I do."
"You can't just suddenly stop with doing what you want. I know you're not 18 yet, but it's your life after all and they kept a few big secrets from you."
"Yeah you're right, I shouldn't have too change my look. You know what I won't worry and can we just forget about it tonight..." I lifted my head up and turned to her. Our faces were just inches apart, so it was easy enough for me to move in and kiss Lilly for several seconds. "...and distract ourselves." I smirked, then kissed her, but she stopped after just a small peck.
"But Miley it's the middle of the night." Lilly said, looking me in the eyes. She was trying to be serious, yet I saw that she wanted to stay up too.
"Exactly, perfect timing right?" I held the smirk on my face as I saw Lilly blush with the faintest hint of pink. As her gaze went to the ground, a small smile slowly crept upon her face.
"Well I guess... we could sleep in since tomorrow's saturday." then Lilly looked up at me, but only for a second, as a giant smile spread across my face and I crashed my lips against hers once again. I also pushed her back on the floor, but slowly so we wouldn't be heard.
After about a minute, Lilly broke the kiss and slowly leaned up on one elbow. "Miles maybe we should..." don't say it, don't stop this. "... lets take this to the bed. Floor's a bit uncomfortable."
At those words I immediately shot to my feet and grabbed Lilly's hand, taking her with me. We sat on the bed with a slight bounce, then I settled back, laying down and in the same position. "Good idea, this is more comfortable." I replied in a low voice that I didn't have any idea I had.
"Well well, someone's feeling a bit horny tonight."
"Oh you have no idea." I said, in a low tone yet again and moved in to kiss her.
For a second I ran my tongue along her lip and she immediately opened her mouth. Tongue against tongue sensation felt amazing. I explored her mouth as she did the same with mine. As we were busy I felt some other skin against my skin, some soft skin. I broke the kiss to look down at my shirt. Even though it was short, it was lifted higher, with Lilly's hand under it.
She looked in my eyes as she slowly removed her hand. "S-sorry." Lilly whispered.
"And they say I'm the tough girl?" I commented, we both chuckled.
"Well I just thought I'd move along. It's not too fast is it? Well I know this hasn't even gone on for a day, but still..."
"No Lil, it's not too fast." I giggled.
"You know what I saw under there, just on the left side of your stomach." she asked curiously.
I smiled for some reason. "Yeah I know."
"Why and how did you get a tattoo?"
"I know a guy in one of the shops, and not in my mothers thank god. So about a year ago he agreed to let me get one and you know, it doesn't hurt as bad as people make it out to be."
"Well that's interesting. Why is it M.S? Your initial-"
I didn't let her finish and gently pressed my lips on hers for a few seconds. "No." I whispered, then I slid my shirt back down. I didn't want to talk about it now, or even think about it. Now I rolled on top of her and started to heat up the make out. Lilly was content for a minute, then broke the kiss.
"Miles wait, what was that?" she breathed in a whisper.
"Not now Lil." I kissed her soundly. "Don't ruin the moment and lets keep going." I whispered to her. I was breathless and kissed her once more, now moving my tongue into her mouth and distracting her once again. It was longer this time, but she still didn't stray from the thought.
A/N: Review! Peace!
