Ch 28: Trapped
Ships: TyVan and BriCk (Brian and Brock... BriCk xD I'm dying help)
Evan POV
"Was it really a good idea to come here during a fucking blizzard?" Tyler groaned, walking to other side of the room we were trapped in. Brian sighed deeply, facepalming. "It was nice after we left the house, Tyler. None of us knew this would happen, okay?!"
I sat in the corner of the room, bored out of my mind.
We got trapped in this small room, trying to explore some abandoned places. Though while we were here, a snowstorm trapped us inside. "Alright guys, just cool it. No point in fighting." Brock defused the argument before it even went alight. My mind started wandering to the worst.
We have no phone service, this place is abandoned, and who knows how long we'll be stuck here. Are we going to die here?
I gulped, looking at the cracked window. Snow was up to the middle of it, and it was a pretty tall window. The snow would probably bury me. An uneasy feeling entered my stomach, worry masking my face.
Did I have to look so weak? Especially in front of my friends? My crush?!
"Hey guys, remember I brought some dry snacks along." Brock commented, reaching into his large bag. Oh thank god. But I wasn't hungry, yet. I'm going to wait until my stomach starts begging for something. I probably couldn't eat a bite in my condition, either.
The cold wind was able to seep through the missing glass here and there, making the temperature drop in here. I was shivering, even though I was in a heavy jacket and my beanie.
No one was speaking. Well what was there to talk about?
So how about that weather?
Yeah it's fucking horrible thanks for asking.
"Evan, you okay?" Someone walked over, sitting next to me. I turned my head and was greeted by Tyler. Fuck.
"Huh? O-oh yeah I'm... cool." I chuckled after my little joke. Tyler let out a small laugh, making my face flame up. Keep doing that and I'll be hotter than Lucifer. "You were looking pretty stressed out. And you were shivering, a lot." Tyler continued.
I sighed, a shiver crawling up my spine. "I guess I'm more of a Pessimist in these situations."
"So you're a glass half empty guy?" I nodded. "You seem pretty calm, though. Half glass full guy?"
He shook his head. "More of a glass of water thing. It depends." I chuckled, smiling at him.
A shiver racked my body again, causing Ty to sigh. Before I knew it, his arms were around me, in an attempt to warm me up. And, holy Jesus, did that work.
"Thanks. I'm kind of weak to the cold." I could feel Tyler nod on top of my head.
On the other side of the room, Brock and Brian were quite snuggled up. Lucky they are actually dating.
It was starting to get dark, I noticed, as the two across from us dozed off in each other's arms. Their noses and mouths were covered, trying to prevent Pneumonia or something. That's a good idea. At this point, I was pretty warmed up. Tyler was definitely a heater, plus my blush warmed up my face nicely.
"Let's lay down, try to get some sleep." Tyler whispered into my ear, his hot breath stinging my cold skin. I was greeted by a rush of cold when Tyler released me, laying down on the hard floor. His back was facing the wall.
Though, he opened his arms to me, well, opened his jacket for me. "Take yours off and put it on top. We'll warm up faster."
Survival 101, thank you.
I stripped off my large jacket, setting it on top of Tyler before entering his arms. My face was in flames the whole time, and I could swear Tyler's was too.
After I settled into his chest, he closed his arms and his jacket around me, instantly warming me up. I wrapped my arms around him too, in an attempt to warm him.
Neither of us were shivering. My face was buried into his chest, and his in my hair. Did it bother him? This was my dream come true, really. Cuddling with my crush, keeping each other warm and comfortable... it felt so real.
Tyler POV
How fucking smooth am I?
Evan's hair smelled good. Like, really good. I don't know why, but his smell was just attractive. So was his face. And his personality. And literally everything. I wonder if he likes me? That'd be a miracle. I mean, he was blushing a lot around me, and for all he knew I was just trying to keep warm.
But I was totally using that as an excuse to cuddle with the small Canadian.
His arms were around me, trying to keep me a bit warm, too. He was just so fucking cute. Maybe I'll ask him tomorrow... I thought as I drifted into a deep sleep.
TS: Tomorrow
"Hm?" I mumbled, squinting my eyes against the daylight that was pouring through the window. Brock and Brian were still cuddled up to each other, fast asleep. Evan still laid in my arms, though he looked restless.
Absentmindedly, I softly set my lips onto his head of hair, kissing it. The action felt natural, though my face started warming up quite a bit. I panicked a little when the owl stirred a little, but he continued sleeping.
Maybe I should at least try to sleep...
The warmth Evan was radiating felt amazing, too. Like, it made me want to fall asleep. My eyes drifted closed absentmindedly, falling into a more restful sleep.
Evan POV
My eyes fluttered open, trying to take in the environment. After a second of panic, I remembered everything that happened. I was still cuddled up to Ty, who was, actually, really warm. Somehow, my face went from his chest to the crook of his neck, which of course, embarrassed the hell out of me.
There wasn't any other sound, just Tyler's soft snoring. I didn't want to get up; he was just so comfortable. And this felt so right, even though we were far from being together. Slowly, I tilted my head upwards to glance at his face. He stirred, his eyes slowly opening. I had a moment of panic, and I couldn't move when he looked down and our eyes met.
Tyler's eyes were mesmerizing. They were a nice blue, that reminded me of an ocean, or the sky on a nice day. While mine were just a dull brown.
Neither of us said a word, our staring contest continuing. The sun poured in, bright and warm. It offered a bit of heat, not like we absolutely needed it.
"Evan?" Tyler eventually asked.
"Y-yeah?"
He cleared his throat softly, trying not to wake Brian and Brock. "D-do you?..." he trailed off, blushing a little. "N-never mind..." he mumbled afterwards. What was he going to ask?
After that, I brought my head back down, into his neck.
Tyler didn't seem to mind; he didn't tense up or tell me to move. So I just stayed, breathing in his scent. And oh, what a nice smell that was.
"Guys, wake up," someone shook us awake. Did I fall asleep again? "We can get to the car, at least. Until the snow melts enough." Brock continued. I turned from Tyler's grasp, grabbing my coat in the process.
"At least we'll have heat. Can't get Hypothermia now, eh?" I commented, slipping on my coat. Tyler stood up, zipping up his jacket. "I was pretty warm." My face flamed up at his comment, even though it was really nothing.
"Okay, ready to drown in snow?" Brian asked, grabbing the handle of the door. I nodded, even though I might be the one drowning. Brian opened the door, snow falling from the outside.
The wall of snow was really high; I felt like I was in Canada.
