About a week passes and I'm still thinking about Noah's question.. I think honestly I'm ready to start that conversation again. I'm laying on Noah's couch waiting for him to get back from class while I eat some Cheeto puffs. I really need to get a job I feel like such a jerk. 
I hear jiggling at the doorknob so I spring up on the couch excited to see Noah's irritated face, but instead of seeing a stressed out Noah I see three dingus's walk in instead. Owen walks in with Izzy and Sierra and I groan and plop back down on the couch. 
Sierra walks over to me and leans over the couch looking down at me "well hi to you two my best friend that I care so much for" She says like that's what she expected me to say that when she walked in. I laugh a little "fine, sorry, hi guys I was just expecting someone else to come through the door" She flicks my forehead "much better". 
Owen comes over after grabbing a glass of milk out of the fridge sitting at my feet, I get the hint so I sit up and ask "hm so where were you guys all day?" Izzy jumps in and talks excitedly "we went to the mall, we met up with Lindsay and Beth, they invited us to go shopping with them, then Lindsay said she would buy us some clothes as long as she got to choose" I look over at the bags "Alright that explains the bags, show me what she got you" Izzy bring over the bags and dump them out in the middle of the couch. 
I look at them and they look actually nice, Lindsay does have good fashion taste but then again what do I know about fashion? "Nice, I like this" I pull up a shirt with a checkered pattern along the middle with connected long black sleeves under the short sleeves, Sierra giggles and almost snorts "good because I got that for you, it looked like something you would wear and I knew you would feel left out sooo" I hold it in my arm and chuckle "wow thanks Sierra that's really nice". 
We hear a jiggle at the door handle again and all look at the door showing a familiar annoyed face standing walking in. He takes a look at everyone and walks past them grabbing my hand taking me to his room and shutting the door. As confused as I am I don't question anything he looks tired, he takes off his shoes and crawls in the bed opening his arms. I chuckle softly and crawl in cuddling up to his chest as I do often. 
I feel kinda bad for ditching them but I didn't really have a choice in this matter. I speak softly as to not mess up his comfort "How was school?" He groans "annoying, fucking professor just irritates me and this guy in there always acts like a fool, he tries so hard to be funny in the class and people laugh at him making his ego grow it just pisses me off, I'm paying for a class that gets distracted so much I don't even know what I'm doing there." I frown a little "that guy is a jerk, I hate people like that". 
He steadies his breathing and he starts to play with my hair "you would be the other guy laughing at his jokes Cody" I slowly shake my head "no way, I wouldn't" he disagrees with me a few more times until I admit that I totally would be laughing. 
I get a little laugh out of him and it makes me feel better "is that all that happened?" I ask and he nods "yeah, it was just annoying plus I'm tired and finished all my homework they assigned before I got here so I didn't have to do it here and get distracted". 
He stays quiet for a few before talking quieter or I guess more calm "enough about that, how are you feeling?" "I'm good, a bit lonely without you here though, I didn't really wanna go home today so I told my parents I was staying at sierras for a bit" I say and he hums in agreement "alright, do you have to leave tonight?" He asks making me feel a little insecure like I'm a child that has to go home on a curfew "well I don't have to.. so does that mean you want me to stay over?".
He stops playing with my hair and puts his hand on my back rubbing gently "yeah, you could keep me sane with Owen and Izzy." I laugh "alright, I will protect your sanity tonight".
For the past week we haven't really kissed or talked about that day at all but he does hug me and sleep with me. I don't even know the right time to bring it up.. would now be a good time? No he's stressed and I don't want to bother him, or maybe now would help him feel less stressed.. uhg I don't know. 
As confused as I am he taps my back "hey scatterbrain what's on your mind." I work up the courage knowing he asked me about it "I wanna talk about.. us" I ask confidently until the end where I just sound shaky. He continues to rub my back "alright, I'm listening" he says not having a clue how much I have to say. 
I take a deep breath "I think I'm ready to date, you obviously" wow I can't talk "I'm done thinking about what everyone else is gonna think and my parents.. they don't have to know right? Heh yeah they don't." He talks gently but sounds more tired than usual "yeah they don't have to know until your ready Cody, and maybe until your out of the house". I know he knows. 
My mouth turns into a big smile "so it means your still willing to be my boyfriend?" He tiredly says with full sarcasm "nooo I hold you like this because I don't see you anymore than a friend" his chest moves in a laughing motion and he lets go of me "let me see you" I move over in front of him and lay my head on his pillow "can you see me?" I ask jokingly. 
He leans over and kisses me gently before pulling away "so, will you finally be my boyfriend Cody? I wanna hear you say it" I nod and can't control my smile "yeah, I will" his eyes are barely staying open so I decide it'll be best to celebrate this later "Noah, you should get some sleep before you go to work, want me to wake you up?" He grabs his phone and puts on his alarm "no I got that figured out, sleep with me" i nod and get cozied up to him "fine, but don't snore in my ear again" he laughs a little "wake me up if I do" he says and closes his eyes holding me. 
I close my eyes but quickly open them when I hear the door creaking open slowly. Really guys. I hear footsteps coming towards me and a poke on my back "sierra that you?" She whispers and giggles "I heard you two through the door I'm so happy for you two" I move Noah's arm and turn the opposite direction to talk to Sierra "thank you stalker, I'm so happy right now you have no clue" she hugs me and i hug back almost instantly super excited "so this means I get to tell everyone now?" I shake my head "no we will, dork".
Noah pulls me in closer to him and groans "I'll tell you all about it later" I hug his arm and get little spooned "alright, I'll talk to you later sleep tight" she says and walks out of the room closing the door. I smile a little and close my eyes feeling comfortable.
