19?

When they finished with lunch, they decided on walking around a bit. It ended up with Noah and Isak walking behind Mikalea and Michael. Mikalea and Michael were chatting up a storm while Noah was pointing out his favorite things to Isak. Noah’s arm was wrapped around Isak’s as they were talking about anything and everything. When they got home, Michael got a call from Nick asking if he wanted to go to Nick’s house. Michael obliged and Mikalea asked him to drop her off at the mall so that she could just have something to do. This meant that Isak and Noah would finally have alone time. When they both left, Noah and Isak turned the television on. “Well, what do you want to watch?” Isak asked as Noah got a blanket and rested it over the two of them.

“You choose this time.”

“Ok. Is The Proposal, ok?”

“Yes sir.” Noah laughed, kissing Isak on the cheek. Isak hit play on the movie and pulled Noah closer to him. Noah rested his head on Isak’s shoulder as the movie began. Halfway through Noah was nodding off, and it was obvious to Isak. So, Isak shifted so that his back was to the armchair and he opened his arms to Noah. “Sleep.” Isak said in a gentle but commanding tone. Noah didn’t resist and laid his head down on Isak’s chest, his arms tucked under Isak. As he shifts to get comfortable Isak places a kiss on his head and puts his arms around Noah, holding him. Noah fell asleep moments later, and Isak pulled a blanket over the two of them. Isak pulled out his phone and texted michael,

Hey, is it possible for you to pick up Mikalea when she’s ready and bring her home?

Yeah! I’ll text her. Everything okay?

Yes, everything’s fine. Noah is just really tired. Thank you, though! I’ll see you whenever.

Okay! Bye.

While on his phone, Isak ordered some food to be dropped off in an hour or two, so it doesn’t disturb Noah. Isak kept still as much as he could. Noah’s breathing was soothing to Isak. Ever since Noah had his panic attack, well Isak was really nervous it would continue to worsen. But, since that day, everything has seemed normal. Noah didn’t have the best past with his father or step-fathers for that instance. It was like every person that had to play a role as a dad in his life, never really wanted to be one. But, then Noah began working at that cafe, and he now has a father figure that is proud to be one. Mr. Claxton. Mr. Claxton hired Noah when they had first opened the cafe, which was a year or two ago, and Noah loved it. They became closer because they could relate, and the small fact that Mr. Claxton has a husband gives Noah an extra person to rely on. Occasionally, we have dinner as a group for small celebratory days. Like when Noah graduated college, or when Mr. Claxton got married.

About an hour later, Noah stirs in his sleep and Isak pulls him closer. Noah slowly opens his eyes, “Mmmmhi.”

“Hi sleeping beauty,” Isak smiles, placing a soft kiss on Noah’s head. “Did you sleep well?”

Noah nodded, looking up at Isak. “Is there anything to eat?” The doorbell rang a second later.

“It seems you’ve summoned the food. Let me go grab it.”
