Chapter 10

Jamie tried his best to stay big when Vincent is around so he will be able to talk to him about if he would love to be his caregiver but the excitement he felt thinking about Vincent agreeing to be his caregiver had sent him slipping straight to his little space and had ended up hurting himself when trying to make coffee for Vincent.

And him sending Vincent to his room to get the first aid box kit making him to find out part of things he wanted to tell him himself almost makes him cry, he doesn't want him to find out yet until he tells him first and be sure if he is accepting of things like that or not.

He had rushed right after Vincent had went in when he remembered the situation of his room and he was scared to death as he saw the look on Vincent face when he saw the pastel pink forts he had made for his little space.

It reminds him of the way his brothers had looked at him three years ago when they also finds out about him.

The time of look he couldn't decipher if it's a look of hatred or just dislike.

Jamie had thought it was the right time for him to tell Vincent the reason he had called him over but when Jamie realised the younger is planning to pretend he didn't just notice a pink fort that was supposed to be for a nursery or a little girl in his room despite the fact that he is the only one living in the apartment.

It breaks him.

He didn't what to go through the same thing all over again. He didn't want to pretend like someone didn't just fine out about him. He hates the silent treatment he was given about the issue. He want to know what they think about it not them just wave it aside and behaved it never occurs.

The thought that Vincent had found him weird and had decided not to say anything because he was the teacher to his little sister  breaks Jamie's heart even more he had no idea when he started crying.

He already had a soft spot for the younger boy, he didn't want him to leave him. He is scared of been hated by him.

"Hey, what did you mean by me pretending nothing happened?" Vincent asked still hugging Jamie patting his back slowly. "I am really sorry if I hurt you in anyway, I didn't mean to do that Jamie. Can you please tell me what I did wrong?"

Jamie had no idea if it's because he was scared about the whole thing or because of the way Vincent had hugged him so tight trying to sooth him and makes him stops crying...Jamie finds himself slips into his little space.

Scared that Vincent will find him more repulsive and hate him more if he finds out more about the little space side of him, Jamie pulled away from Vincent as he made to ignore him.

Holding Jamie by his arms trying to get his attention, "Jamie..." Vincent called looking worried.

"Nuh" Jamie jerk his hand away from Vincent as he made to stand up and walk away from him.

Vincent pulled him back to himself making Jamie ended up sitting down on his lap. Jamie gasped softly when he realised where he was sitting as he made to stand up but Vincent wrapped his arms around his waist preventing him from standing up.

"Vee~" Jamie whines as he made to free himself from Vincent grip while the later didn't bulge.

"Has much as I loved the way you called my name, I won't be releasing you unless you tell me what's wrong." Vincent said behind Jamie's ear making him to squirmed at the hot breathe of his mouth behind his ear.

"Vee, let Jamie go-pwease?" Jamie pleaded realizing how much effect him sitting down on Vincent is having on him. He is starting to feel aroused and he doesn't think they are that close for him to feel that way about him.

"Promise to tell me what's wrong and I will release. Just promise Jamie."

"Yew we hate Jamie if Jamie tell" Jamie replied slowly.

"Hate you? Are you joking right now? Why will I hate you for telling me what's wrong?" Vincent asked confused.

"Bewcawse Jamie ish weard" Jamie said trying to turn to Vincent to look at him but only get to turn his cheek to him due to how he was sitting. "Yew don tink Jamie ish weard for bee wike dis?" Jamie asked hoping the younger will understand what he is trying to say.

Jamie felt a warm kiss being placed on his cheek he was turning to Vincent as he gasped softly touching his cheek. Vincent also kind of realised what he had done as he released his grip around Jamie's waist.

"S-sorry, I had no idea why I did that. I guess I just find you cute." Vincent defend bearing a faint flush on his cheek.

"Coot?' Jamie asked standing up in surprise as he turned to Vincent tilting his head slightly as he stares at him.

Vincent clasped his lips together into his mouth sucking on them as he held Jamie's hand pulling him closer to himself as he stares at the older standing in front of him.

Breathing out softly, Vincent held Jamie's hand he was holding together with his second hand as he stares from their conjoined hand back to Jamie.

"Jamie, will you hate me if I said I like you already? I know we just met and you are the teacher of my–of Chanel. But can you give me chance to be by your side? Even if it's as friends, I want to get to know you better." Vincent finished with a low smile still looking at the older who seems to stares back at him like he had grown two heads.

"Y-yew wike Jamie even wen Jamie ish wike dis?" Jamie asked pointing at himself.

Vincent looks down at their conjoined hand as he caressed it softly. "I had no idea why you decided to talk like this but I promise not to judge you on whatever reasons it is, and I find it cute also." Vincent said as he looked up at Jamie with a smile. "Everything about you is cute Jamie."

Jamie blinks his eyes several times trying to stop the tears fighting to come out but he didn't succeed in stoping it as the tears comes flowing freely down his cheek making Jamie freed his hand from Vincent trying to stop himself from crying by wiping his tears.

"Jamie..." Vincent called worriedly.

"Sowwie Jamie ish cwying, Jamie ish nuh sed buh hapi" Jamie replied still wiping his tears.

Vincent sighed as he pulled Jamie back to his lap now, both facing eachother as Jamie hides his face in Vincent's shoulder as the younger pats his back trying to calm him down. "Hey, it's okay."

"Jamie ish alway wike dis" Jamie begins. "Jamie wove bin wike dis" he added.

"Really?"

Jamie nodded, "Weally, Jamie fwel save dis way."

"What else does Jamie likes?"

"Jamie wikes stuffies"

"Stuff animals?"

"Yesh" Jamie replied with a nod.

"Anything else?"

Jamie sat up looking at Vincent for a while before replying, "Jamie wikes paci, sippy, corlorwing, and sweepy" Jamie said counting his fingers as he mentioned them.

"And cuddies too" Jamie added as he giggles.

Jamie realised how overly excited and relaxed he had became in the younger presence as he felt embarrassed about to stand up but the younger wrapped his arms around him preventing him from standing up.

Jamie watched as Vincent stares at him intently before slowly bringing his hand to his face caressing his cheek softly making Jamie found himself leaning into his touch closing his eyes slowly.

"C-can I hug you?" Jamie slowly opens his eyes on realised what he had just said to the younger. "S-sorry, I...."

Jamie trails as he watched the younger opens his arms with a smile . "Come here"

Jamie slowly leans into the younger wrapping his arms around him as he closed his eyes.

"Y-you don't hate me?" Jamie asked slowly after about four minutes of silence between them with both just hugging eachother.

Jamie is now in fully back in his big space as he felt relaxed hugging the younger to himself. He loved this feeling. It's been a very long time he felt this way.

Jamie felt Vincent pat his back softly. "You are safe with me Jamie." Vincent replied as Jamie felt his tears building up again, loosing count of the amount of times he had cried that day.

Jamie raised up his hands wiping his face slowly, "I am sleepy" he said slowly.

"Sleep, I will be here waiting for you." Vincent replied.

Despite what the younger had said and the way he could hear the younger fast heartbeat that prove all this was real, Jamie still in fear that he would wake up and realised all will be a dream held the younger chest tightly trying not to let go.

Vincent seemed not to mind as he pats his back slowly.

Still holding unto Vincent shirt, Jamie slept off softly still hugging the younger tightly.

For the first time in three years, he slept with a relieved heart and  in his big space.
