-Pledges-

-Trott's POV-

When we arrive at Lewis', he directs me upstairs into his room.

"You can stay in here." Lewis says

"Thank you." I smile.

He leaves. I pull of my clothes and climb into the bed.

I wrap the blankets around me.

I fall asleep.

-Some time around the am time-

"Trott?" Someone whispers.

I murmur and roll over.

"Trott?" They whisper again.

I open my eyes, slowly.

I push myself away when I see the person laying there.

"Jesus Christ." I mutter, climbing back on the bed.

Smith watches me as I climb back into bed.

I awkwardly lay beside him as he stares at me.

Trott, tell him.

"I love you." I say, staring at the ceiling.

"You do?" Smith asks.

"Certainly." I say.

"But I screwed up." He says.

"I can't disagree but god I love you."  I say, turning on my side, facing him.

"I love you too." He whispers, "just I told you I'll protect you and I need to do that.

He kisses me then lays beside me.

I rest my head on his chest and wrap my arms around him.

"Stay with me forever Alex? Or as long as you can." I ask.

Alex turns to face me, "as long as I can, which hopefully is forever."

He kisses me then rests his head against mine.

"But we have to make that a promise, something we won't break." He adds.

"I, Christ Trott, will always adore le Alex Smith with an extreme element of desire. I promise. If anything is wrong, I pledge to fix it myself and to remain honest." I say loudly, crossing my fingers.

"I, Alex Smith, will always love the only Chris Trott in my life with a burning element of desire. I promise. If you're scared, alone, unprotected, I'll be there, my duty is to care for the people I love and I shall." Alex says loudly, crossing his fingers loudly.

He pulls me into his arms and kisses my head.

The Element Of Desire.
