"You're back early," I mumble when Vic comes back. He smiles and shuts the door with his heel. He hugs me and kisses the top of my head. 

"I couldn't wait to see you," he smiles. 

"You cheesy fuck," I roll my eyes. He laughs and picks me up bridal style and sits down on the couch, placing me on his lap. 

"How the fuck do you do that with so much ease? Isn't your job to literally sit in a chair and save people's lives?" I ask, giving him a look. I wrap my arms around him and press my face into his chest. 

"Yeah... That's my job. But it's called a gym." 

I sit up. "Hey, don't mock me. It's not like I couldn't beat you in a fist fight." 

"I could beat you blindfolded- and with no hands," he shoots back. 

"Oh yeah?" I stand up. "Try me." 

He raises an eyebrow. "Kellin, I don't want to hurt you." 

"You won't get the cha-" I yelp and he throws me over his shoulder and lays me on the couch. 

He straddles my hips and smiles down at me. "Well would ya look at that," he speaks. I roll my eyes. 

Suddenly I'm aware of how close we are. Well fuck. 

I blink and yelp again. He gives me a panicked look. "Ow- Vic stop ow ah-" I groan. He jumps up and stares at me. I wince and grab my ankle. Secretly laughing in my head. "I uh- I landed on it weird yesterday and ah fuck-" I mumble. 

"Kellin- oh shit, I'm sorry. I can get you-" 

I grab his wrist and yanks his down, rolling off the couch quickly so he doesn't end up on top of me. I laugh and smile down at him. "Well, would ya look at that." 

He groans and gives me a look. "Kellin, you little fucker. I thought I had hurt you- Jesus." He grabs my arm and lays me on top of him. He wraps his arms around me. 

"Vic- what the fuck is going on?" I laugh. "I'm not saying that I don't like this but I-"

"Yeah, this is kinda awkward," he agrees and lets me go. I stand up and he sits up. 

"So... Movie?" I ask. He smiles and nods. 

~~~

Halfway into the movie (we ended up watching The Princess Bride) Vic gets up. "I'll be right back," he smiles.

"Where are you going?" I laugh. He shrugs and walks off. 

I shrug and stare back at the screen when a phone goes off. I look around and see Vic's phone on the couch. 

"Hey, your phone-" I pause and stare at the number. I hit answer. 

"Hey, so, Tony found something interesting on Bostwick," the voice starts. My breath hitches. "Basically, the kid you're with, yeah. Bostwick might have sent people, but we're not entirely sure yet. Keep Kellin safe, okay? Call me if you need anything." 

The voice stops. "Vic? Hello?" 

"Kellin?" Vic stares at me. 

I hang up the phone and stand up. "Who's Tony, and why is he talking about my-" I stop when Vic rushes forward and grabs the phone out of my hand. 

"Why would you answer the call?" he mutters. "Why would you even pick up my phone?" He raises his voice. 

"Well, maybe if you actually answered me when I was calling you over to answer. But I'm glad you didn't. Explain why you're talking about him and protecting me." 

"Kellin, stop I-"

I clench my fists. "If you aren't going to explain, I'm leaving." 

"Kellin, I can't tell you. I really can't but you have to-"

"What? Trust you?" I laugh viciously. "What are you protecting me from. And what does he have anything to do with it?" 

"Kellin-"

"You know what?" I let out a harsh laugh. "Fuck you." I spit and walk towards the door. 

He grabs my wrist. "Kellin, please-"

"Don't touch me," I slap him away and step out the door. 

A/N 

I probably prewrote this like two months ago, and I just realized how much of a dick Kellin is in these chapters. Oh well.
