Dillan's POV

I continue to stare at Kane and he lets me.

I hope I can get the dream out of my head before I try to go to sleep tonight. It was light three years ago except this time, I was walking on the sidewalk and Kane was trying to ankle side I was okay, trying to convince me to get in the car and making me laugh as always.

And not paying attention, a car came and slammed into him and I watched him turn towards me, his eyes and face changing to one that used to be so achingly familiar and I had to watch as the car crashed and rolled.

I haven't had a dream in year, my brain usually too muddled in alcohol to have any thought about dreaming.

But I guess after not drinking as much as I used to, the result is me being unable to hide away from the things that have been trying to plague me for years.

Guess that game of hide and seek is over.

"Your eyes change colors."

My attention turns to Kane who i find staring at me, and I realize I just have zoned out for a little and i feel guilt racing towards me as I acknowledge him.

"Change colors?"

"With your emotions. When you're said they look almost blue. When you're happy they're like and olive green. And when you're honey they look like forest green." He tells me and I'm unable to hold back a laugh as his antics, his dark eyebrows wiggling suggestively.

"You're a fucking idiot." I tell him and he shrugs with one shoulder as his lips curve up into a smile.

"But I'm a cute idiot and honestly, isn't that all that matters?" He tries to convince me and ai shake my head no as I laugh at him, even as he rolls his eyes in a playful manner.

"Cute idiots are still idiots." I tell him but he doesn't seem to listen to that type of logic.

"We have to go save the pizza off the door that you rudely discarded yesterday." He tells me in panic, probably thinking about his grass pizza that he pushed aside to get to me last night.

"You discarded it because you were being a whore." I tell him and he snorts at me.

"I'm a virgin. I have to go save the pizza, come on." He tells me, getting up on his knees before he's pulling at me to follow him, but I don't budge, letting him pretend to use his strength.

" I'm too lazy. You'll have to go alone." I tell him and he looks at me with a deadpanned expression before he gets off the bed and settles himself as his feet touch the floor. And just when I think this man is a snane human being a will leave me alone, he comes around to where I'm laying and picks me up, leaving the blanket in bed as he carries me form the room. "I didn't wanna come!" I protest but he ignores me.

"You also said you were lazy so I helped you out." He tries to convince me but I'm not convinced. At all. This is kidnapping and I won't stand for it.

"This is kidnapping and I'm going to run away." I tell him and he shakes his head at me like I'm an idiot.

"It's cute that you think you can get away from me now." He tells me with a wink and I no longer know what to say. Because I can't tell if we're still playing or if he's serious and if he means something completely different. Either way, I chop it up to my overthinking as he throws me on the couch.

"Freedom!" I try to scramble off of the couch to get away from this crazy man but before I can even move an inch, his big ass is sitting on me, keeping me pinned to the couch cushions.

"You're really bad at this whole escaping thing just so you know." He tells me and I glare at him as he shrugs.

✨✨✨

"Can we keep the door open?" I ask him, nervous threatening to come and choke me, grabbing my throat in a vice as I look at the death contraption in front of me.

"We don't have to do this, Dillan. Just because you're ready doesn't mean we have to start today." Kane tries to reason form beside me and I take my hand and place it on his cheeks.

"Shut up." I tell him, giving his cheeks little pat that make him flinch before he narrows his eyes at me.

Taking a deep breath, I hold it as I slowly inch towards the car. I kept the garage door closed this time so I wouldn't freak out with seeing any type of road in front of me. I don't know if it will work though. I let my hand fall and I feel my throat try to close up but I swallow past it, pulling open the door with sweaty hands.

I sit down in the seat and as I let go of the air I'm holding in my chest, I turn to let my legs fall under the steering wheel before making myself sit back against the seat even if I'm a stiff as a board.

With wide eyes I turn towards Kane, tears forming in them and I find him standing there with a wide smile.

"I did it!" I yell, tears of joy streaming down my cheeks and Kane is quick to come and put me up out of his car, spinning me around softly as he shouts out his praise to me, the garage letting it echo.

"Congrats." He tells me before he leans forward and presses a kiss to my lips and I hug him, arms around his neck at all the process I've made since I laid eyes on him.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Look at that guys, our Dillan is making progress. I hope you all are proud of him bc I sure am. I really had a slow day today and I don't like it. I might go to sleep and sleep for a few hours before I get up or I might just keep pushing through it slowly.

Thoughts?
