IRL

─ ⊹ ⊱ ☆ ⊰ ⊹ ─

Two hours after they started unpacking Sophia's bags, Chris was laying down on a mountain of  her clothes, while Sophia was putting her clothes on the hanger of the room that was once Justin's.

Chris suddenly sat up, a weird look on his face. "Why are we unpacking if we're going to have to pack everything up again in three days" He spoke out loud.

Sophia's head snapped over from where she was standing, and she looked at Chris with her eyes almost popping out of her eyeballs. "You're so right" she breathed out.

She kept looking at Chris waiting in for a reaction and then he suddenly breaks down laughing. He kicks his feet and rubs his eyes. It was the cutest thing Sophia had ever seen, which made her want to laugh along with him. And so she did.

They were both laughing a lot, and Chris was trying to get some words out. "You should've seen your face Sophia" He breathed out while still laughing his ass off.

Sophia threw her arms up. "Yeah, I'm doing all of this for absolutely nothing, it's going to take twice as much work to put everything back in" She said while placing her palm on her forehead.

"It's okay. I'll help you" Chris said, but now he wasn't laughing. He was looking at her with a soft smile and a ever telling look in his eyes. But he didn't seem to notice.

"Thank you" Sophia whispered, her cheeks burning read. She looked at the floor to avoid that strong look he was putting on her.

She was so confused, why was she blushing? He hadn't said anything special. He only told her he'd help her pack her goddamn clothes, it's not as if he just told her he had a crush on her or something.

Chris stood up, and made his way over to her. He shrugged some clothes off of him, and slowly glided towards her. Once he reached her he put both his hands on her cheeks, rubbing his thumbs over her soft skin.

He looked deep into her eyes. " You can always count on me Sophie, for anything. You know that I'll drop everything, if you ever need me, you know that right?" He whispered.

His breath hit her face, and when she looked back into his baby blue eyes, she realized something that could only be confirmed by the way her stomach kept doing weird flips. Sophia had a crush on Chris.

Hopefully it wouldn't be anything major, and she'll get over him soon enough.

She simply nodded because she couldn't get any words out and she was pulled into a hug, a hug she'd had only experienced once before, but could already tell, that felt like home. She felt safe, she felt appreciated.

"I'm so so glad you're here" he whispered and pulled back. His hands lingering on her waist, and his eyes on her face.

He walked back to bed and took his phone out of his pocket, looking back at Sophia. "Wanna watch something together?, I really want to show you this series I recently found." He outed with a smile, while extending his hand for her to take.

She firmly pressed her hand into his, and he led her to his room. They layed down on his bed, and Chris immediately started talking about this TV show he'd recently found, and how much he hoped to watch it with her.

He closed the blinds, turned off the lights, and on the way back to bed he took his laptop, and gave it to Sophia. "Unlock it while I go get some popcorn and snack, password is pepsilover" He giggled as he went down the stairs. She smiled at his back once he was out of the door, a haunting feeling at the back of her mind.

Maybe this was not just something temporary.

As Chris walked into the kitchen, he immediately started rummaging through the cupboards trying to find a plate for him to put the bag of popcorn in.

"Chris" Matt and Nick called out at the same time. Making him jump up and hit his head on the cupboard door. He rubbed it intensely.

"God are you trying to kill me, fuck" He said as he grimaced, feeling his head throbbing. Matt was covering his mouth, trying to hide the fact that he was laughing, while Nick was just straight up laughing his ass off.

Chris rolled his eyes. Of course his brother would laugh at his misery. "It's okay to laugh Matt" He said, and Matt finally gave in also laughing. And before Chris knew it he was laughing with them.

This was what family was all about.

Once Nick stopped, his tone became serious again. "Stop laughing, we have more important things to talk about." Nick said, his face straight.

Matt nodded along with his words. "But-" Chris tried to defend himself and was brutally interrupted by Matt. Chris hated being interrupted. So he shot daggers at Matt.

"Do you like Sophia" Matt spoke up, and suddenly the bump on Chris' head didn't have an ounce of his attention anymore. It all flew to the question his brother had just outed.

"Straight to the point, exactly my way" Nick said high fiving Matt, Matt smiled and Nick, but Nick was already turned back to Chris, his arms crossed. This was serious.

Chris laughed again, thinking that this was some kind of joke. "What?, of course not" Chris said, starting to sweat under the heated and angry glances he was clearly getting from Nick.

"Are you sure?" Matt said and at the same time Nick yelled "Are you fucking stupid?" but before Chris could say anything else, Sophia came down the stairs.

"Is everything okay? I heard Nick yell?" She softly said, and Chris could swear even her voice while speaking was magical. Chris immediately walked over to her.

"No, everything's fine Soph, go back to bed, I'll be there soon, I was just about to put the popcorn into the microwave, before these two dumbasses interrupted me" He said while running his hand up and down her arm.

"Yeah, well Chris was trying to take the popcorn out of the bag, and we were telling him that that's not the way to do it" Nick told Sophia, and Chris rolled his eyes. He reminded himself to thank Nick later for making him look stupid infront of Sophia.

Sophia simply giggled, before looking at Chris and shaking her head with a small smile on her face, and starting to go up the stairs. And while she was doing so, Chris found himself looking at her, a smile always plastered on his lips, even when she wasn't looking back.

His gaze was blocked by Nick, who put his hand infront of Chris' face, while cleaning his throat.

"This is exactly what I'm talking about Chris." Nick said, while he watched Chris slap his hand off his eyes and go over to the microwave, put the bag in and press the timer.

"What do you want from me Nick, she's my friend, I like her, but only as a friend" Chris said while shrugging his shoulders and tapping his foot. The sound of the popcorn popping filled the room.

Nick rolled his eyes, and wanted to start yelling at him but luckily for Chris, Matt took over. "We don't want anything from you, but we can see clear as day that you like her maybe a little more than a friend. We're not saying that you're in love with her or something, but maybe you feel some kind of spark. It's all in the eyes, Chris, the way you were just looking at her" Matt gestured to the stairs with his arm. "Even when she wasn't looking back at you"

Chris honestly thought about it. Did he like Sophia a little more than a friend? He kept thinking about all the lost nights of sleep, he spent with her on facetime. Everytime he found himself smiling at her, unconsciously, which was unsurprisingly A LOT.

"But if you say you don't, we won't talk about this anymore." Matt said and put both his hands up. Nick wanted to disagree but he kept his mouth shut.

Chris couldn't like Sophia, he didn't even know her, he met her today, it's not like he could ever form feelings for someone he just met.

"You're wrong" Chris said. "I barley know her, I couldn't even like her yet" He said as he heard the microwave beep, indicating that the popcorn was now done. He took it out of the bag.

"Yet" Matt said smiling at Chris, crossing his arms.

"What?" Chris asked, while turning around, bowl in his hand, ready to go rejoin Sophia and watch that damn TV show.

"You said yet, which means there's a possibility" Matt said knowingly, and this time it was Nick nodding along to this idea. Both of them were so delusional, was all Chris was thinking.

"Yeah, I guess" Chris said, just so that they could finish the conversation then and there. He shrugged his shoulders and went back to his room.

"I'm back" He said while slowly, opening the door and stepping into his bedroom. He saw Sophia laying there in a oversized hoodie, hair in a ponytail, and he still thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

He got back into bed and searched for the series he wanted to watch. Once he found it he clicked play, and slowly slid over, closer to Sophia. His arm went around her, and was now resting on her shoulder and her head soon found its spot on his shoulder.

And so they watched almost all of the TV show before falling asleep.
