Ted wasn’t used to getting so attached. Especially to someone he met only a week ago….but you’d bandaged him up and helped him heal just out of the kindness of your heart. He couldn’t help it - he never wanted to go another day without you.

The two of you had been in a nearby school in this shithell nowhere - the two of you were cuddled up against one another , the ‘excuse’ was the same as the last week - just for warmth , but it was honestly just the fact you two wanted to be near one another.

Ted sighed , waking up in the middle of the night. He was laying in your lap - staring up at you oh so softly. You were as awake as ever so you returned the gaze. He spoke up , his tone soft and weary.

“ …hey.. “

He smiled at you with the cutest expression you’d ever seen..then again…you hadn’t seen many smiles in your life.

“ Can’t sleep? “

Ted asked , his tone holding drowsy amusement. His eyes nothing but adoring as he put his arms around your waist , the teen slowly sitting up.
