I Love You More Than I Could Ever Scream (Andley)

_________________________________

I sigh and shift uncomfortably in my bunk, reading over a magazine I've forgotten the name of. I read over the paragraphs and lines only for my thoughts to drift back to him. No matter how hard I try and get my mind off him, it still drifts off to Andy.

Fuck my brain and it being such a traitor.

I sigh again and toss the magazine to the side, giving up and looking over at the bunk room's door blankly. Nothing's been the same since Andy and I started drifting apart. I thought it was just a simple misconception; that he just needed space and time to cool off, get away from us for a but. But I was so wrong.

He stopped sitting by me, then it escalated to where he stopped being with me, talking to me, hell even being in the same room as me! What did I do wrong to make him so...distant.

I lean my head back against the cold black wall of the bunk, closing my eyes and rubbing at my tired face. Looking back to the door I wonder how long until he comes into the room. I've noticed he won't sleep until he's sure that everyone else has, but I know sometimes I lay awake at night to hear him crying softly.

God, it kills me each time. I just want to go console him, hold him close and let him cry on me until he can't cry anymore. I look over at his empty bunk again for the fourth time, still waiting for the door to open and for him to walk in. I decided something. Tonight will be the night. The night I finally comfort him, tell him how I feel about him.

I, Ashley fuckin Purdy, love Andy. All you 'Andley' fans out there better be fucking keeling over for this, I'm not exactly the most talkative person with my feelings.

Suddenly, the door to the bunk room opens quietly, and Andy rushes in, walking over to my bunk and climbing in. I stare in shock as his electric blue eyes meet my honey brown ones before I find him placing one of his hands on the back of my neck, bringing me close to him. My heart skips a beat once our lips connect, sending electricity through my body, a feeling that everything is right and okay.

I lean into the kiss, pulling Andy close and kissing back. Licking his bottom lip, I can feel his lips curl into a smile and grant me entrance. We explore each others mouths, my hands gently tugging him closer until our chest are practically touching. I pull away from the kiss, seeing a flash of sadness in his eyes as my fingers trace over his lips.

"So what possessed you to kiss me, Outcast?" I question Andy, still tracing my fingers softly over his skin and down his jawline.

"Because I fucking love you Ash, I just haven't had the guts to tell you until now." he whispers, his hand falling open my own as I lean in and bring our lips closer, not connecting them.

"What took you so long?" I feel my lips brush against his own and another jolt of electricity runs through me. I grin for a moment, resting my hand on his shoulder only to feel him shiver at my cold touch.

"The question is, Outlaw, why does it matter?" he looks into my eyes again, as I grasp his chin lightly, pulling his lips to mine again. Our tongues dance together, before mine wins and explores his mouth, the familiar taste of faint cigarettes and whiskey still clinging onto his breath and filling my mouth.

I grip my hands on his hips, him unknowingly grinding his own against mine. His long legs wrap around my waist as I pull him closer, deepening the kiss while feeling my lungs burn for air. A small moan escapes Andy's lips and he blushes wildly at the sound.

We break the kiss, him still a blushing mess. I hold his face to mine when he tries to look away, staring into those cerulean blue eyes and wonder to myself, how can someone even get eyes like that.

"Has anyone ever told you," I pull him into my lap and lean back against the wall of the bunk, holding him close as we both stare at the ceiling, "That I love you more than I can ever scream?"

He chuckles lightly, cuddling into my side and wrapping his arms around my waist. I run my fingers through his hair, earning a soft moan in response as I comb his hair lightly with my fingers.

"I love you Outlaw"

"I love you too, Outcast"
