This is in Sothe's point of view. It might have some light hinting at shonen ai. So enjoy.

This wasn't the first time that I woke up to Tormod sleeping in my bed. It happened fairly often. The mage would have nightmares and seek company for the night. He was too proud to go to Muarim, and he didn't want to bother Reyson, so I was the one he went to. That and we were sharing a tent.
The first time was a few months or so ago. He had woken me up, and asked if he could sleep beside me. I just turned over and made some space. He had his own blanket so there was no major problem. This went on from time to time, after a while he just stopped asking. I never made a big deal about it.
Later I noticed how he held my hand. I assumed he just wanted reassurance, or simply know I was there. Until now I never noticed how he would cuddle up beside me, or how he tossed his leg over mine. The way he used me like a big pillow.
I'm sure the only reason I've come to realize this is simly because I have to relieve myself. Shaking his shoulder gently.
" What is it, Sothe? " He doesn't even bother to lift his head. I whispered softly.
" I have to go. "
" Where? "
" I'll be right back. " Shoving him off of me I went outside, to a tree outside. Coming back in I saw him still sitting in my bed. Dusting off my feet before I climbed back in. Crawling over him, slipping back under the thin blankets. He just crept back under and returned to his former position beside me. And for some reason I put my arm around him. It was a really cold night after all.

I don't know why but I had this pairing in my head for most of the week. Anyways, I like the way this turned out. Even if it is a bit short, it's really good for something that kept me up until 3.
Thank you for reading this.
I also don't own any of the characters.
