I
groggily opened my eyes to see a mop of white hair, illuminated by a
full moon outside the window. Nudge.
Huh,
I don't remember falling asleep. Especially not in Nears
bed...
Looking
to the dimly lit alarm clock by the bedside table, I was safe to say
it was around one in the morning. I decided not to get up and
go back to my room. I didn't want to wake the small pale boy that was
curled against me - who knows how much sleep he actually gets - plus,
I knew that once I walked into the empty room with the empty closet
and dresser, I would break down and cry. Which was what I was
fighting to keep myself from doing in that same instant.
Under
the white covers of Nears bed, I allowed my hand to slowly make its
way up to his without a sound. Nears thumb subconsciously overlapped
mine, and I smiled softly at the sleeping boy.
/Yeah...
It'll hurt for a while, but things should be okay.../
"
Nudge.
"I
said fuck off."
Shake.
My
eyes shot open and I jumped up.
"I said,
sto-" my breath hitched in my throat when I saw Near
staring at me, my memory flooding back to me.
"Oh...
right. Sorry about last night, Near." I let my gaze drift out
the window.
"It's okay. You have classes in about an
hour, right?"
Silence.
"Shit!" I jumped up and
headed for the door, stumbling once. "SorryNeargottago!" I
yelled quickly, running out the door, leaving Near to stare blankly
after me.
