Nightmares
Seamus had been listening to the other boys of his dorm snore in varying pitches, from Harry's light breathing to the loud snorting noises that Neville was constantly omitting. He frowned. Normally he'd be asleep by now. If he wasn't he was roaming around the school, avoiding Prefects with Dean. But something was wrong. He just couldn't get to sleep and he had this nagging in the back of his mind that he couldn't seem to knock out of his head by force.
He glanced over to Dean's four-poster and he smiled at the sleeping figure. His eyes took in the lean figure half-covered by a thick quilt, his strong jaw line and his soft lips… blushing at himself, he looked away from his friend and down at his own covers. This had to be the most thinking he had to do about anything other than schoolwork and yet the only thing he could think about was Dean. Well, that was alright, he was his friend. Friends think about friends, right? With a quick look at Dean again and a slight tightening of his pajama bottoms he concluded that no, friends don't think about friends. Well.. Not THAT way.
That was why he was so anxious. Ahh, it was all coming together now. It had been coming together for a while as a matter of fact. Every time he was around the artist he felt unexplainably nervous. Soon he could explain it yet he failed to truly come to terms with the fact that he was attracted to his best friend Dean Thomas. But tonight was the night. He needed to be come to terms with it, and better yet, find out if Dean felt the same way.
His bare feet silently met the carpet and he crept over to Dean's bed. For a moment he was still, simply staring down at his sleeping friend. Taking a big gulp of whatever was in his mouth at the moment, he climbed onto the bed trying desperately not to wake Dean even though that's exactly what he intended to do. Odd how your mind plays tricks on you like that. He lied down next to him, sweating a bit, letting a quick gasp escape his lips as his eyes fluttered opened to reveal his lovely eyes.
"Seamus? Wha.. Why aren't you in bed."
Seamus smiled a meek little smile, and said "Nightmares."
