Josh and Mike lay under the covers in their room staring at the ceiling, the lights were off and silence consumed the house.

Everyone else had gone up to their rooms to either try and sleep for just to relax. Mike didn't want to sleep even though he felt so exhausted he felt too scared to close his eyes one being because he worries in case Josh starts wondering around while he's asleep. And because he's scared...every time he closes his eyes he has visions, visions that take him back to what happened, to when multiple Wendigos tried to attack him and when everyone stood in fear in the lodge.

"Can't sleep?" Asked Josh breaking the silence.

"No...I just...I just keep thinking about what happened...every time I close my fucking eyes I see it...the Wendigos and I don't tell anyone this but I was so fucking scared, it's always going to be on my mind...there's times were I just want to curl up and cry but I can't...I need to be strong for you for everyone else" explained Mike.

Josh turned to his side to he was now facing Mike. "I know how you feel...when Hannah and Beth disappeared...that night kept overplaying in my mind there was times I wanted to cry when I wanted the world to crumble around me but I had to put on a smile in front of everyone and act like I was ok but the truth is I'm a fucking mess Mike" he muttered.

It was silent...they both lay in silence but it felt comfortable. Mike turned to finally face Josh, his eyes sparkled in the dark room as they locked with his. Mike reached his hand out and gently caressed his cheek. "Maybe we should get some sleep" suggested Mike.

"Y-yeah" whispered Josh as he shuffled closer, resting his head on Mike's chest as he closed his eyes. Josh let out a soft hum as he nuzzled his face against his chest trying to get more comfortable. It felt like hours before Mike could feel Josh heavy against him as he fell asleep.

He looked to see Josh soundly fast asleep. He smiled at the adorable sight before he felt himself begin to relax into the bed as he felt himself begin to drift off to sleep.

...

Mike's eyes shot open as he gasped for air. His throat felt parched and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He turned to looked to see Josh asleep on the opposite side of the bed, snuggled up against his pillow.

Mike slowly breathed out closing his eyes again before opening them. 'Just a bad fucking dream' he thought to himself.

He looked back at Josh before burying himself under the covers and shuffling himself closer to Josh. He rested his head against Josh's chest and wrapped his arms around his waist.

He felt Josh begin to stir from his sleep "mmmmn Mike?" He groaned confused as he looked to see Mike's head resting on his chest. "I um...I had a bad dream s-sorry" he muttered trying to pull away but Josh pulled him back to him.

"Don't be I just didn't think mr class president Mike Munroe could be such a little spoon" chuckled Josh in a teasing tone kissing the top of his head.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Asked Josh.

Mike shrugged his shoulders as he felt his chest become heavy as he took a deep breath in. "I-I'm fine" he muttered.

Josh nodded his head but he doubted that Mike was ok to be honest he's been getting close to tears over the day.

Mike tightened his grip on Josh as he felt his lip begin to quiver and his eyes well up. He tried breathing in and out but it came out in a whimper. He buried his head against Josh's chest as his built up emotions escaped from his locked box of feelings he now had no way of stopping as he sobbed into Josh's chest.

"Hey what's wrong?" Asked Josh in a whisper as he sat up bringing Mike up with him. Mike shuffled away, drawing his knees close to him as he covered his face with his hands. "I'm done Josh! I'm done trying to act like I'm ok and that I'm not scared, but the truth is I'm so fucking scared Josh! This will never leave my mind! This will never go away..."

Josh pulled Mike's hands away from me "Michael listen to me!" He called out forcing Mike to look up at him.

"We all feel the same we all feel like this will never get better and that we will never get over this...I mean that may be the case I don't know how but maybe life will get easier...I mean you're kind of the only person who has really stood by me after what happened a couple of days ago and without you I don't think I'd be alive which is why I need you more than anything" explained Josh. Mike looked up at Josh he looked upset and small trickles of tears fell down his cheeks.

"I-I'm sorry" groaned Mike. Josh shook his head pulling Mike close to him "d-don't be...we all feel like this, it's not just you".

Mike closed his eyes gently breathing in and out as he finally felt himself begin to calm down. This is probably the first time he had ever had an emotional breakdown in front of anyone especially one of his friends. "You ok now?" Asked Josh.

Mike nodded his head "y-yeah I'm ok now" he muttered.

To be honest he felt a lot better finally getting his emotions and thoughts out. Mike pulled away from Josh looking into his eyes in the dark room before he leaned forward, lips touching Josh's.

Once he pulled away he pulled Josh into his lap before resting his head on his. "Maybe we should leave sleeping tonight" suggested Mike.

"Sounds like a plan" responded Josh before they lay back down on the bed.

They spent the rest of the night talking, Mainly about the good times the group have had together. And funny stories mainly involving Chris embarrassing himself somehow mainly him failing in some way to get Ashley's attention.

Hours had past before Mike could feel himself drift off to sleep as he became tired from exhaustion of crying and not getting a good night rest for a long time. Josh had already fallen asleep, head resting on the pillow next to him, his hands bunched close to his face resting on the pillow and the sound of him gently breathing in and out.

Mike smiled before he pulled Josh close to him, gently kissing the top of his head before he felt himself begin to drift off to sleep.
