Age 14: Woken up
I was spending the night at Mitsukuni's house. We were staying there for the weekend. I woke up breathing heavy. I had just had a nightmare, all I could remember was falling and Mitsukuni hit the ground before I did and was already dead. I was sweating and the thunder made me jump a little. Satoshi and I were staying in the guest room. I looked over and he was gone. I remembered he got scared and went to sleep with our parents. I had to check on Mitsukuni just so I could go back to bed.
Thankfully his room was right across the hall. I walked in he was sleeping soundly but, that didn't make me feel better. I walked next to his bed and put my hand on his back to make sure he was still breathing, thankfully he was. I breathed a sigh of relief and started to walk back to my room.
"Mmm…Takashi?" I was nervous; I know how he is when he is woken up from sleeping. I turned around and he was rubbing his eyes. I breathed another sigh of relief seeing him move and breathe. "Why are you awake?"
"No reason just go back to sleep." I turned around to leave.
"Did the storm scare you?" I could hear the concern in his voice
"No."
"Did you have a bad dream?" He asked me. Even if I said no he knew I did.
I sighed. "Yes."
"Do you want to sleep in my bed with me?" He asked. I just stood there frozen; I didn't know what to say. Why is he acting so normal? He's usually the devil as he's woken up. I'm still waiting for a bomb to go off. "Please stay here so I can chase the bad dreams away."
Well I couldn't say no to that. So he and I shared a bed that night. We were right next to each other. His hand was holding my arm and his head was on my shoulder. I could hear his breathing and see his chest rise and fall. That made me feel better.
"Takashi? What was your bad dream about?" He asked as he was drifting off to sleep.
"I don't remember anymore."
"That's okay it's over now." He said to me.
"Yeah it is over." He was now fast asleep. "Everything is okay now." Now I realize, he cares about me so much he didn't even act cranky all he wanted was for me to be okay.
