Author's note: Sorry for being so late! I got busier than I expected, but I promise I'll update another, longer one tomorrow to make it up to you all!
Summary: David can't seem to fall asleep.
8/100: Awake
David's POV
It would take only a day, he had said to me. You don't need to go along, it's just a small job and it won't take long.
I glance towards the alarm clock and notice it has already been 42 hours and 21 minutes after he had said those words and had left.
As I stare at the dark ceiling above me, I once again berate myself for not going along, or even at least asking for a more specific place to look for him than 'somewhere along the east coast'.
I shut my eyes in hope sleep will wash over me, but I am wide awake. I blame the several cups of coffee though, not the fact that I might be worrying about him.
Minutes pass by when I suddenly hear the comforting sound of someone Jumping. I close my eyes and a small smile appears on my lips. When I hear a pair of quiet footsteps nearing, I pretend to be asleep. As a pair of arms encircle me seconds later I can't help but relax to his touch, knowing he is back and in one piece. It doesn't take long before I finally sink into a dreamless sleep.
