Sleep: Character A needs to stay at Character B's house for the night.
The room was quiet except for the sound of a page turning every now and then. Most people would be shocked that two teenage boys could sit still for so long without saying anything, but most people don't know these two.
The one on the bed was reading a book with a worn-out spine and dogged-eared pages. The one on the floor was staring at the ceiling, lost in thoughts and new-found memories.
"Jamie, time for bed!" His mother called up the stairs.
"Alright!" He called back to her, though he had no intention of sleeping anytime soon. He looked down at his friend. "Are you going to stay there all night?"
"Thinking about it." He replied without really hearing the question.
"You're welcome to if you like." The younger boy said as he walked out of the room to brush his teeth. He came back a few minutes later to find Jack just as he left him, which was strange indeed. "Are you alright?"
Jack gave him a blank look. "What?"
"You've been spacing for hours. I asked if you were okay."
"Yeah." He nodded slowly. "Just thinking." He sat up to see the brunette better. "Can I stay here? I really don't want to go anywhere or sleep outside tonight."
Jamie gave him a funny look because he had told him the answer before-hand. "Yeah, anytime."
A few hours later the rest of the house had gone to sleep. The only light that could be seen was of the room with the two boys, sitting just as they had been hours ago.
"Jamie?" The question came so softly that Jamie had almost missed the older boy speaking.
"Yes?" He said back in a whisper.
"Thank you."
Jamie smiled down at his brother. "You never even need to ask."
Jack returned the smile gratefully.
A/N Oh I just love them. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
