George's small feet tip-toed across the floor, crossing over to John's bed. He felt like a child, but he had to talk to someone about it, and John was the only one who might have still been awake.
He gently shook his shoulder. "John?"
"Mm." John mumbled something and rolled over, unwilling to wake up fully.
George shook his shoulder again, a little harder. "John!"
John's arm reached up, and he gently swatted his face, telling him to go away.
Frustrated, George shoved him. John finally sat up, blinking at him in the dark. "Damn it, George, why are you waking me up now?"
George looked down, suddenly feeling awkward. "I...I had a bad dream."
John's eyes narrowed in irritation, but a soft smile at the hint of that childish endearment tugged at his lips. "What about?"
"Um....well..." George looked at him, his eyes half hidden under his dark hair. John's heart skipped a small beat. "Not really a bad dream...."
John sighed, running his hand through his sandy hair. Cute could only go so far. "Then why are you waking me up from my dreams?"
George's long eyebrows pulled together, and John immediately regretted the snub. He shifted a bit closer and rubbed his shoulder. "Never mind. What's on your mind, mate?"
George blushed, looking down. "Um...I'm scared of the dark."
John blinked, then his mocking smile lit his face. "That's it?"
George looked at him, his face blank. "Isn't that enough?"
John's eyes drifted to the ceiling. "Well, what do you expect me to do about it?"
George looked at his own bed. So inviting, so comfortable....but too far away. What happened if something came in? "I don't know...I'm sorry I bothered you," he muttered, defeated. He stood up, bracing himself.
John sighed and said quietly, "Why...why don't you just sleep with me tonight?"
George turned back to him and raised an eyebrow. A grin cracked his lips. "Sleep with you?"
"Oh, you know what I meant, you git." John scoffed. He moved over, making enough room for the skinny man to slide in beside him. George flopped onto the bed awkwardly.
John reached forward and flicked the light switch off, delving them both into darkness.
Look at that. First chapter and they're already in bed ;P Stay tuned!
