constant nightmares

"isn't it amazing reki? how we got into the same college as well as the same dorm?"

reki shrugged while unpacking his bags. "well i guess but i think they purposely organized it so people who know each other share a dorm."

"that makes sense" was the last thing said before a big silence with only the noises of bags, clothes, and books.

"wanna go get a coffee after we finish unpacking?" langa asked his new dorm mate.

"mhm sure... but it's almost night and we might lose sleep. tomorrow's our first day you know."

"oh, you're right... let's just unpack everything and go to sleep then."

"yeah..." reki replied in a low voice, close to a whisper.

for some reason reki sounded a bit... uncomfortable? worried? was it because tomorrow's our first day in college? no, i doubt that. then what was it? seemed like langa had got to ask.

"hey, is something wrong?" langa turned around to look him in the face.

after a couple of seconds of reki's "should i tell him?" face, he finally opened his mouth.

"somethings kinda wrong with me... see i always have a stuffed animal for me to cuddle with because otherwise i get nightmares... my mom made the stuffed bear for me and i forgot it home... i've become so attached to it that no other toy actually works... it only works when i cuddle with my mom to sleep."

reki sighed, covering his face a little because he was embarrassed.

but langa didn't laugh a bit. he looked at reki with eyes that showed pure pity.

"do you... think it would work if i cuddled you?"

a slight blush covered the redhead's face. he loved it, how sometimes his friend isn't as dense and gets what he wants to say.

"probably... i mean we could try... right? its totally okay if you're not comfortable with it! i-"

thats when langa cut him off with a tight hug.

"of course not, reki. of course i'm comfortable with it. as long as you feel okay, i'm happy."

see when you say things like that i just fall more for you. stop. i can't take it.

a few minutes later they went to bed. they normally had two single beds but one of them got left unused. now they were sleeping on the same, small bed.

langa, hesitantly, put an arm around him. reki then curled up and aligned his head with langa's chest, laying down without a pillow under his head. he put both his hand in front of him, and scooted closer. langa put the blanket over them and played with reki's hair a little but before they fell asleep.

that night might have been the best ever in their lives. they slept wonderful and warm in each other's arms and reki didn't have any nightmares.

their alarm went off at 6:45. the "you have 30 minutes left to sleep" alarm langa had set.

he quickly turned it off before reki had woken up. then he smiled at the cute boy sleeping. he ruffled reki's hair and kissed his head, hoping that he wasn't actually awake.

reki slowly woke up and opened his eyes.
"is it time to get up?"

"we still have another 25 minutes." he whispered softly.

"mm, okay..." reki said while still half-asleep and closed his eyes once again.

they both couldn't have been happier this early in the morning.
