"You've got me," I sing lightly, "I breathe while looking at you. I've got you. Inside those pitch black nights."

Minho's sleepy eyes flicker up toward me. I send him a smile, and he returns it easily. I run my fingers through his hair, making it messy. I was trying to put him to sleep. He was tired, I wasn't really. I, honestly, just wanted to take care of him.

His grasp of my torso tightens ever so slightly. His adjusts his position a bit, his head that rested on my stomach rubbing against my shirt. I relax against the wall.

"I love your voice. Your duality between rapping and singing is incredible."

"Thank you. Give me a song request."

"With You, The Rose. You know it?"

"I listen to The Rose all the time. Their songs help me sleep at night. Now hush. Close your eyes."

I brought a hand down next to his face. Using my middle finger, I lightly brush down the bridge of his nose. His eyelashes flutter a bit.

"I kept blankly staring at you," I begin, trying my best to remember the lyrics. "Just standing there, in case you disappear.

"I wanted to go closer to you. So I wanted to move. But when I see how you're fast asleep, another day just passes.

"Even when the thick darkness covers me, your warm smile embraces me. Now you're there at the end of my days. So I'm slowly going to you.

"After I carefully told you, you smiled as if you couldn't help it. My heart was floating like the clouds, and a single ray of a smile entered.

"Hold me, even when the thick darkness covers me. Your warm smile embraces me. Now you're there at the end of my days. So I'm slowly going to you.

"With you."

I gaze down at Minho's calm expression. He looked so... not stressed when he was sleeping. He was peaceful, full of nice dreams.

His cheekbones shined in the dim light that peeked through my curtains. His soft, honey skin was so pretty. I love him so much. I was so in love with him. I couldn't understand how I got so lucky to capture his attention. It seemed like forever ago that we were just barely friends in math class. A lot changes in a year. Oh, god, it's almost been a year. Just a few more months.

That thought brings me back to something he had done. When I mentioned that school was ending soon, he freaked out. Not actually, but something was definitely wrong. I asked and he said it was nothing. He lied. I know that kind of facial expression. It couldn't have been nothing.

I'll leave it alone for now. I just want to enjoy my time with him, even if he's unconscious. It was nice to be able to protect him for once. I hated being the so-called damsel in distress.

Once my eyes began to droop, I knew I needed to lay down or else I'd regret it. It was already quite late when he came over, but now it was pitch black.

I lifted his head gently, it being complete dead weight. Shit, he has a heavy head. Hurriedly, I used my legs to scoot down far enough that my head was on my pillow. I laid his head back down, this time it was on my chest, almost on my shoulder.

I reach down and place his arm back on my stomach, it having dropped further near my crotch. Boy, that'd be awkward to explain.

Now, time to join my boyfriend in sleep.
