Harrison and Preston had been up really late watching tv. It was around 1:30 am on Saturday and they were both tired, but didn't wanna go to sleep. They just wanted to stay up with each other. However, Harrison was two seconds away from falling asleep on the couch beside Preston. "You wanna watch a movie or something?" Preston asked. "Sure...I don't care..." Harrison yawned. There was no way he would stay awake through it all of they did watch a movie. Preston went to get up to grab the movie, but was just too exhausted. "What are we doing tomorrow..?" Harrison asked tiredly. "I don't wanna do much of anything.." Preston sighed. Harrison, being shorter, was laying almost on the other male and looked up at him. The two of them had been together since the end of summer at Camp Campbell. At the time they fell in love, they were both 11. Now, they were both 14 and in highschool. They thankfully got all the same classes together. Preston sat up and turned the tv off. He looked down at Harrison, who had fallen asleep. Soon after, he ended up falling asleep too

An hour after falling asleep, Harrison woke up in a cold sweat. He sat up fast and tried to hold himself up with his shaking arms. He looked around the dark room with the only light being the dim one from the tv that had its brightness turned down a bit. He looked next to him and saw Preston still asleep, completely fine. He was tempted to wake him but...he couldn't bother him again. This would be the third night in a row that Harrison's anxiousness woke him up...

Very slowly in an attempt to be quiet and not wake Preston, Harrison laid down and began to fall back asleep. Before he did though, he put his arm on top of Preston thinking that he'd be okay to sleep with that. Although it ended up waking him

"Harrison..? You awake..?"

Harrison rolled over to keep from looking at Preston...Preston sat up and saw how upset Harrison was...he figured out fast what happened, and put a hand on Harrison's shoulder...Harrison looked back at Preston while shaking, then sat up as well...he didn't need to say what happened, Preston did in fact already know...

"You don't have to worry..." Preston said in a surprisingly quiet voice as he put his arm around Harrison. "Whatever happened, it wasn't real.."

Harrison just nodded, then leaned his head on Preston's shoulder as he began to fall back asleep. Preston laid him down then laid beside him again. "I don't wanna sleep...can we just watch tv instead...?" Harrison asked sounding exhausted. "Harrison, I need my beauty sleep. A star like me needs their rest" Preston said back. Harrison couldn't help but laugh at this...the two of them just stared at each other until Harrison started to nod off. He didn't wanna sleep though...everything he'd seen earlier would just flood back into his mind...

Preston could easily tell Harrison was disturbed. He knew he didn't wanna discuss what he say, so he didn't press him about it. "You don't have to worry..." he said. "Just try to sleep..." Harrison nodded then started to fall asleep, and Preston was asleep soon after
