A talk

**TRIGGER WARNING BRIEF MENTIONS OF RAPE IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO THIS TOPIC PLEASE SCROLL OR WAIT FOR NEXT CHAPTER ** also slight angst so there's that

When I woke up I felt a weight on my stomach I looked down to see a sleeping Camilo his hair was frizzy and all over the place he was tugging on me like a lifeboat his head was resting on my stomach he looked very comfortable if I do say so myself

It was difficult to move when I finally got the courage to move I slightly flipped him I waited till I felt like he was asleep but when I went to get up off the bed his hands wrapped around my neck "don't leave, mi Vida" I froze having not heard that name in years I pushed memories and focused I nodded and laid back down and he occasionally held onto me tightly as if he was scared for me to leave I'd usually look up and saw his room shift a dark red when he held tighter

It was about to be 11 when I heard a knock on the door "come in" I said in a low whisper having a hunch who it was

"that's a surprise he's usually awake by now he rarely gets sleep" "insomnia ?"

"Yeah I've never seen him this peaceful while sleeping"

"he's been knocked out all night only woke up for about a minute before going back to bed and from his walls he has nightmares that's probably why he never sleeps"

"well can you try to wake him up breakfast will be done in about 15 minutes"

"yeah of course I'll wake him up in a second"

"alright just make sure he's up in time Abuela's strict on eating as a family so she doesn't like it if we are late or skip meals"

"Yeah of course I'll see you down there in a bit"
As soon as the door shuts I sit up and give Camilo a little shake to wake him up

"Heyy it's 11 Dolores said breakfast was almost ready I think it's time to get up" he groaned and tried to turn over I grabbed his hands and moved them above his head a bit

"come on cami you need to get up you've been clinging to me all night" he was face up I was over him when I look around his room it started to turn a deep purple

'well that's a new color.....well I'll be damned'
'everything alright Santi ?'
'Amazing'

"s-sorry I didn't know I was holding onto you"
I noticed our current position and quickly got off the bed my face turned to beat red and I started to head near the door

"I'll let you get cleaned up, breakfast will be ready in about 8 minutes" 
"Oh, um alright"

Down at the kitchen
"Hey bro, where is Camilo ??" Anthony looked confused and Antonio was clinging onto his leg

"He slept in late I left the room so he could get ready"

"Camilo? Like Camilo Madrigal ?"

"No shit" I whispered so the little one wouldn't hear he just clung onto Anthony's leg mindlessly

"he never sleeps and when he does he's the first one awake I don't know how he does it," he says as if he wasn't in the same shoes

"so when you had nightmares every night you weren't the first one to be up to make breakfast ?"

"That's different Santi" I felt a creep of anger follow

"It isn't you know first hand how scary those can get. Wait you knew? And you don't even try to help ?"

"Santi you're turning red"

"I look down at my arms and low and behold they're shifting to red" almost perfect timing I hear Antonio run off and yell
