"I'm not tired though

"I'm not tired though." I whine.

"Didn't ask, come on, get up and get ready for bed." Ashton claps his hands rushing me.

Nathaniel gets up from the bed and helps me up. "I should get going as well."

"What? No!" I yell.

"Red, he has an apartment, remember?" Colby smirks from the couch.

"So?" I turn to Nathaniel. "We should all stick together!"

"What about my stuff back at my place?" He asks, tilting his head to the side.

'He's amused.'

'I see that.'

"We'll figure it out tomorrow. Come on. Stay. Please?" I beg.

Nathaniel looks over at Colby.

Colby smiles and shrugs. "I think we should stick together," he looks over at Ash next to him. "What do you think?"

Ash shrugs. "I say stay. Free living space. I don't pay for anything."

"Because you're broke." Colby answers.

"Will Nate have to pay for anything if he stays here?" Questions Ash.

Colby blinks. "No-"

"Then I say stay!" Ash smiles at Nathaniel.

I turn back to look at him and I find him already looking down at me. "Alright I'll stay." He whispers.

I clap my hands together. "Perfect. I'll be getting ready for bed then."

After we all use the bathroom and get ready to sleep, I go give everyone a goodnight hug.

"Nathaniel, you can share the bed with Red." Colby says while tucking himself under the blanket on the couch.

Nathaniel flushes. "W-wait why?"

'Why not?' Celeste asks.

"Why not?" Colby, Ash and I say at the same time.

"Nate, you're the tallest and Red is the shortest. This couch is small, and Ashton has muscles that take up the whole bed. It just makes sense."

Nathaniel and Colby stare at each other for a bit. "I know what you're doing." He mutters.

"What was that?" Colby asks.

"Nothing." He answers quickly. He makes his way over to me and rests his hand on my back leading me away. "Let's go to sleep, love."

"Goodnight, guys!" I yell.

"Goodnight, Scar."

"Goodnight, Red."

I get under the covers with Nathaniel. He's so stiff.

"Why are you so stiff?" I ask.

He looks over at me and back to the ceiling. "Just nervous. I'm next to a beautiful woman, what do you expect?"
