Fever Dream /Schlattbur\

2: What am I Thinking Right Now?

(Teenage Heartbreak Queen, Palaye Royale)

Schlatt was the first to wake up. Once his eyes opened and adjusted to the evening light, he realized there was someone on top of him. Wilbur. Why the fuck was Wilbur laying on top of him? Whatever, he needs his sleep so he left him there and got onto his phone. He was blinded by the fucking brightness on this thing, I mean it felt like he was ascending at that very moment.

5:36 P.M.

Ok, a little later than he expected, but it's still fine, that's gotta be the most sleep he's gotten for a couple years. His mom usually comes home around 7 so they have about an hour of doing god knows what. (Looks like Wilbur is going to sleep)

But, god, he looks so peaceful. And a little cute to be honest. He doesn't have that stressed face that he always has, must be terrible to always worry about what your parents think.

He waits.

1 minute

2 minutes

3 minutes

"Okay, that's enough sleep! Get up fuckhead!" Schlatt pushes Wilbur off him, the now half-asleep body falling onto the wooden floor.

The boy just made a half hum and half groan and went back to sleep on the floor. What the fuck. Whatever, Schlatt was pretty hungry so the man would just have to starve. (He would never let Wilbur starve but also missing ONE meal won't really affect you, just probably make you hungry, which you probably already knew that so I don't know why author is saying this.)

Jschlatt walked downstairs and made himself a ham and cheese sandwich. 10/10 meal in his opinion, he's had it so many times that it's just a luxury at this point.

The sound of footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs and the faint calling of Schlatt's name.

"You should've woken up, I'm not making you anything now."

"What! That's dumb!"

"Maybe you should wonder why you woke up on the floor of my bedroom then."

"Okay then, I'll think about while you make me pancakes." 

Will put on a smug smile like he just won his ex girlfriend back right after making out with her boyfriend. (Very specific, I'm making the song based off this now)

But, yeah, how could Schlatt say no to some weird smile like that. So he ended up making Wilbur pancakes and soon after the two were on the couch, eating pancakes and watching the Disney movie, Chicken Little.

"I'm home Schlatt!"

"Oh shit, I forgot to text her."

Schlatt get's off the couch and walks to the front door where his mother was. She is shorter than Schlatt, which is very surprising to Wilbur, and she has long wavy hair like Schlatt's.

"Why is Disney playing? You never watch that."

"Oh, I have a friend over, and he just HAD to watch it. You know Wilbur right?"

"That one tall smart guy that never sleeps? Yeah, what do you mean do i know him, you always talk about him."

"You do what?" Wilbur asks through the house. (Schlatt's getting laughed at later)

"Nothing!" He yells back, oh he wish he never mentioned him that one time.

"Bye mom, he's staying the night by the way. And yes, school was good."

Schlatt runs into the living room, his face not red at all, and grabs Wilbur's hand to pull him back up the stairs. Wilbur had just finished his pancakes and was protesting all the way up about the trash he just left for Schlatt's mom to pick up. 

"What the hell!" Wilbur protested, and ripped his hand out of of Schlatt's grip

"Your trash will be picked up tomorrow. Don't worry."

".......okay, you don't like get hit for that?"

"No, and I'm also glad your away from that house." Schlatt laughs, terribly relieved that his best friend is finally safe from whatever happened at his own house.

The two sit down on the bed, hand coming together without any thought behind it. Schlatt wouldn't be lying if he said that he didn't want to kiss Wilbur right now, but he also knows that he's been through a tough time, so he decides against it. 

Wilbur's head is spiraling. Did Schlatt notice that their hands were together? Did he not think it was gross? Why is he worrying about it now, they were doing this last night? Is it because Schlatt's mom was home? They couldn't stop, they just kept coming

and coming

and coming

But Schlatt was there, just tell him what your feeling Wilbur! No, he can't, men have to be strong about stuff like this. He'll just kick him out or shame him for thinking so much into something like this.

The sun had started to set. Wilbur's mind started to clear. The florescent lighting of the blues mixed in with the reds and oranges really worked well together. It was almost as beautiful as the person sitting beside him. Almost.

"Johnathan?"

Schlatt almost seemed shocked

"Yes?"

"What am I thinking right now?"

"How the fuck would I know?" Schlatt laughed

Wilbur looked down to their interlocked hands and looked back to the sunset. The colors were almost gone, now being replaced with a dark blue, almost black color littered with stars.

"No, your right. Did you ever look at the sunset?" 

"No, I was looking at something more beautiful."

"Yeah? What was it?"

Schlatt didn't know if Wilbur knew if he was talking about him, but he was. And he was never gonna admit it because that would just turn into something bad. But there was something inside of him, it was like a strong force of gravity pulling him to the right answer, it was bringing him to just say it.

"You."

"Really?"

"What do you mean 'really?', what else is more beautiful than a sunset? Anyways, what do you want to do tonight?"

Both of the teenagers decided to drop it, Wilbur feeling that same feeling of panic from before and Schlatt trying to calm the rapid beathing of his heart, it was beating so fast that anybody could just HEAR it. (it's a metaphor)

"Can we sleep?"

"...........bro. You just slept for 12 fucking hours! What do you mean 'can we sleep'?"

"What? I wanted to go to school tomorrow! I would rather not sleep all day."

"Your really boring you know that? I guess you can sleep, I'll just sit there and watch you or something."

"I don't really care at this point, now come and pretty please hug me so I can fall asleep." Wilbur makes grabby hands that NO ONE could resist, so that means that Schlatt could never say no.

And now Schlatt is stuck holding a sleeping Wilbur through the night, he did get a few hours in before the dreadful day of school ahead.
