Once again, you came home, but from work this time, it was absolutely horrible
"Thanks god I am glad today is over" you threw your bag down into a corner and threw yourself onto the desk chair,
"I should get changed.." something caught your eye, it made you laugh, drawings of the god you met in your dreams, it weren't many drawings, but they still ment a lot.
A troubled sigh escaped your mouth, "I wonder if he's still there..I haven't seen him in some time."
Studying the drawings..it made you think, it had been a few months since you had seen this god, was he gone?
"I can't hang on it, it shouldn't be my concern, he is a god and probably has his duties." And so you stood up from your chair, went to get your pajama's and headed out your room, you looked back once more, specifically to the window..nothing happend, "someday.." and so you had left.
Around 30 minutes later you had gotten ready for bed, your work clothes were in the washing machine, and you were all clean!
"That is so much better.." heading back to your room you realized something was different, from underneath your door came a odd glow, "what the..?" Carefully you opened the door, your whole room was transformed..everything seemed so surreal, "what is going on.." entering your room..the door disappeared, though it didn't bother you that much,
"That humming..is it.." you walked futher into the room, the floor was covered in clouds, and everything seemed like a sunrise, and can't forget to mention that all the furniture seemed to be floating a bit, ur whole room had been transformed.
"Come take a seat my friend!" It was him, that god, the lonely one had visited your room.
"Did..you do all of this?" He grinned and looked up at you "maybe."
He proceeded to get up and move away from your bed, now taking place in ur chair, holding a cup of..what was it? Tea or coffee, perhaps even chocolate milk.
"Honeymilk, i am drinking honeymilk, you should try it someday!"
Did he just read your thoughts? "Oh, it sounds great! But..why come here, and why have you been gone for so long?"

"ah.." he begun "outside of this whole MAGICAL act.." the man said dramatically "I..have another life." his tone sounded different from the cheery, welcoming one he normally had, he had changed, and so had you.
"Oh? do you..like rule some magical realm?" this had always been a question, for a fact you had many questions about him, like who he was, where he came from, and what he had ment with 'my name is lost to history!'.
or something along those lines.
"A magical realm?" A laugh escaped him, it almost sounded echoeing "you sure have alot of fantasy..but no, I don't have a magical realm."
This confused you, him.. an literal god and did not have any sort of magical realm? 
"then..what did you mean with another life..like y'know.. a completely different person?".
His gaze focused on you before looking away "Pretty much, here I am a god of some sort, but outside of this? I am just a person, your average civilian!"
him? an average civilian?

It was almost like he sensed your confusion, and right when you were about to ask him more, he interrupted you, and asked "Would you like a drink? or perhaps a snack.. you seem to have had a long day."
He was correct, you did have a long day "yeah, sure I guess..?". 
the man probably didn't wanna talk about his life, or atleast he made no intention to, so you decided not to pry futher, perhaps he had something to hide or didn't like it.
"Here, a cup of Chamomile tea, I heard it help with sleeping.." he turned to you and gave you a cup, "I noticed I interupted you, had I not?" a chuckle escaped the man, you barely knew him, yet he felt like someone you could trust. 
"Ah..kinda, but it's alright," you took the cup from his hands, it wasn't to hot or to cold.. "I am just glad to see you are here, alive and well" you whispered that last part and took a small sip from your tea, you admit, you had been concerned about this stranger.. the way he behaved and acted was just..nice, it was a good change for once, most of the time you had felt nervous to talk to strangers, but despite him being a stranger it felt..easier, the way you two spoke just flowed more smoothly, you didn't have to worry about being emberrassing, seeing as he made it a small joke about it and did something emberrassing in return, or so you though.
"Don't think to hard before sleep, you might think to much and have trouble falling asleep." he had broken you chain of thoughts and stood up "you finished ur cup?"
You looked at ur cup and surprisingly you had already finished it, funny how you do things without noticing when ur thinking.

"Yeah, I did." just as you were about to give the cup to him, it vanished from ur hand and appeared in his, you chuckled at this small action and laid in bed "I assume this is goodbye again?"
he looked at you with a gentle smile, "for now, but do not worry, I'll return to you, even if years pass."
you returned the smile, closing your eyes once again.
and gone, just like that, as if nothing happend, ur room went from a surreal fantasy like place to the plain ordinary looking room.
but that was okay, the taste of the tea still hanging in ur mouth, you hadn't dream it and he was still there, just occupied like you thought.
finally, exhaustion caught up and you turned around in ur bed, facing a wall with pictures and decorations.
but something stood out, a picture wich hadn't been there before.
it was a picture, of him standing infront of the chair holding the cup of tea, and at the bottom it said: "I'll return!" in some fancy style, it made you laugh, but that laugh didn't last long as you has closed your eyes and mumbled "Goodnight.." then drifted off to sleep.

"Goodnight, my dear." a whisper echoed throught the room.
