Chaelisa/Jensoo- Love Unexpectedly

JameSie

ROSIE's POV

"Forty-three sheep, forty-four sheep, forty-five sheep, forty-six -" I counted sounding a little hopeful, wishing that it would help me lull to sleep once I reached fifty just like what Jamie had told me a while ago. But I guess imagining those white fluffy sheep jumping over the fence wouldn't help either.

"Should I try unicorns? Or maybe I should wish on the stars instead," I murmured to myself, and my eyes fluttered open for the first time since half an hour ago. My gaze darted upward, eyeing the hanging stars and clouds that decorated the entire bedroom ceiling, contemplating what steps to take next.

I was lost in deep thoughts when I suddenly felt a cold snout touch my forehead. It was my brother Leo, who was all curled up just above my pillow with little Hanky on the other side. 

Just the sight of them somehow made me smile.

We always sleep like this, all bundled together with all of my brothers, including Lego, Louis, and Luca. It used to lull me to sleep, knowing I was with them and I was home with my moms..but this time, it's not the same.

I guess it hasn't been the same for a while now. I'm not home and this is not my room either. Rather, it was Jamie's, and I've been staying for almost a week now.

"Can't sleep, Oppa?"

 "Do you miss our moms too?" I uttered now facing my dog and Leo just nodded his head and leaned closer, giving me a few licks on my cheeks as his way of comforting me.

"I miss them too, Oppa."

"Do you think our moms miss us too? Do they stay awake at night thinking about us?"

"Do they cry too?"

"I wish they didn't, 'cause that would only make me more.....sad." I muttered and I felt Leo snuggled closer, his head resting on my cheek.

It had always been like this.

Whenever I was upset or sad, my brother would often lay his head on mine and it would always give me comfort and peace. Mom used to tell me that when I was just a baby, Leo would lay beside me in my crib so he could watch me sleep. He would snuggle and rest his head on mine to keep me warm and that stopped me from crying every night. Mom even took a photo of us and had kept it in our photo album since then. 

"Rosie, Why are you still awake?" I suddenly heard someone speak in a hoarse voice. I turned around and found Jamie already facing me, with Kuma in her arms, both looking dazed from their interrupted sleep. Jamie lazily scratched her eyes, trying to remain awake but her cat eyes widened in worry the moment she noticed something.

"Hey, why are you crying? What happened?" Jamie panicked. She got up and sat next to me, her tiny arms stretched forward, wiping my cheeks with her pajama sleeve.

"Was I crying?" I replied confused. My hand intuitively traced my cheeks and I gasped at the realization which made Jamie chuckle lightly.

"Yes, you are. What happened?" she asked patiently. Her tone was still laced with worry, but this time Jamie managed to smile.

"Nothing. I just realized how much I love Leo..and Hank...and my brothers.." I answered truthfully, hugging my brothers while Jamie watched us fondly. We remained silent, both seated on her bed when I suddenly felt her hand gently squeeze mine and Jamie finally spoke.

"You're missing both of your Moms, right?" I heard Jamie uttered softly and I suddenly felt a lump in my throat. For days, I've been trying my best to shake this lingering feeling off my chest but I guess Jamie could always see through me.
