Across the pond

As the night grows old

"I was starting to go fucking stir crazy" a pair of dark mustard coloured hands reached out from under the bed and out rose Sam's hormone monster Benji. He sat on the edge of the bed "sorry I was gone, there was a sale on pickles. You know I have to get me some of those"

"It's fine.. Teto kept me company" Sam put his hands behind his head

"Ah shit. You didn't listen to her did you?" Benji picks at something in his teeth

"Maybe a little.. but it's ok. I think I did ok" Sam fiddled with his pillow case

"Soo.. shall we christen the new bed!?" He asked, making a pyramid with his hands like Mr Burns

"Id rather not.. do that in a new strange place" he said, shrinking down into his sheets

"Aww but doing it in new places is fun! Like and adventure" Benji said, bouncing the bed

"I'm uncomfortable Benj" he said, looking at the ceiling

"Ok ok fineee" he continued bouncing "but you gotta do it sometime or you'll blow"

Sam sighed and turned onto his side "goodnight Benji"

Benji smiled, sitting down "night kid" he tucked Samuel in

Sam closed his eyes and tried to sleep, he could hear music coming from Elliot and Dianes room. He didn't mind it so much, hearing something as he slept stopped the late night thoughts that often let him shaking from anxiety. He focused on the music as he felt himself slowly drift away into the sleepy abyss.
