[START OF STORY]

NOBODY'S POV:

Raj was sat in his and Bowie's shared apartment. Bowie had left to visit his family and stay overnight so Raj had invited Wayne to keep him company.

Wayne, always up for some fun, suggested they watch a horror movie. Raj hesitated but didn't want to disappoint his best friend. So, they settled on the couch, snacks in hand, and pressed play.

The movie was filled with eerie music, sudden scares, and terrifying visuals. Wayne, ever the thrill-seeker, laughed and cheered, but Raj found himself growing more anxious with each passing minute.

By the time the credits rolled, Raj was thoroughly spooked. Wayne clapped him on the back, laughing. "See, that wasn't so bad, right? Just a bit of fun!"

Raj forced a smile. "Yeah, bro. Pretty cool-"

Later that night, Raj lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling. Every sound seemed amplified in the darkness, every shadow seemed to move with a life of its own. He tossed and turned, but sleep just wouldn't come to him. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he reached for his phone and called Bowie.

Bowie answered almost immediately, his voice a soothing balm to Raj's frazzled nerves. "Hey, Raj. What's up?" He spoke tiredly. Raj must've just woken him up.

"Hey, Bowie. I'm sorry to call so late, but I can't sleep. Wayne made me watch this really scary movie, and now I'm too scared to close my eyes..."

Bowie chuckled softly. "Oh, Raj...Why didn't you just say no?"

"I didn't want to let him down. You know how Wayne is. He loves this stuff," Raj said, his voice tinged with both affection and frustration.

"Yeah, I know. But you need to take care of yourself too," Bowie replied gently. "Tell you what, how about I stay on the line until you fall asleep? We can talk about anything you want."

Raj felt a wave of relief wash over him. "I'd like that. Thanks, Bowie."

They talked for a while, Bowie steering the conversation towards lighter, happier topics. He told Raj about his day, shared some silly anecdotes, and even promised to take Raj on a date to a small new cafe that had opened. (Foreshadowing to another request, RajbowStarReader.) Bowie's voice was calm and steady, a perfect counter to the chaotic thoughts in Raj's mind.

"Remember when we went to that carnival and you won that giant teddy bear?" Bowie asked, his voice full of warmth.

Raj smiled at the memory. "Yeah, I remember. You named him after one of your favourite songs, right?"

Bowie laughed in response. "Yep, his name is Cakey. The song is Appetite of a People Pleaser, remember?"

Raj joined his laughter innocently, "Oh, yeah! I'm still surprised that you like those kind of songs."

Bowie could be heard rummaging for something on the other end of the phone. "Yea, well. Those songs were with me during some pretty insane times."

Raj smiled slightly. "I totally get it! Hey, how is Cakey? I didn't see him on your side of the bed this morning."

"Cakey is with me, keeping me company," Bowie said, laughing softly. "Maybe you need a Cakey of your own."

"Maybe I do," Raj agreed, feeling a bit more at ease. "You always know how to make me feel better, Bowie."

"That's what boyfriends are for," Bowie replied. "Now, try to relax. You're safe. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Raj closed his eyes, Bowie's reassuring words echoing in his mind. The fear that had gripped him began to loosen its hold, replaced by a sense of comfort and security.

"Goodnight, Bowie. I love you," Raj murmured, feeling sleep finally start to take over.

"Goodnight, Raj. I love you too," Bowie said softly. "Sweet dreams."

With Bowie's voice still in his ear, Raj drifted off to sleep, the scary movie long forgotten. The next morning, he couldn't wait to reunite with Bowie.
