The Presidents Son - Larry Stylinson

Regret It

Later that night, I sit in bed, thinking over everything that's happened today.

Earlier I had been judging Harry so harshly and I didn't even know him, didn't even know what he was like, but as soon as I met him, and saw him, I turned to mush. Stuttering blushing, fangirling basically over everything he did. That makes me angry, I mean, I know I'm gay, I like boys, but I'm always the confident one, sort of like a power bottom.

I like to be in control, but as soon as I was around Harry, I was so submissive, and now that I have time to think over it, I realize how small I was acting.

That makes me mad.

I shake my head, staring at the white of my ceiling in the dark, with a little light coming from my window, from the lights outside.

I sometimes feel like I'm living inside a display case.

I toss and turn for a few minutes before deciding I can't fall asleep, and I need to use the restroom.

As I get up, I see a light coming from under my door, from the hallway.

"Did they not turn off the lights?" I question to myself, as I walk to my door in only my shirt and boxers, and open it, to find the hallway light is indeed on.

I walk to the other end of the hall, passing Harry's cracked open door.

I resist myself from peeking inside.

I flick the light off, the only light coming from the windows, displaying our lit up court yard.

I walk back towards my door, but before I can go back to bed, I see shuffling out of the corner of my eyes; I turn my head, to Harry's door to see him peeking out from the crack.

He flushes when I see him.

My heart hammers as I stutter "Oh, I was just turning off the light,"

He looks around panicked.

What's wrong with him? "I was the one who turned it on..." he mumbles

He continues "Do you happen to have a, um, nightlight of sorts?" he questions timidly.

Oh

"Um I'm not sure I'll have to look...why?"

He swallowed visibly, and looks around at the dimly lit hallway

"I'm scared of the dark." he states.

He pushes his door open and steps in the hallway.

"I really need one please," he begs

I nod "Kay, um, I guess we could start looking, maybe in the hallcloset," I say walking to the closet in the hallway, each hallway like this one has it, with extra sheets towels, light bulbs, something of that sort basically

I notice Harry only has on boxers and a t shirt

In the dim light I try not to look at his chest.

I open the closet, pulling the light switch, and dig around a bit, finding a box and looking through it, only finding a lamp and other light bulbs.

When I straighten up and look back into the hallway I see Harry standing in the doorway, somewhat trapping me in. I ignore that and hold up the large vase lamp "There's a lamp?" I try.

"Don't you think it'd be too bright?" I look down at it, a guess yes it would be. "Your right I"ll keep looking."
Setting the lamp down andturning of the light i walk back towards Harry, he moves out of my way, into the hallway. I look up and down, thinking of where else to look
