A Life With You - BTY VERSE

Damn Insomnia

Imagine. You were over at your boyfriend's for the night. His eyes were closed, his chest slowly rises and falls at every breath, his curls hanging on his forehead. You tried to be as relaxed as he seemed to be at the moment, but for some reason, you couldn't. All you could do was try. Close your eyes and eventually changing your position on the bed sometimes worked, but not that time.

"Babe?" you heard him whispering. Shit. "Yeah?" you answered with a guilty tone. The last thing you wanted was him in the same state as you. "Are you okay?" Darren whispered back. "Yeah... Just insomnia I guess" you explain. "Argh, that sucks" he said. He put an arm around your waist and pulled you closer. It was dark, but you could see his eyes and how he struggled to keep them open. "I'm sorry I woke you up. Go back to sleep" you softly say while stroking his cheek. "It's not your fault. And I'm gonna stay with you. It's okay" Darren whispered. He put a kiss on your neck and rubbed his eyes.

He turned to turn on the little lamp on the nightstand and looked back at you. He smiled and lovingly pull you into a kiss. It was soft and warm. It felt like home. "So! Since we're awake, what do you wanna do?" Darren said happily. It was almost crazy how this man can turn from being sleepy to be an excited kid in less than 30 seconds. "I don't know" you almost chuckle. He was cute. "We should party!" Darren exclaimed. His eyes grew big from the excitement, and before you know it, he had thrown away the sheets and making his way to the speaker to put on some music. "Darren, Joey is right on the other side of the hall! We will wake him up too!" you shake your head with a smile. "Then we will be three to party! More the merrier, right?"

Darren grinned at you before putting on the music. Hold my hand by Jess Glyne. That song is so fucking awesome. It wasn't too loud but enough for you to hear it and throw a party in the middle of the night. Darren stood on the bed and helped you to stand too before you both danced like crazy. It was one of those moments when you felt like everything was in slow motion for a while. Like your brain was capturing every detail of his smile, his room and his love to remember for the rest of your life. The bed complained about all our jumping and energic dancing but we didn't care. We were awake, we were weirdos, and we were in love. The music was still blasting through your ears when you felt something soft hit your face, causing you to fall back on the bed. You turned to Darren with a fake offenfed face. "Oh you didn't" you shook your head. He grinned and shrugged, still holding a pillow in his hand. "Looks like I did" he chuckled. "It's on" you say before going back on your feet and hitting him playfully with another pillow over and over again to make him fall. You didn't really succeed, he was better at this than you thought. "You must be fucking kidding me!" a known voice shouted after the music stopped abruptly.

It was a sleepy Joey. His hair was a mess and he was clearly still trying to find the amount of light that was hitting his eyes. Darren and you stopped and just stood there like two kids busted doing something bad. You both couldn't help the smiles on your faces though, even if you did your best. "What the fuck is wrong with you? It's 3 in the morning goddamnit!" Joey whined. You looked down so he wouldn't see you holding back your laughter. "We all have a life here, so you guys are gonna get back to bed right now and stop the fucking mess you're making because that makes people get up!" Joey added. "But... Y/n can't sleep" Darren explained, in a voice barely audible. "Then talk, cuddle or go make a snowman outside like normal people do" Joey shouted and slammed the door of Darren's bedroom.

"Do normal people really make snowmen at 3 am?" you asked. A silence filled the room before you both burst out laughing. You definitely were not normal people, whatever that meant.

Your bodies once more got closer and you both lean on each other's to taste his lips. "Are you feeling better?" Darren asked in front of yours. "Yep. Thanks" you smile. He grinned in response and kissed your again. You spend the next couple of hours talking and cuddling until you finally fell asleep in his arms, feeling safe and loved.
