How The Two Princes of Iniversuia Came To Be

Alexander's Nightmare

That night Alexander was too exhausted to try and lift Benjamins spirits. 

Alexander flopped down on the blankets that had been sloppily laid on the ground and quickly slipped into his dreams.

In his dreams he was swimming. Blue water that was somehow also clear was surrounding him and pulling him deeper into the ocean floor as his breath seemed to be sucked out of him at an alarming rate.

He clawed at the water, trying to free himself but the water only tried harder to pull him under. Using all of his might he was able to kick himself up to the surface, but only the tips of his fingers grazed above the surface before pulling him completely under, and his lungs could no longer take life without air.

As soon as Alexander had fallen asleep Benjamin had felt bad. Alexander had been very tired from gathering things, and from dealing with him. Benjamin felt worse than ever, and was just about to lay on the 'bed' himself when Alexander started thrashing around and gasping for air like he was being attacked.

Benjamin didn't know what to do, so he decided his best bet was to wake Alexander up and hope that he would be okay.

Benjamin shook Alexander as hard as he could, but Alexander only seemed to freak out even more. Benjamin finally lost his nerve and started screaming at Alexander.

Alexander's eyes snapped open, then quickly shut again as tears rushed to them. Alexander gripped Benjamin tightly, and Benjamin didn't have the coldness in his heart to leave him.

The next morning Benjamin woke up by realizing he was being completely smothered by Alexander. Alexander had never been so touchy around Benjamin, but Benjamin thought it was very cute. Even though when Alexander woke up he would be very embarrassed Benjamin just enjoyed being held while Alexander wasn't trying to keep up his seemingly emotionless and cold persona.
