It was evening when Pit arrived, he stayed the rest of the afternoon in Magnus's place. When bedtime came, Pit remembered the disturbing memory of the black unknown figure standing besides his bed and felt claustrophobic inside the bathroom. There were many feelings making him so sick he almost got his head inside the toilet. Swallowing the lump down and breathing deeply to calm himself, he threw the dirty clothes inside the basket and left to his room.
He noticed the hall was quiet so he assumed Dark was already in his own room. Pit stood in the middle of the dark hall contemplating if to go sleep in his room or ask Dark for some company. A sudden feeling of being consumed by the painfully silent darkness rushed from his head to his fingertips, he finally decided and quickly got inside his room. Pit limply walked towards the bed and sat down, feeling unsafe.
He did not dare to lay down, every tiny sound would make him jump out of paranoia before realising that it was nothing. By doing absolutely nothing time went fast for Pit. When he checked it was 1:00 a.m. He was getting tired but never had the guts to sleep. Tiny sounds were heard more frequently until they turned into whispers and stones being scratched against the concrete wall. Even though he knew there was no one, he swore he felt something touch his back.
Convinced he had lost his mind for a split second, he rushed to the door and knocked on Dark's room. Pit was desperate looking around even though it was pitch dark. He could no longer wait and decided to barge in, knowing it was disrespectful he felt that something or someone was out there to be on his own. Finally catching his breath, Pit turned around and saw Dark calmly sleeping.
Walking over to him, he kneeled down and poked the sleeping soul.
"Dark... Dark..."
Pit kept poking and whispering the other's name until he heard a muffled groan.
"Ugh... wh- wha? Is it pill time?"
Pit did not paid attention to what he said and kept on poking.
"Dark wake up-"
"What? Pit? What's wrong?"
"...I know it may sound silly for my age but I..."
He had to lie, he did not like the idea of Dark leaving the neighborhood because of someone breaking in houses and killing people. For a split second he thought that maybe the person did got inside Dark's room but never woke him up then went to Pit's. He still lied, being doubtful if that really happened or not.
"I had a nightmare and I was wondering if you don't mind if I sleep with you?"
If there was moonlight, Dark would notice the blush on Pit's face. He felt embarrassed about acting childish about a nightmare; when in reality it is not and the fact about sleeping with someone else. Dark was drunk in sleep so he could not really think well, blurting out the first thing in mind.
"Sure you can sleep here..."
He slowly moved over to leave Pit a space and drifted off to sleep. Man, he is a heavy sleeper for someone who stays up late at night. Pit slowly got in bed and looked his surroundings. He felt safer, but the small hint of knowing about being unsafe still haunted his mind. Pit snuggled up in the covers and fell asleep, slowly but surely.
