Dante's Pov.

I bolted up, panting while thin film of sweat covered me. The nightmare was vivid this time, everyone I know and love forgetting me, my own parents seeing me as a stranger. "Come on Dante, it was just a dream." I muttered to myself, whipping away the sweat with some random towel that was on the floor.

I sighed and grabbed my laptop from my bed side, maybe some Youtube can help me sleep. In my hazed mindset, I clicked on the Skype icon instead. I shook my head as it said Songbird is online. What?

I clicked on her name, the calling icon popped up. After a few seconds, she actually picked up, holding her guitar. Bed head is making her hair stick out in random directions, her baggy sleeping shirt just had a neon pink cat face on it. She looks cute like this, I wouldn't mind if I woke up next to her like this.

 "Hey Dante, hang on let me add you to the other chat." She greeted while clicking around on her side. Another window popped up, showing Ray and some other guy together. 

The other guy has piercing blue eyes that look more like ice than anything, being outlined by light bags. He has wavy strawberry blond hair that has two dog ears poking out and a stubbled jaw. "Hey Ray, hey random dude." I gave a half wave. 

Ray and Songbird started to laugh. "Dante, this is Ryan. Ray's soon to be husband. Ryan, this is Dante." Songbird gave us a proper introduction. "So quick question, whats with this Skype call at.. One in the morning?" I asked, glancing at my alarm clock. 

"Welcome to the ' I should be sleeping Skype chat', for all your local insomniacs." Ryan chucked, his voice rumbling and deep. "But what do you guys do?" I followed up. "Well its kinda like some game I guess? First one to fall asleep looses, first to fall asleep wins. Also either Ms. Stuffy Feathers or I play songs to help sleep." Ray smiled.

"Yep, it's my night. Next time Ray has to play his Violin." Songbird smiled. "Huh, so what song are you playing now?" I asked. "Taking requests at the moment. We are like some radio channel or something. We also have mascots!" Songbird held up Bigglesworth the owl. "Also Ryan!" Ray added in, scratching behind Ryan's dog ears- OHHHhhhhh, he's a werewolf.

"Bigglesworth, any thoughts?" Songbird set down the snowy owl, who hooted and pecked at her screen. "Thanks Mr.B" Ryan chuckled and I laughed. Songbird glanced at something off screen. "Woooow, Ryan the sap guy." She muttered.

"Welp, this is a request from my favorite werewolf bro." Songbird winked before strumming a few strings on her guitar and clearing her throat. Ryan stood up from his and Ray's bed, offering his hand down to his lover. "May I have this dance?" He whispered, Ray nodded and took his hand.

}-{ Song Above My Loves!! }-{ 

S.B- Wise Men Say, Only Fools Rush In. But I Can't Help... Falling In Love With You.

S.B- Oh Shall I Stay, Would It Be A Sin?

S.B- Oh If I Can't Help Falling In Love With You~

While she sang, Ray and Ryan walts in their own world, oblivious of the world around them. I focused on Songbird however, while she sing's she closes her eyes. As she sang the words in such a sad and beautiful tone, almost as if she was also in her own world, with me in it. I hummed along.

She lazily opened her eyes and smiled at me and I felt my breath catch in my throat. I-is she looking at me or Ray and Ryan?  Irene please let it be me. When she picked up the song again, I joined in.

S.B & D- Oh Like A River Flows Surely To The Sea

S.B & D- Darling So It Goes Some Things Are Meant To Be

S.B & D- Oh Oo-ooh Take My Hand, Take My Whole Life Too

S.B & D- For I Can't Help Falling In Love With You

S.B & D- Oh Oo-ooh For I, I Can't Help Falling In Love With You.....


As the song repeated, I glanced between Ray and Ryan, and Songbird. I started to notice the little things about her. How the golden specks in her eyes sparkle more in the lamp light, practically illuminating the darkness. And- and how in between lines she bites her bottom lip. Or how- My Irene, I think I really am in love.

When Songbird stopped the guitar, she smiled at Ray and Ryan, who are holding each other so close, they are practically one. I want something like that, but with the girl on the other side of the screen. I know that she's right down the street but right now, that seems to be a thousand miles away.

Songbird smiled again at the couple. "If you two plan to go any further, please turn off your Skype." She joked, but Ray looked over with a slight blush on his face. "Whatever, good night Songbird. Love you." Ray smiled. "Love you too you idiot. Try to sleep tonight." She said with a wink. Ray made a strangled noise before exiting the chat, leaving the two of us alone.

"So any more requests for the last two member of the 'Should Be Sleeping Skype Chat'? Also why are you up?? I didn't know that you have insomnia too." She shrugged. "I actually woke up from a night mare." I scratched the back of my neck.

"Wanna talk about it? Sometimes that helps. You don't have too if you don't want to." Songbird gave me a soft smile that made my heart melt. "....it was about the people I care about forgetting me." I started down at my key board, not seeing her reaction. "Sometimes I have dreams like that, but they just ignore me and pretend they don't remember me." Songbird sighed sadly.

"Well how about this, I won't forget about you and you won't forget about me." I joked. "Deal, no take backs either." Songbird smiled. "Deal." I smirked. "But can we forget about Travis?" She asked. "Definitely." I laughed. As we continued to talk through out the early morning, Songbird glanced over. 

"Hey, we need to get some sleep, its nearly five in the morning." I glanced at the alarm clock, seeing that its 4:57 in bright red. "Fiiiine, but we are going to continue this next meeting." I winked. "Well there is no scheduled so you need to get lucky." Songbird giggled.

"Goodnight." I yawned. "J'espère que vous dormez bien mon amour, peut les rêves de mettre jour de joie."   }-{ I hope you sleep well my love, may the day bring dreams of joy.}-{

Songbird blushed. "What?" I asked. Why is she blushing? What did she say? "Goodnight Dante." She quickly closed out of the call. "Goodnight pretty bird."
