Unexpected Guest

Will's POV

Some sunlight enters the room and reaches my eyes. I slowly open them and blink sometimes. I reach for my phone, under my pillow, to check what time is it. Its 7:48. I scroll through the notifications, and I see that Guy sent me a message at 4a.m. I unlock my phone to see what he sent to me.

"Will"

Hmm. I think about why would he send me this. Maybe he just sent it by mistake?

I think about it for some seconds, until I get up. First thing I do is go to the bathroom. I wash my face. Looking at the mirror, I think about trimming my beard or leave it the way it is. I decide not to trim it because I'm feeling lazy today.

I go to the kitchen to eat something.
I wish I had mom here to make me pancakes or something just like she did many years ago.

I miss her.

Hmm, maybe I should give me a break and go to Starbucks or something.
Well, that it is then.
I'm going to Starbucks.

Guy's POV

I'm. So. Tired.

My mind isn't working well. I shouldn't have tried that caffeine pill yesterday. Now I can't sleep anymore. Congratulations Guy Berryman. And you probably also woke up everyone when sending them messages at 4 a.m.

After loads and loads of unlogical thinking, my mind finally comes up with a good idea. Maybe drinking tea will make me able to sleep again.

I go to the kitchen only to find out that the only thing in the cabinets is a giant spider.

"Fuck" - I whispered

It has been months since I went grocery shopping. Touring for a long time also has its bad consequences.

Hmmm. Where can I find some tea?

"Siri, search for tea"

Siri shows a list of coffee shops. Hmmm. The closest and cheapest one is Starbucks. Ughhhhh... I will need to walk 1 mile to get there. Well, at least walking will make my tiredness vanish.

I open the frontdoor and leave. Its 8:11 a.m. Who the fuck goes to Starbucks at that time on Sunday?!

0.5 miles... I feel like a black hole is going to open at my stomach and I will die...

"Guy? Is that you" - A familiar voice talks to me

"Who else could I be?" - I answer without even looking at the direction it came from

"Enter the car. Where are you going?"

I turn around and see Will.

Will.

The person I sent a message at 4.a.m.

Because I was...

How will I even explain if he asks?

He opens the door for me. I get in.

"What are you doing walking on your underwear at 8 a.m?"

I look at my body.

Oh. My. God.

I should be embarrassed.

But I'm not.

"I don't know."

"Well, I think you should also explain why the fuck you sent me a message at 4.a.m."

Well, now I'm embarrassed.

"Will..."

"What?"

"Will I didn't sleep tonight because I wanted to try a caffeine pill I bought at the airport and now I'm so tired I can't even breath. I'm sorry I sent you a message at 4.a.m and-" - I couldn't continue talking it because I started crying.

Will's POV

"Will I didn't sleep tonight because I wanted to try a caffeine pill I bought at the airport and now I'm so tired I can't even breath. I'm sorry I sent you a message at 4.a.m and-" - He started crying

"Guy, it's OK" - I said trying to calm him down

"Will I'm so sorry I disappointed you I'm so stupid I wish I was dead and-"

"Hey! Stop!"

"Will I'm so sorry..."

I stopped the car and hugged him

"There is no need for all that panic. Don't worry. I just wanted to know if you were OK when why you sent me that message"

He couldn't stop crying.

"Hey, I will take you home. You really have no mind or body to go anywhere."

We got home. I took him to my bed and covered him with a blanket.

"Will?"
"What?"
"I... I don't want to sleep alone"
"You want me to lay down with you?"
"Uhum"
"OK..."

I layed next to him. I didn't touch him, because I would never take advantage of someone who hasn't slept for one day.

Some minutes later, he slept.

All of this made me a bit tired. Maybe I should sleep too...
