Ash's POV
I
laid down in Johnny's bed, which seemed massive for a small animal like
me. When he said the word "messy", he must he joking because his room is
fairly neat, only with a few trash and shirts lying on the floor. My
room is definitely messier than this. I inhaled the scent of his pillow
and kind of liked it actually.... I slapped myself. Not mentally, but
literally. Ow, I shouldn't have done that. OK, fine, I'm torturing
myself too much. I have a tiny crush on him OK? I don't know, he just
makes me feel protected and safe, something I've never felt when I was
with Lance. I really like his accent too. And his voice. His voice is so
soothing and pure.... OK, I'm getting way to sappy with this stuff. I
must be only one awake at this hour. Johnny probably slept twenty
minutes ago. And looks like my wish came true. I said I wanted company,
and now I have some. The good kind of company. I was about to tuck in
for the night until I heard shouting from the other room. I immediately
recognised Johnny's voice and couldn't help but to eavesdrop on him.
'Dad! Dad no! Please don't kill him. Dad! Dad!' He shouted. I jumped off
the bed and headed towards his room. Or rather, his Dad's room. And
there he was shouting and kicking for all he's worth. I felt bad for
him. Because from those words I heard earlier, I guessed that he was
having a nightmare about his dad getting executed in jail. I got on a
chair conveniently placed beside Johnny and tried to calm him down.
'Johnny... It's just a nightmare, it's not real... ' I whispered. I saw
that he was... Crying? 'Hey.... Don't cry, it's just a nightmare... ' I
cooed, wiping his tears away. I didn't notice that I was leaning closer
and closer to his face, until when his eyes suddenly shot opened then I
realized that our faces were only mere centimeters apart. I felt myself
blushing heavily and backfaced him. 'Ash? What are you doing here?' He
asked casually. How can he still keep his cool in a situation like
this!? 'Oh... I heard you shouting from the other r-room so I came to
check on y-you.' I stammered. I turned to face him but hanged my head
low. Once I felt that I'm no longer blushing, I looked up at him. That
was a bad choice. I noticed that he was shirtless. 'Of course! How can I
forget? Boys always go shirtless before sleeping.' I mumbled
sarcastically to myself. Great, now I'm blushing again. What is wrong
with me? 'Did I shout out loud in my sleep? I'm so sorry.' Johnny
apologized. 'It's OK, I just came to check on you that's all.' I replied
with a cheery smile. 'Why were you so close my my face though?' He
asked. He just had to ask me that question. 'Oh! I... Ummm... I... My
goodness look at the time! We really should head back to bed now. See
you in the morning!' I rambled, speeding my way back to Johnny's room. I
dragged a hand over my face before slowly making my way to the bed.
