Travis held Zane against his chest tightly, refusing to let go until Zane confirmed that he was okay 3 times.
Garroth stood by awkwardly, Laurance at his side. Finally, Travis spoke.
"What was it this time...?" he asked softly, in a voice barely above a whisper. Laurance looked at Garroth, concern clouding his eyes. Zane shuddered.
"D-drowning, but I wasn't in the sea," he replied, taking a shaky breath before continuing, "I was in a room by myself. A trapdoor on the ceiling opened above me and there was just water and..."
"It's okay, baby bro. We're here, you're not in that room anymore."
Zane felt hot tears threaten to spill over his eyelashes but blinked them away.
"Garroth, I'm... I'm really sorry. About everything," Zane said, biting his lower lip. Garroth ran a hand through his blonde hair and sighed, looking away from his brother into the corner of the room.
"It's fine," he said, unconvincingly. Laurance shifted uncomfortably, clearing his throat. Travis raised an eyebrow at him, wondering why he was being so quiet. Usually he would have said something by now?
Laurance caught the look Travis was giving him and shrugged, looking painfully awkward.
"I, uh, didn't know you had nightmares..." he tried, but the room was dead quiet once again.
Zane slowly removed himself from Travis, embarrassed that he had scared everyone so much.
"Uh, Laurance..." Travis said, a small grin creeping onto his lips.
"...yeah?"
"Why did you come out of Garroth's room when you ran down here?"
Garroth immediately snapped his head back to Travis, a red blush covering his face, Laurance as well.
"I don't know wh-what you're talking about...! I just left something, y'know? I um... L-left my soccerball!" He said quickly, stumbling over his words. Garroth put his face in his hands and groaned.
"Mhm, right, but... Why was your stuff in there in the first place, huh?"
Zane pointed an accusing finger at Garroth, laughing along with Travis. "Hey, we're even now! You didn't tell me about Laurance!"
"What!? I can assure you nothing is going on between us, we're just good friends!"
"Liar!" Zane shouted, cackling like a mad scientist.
"You guys... This is so embarrassing."
Laurance said, covering his face with his hands.
