Poisonous Petals | BOYF RIENDS

Michael woke up with a start.

Cold sweat dripped down his back, the sweat from his forehead mixing with the hot tears that burned against his cold skin. He could feel his nails digging into his arms, almost enough to draw blood, but he loosened his iron grip on himself. He shook uncontrollably, choking back the loud sobs from tearing through his throat.

"Micha? What's wrong?"

Jeremy sat up from the bed, going over to hug his boyfriend. He was impressively alert for 3 in the morning.

"I-It was the Hanahaki nightmare again- I kept seeing m-myself die and you're there and.."

Michael trailed off, thinking about how heartbroken Jeremy looked. Jeremy slowly rubbed Michael's bad in consolation.

"Shh, it was just a nightmare, Micha. You're still alive and you're right here with me, right?"

"U-uh-huh."

"And I fell in love with you after the whole squip-cident, right?"

Michael snickered and nodded his head. It was a unanimous agreement from their group of friends to make it a pun.

"So it isn't gonna happen because I won't let it."

Jeremy pulled Michael's body close to his, softly petting the top of Michael's head. Michael smiled into Jeremy's shoulder and hummed.

"I love you so damn much, Micha."

"I love you too, Jere."
