a/n: quick note, I started this chapter at 3:49 in the morning, so yeah!

—Colby

It's like 3 o'clock in the morning and I can't sleep... again!

I've been on my phone for like hours just tapping random stuffs on my social medias, taking some snaps then going back to the other app until I go around cycles on the apps I have on my phone.

Until someone knocks on my door. At first I was shock cause it's like 3 in the morning and you know what happens in 3 am... creepy or spooky stuffs happen at around that time.

So me being the white-scareless-boy I am, I open my door and to my surprise to see a sleepy y/n holding or hugging her big size pillow around her arms that's almost covering her face.

"Hey y/n." My voice is raspy and groggy since I haven't talk too much through out the night.

"Hey, sorry to bother you... but... can I sl- in your b-room..." I can't quite understand what she'd said cause her voice is muffle from the top of the pillow that's covering her mouth.

"I'm sorry, I didn't guite get that." I scratch the back of my head as she herself enter my room and sit herself down on my couch and putting her pillow down.

"I said that..." She suck on her bottom lips and slightly biting it while she fumbles on her fingers. Since y/n has been my room/house mate, I know that she's nervouse by her actions.

"That..." I said as I want her to continue what she wants to say.

"That if I could s-sleep with you?" My eyes widen with what she had said.

"No! Don't take the wrong term... I meant that if I could stay in your bedroom!" She immediately explain judging by the looks on my face. I know at first what she really meant, but I'm too lightheaded to think functionally since I haven't sleep yet.

"Uhm... yeah, sure." I said.

She said thank you as I close my bedroom door.

"No, you could sleep on my bed if you want to." I said as I saw her getting ready to bed on my couch.

"No, I'm good here." She smiles as she finally gets comfortable on my couch.

"Well, ok. If you get uncomfortable, I'm just gonna leave a space for you on my bed." I said as I make my way on my bed.

"Ok. Good night, Colby." I heard her say as I lay on my bed.

I mumble a quick good night as I heard her soft snores.

Now, I can tell that I probable wouldn't get any sleep now she's here.

Sleeping is hard when your mind is awake. And my mind right now is on y/n.

I've been having feelings on y/n since Elton introduce her little cousin herself to us

*flasback*

"Hey guys! So you know that we'll be having our overnight at the Suicide Bridge tonight..." Elton said.

"Yeah..."

"Well I'm bringing a special guest with us!"

"Oooh! Who is it?!" Corey asked.

"Everyone! Meet my little cousin, y/n!"

*end of flashback*

That's how I met her. At that moment at Suicide Bridge, we were the ones who stayed up late since we can't sleep in that place. But we manage to keep ourselves company bu getting to know each other, until one of us gets the urge to fall asleep. And it did. Y/n was the one who first fell asleep between us, but she didn't sleep on ground with the others, instead she fell asleep on my shoulder since we were like leaning on the boulders. Since I'm gentleman, I've made her comfortable by hugging her by side and let her head fall asleep on my chest. If she was still awake that time, she would probably hear how fast my heart beats for her.

As I was smiling like an idiot just thinking of the past events, I notice y/n fidgeting and almost shaking on her sleep. I got worried so I hurriedly stand up and knelt on her side to try to wake her up. By the looks of it, she looks like she's having nightmares.

"Y/n wake up! You're have a nightmare!" I shake her up and she immediately bolted up. Her eyes were wide, she's fisting her hands and her face is pale like she had seen a ghost.

"I-I..." She stuttered as I shush her off to calm down.

"It's alright! I'm here and your awake! No need to be afraid of." I said as I hug her and she hug me tightly.

"B-but Colby..." She let go of me but still her hands are still holding my naked (since I'm shirtless) shoulders.

"It's the second time for this night to happend..." She hiccup as her voice is in a shaky whisper and a tear fall down her eyes.

"Shh shh... I'm here..." I have nothing to say but to calm her down. Nightmares are worst especially when they're haunting and will not let you sleep at night. But I'm not gonna let this nightmares of her scare her off of her sleep.

"Ok, no "no" answers, you're gonna sleep beside me." I said as I carry her vulnerable-sleepy-tired body to my bed with me.

I couldn't help but hug her body tightly but in a comforting way as she snuggle on my chest, just like the night in Suicide Bridge but not in a standing position.

"Colby..." I heard her murmur.

"Yeah."

"Thank you for tonight. I really need this." She said.

"Always remember that, I'm always here for you." I said as I rub her arms softly with my thumb.

"Thank you, Colby. Have a good night." She said one last time as she finally drifted to a good night sleep.

"Good night, y/n. I love you, hope you'll know that."

4:39 is the time I finally felt my sleepiness, the time I have her in my arms, and the time I admit that I love her.
