Richie's POV

Here I am, writing a report about how was my day. At 2:00 AM.

I don't know why, I should be sleeping but... I can't. I slept all day today so, that explains why.

Also, I like the dawn, the silence that it offers. It's something peaceful.

Well, where am I? Taking care of Eddie.

No, no, I'm not in the hospital, I'm actually at home, so, keep calm.

Eddie arrived from work, he didn't feel good, suddenly he just fainted.

Of course I took him to the hospital, but when I was on my way to it, he woke up.

"Hey... What happened?"

"I ask the same... You fainted out of nowhere." I said, already taking the return to home.

"Really?"

"Yeah..."

"Oh my God... I'm sorry, I-..."

"You don't need to be sorry." I said. "Are you okay?"

"I'm really tired, Richie, that's all." He said. "I just started working last week and it's to stressful, I can not stand still for a second that I'm already warned."

"So why don't you resign? You know you can not push yourself too hard ... Did you explain to your boss that you have asthma?"

"Yes, but even so, they do not take that as a justification. "

"Honey, you need another job. Like... Right now."

"But we need the money."

"No problem... I can fix this, we can."

He smiled and kissed me.

"You have no idea how much I love you."

"Yeah?"

"Yep"

We arrived home, and Eddie threw himself on the bed. He made room for me to lie down with him.

"No, thank you... I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, maybe later. Goodnight, honey, love you."

"Love you too..."

Hours later I got the armchair near Eddie, turned off the alarm, and did what I'm doing now, writing in a diary. Something I never thought I'd do.

~ Narrator's POV ~

Richie closed the diary and then he looked at Eddie.

He got up from the chair and lay down next to Eddie.

"Hey..." Richie whispered. "Eds..."

"Huh? What?"

"I love you..."

He smiled, mumbled something and got closer to Richie.

Minutes later, Richie felt the weight of sleep beat and closed his eyes, it seems that finally they would have a good night's sleep and a quiet life without alarm ringing and without worry or stress with work.

Eddie rested his head on Richie chest and mumbled "Thank you..."
