"Damn, you have a late shift," Harrison commented as Neil walked into the dorm. It was currently two a.m.
"Don't remind me," he said bitterly, dropping everything next to his bed. He didn't even bother to change clothes. The brunet collapsed onto the bed and was out like a light switch. His roommate snickered and continued to scroll through Tumblr for a few more minutes. A short while later, he passed out.

"Look, I don't think this is going to work..."
"What do you mean?"
"I... Don't want to get attached to someone I could lose easily."
"Lose? Neil, I-"
"You're a player, Harrison! Everyone knows that! I'm scared you're going to get bored of me and leave me like all the others..."
"What? No! I would never!"
"That's what you told everyone else, isn't it?"
"Neil, I... But it's different this time!"
"How?"
"Because, I..."
"You what?"
"I..."
"I'm sorry Harrison. I'm leaving until I know this can last."
"Wait-"
"I'm sorry. Goodbye."

Harrison bolted up in bed, breathing hard. He hadn't had that dream for a whole year. It had once been a reoccurring nightmare for him. The conversation replayed over and over again until he didn't know who was right or wrong.
"But it's different this time!"
"How?"
"Because, I..."
"I love you," the strawberry blond whispered to himself. "Why couldn't I say it then?"
His eyes wandered around the room until they landed on a sleeping Neil. He couldn't deny it anymore- he still loved him. He watched the other for a bit, remembering one key phrase.
"I'm leaving until I know this can last."
An idea formed in Harrison's mind and he smirked. He laid back down, thinking up a plan. He was going to win him back, no matter how long it took to do so.
