"Joshua!" Simon sang as he ran into my bedroom, his arms outstretched and no clothes on his body except his boxers. He jumps on my mattress, cuddling under the covers with me.
He finally settled down, his eyes shut as he relaxed in his small cocoon. His eyes eventually opened, a smile spreading across his face as we made eye contact. I had the same reaction.
"Thanks for letting me stay here," he mumbles.
"It's not a problem," I reply in the same quiet voice. Simon leans forward and taps my lips with his, smiles warmly, then closes his eyes once more.
This time he fell asleep, but I remained wide awake. I was still ruminating on the question that's been stuck on my brain since the first time we kissed.
My tiring work soon sent me into a peaceful slumber, at first, but later that night, I dreamt of JJ.
I dreamt of him breaking into my home.
Of him breaking down the door to my bedroom and flipping on the lights.
Of him beating me until I was numb.
Of him kidnapping Simon and keeping him as his own in a faraway place.
Of him taking the only thing I lived for nowadays.
And I couldn't imagine a life more pathetic and useless than mine would be without Simon Minter.
So when I awoke, startled as ever, I wrapped an arm around his waist and cuddled into him as much as I could, protecting him from harm.
