The Ship Everyone Wants To Sail

Game Night

So, I just came out of the first day of tech weekend, right, and I find you in one of the computer rooms playing a game from your Xbox. It was an all-night gaming fundraiser hosted by the gaming club that you really wanted to be a part of since you were a streamer. 

I was in there for a while, waiting for my friend (Let's call her Nelly) because she was supposed to be sleeping in my dorms that night. I only found out that she left to hang out with a friend of hers.

So, now I'm stuck there with you since I could not leave without her. She did not have her phone on her. I mean it's fine being with you and all, but we are just together and I had no one to turn to when things got awkward.

Thankfully nothing got awkward. You were just sleep-deprived and did random shit.

We were with a friend (Let's call her Brooklyn) and you were laying on a bench while I was standing up in front of you. I don't remember the conversation we were having, but you reached for my legs, pulled me in, and said "mine." I didn't know what else to do but smile and play with your hair, but that happened. 

Another time, you were trying to pull me into you for some odd reason. We were both on the floor at the time, but near the bench. You decided to pull me by my arm and then I hit my head on the side of the wooden bench. It didn't hurt much really, but you made it seem it was by cuddling me into your chest, holding my head. I honestly wanted to stay like that as I was feeling content, but you know. Good things must come to an end.

And then lastly, when Brooklyn went to her dorm, you wanted to play more games before heading to sleep. You were playing the new FIFA game you just downloaded and was winning every time. In the middle of one of the matches, you said you "wanted to try something." I thought you were talking about with the game so I paid more attention to see what you were going to do.

And then you swiftly turned your head toward mine, really close to my face. You looked dead in my eyes for a good five seconds before going back to the game. During those five seconds, I must've looked scared. I mean, you did catch me off guard, but you decided to do that out of nowhere. You can't just do that to a person, especially me. I don't know what to do in these situations. 

You did that a couple more times. I was thinking after each time if you were trying to kiss me. And if so, why? Because we only just met and I never thought that you liked me in that sort of way. Let's just say I was overthinking this or the rest of our friendship.

You finally head off to a corner to sleep, and I sit near you, just to make sure no one bothers you. You do need your sleep. You told me to sleep with you, but I didn't really know how to approach that idea since we weren't together. I wanted to, but I didn't. Also, there really wasn't enough space.

You then asked me to play with our hair, which I was more than happy to do. I love playing with your hair and I think you noticed that, too. So, there I was sitting next to you, after I moved the desk to make more space, playing with your hair. 

My friend (Let's call her Lian) called me over after a few minutes just to ask a few questions. She asked me if I liked you. I said I don't know because I truly didn't. I just met you not too long ago, so, I don't want to rush it. But it left me thinking for the rest of the night. Was I really starting to like you?

So I was finally tired and wanted to sleep, so I curled up in a ball near you, my back facing you. I didn't want to be too close in case you didn't want me close, even though I wanted to be. 

I almost fell fully asleep until I was startled with something bumping into my back. It was you.  You felt my jump when you scared me, so you patted me with your hand saying that it was you and I'm okay. Then you scooted over so you can feel my heat and I can feel yours. Thinking back to it, that was pretty cute.

After a little while, I looked up wondering what time it was. I wanted to shift sides, too. I slowly moved away from you and turned to the other side. Now, I was facing your back, still curled up into a ball, my knee on your lower back. 

After that you decided to shift too, you accidentally laid on my head, but I was too tired to care you almost squished me so I just made a noise announcing my presence. You realized it was me and laid on your back with one of your hand resting on my top knee. We were like that for a while. I was somehow content and began to fully fall asleep. 

I then got startled once again, but this time it was a good reason. You decided to face me, trying to cuddle me while I'm still tucked into my ball position. You, again, noticed my startle nature and rubbed my back a few times to calm me down. It was adorable, really. Your long legs tried to wrap around mine while one of your arms was on my back. I just knew that actually cuddling with you is now on my bucket list.

It didn't last long though. I think it was uncomfortable with you because we weren't fully cuddling because of my position. You turned back around, so, now your back is facing toward me again.

We stayed in that position until we had to leave. Well, I thought you had to leave for an appointment with someone, but you never told me you moved back the time. So, you packed up you're stuff and left for your car to sleep for another two hours.

One, you forgot a part of your Xbox and two, you wanted me to play with your hair while you slept. I thought it was adorable (this word is just a theme tonight, huh) that you still wanted me to play with your hair while you slept.

I followed your orders and brought your stuff to you. You were already in a sleeping position when I got there, so, it took a while and you had to move for me to get in. I dropped your stuff in the passenger seat and then sat behind it. 

You laid your head on my lap and put your hand in between my knees. You put the sleeping bag over your body and then attempted to put it over mine since it was extremely cold. My hands were the only ones that were out because I played with your hair and had to hold my phone. Can I just say tired you is an adorable you? I don't know why. but the way that you slept just screamed "cuteness." You snored sometimes and it was the small snores that I legit almost aw'd out loud for. You slowly faced my stomach, that was rumbling may I add, and I have no clue why, but I sensed a younger you when you're sleeping.

We had to go to our rehearsal, so you had to wake up sadly. I had to wake up, too, since I took a small nap. 

I have a feeling this won't be the last time we will be sleeping near each other.
