Denis' POV

I sat on the muddy ground, Alex lying across me and crying into my shoulder. I shivered as we all sat there in silence. Corl was sitting on the other side of Ethan's cold body. 

Me and Corl looked up at the same time to meet eye contact. His mouth was slightly opened and his blue eyes reflected against the wet ground. 

"D-Denis," Corl trailed off. "Why did this happen? We're the only ones left."

I looked down as Alex snickered, but he stay still. I put my hand on his head and glanced at Corl once more.

He was layed on the ground, his head in his small hands. I started to say something, but decided to let us sit alone in silence.

"Let's all go to our old clubhouse for some rest. I bet our old beds are still in their, we put plastic over them everynight."

"Yeah, it is getting late, but what about Ethan?" Corl said inbetween shaky sighs. 

"We'll take him with us, we'll bury him where we always used to play in the far garden."

"Don't you think his mom-"

"We can't tell anyone about any of this." Alex finally said. "Let's just do what Denis said."

Me and Corl glanced at eachother, but picked up Ethan and carried him anyway. Luckily no one was out during the night in this town. And even if someone was, they'd probably just think that we're drunk because of how dark it is.

(FLUFF WARNING! I REPEAT! FLUFF WARNING! IF THAT'S NOT YOUR THING THAN FEEL FREE TO LEAVE! JUST BE WARNED OF FLUFF! IT'S NOT SERIOUS STUFF THOUGH!)

We finally made it to the clubhouse where the far garden was. After saying our final goodbyes and putting Ethan to rest, we decided to head to bed.

There were 6 beds up in the clubhouse. One for all of us. We all just decided to pick whichever bed and hit the hay.

We all layed down and withing minutes, me and Alex were asleep.

I was woken by the sound of quiet wimpers.

It was Corl. I knew that voice anywhere.

I sat up to see Corl with his knees to his head. He was awake and rocking back and forth, to and fro, on his bed with his arms rapped around his legs.

I sat up and spoke softly. "Hey, what's wrong? Did you hve a nightmare?" Corl stopped and slowly looked up, his face red and stuffy from crying. He sniffled and replied.

"Yeah, it's been a crazy day."

"Do you think you'll be alright?"

"Y-Yeah, I'll be fine."

I shrugged and layed back down, not really concerned over Corl having nightmares, as he used to all of the time when we were younger.

Corl's POV

---------------

I layed down and took a deep breath. I was still shaken from the previous events, and, to be honest, a little afraid to be sleepy one bed away from Alex.

I thought of something. NO! That would be weird! But, we're friends. He wouldn't think so, right?

I sat up and whispered Denis' name.

"D-Denis?" I said, almost inaudible.

Denis turned ha;f over and replied with his eyes closed. "Yeah?"

"D-Do you think it would be alright if I slept with you?"

(OK HERE COMES THE FLUFF DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!)

Denis paused for a moment, obviously out of shock.

I paniced, not wanting his to be uncomfortable.

"I-I I mean, we're friends so, it's not like, weird or anything." I said after a nervous chuckle. Truth is, I really wanted to get way from Alex. He'd understand! Wouldn't he?

I waited for what seemed like an eternity for a reply. I soon was struck with a sigh mixed with a laugh. Denis turned over and held out his arm, inviting me with a smile.

"Sure, get over here." He said quietly.

I smiled and squeeked a bit with surprised, but complied and fitted myself in between his big, masculine arms- CORL! STOP! NO!

I fit perfectly in between his stomach and the side of the bed. I was a lot shorter than him, but I guess it was more convenient that way.

"Comfy?" He asked with a snicker.

I nodded slowly, hoping he would see me.

"Good! Goodnight, Corky." He whis[ered as he inchedd his arm closer to my side. I didn't feel awkward at all. I'm just gonna say it, I loved it! I felt warm, like nothing that happened before, well, happened! 

He quickly put his arm around me and I snuggled closer. I pulled a bit away in sudden embarassment.

"I-I'm sorry I just-"

"It's ok. I think it's... Cute."

I turned to see Denis' now red face.We were facing toward eachother now, his arm still tightly behind my back as if I was falling.

"Y-You do?" I asked a bit surprised. I bit my lip as my face turned redder. "M-May I g-get closer?" I asked squeemishly.

Denis smiled and pulled me closer. Our faces were inches apart from touching. 

Denis made the first move, kissing my lush lips. I quickly kissed back not wanting to make him feel awkward. Oh, whatever, I wanted to. I put my arm around his side and we pulled ourselves closer to eachother.

We finally broke apart for air and looked into eachother's lit eyes.

We both smiled and blushed deeply. 

"That was... That was actually a dream come true."

Denis maintained his smile with a surprised expression.

"Well then we should do this more often."

I chuckled my dorky chuckle and snuggled my head into Denis' chest.

"Goodnight, Denis." I yawned. He kissed me atop my head as I quickly drifted off.
