Insomnia

(Jesse's POV)

I have insomnia, I'm really tired.

I don't usually complain actually but, when it's been four days with only two hours of sleep it's something that just kinda happens; including me being moody.

"Just go to sleep."

"Just relax."

Do you think I'm stupid? I've tried that!

I'm sorry. I got mad, I'm just really tired.

(Third Person POV)

When Lukas arrived home from work and saw Jesse was awake on the couch, he had enough.

He took off his coat and went into the living room walking right in front of the TV when Netflix was playing an episode of  'Stranger Things'

"Hey babe, how was work?" Jesse said quietly.

"Jesse, come on, I know it's hard but just look at you! It's been four days, four days, love."

Jesse felt his bag ridden eyes start to water.

"I-I'm tr-trying my b-best." Jesse sniffled, his sleep deprivation making him extremely emotional.

"Come here." Lukas said, picking up the brunet and walking through the hallway and into their bedroom.

Lukas went to his dresser and pulled out a hoodie and a pair of sweatpants, handing it to Jesse. He changed while Lukas turned the thermostat to 18 degrees.

Jesse could only sleep if the room was freezing and he was bundled up in a hoodie and sweats and blankets and comforters (and Lukas)

Jesse crawled under the covers and Lukas quickly changed into the same as the other male.

He got under the covers and pulled Jesse really close.

"You took your meds?" He whispered into Jesse's hair.

Jesse hummed yes in reply and turned off the lamp.

"Hey baby, you can do this, I believe in you."Lukas said quietly.

Jesse smiled to himself, Lukas was the only person who understood that he couldn't control his sleep patterns. The only person who believed in him, always.

The room was pitch black. Just how Jesse needed it.

He closed his eyes and tried to slow his breathing.

"Let me help." Lukas said, taking Jesse's hand and placed it on his chest.

He breathed slowly and made sure Jesse did the same.

Jesse felt his eyes getting a bit baggy. He was tired.

He was soothed by Lukas's deep breaths and the cool temperature.

And finally, he fell asleep.

When Lukas saw that his lips hard parted and little snores left them he grinned to himself. Shouting in joy in his head, so very careful not to wake up the boy.

And he caved in, he fell asleep.

Lukas awoke that evening around 7:30pm.

Jesse was mumbling in his sleep, but not in a bad way, he was just singing to himself as he dreamed. Lukas smiled and very carefully removed himself from the bed.

He loved Jesse but he was hungry and he had to pee.

Lukas made sure to close the door softly and keep quiet the whole night.

When he decided it was time for him to go back he creeped back into the room and silently got under the covers. Jesse instantly cuddled back into his side.

The next morning, Jesse was still in a deep sleep so he left him there, making no noise as he got ready for work.

He left a note on the fridge, secretly hoping Jesse would never have to read it and exited their home, he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

When he got home he could hear music from the door, he walked in and Jesse was dancing, extremely energetic and painting a flower onto a white canvas.

"Lukas!" Jesse yelled while giggling.

"Jesse!" Lukas moved, hugging the boy.

"I slept for 18 hours." Jesse grinned.

"Good job baby, but you're gonna be up all night now."

Jesse just shrugged and turned around back to his painting, they were both happy.
