The bonus to having my demonic boyfriend possess me is that one, it's far more intimate than sex, and two, he can heal me.
But when I wake up alone in my body and mind, I can't help but feel completely and utterly alone. I sit up and look over at the small couch in my room and see Vinny and Evan leaning against each other, both fast asleep.
I'd take a picture if I could, because it looks completely adorable. I smile and slip from the room and go downstairs. I eat three bowls of cereal and then head back up to the room.
The boys are still asleep.
I don't want to wake either of them, but I know they'd want me to if I was awake. I nudge Evan, but he doesn't wake up, just shifts a little. For being stuck in a coma-like state most of the time, he sleeps a lot when he should be awake.
I lean towards Vinny and do the dumbest thing I can think of, I knock on his face with his nose ring, pretending it's one of those old time knockers. It wakes him up, despite how dumb it is.
"Y/n? Oh my God, you're okay!"
He jumps up, startling Ev awake and hugs me tight. I relish the hug from Vinny, and when Evan joins in, I'm glad to be there, a fan being hugged by people who once didn't know I existed.
"Of course I'm okay," I say. "Why wouldn't I be?"
"You were where the monsters go," Evan says. "That place isn't pretty. It's terrible and you somehow survived it, on your own no less!"
"We missed you," Vinny says.
"Not as much as he did."
I look at Evan. He has this reserved look on his face. I realize he's actually letting Habit take control ... for me. I stare at him in shock as his whole demeanor changes. Soon, he's not Evan anymore.
"Y/n?" Habit asks.
"Yes," I say. "It's really me."
He throws his arms around me and holds me tight. I hug him back.
"You're home," he whispers into my hair. "And I'm never letting you go."
