After rummaging my cupboard crazily, I finally found some fresh & loose pairs of  boxers & t-shirts which would fit Korn well. He was a bit muscular then me, no wonder he appeared bigger than me in every angle. I was much skinnier so I was not certain that any of my clothes will fit him. Without much ado, I offered him my clothes & asked him to take a bath, so that I could be the next in line.
While he was busy taking shower, the thought of making bed for us appeared in my head. I've never shared my bed with anyone before. Not even when Farm stayed here or I stayed at Farm's home. In my home, there are plenty of guest rooms. In fact, majority of the rooms are vacant & hoping for someone to sleep. Thus no one had to share any room prior to this occasion. Obviously, I could've offered him a guest room instead, but there was subtle risk of Pleyn.
Anyway, my bed is bigger than my heart. So very less chance of not fitting in!
He got out of the bathroom almost about an hour later. It was not something common to me. I'm not the guy to stick with a bathroom for as long as that. I'm not a bathroom guy, you can say! It always takes me five-ten minutes to get a proper shower.
He looked even more muscular than I assumed him to be in my boxer shorts. His upper half was naked. He wasn't wearing his t-shirt yet. Probably, the shorts were tight enough to signal him don't-dare-to-wear the t-shirt. I didn't mind though.
He looked quite good like that. His nipples pointy but pink and his abs which apparently looked kind of cool but unusual made me spellbound for a while until he apprehended my gaze. I wasn't expecting him to notice that. I couldn't stare any longer & looked away.
"I'll take a shower!"
I vocalised nervously to avoid him from asking me that one embarrassing question. "Were you staring at my sexy body?"
Even though there was about 0.01% chance of him asking that, but I was still afraid of that little percent of possibility.
Apparently, he himself made the bed by arranging my pillows, two to him and two for mine, when I got out of the bathroom. But he wasn't touching the blanket, as there was only one on the bed. He was just simply laying on the bed without a blanket on him. Maybe, he was thinking that I'll use that myself. The room temperature in my room was quite low, & I wasn't expecting him to freeze without a blanket. Though there were spare ones, but I just felt like to share this one with him.
Without saying out that loud, I unfolded the blanket and placed it on him to cover him with it. Our eyes met, when my hands were on his shoulder where I was trying to position the blanket. We kept on staring at each other without saying a word. It was the first time I failed to realise the complexity of a situation and kept on staring at someone.
Our staring contest encountered tail end when someone pounded on the door being an uninvited intruder.
My grandma was standing right in front of me, her arms crossed & her brows not in it's usual position. It was a simple but usual gesture of her being angry.
"When did you reach home?"
She asked solemnly.
If I kept on answering her series of question then it'd take me more than it takes me to answer my exam questions. And it'd certainly interrupt Korn's sleep.
"I'll explain it all to you tomorrow. Please, let me sleep now."
I pecked her on the cheek to compensate for some of my past mistakes & for future mistakes as well, and then closed the door on her face, before she could protest any longer.
I'm not sure if she'd seen Korn on my bed but she was not one of them who loves to interrupt. She just left after that, the vivid sounds of her footsteps was a clear indication.
By the time I reached the bed he was already in deep sleep. It was not like we could have a late night conversation only if he was awake but we could have simply talked. Talked about things that I'm curious and things that I want to know about him.
I slowly crawled under the blanket and rested my head on the pillow to get a good sleep. Unfortunately, the more I tried to concentrate the less I was successful to grab a sleep. I told myself, "Knock! You're tired today !!! Very very tired. You need to sleep!"
But these words were not working. My eyes were heavy but my brain was not accepting its demand to sleep. I turned right, then left & then straight, but none of the positions were working. Sleep deprivation is the most lunatic thing that ever happened to me, & it becomes worse when the person beside you is sleeping soundly & you are miserably awake like an owl.
There was nothing to do. I just got out of the bed & opened the door of my refrigerator to grab a few cans of "Pocari Sweat" to drink. I held all these cans with both of my hand, which were turning red with cold and thrust them on my couch.
While I was struggling with the last can I noticed Korn staring at me. I wasn't sure if he was awake, all this long or if he had been noticing me acting crazily all this time. I felt a bit embarrassed but still tired from the day's fatigue.
"Will you like to have one?"
I asked out of generosity.
He shook his head.
It's weird but great at the same time. As we both are awake it meant we could talk. I dumped all the cans in the bin and jumped on the bed by his side.
He positioned himself against the pillow and took a seat beside.
"We both were awake?"
He asked.
"Fortunately Yes!"
I gleefully added.
There wasn't much that we can possibly talk about but it felt better to have someone to talk with, that too the whole night.
