Treebros - Nightmare

TW: None

Connor's POV

It was around three in the morning when it started.

I was scrolling through my feed on tumblr, trying to entertain myself. Evan was fast asleep and had been for hours.

I, on the other hand, could not sleep.

It wasn't because I wasn't comfortable. No, the air mattress was perfectly fine.

I just couldn't sleep.

It started small. I could hear Evan moving around and flinching.

Then it started to escalate.

He was whimpering and mumbling in his sleep. When I looked up at him, I saw him shaking and crying.

"Shit." I whispered.

If you couldn't tell, I wasn't very good at comforting people. Especially crying people.

"Hey," I mumbled as I sat down next to him, "It's okay Ev. It's just a dream." I played with his hair and felt him relax. After a few minutes, I took my hand away and got up.

Except he started whimpering again.

I sighed, but I honestly didn't mind. I got back into bed and started playing with his hair again. My eyelids had finally started drooping when he wrapped his arms around my waist.

I was too tired to fight back, so I wrapped my arms around him too.

Plus, y'know, I had a mega gay crush on him so I didn't mind.

Evan's POV

My eyes fluttered open and I looked around my room. Sunlight was streaming in through the windows, and Connor wasn't on the air mattress.

Wait.

What?

I finally felt the warms arms wrapped around me and the skinny legs tangled with mine.

Holy spruce, don't freak out Evan, but Connor is sleeping next to you. He has his arms wrapped around your waist and-oh no-you're totally freaking out!

I felt my face burn even more when Connor opened his eyes.

"Mornin' Ev." He croaked as he unwrapped his arms from my waist and stretched.

"S-So uh, w-why a-are we i-in the same b-bed? Not t-that I don't l-like i-it! It's just t-that y-you were down there l-last n-night and now you're u-up here a-and I'm confused." I stammered out. I saw his face redden a little bit before he awkwardly explained,

"You were having a nightmare? You were crying and shaking and I couldn't let you suffer. And then you wrapped your arms around me and I didn't want to wake you up so I stayed."

"O-Oh, okay." I murmured, feeling a little disappointed.

Just a tiny, tiny bit.

"Fuck it." I hear Connor mumble.

Then he's kissing me.

Connor Murphy is kissing me.

I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer.

"Wow." I whisper after he pulls away. He chuckles and rests his head on my shoulder. I start playing with his hair.

I can feel myself drifting off again, and I smile.

"I t-think I l-love you Connor Murphy."

"I think I love you too Evan Hansen."
