Dan's POV
•••
"Sebastian, Daniel, lets go you drunk fucks. It's late and we have to get back to the bus." Emerson said as he came back with Remington.

Sebastian and I got up. We didn't exchange words. We didn't even turn to look at each other. Nothing, and we walked back to the bus in silence, the only words being exchanged was the wind speaking to the moonlight.

•••
And then I woke up. I realized something. It's always the morning after. In movies, books, reality. Characters replay the events from the night before, thinking about the previous events that happened less than 24 hours before.

Right now, I was that one character. I was laying in my bunk, replaying the events from the night before. Last show, drinks, drunk, kiss, back to bus, sleep.

Kiss.

I kissed someone? Who? What when? I thought long and hard although it was difficult. My head hurt from the hangover because drank too much. I should really stop doing that.

I got out of my bunk, careful not to make any noise. I looked around the sleeping area and everyone's curtains were still closed. Everyone was still asleep. Good.

I walked to the small dining area and reached into a cabinet, rummaging through until I could find something to kill the throbbing pain.

"Ah, Aspirin. Thank fucking Christ." I whispered to myself.

I grabbed a bottle of water out of the small fridge that was behind me and got a pill out of the bottle. I took it and washed it down with the water before pausing in place.

I saw the light to the rest room turn off and heard soft footsteps going back to the bunk area. There was silence again and I proceeded back to my bunk slowly and tiredly.

Once I got back and climbed into the bunk, I heard shuffling and movement coming from Sebastian's bunk.

"Seb.. Sebby?" I whispered loud enough for him to hopefully hear. The noise stopped and he slowly opened his curtain. He yawned and rubbed his eyes before actually acknowledging me.

I looked at him and he smiled so I did the same. His hair was a mess, going in all directions. He was shirtless and looked super tired, hence the kinda noticeable bags under his eyes.

"Daniel why are you awake? Its only.." He paused and turned over to grab his phone before turning back to me holding it. "It's 6 am. Did something happen, you're never awake this early."

"I, uh, couldn't sleep? I had a bad dream, I guess."

He nodded and hoped out of his bunk, only wearing his sweatpants, and walked over to mine.

"Wha-"

"Get out."

"Uh.. why?" He was confusing me.

"Just do it." I shrugged and hoped out of my bunk, landing with a soft thud. I moved back and he got into the bunk, scooting as far back into the bunk as he possibly could. He left a small space but it was a big enough spot for me to fit.

I knew it was probably for me, because if it wasn't that would be awkward, but I had to make a fool of myself.

I chucked nervously and pointed my thumbs at his bunk. "I ,uh, I'm just gonna go-"

He chuckled and smiled at me. "No, don't go you fucking weirdo." He made a motion to walk towards him and he tapped the blanket next to him. "Come lay down."

I hesitated but crawled into the bunk, next to him. My back was towards his chest and I could feel the heat radiating off of him. I felt his breath on the back of my neck and I shivered.

He pulled my blanket over us and yawned. He reached over my side to pull the curtain closed, probably to block out light, before wrapping him arm around my waist.

I blushed. I really want to hold his hand right now.

I smiled and closed my eyes.

"You know." He whispered. I hummed. "This is kinda gay." He softly chuckled.

Me too, as of ,like, right now.

"Mhm, maaaybe just a little bit." I laughed quietly. I inched backs little bit more toward him and got as close as possible.

We fell asleep there. His arm around my waist, my back against his chest, and my mind happy.

•••
There was a swish sound from the curtain being opened. "What the FUCK is going on here?" I suddenly heard. I squealed and jumped, but I was on the edge and fell out of the bunk. Ouch.

"Remington what the fuck!? Haven't you ever heard of knocking."

"Seb, sweetie, it's a curtain you can't fucking knock dumbass." He said sweetly, rolling his eyes.

Sebastian quickly jumped out of the bunk and helped me up, picking me up by my hand, and he didn't let it go.

"You good?" He asked, caringly.

"Uh, yeah, I just think I had a HEARTATTACK." I yelled, giving Remington the death glare.

He rolled his eyes, once again.

"Watch it, Kropp. Your eyes will roll out of your head if you keep doing that."

"First of all." He put his hand on his hip. "All 3 of us are Kropp's. And second. Awwww, you're holding hands with Danielll."

I looked down and we quickly let go of each other's hands. Dang. As cliche as it sounds, I miss the warmth of it.

Now Sebastian was the one rolling his eyes. "Chill. We're just friends. Don't turn into one of those fan girls."

"Yeah, just friends." I forced a smile. My throat felt dry.

Why did that word hurt so much? Friends.

Maybe because I want to be more than just friends.. but of course, that will never happen.

I thought there was some type of connection. Like a real connection. Not just friends, but something more. But I guess not. It's just me in my head. Danzig, you're really fucking with my head.
