Lights down low - Ethan Nestor (CrankGamePlays)

Ethan's POV
~~~~~~~~~~
Rain was pouring outside, hitting the windows lightly as I laid in my bed with [name], my love. My love, my life, my galaxy, my universe. Mine. I had been with them for so long it seemed like decades but it was only years. Memory after memory crosses my mind as I hear the pitter patter of the rain like children's feet running through a hallway.

It must've been two o'clock in the morning when I'd woken up. I made sure to be careful of not waking poor [name], heaven knows they need all the sleep they can get. The night had been unusually quiet, usually the sound of their laughter or the sound of my dreams of them filled the room and my mind. I'd stop trying to focus on sleeping and just focused on dream. Nightmares, daydreams, fantasies and illusions. All the things that made up this life I had.

[name] had curled up in the covers over us, breathing softly and hugging a pillow. They had shoved me away at about three o'clock, tossing and turning for a minute or two before reaching this position. It was so dark, the only light filling the room was the lightning outside and [name]'s precious face.

I remember when I first met them. It was a September day in 2015, I was going to turn 19 in a little over a month, and I was graduating soon. I had gone to a cafe, getting ready for a test that was coming up. That's when I ran into them. A barista at a Starbucks, I had turned red when I saw them. It was surprising, but at the same time it was a beautiful moment. Their face was lit up under the soft yellow lights of the hipster residence.

They had recognized me from one of my classes. We had gotten to talking until finally I asked them out. They had given me their number to call them on. I had almost never gotten a person's number before. We graduated together, officially dating by the time summer hit. She switched from a barista at that Starbucks to working a flowershop in the downtown. I had my job on YouTube, and things were amazing.

They supported me with almost every decision I've ever made. Even though I've been with them for three years, I haven't married them. That was the one thing I haven't done for them yet. I wanted to marry them so much, but I've done nothing to prepare for that yet. I felt guilty, but I knew they would forgive me for not asking after so long.

They were so kind and gentle. I can't believe they wanted to be with me. I could, would, and will do anything for them. I would take the stars and planets out of the sky for them. They have the confidence of a thousand people. A beauty more amazing then every woman in this world. I loved them so, so much. It's amazing that they chose me to be their boyfriend.

I sat up, slowly getting out of bed. I didn't want to wake them. I walk quietly to the kitchen, getting a cold glass of water. A splash some water from the sink in my face, trying to give myself a wake up call back to reality. I look at the time. It was about to turn five o'clock. Have I been up that long?

I sigh, heading back into my bedroom. I freeze once I see [name]'s figure sitting upright. They turn the bedside lamp on.

"Ethan?" They ask, their voice groggy. "What time is it?"

"Five."

"Why are you up so early?" They ask, rubbing the sleep out of their eyes.

"I haven't been able to fall back asleep."

They smile. "Come back to bed, you don't need to be up so early."

"It's ok, really."

"Ethan..." They whine. "Please?"

I smile, setting my glass of water down on the dresser before getting back into bed. Once I lay down, they snuggle against me. "I love you Ethan." They yawn. I smile, chuckling.

"I love you too."
