Baby Boy [DISCONTINUED]

22.

That night, Brendon and Dallon sleep in the pillow fort. Well, Brendon doesn't want to sleep, way too excited to have his own pillow fort, but when Dallon wraps his arms around him and pulls him close to his chest, he quickly falls asleep.

Dallon just lies there, in the fort, looking at the lights for a while.

He can't sleep, for some reason and it's frustrating. He needs to get up early for work tomorrow and yet he's lying here, wide awake.

After a while, he decides to just let Brendon sleep and go downstairs himself, to just get some work done because he wasn't gonna sleep at all, he could feel it.

He slowly gets out of the pillow fort and softly walks down the stairs, careful not to make any sounds that could wake up his little.

Brendon was tired and he needed his sleep because otherwise he'd be grumpy and tired tomorrow and he really needed to be well-rested because he had his finals, in two weeks.

He sits down at the kitchen table and gets his laptop, just opening his emails and responding to the most important ones.

After what just seems like an hour, Brendon comes walking downstairs, rubbing his eyes and giving Dallon a confused look.

"Dall?" "Yeah?" "Why didn't you wake me up?" "Well, it's very late, you have to sleep." "Babe... It's 6.30 am..."

Dallon looks up from his laptop.

"What?" "How late did you think it was?" "Around 3 am. Is it really 6.30?" "Yeah. Look at the clock." "Oh my God. We need to get you ready for school!" "Calm down, babe."

Dallon immediately gets up and he starts to make Brendon cereal, but Brendon just holds his hands and looks at him.

"Take a deep breath, I'm perfectly on time. I can make my breakfast, you go get changed, okay?" "Yeah. I love you, baby." "I love you too."

Dallon walks upstairs and he gets dressed. When he gets downstairs again, Brendon has made them both cereal and he's already eating.

"You look like a zombie," he says, as he looks up at Dallon and he can't help but giggle a little, making Dallon smile.

"I know. Apparently, I didn't sleep all night, so I'm tired." "You should stay home, sleep some and then just work from home." "I was thinking about doing that, yeah. I'll just drop you off at school and go home again." "That's a good idea. You look like you need sleep."

Dallon nods and just starts eating his own cereal.

After taking Brendon to school, Dallon goes home again and he lays on the couch for a while, closing his eyes and trying to sleep, but he still can't.

He just sits up again and puts his head in his hands, wanting nothing more than to just fall asleep because it really had been a while since he'd been awake all night.

He just groans and makes himself a cup of coffee before he gets back to work.

He had a feeling that this was gonna be a long day for him.

Idk...
