Jealous Is My Middle Name

{10} - school

I wake up in Scott's arms. I had almost forgotten about last night...

"Morning Stiles." He says to me.

"Morning... did you sleep well?" I ask.

"Uh... Well I didn't actually end up getting much sleep at all." He replies.

"Why not?" I ask.

"I don't know. I just haven't been getting much sleep lately. Tonight was the best sleep I've had in a few months. Maybe about 2 hours of sleep." Scott replies.

"Scott! Why didn't you say anything?" I ask.

"What would talking about it do?" Scott asks.

"I could've stayed up with you." I reply. Scott gives me a smile.

"But I enjoy watching you sleep so close to me." Scott says.

"Ew. Dude. That sounded so sketchy." I respond. He chuckles a little and so do I.

"My bad..." Scott replies.

"Seriously though... you should have said something. I really would have stayed up with you." I say.

"I know you would've." He says. He brushes his fingers through my hair again.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" I ask.

"It means I know you care Stiles. But I care too. Honestly I'm fine being up alone. I do it all the time." He says.

"Jesus that's not good. Text me next time you can't get to sleep. You're not the only one with sleeping problems." I say.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" He asks.

"It means I still occasionally get nightmares, so most the time I force myself to stay awake." I say.

"Wait what?! You still have nightmares?" He asks.

"Yeah? Scott they never stopped." I respond.

"And why didn't you say anything?" Scott asks.

"I don't know. It was never a thing to talk about." I reply.

"BOYS YOU BETTER BE GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL!" My dad yells out to us. I sit up in my bed and scott stays laying down.

"Oops... I forgot about school." I say.

"Do we have to go?" Scott asks.

"Yes. We do." I respond.

"But whyyyyy?" Scott groans.

"Because if we don't we'll get in trouble." I say.

"Ughhh fine." Scott groans again. He stands up off my bed and walks out of my room.

"Where are you going?" I call out after him.

"School?" He responds, walking back to my door.

"And how do you plan on getting there without me?" I ask.

"Well come on then!" He answers.

"Calm down Scotty. What's the rush?" I add. Scott gives me a confused look. "It's only 7am. We still have a few hours before school starts."

"Right..." Scott says. He walks towards me, closing the door behind him. "So what should we do until then?" He asks.

"No idea..?" I say.

"I have an idea." He says, walking closer to me. He puts both his hands on either side of my face.

"Scott?" I say, unphased by everything.
