we spent all day in your room and we watched tv while binging on chips and soft drinks. we laid on your bed with tons of blankets on us; just like the old times. you seemed content but when it was time to go and i was getting up off the bed, you gently grabbed my arm.
“hey, val?”
i looked back at you, surprised to hear your voice as it was absent the past few days. “yeah?”
“can you stay with me for a while?” you asked softly, seeming hesitant.
my eyes opened a little more and i tried to repress the sudden butterfly feeling in my stomach. “sure, jasper.”
i slip back into the covers and lay my head on your shoulder. it was quiet for a while until you spoke up.
“val?”
“hm?” i mumble sleepily, closing my eyes.
“thanks.”
i smile into your shoulder as sleep invaded my mind.
while you stayed up all night, thinking heavily in your own world.
