I enter Deadlox's room not bothering to knock. After all, he was expecting me. He looks up from his desk and gives a small smile. "Hey Seto." I sit down on his bed and tilt my head. "What did you want?" Ty gives a small chuckle before responding. "Nothing much. I just feel a bit lonely and it seems like you do too." I frown before saying "That's it?"
Deadlox frowns "Of course not. This is about you. Are you doing alright? I know you have trouble sleeping and I doubt Brice being gone helps." I frown in return. "I'm okay." I say as I look away.
Truth was, I wasn't getting any sleep at all. The night terrors seemed to be getting worse. Recently Brice has been showing up in them. It never ended well. I would wake up sobbing, or screaming, or worse. So I stopped sleeping altogether.
Deadlox sighed. "I know that's a lie. Those bags under your eyes don't help your case either." I stand up. "Listen, I'm okay. Don't worry." And with that I walk away. No need to worry him.
I head back into my room and notice the small yellow light flashing on my phone to indicate I've got unread messages. Quickly I unlock the phone and click the small icon. A chat between me and Brice pops up and I happily grin.
Hey Seto, how's it going back at home? Anyways, I just wanted to remind you that you're an amazing person and I'm so happy I fell in love with you. Well, goodnight my sorcerer.
I feel my cheeks heat up and I text back a simple, I love you too, before clutching my pillow to my chest and grinning like a mad man. I end up thinking about Brice for what seemed like hours before finally deciding to check up on my potions.
It only takes me about half an hour and soon I find myself day dreaming about Brice again. These soon turn into actual dreams as I unmeaningly fall asleep.
