Chapter 5

Brett' POV

I was invited to another party today, but after yesterday I'd rather stay in, and hopefully, Noah didn't have plans either so we could hang out.

Noah came out from his bedroom and walked straight to the kitchen without even looking at me. Ever since Naomi left this morning he's not really been talking, he's just been inside his room, other than when he needed to go the bathroom or get some food from the kitchen. 

''Hey Noah, haven't seen much of you today. Care the sit down with me?'' I asked and smiled at him.

He looked at me for some time, probably thinking about what to reply.

''I guess, I just finished my book so I don't really have much else to do'' he said and raised his shoulders. I wasn't too happy that he was only hanging out with me because he didn't have anything better to do, but I was happy that he was going to hang out with me at all.

''Come and sit down then'' I said and smiled, pretending I wasn't a little bit annoyed by his remark.

''Wait a minute, I'm just making some tea. You want anything?'' he asked me as he was standing on his tippy toes to get the tea from the cabinet. 

''If you don't mind, I'd like some coffee'' I smiled and he actually smiled back as he prepared some coffee at the same time. Finally, it seems like he's mood is changing. 

Once Noah had made our drinks he came to the sofa and put our drinks down before he sat down beside me. The sofa was quite large but he still sat down right next to me, not much space between us and I thought it was cute. I'd probably do the same if he was the one already sitting down. 

''What do you wanna watch'' Noah asked me as he took a sip of his tea.

I opened Netflix on the smart TV, ''let's check what looks fun'' I said and went straight to the horror section.

''You want to watch horror'' Noah asked a little bit worried.

''You don't, are you scared'' I said teasingly but Noah just punched me, not that it hurt it only made me laugh.

''No, but I'll use a pillow in case'' he said and grabbed the nearest pillow.

I moved closer with my head ''You could always use me'' I said, continuing to tease him. He quickly turned towards me with wide, shocked eyes and a little red showing on his nose and cheeks. He was too cute for his own good. I ruffled his hair as he turned back to the television.

We chose a random horror movie neither of us had seen before. Not had we known that he was clearly one of the scariest horror movies that Noah had ever seen. 

I was just casually laying on the couch and watched the movie, of course, I too sometimes flinch when there's a jumpscare, but normally I can tell right before it happens. I had my arms behind my head, laying with my feet were resting on the coffee table. I looked to my left and saw Noah curled up, holding his knees to his chest with his arms around them and a pillow on top to bury his head in if there was ever a scary moment. 

Just being the jerk I am sometimes, I scared him by being loud as he put my hand on his shoulder with a hard grip. He yelled out and I started to laugh.

''Not cool'' Noah said and to my surprise, it seemed like he was on the edge of crying.

''Noah, are you ok? I didn't mean to scare you that badly'' I said, guilty. He was obviously quite scared and I didn't respect it, which I should have.

He was about to leave before I grabbed him. ''Don't go, come sit with me, I'll protect you'' I said with a smile.

''Like you just did?'' Noah asked angrily as I was watching his wet eyes. The movie was still in motion and we just heard the sounds from the TV but neither of us was really watching at this moment. Still, I don't want Noah to go to bed yet, I want to be with him.

''Please, I promise it won't happen again, sit with me. I really want to watch this movie with you'' I said and pulled a little on his arm.

He decided to sit down where he had initially sat, but that wasn't enough for me. I pulled him closer, put him right next to me, and put my arm over his shoulder, holding him right next to me. It seemed like Noah got more relaxed from it, he calmed down more, and instead of using the pillow every time he got scared, he would hide his head on my chest, which I really liked the feeling of. 

I put a blanket on top of us and Noah cuddled himself even closer so we would have more blanket to fit under. 

Once the movie was finished, Noah was almost fallen asleep, I guess he had been so comfortable under the blanket and calm around me that he wasn't longer scared of the movie and therefor almost able to fall asleep. 

I tried to talk to Noah, but he didn't respond more than with words that didn't really make sense and some random sounds. I didn't really feel like waking him, since we should be going to bed now anyway. Instead, I picked him up and carried him to his room so he could sleep there. It didn't feel right to undress him, besides he was already in sweatpants and a t-shirt so it was close enough to wear pajamas. 

Once Noah was put to sleep, I went back to my room. I didn't lay long and was definitely not fallen asleep yet when I heard my door open slowly.

''Brett, are you asleep?'' Noah asked with a quiet voice, so he wouldn't wake me if I had already fallen asleep. He was very considerate so I assume that that's why.

I turned around in my bed to look at the doorway where Noah was standing. ''Not really, what's up? I asked moving upwards, resting my weight on my elbows to get a better look at Noah. 

''I can't sleep because of the movie, can I take my mattress in here and sleep on your floor. If it's not too much to ask for, you're allowed to say no'' Noah said shy. 

''Don't bother to bring the mattress, you can just sleep in my bed, it's a big bed with enough room for the both of us. I turned around again, in my original position trying to fall asleep again. 

I could tell Noah got on the bed by how the mattress moved as another person was getting on. After a while, I hadn't noticed any more movement from Noah and assumed he fell asleep. 

Once again, I was about to fall asleep but was woken up by moans coming from Noah.  Surprised and strangely excited by the sound coming from Noah's mouth. I turned around, finding out that the moans coming from Noah wasn't moans of pleasure, and I could tell that by how Noah started to whimper out of fear. I understood that Noah was having a nightmare from the movie and to make Noah feel safe I got closer, putting my arms around him, and held him tight to my body. It was obvious that it helped, as Noah stopped moving and making sounds.
