One day

Yoongi awakes

and stays awake 

for a bit longer.

He looks distressed

worried, even.

I sit on the edge

of my bed

that's now his bed.

"Whatever 

is the matter,

hyung?"

He reaches out

and touches my face shakily.

"Hobi-ah,

why haven't you slept?"

I break our gaze

and look down.

"You are my priority.

I don't want to leave you."

A silence ensues.

Then,

"If you don't want to leave me,

then come sleep here with me."

He shimmies to the side

and pulls the covers down

patting the space

where he wants me to lay.

I hesitate

but then I crawl under the covers

and join him.

His body is warm

from the fever

but I am cold.

I wrap my arms

around his tiny waist

and he lays his head

in the nook 

of my shoulder.

His heartbeat echoes 

through his back

and I feel it on my stomach.

boom-boom.

boom-boom.

boom-boom.
