Hold On 'Til May - Fuenciado

Chapter Ten

[Vic]

"Vic?" I heard someone calling my name. "VIC!" Someone said louder. I forced my eyes open with a sigh. I opened the curtain on my bunk and looked around, my eyes adjusting to the darkness. None of the other boys were back; what time was it? I looked at the clock, 2 AM, for fucks sake. Jaime, what did you want? I looked up to his bunk, where the voice was coming from, and noticed his curtain was still closed. Was he talking in his sleep? "Vic! VIC!" I stretched and slid my legs over the side of the bunk. I tried to stand, but felt dizzy. I spread my arms out to catch myself. God damn Jaime and his sleep talking, making me get up."Don't leave me! Vic," I had my hand on his curtain, debating whether to open it, when he spoke again. I froze. "Vic, I need you! Vic," he was whispering now, so I moved closer to hear what he was saying. "I love you..." I thought back to when Jaime tucked me in... did he actually... kiss me? I thought that was my imagination... I heard Jaime sniffle a little, whispering my name again. I opened the curtain of his bunk, deciding to wake him.

"Jaime... wake up." I shooke his shoulder. "Jaime!" I said louder. His eyes snapped open, him panting. He looked at me and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh god Vic," he still had tears on his cheeks. I layed with him, pulling him into my arms. He put his head to my chest. I smiled. I knew it was just because of his dream and his tiredness that he was actually cuddly, but I still wanted to take advantage of the change. I pressed my cheek against the top of hid head, squeezing him tight against my chest.

"What happened Jaime?" I whispered. He hugged me tighter.

"I... I... my parents... they didn't accept... you... disappeared... wouldn't stay..." Jaime attempted to answer me, not having much luck, but I made sense of part of his dream. He was with his parents... I was with him. They didn't accept one of us, and I left him. But... I'd never leave him, not as long as he wanted me to stay.

"Jaime, I'd never leave you... as long as you don't want me to...don't worry Jaime. And your parents... what happened with them?" I was curious now, I knew Jaime's parents fairly well, they were great people, so what had his dreams made of them?

"We... I... came out... they didn't... said unnatural... leave..." Jaime was really shooken up about this dream. He took a deep breath.

"Came out... ?" I questioned.

[Jaime]

"Came out... ?" Fuck, did I just say I came out? I was still half asleep, I shouldn't be telling Vic these things...

"Humm?" I pretended I didn't hear him, I didn't want to talk about this now... I took another deep breath, breathing in Vic's scent. Vic always smelled amazing, I realized that. He let out a sigh and pretended he had forgotten what he was talking about. After laying a little while in his arms, I started to relax. "Thanks Vic," I smiled. He was still there for me... thank god.

"You feeling better Jaime?" Vic asked me. I nodded.

 "Yeah, kind of..." Vic yawned. I was keeping him up... "You can go to bed Vic..." Vic got up and I layed down again. Vic went to lay down in his bed. "Vic?"

"Yeah?"

"I... can you..." I was nervous to ask him, but I wanted him beside me... "please don't leave me alone Vic..." I was close to crying again. I was scared... and I wanted my Vic. I just wanted his arms aound me for the night... Vic layed beside me again, his eyes looking into mine.

"Good night Jaime..."

"Good night Vic."

"Sweet dreams," he said with a smile on his face. With him by my side, I doubt they wouldn't be.
