Get out

The Dragon And Sleeping Beauty

Eddy felt  warmth by him that he couldn’t explain. Every time he woke up after his dreams, he would feel the emptiness that came with being lonely. But this time the warmth was not fleeting, it lingered at his side. What was that? Did his prince finally come? There was only one way to find out, he had to open his eyes and see if he was gonna be disappointed again. Groggily they fluttered open, to look upon a familiar face. He stared for a few good seconds, being quite tired and not being able to fully comprehend who was with him. It was not his prince but the dragon he was sent to slay that had coiled around him. So Eddy did what anyone would do, close his eyes and pray it was just some weird dream.

Brett was only half asleep, trying to make sense of the fact that the pillow he was hugging was so warm. It was nice, though, smelled nice and familiar. He shifted his hand to try and feel the shape of it, but couldn’t make sense of it. The bed felt weird too, nothing like his own bed. Maybe this was just a dream?
Eddy tried to stay as still as possible. Maybe the beast would uncoil itself from him if he gave it no reason to tighten its grips. One could hope right? Although it was a bit unlikely that Brett would move away unless he woke up. But Eddy didn’t want to wake Brett up, that meant facing the issue at hand.
Wait… Brett knew where he was. He was in Eddy’s room! His eyes flew open as he realized what his “pillow” actually was, or rather who his pillow actually was. He shifted back, almost falling off the bed, but luckily catching himself before actually falling.
“Fuck, I’m sorry, I…” he began, but quickly realized he had no idea how to continue that sentence.
Eddy’s eyes snapped back open, shit the man knew he was actually awake but how!? Or it was just a reflex for Brett to apologise and he should have continued to pretend that he was asleep.
His eyes met Brett’s in a quick moment, “Why are you in here?”
Eddy cleared his throat, being more confused than mad.
“Shit you’re awake,” Brett exhaled, shaking his head. “I’m so sorry, I was just… I was gonna try and calm you, with your… your nightmares… I swear, I didn’t mean to stay in here…”

Eddy almost cursed to himself, he knew he shouldn’t have blown his cover! This was now immensely awkward. He tried to look somewhere else to see if it became less awkward, it didn’t help at all.
“Oh...Nightmares you say?” Eddy cleared his throat again.
Brett blinked, trying to wipe the sleep out of his eyes. He had just woken up and was still lowkey panicking.
“Yeah, you’ve… as long as you’ve been here you’ve had… you’ve been screaming and crying in your sleep…” Brett exhaled, rubbing his face to both wake up properly and calm his panic from realizing he was caught.
Eddy licked his lips, he didn’t like that information at all. It was kinda embarrassing to know that his captor came in to try to comfort him from his nightmares. Also kind of weird if Eddy was being honest. It wasn’t really anyone's business but his own.
“Really, I hadn’t realized.” Eddy murmured as he shook his head slightly.
“Yeah, no, you’ve… I’ve heard it’s been since the beginning. It’s been Ray comforting you until tonight,” Brett said, backing off so he was sitting with his back against one of the bedposts by the foot end. He looked all disheveled from his sleeping. “I’m sorry if that was overstepping, I guess both Ray and I just wanted you to be okay.”
Eddy hadn’t really met Ray so he had no clue who that was or what that name meant, “Who’s Ray, and why would he care?”
He sat off carefully, “I guess I don’t really care if you come in to check up on me. It would just be kinda nice to know.”
“Ray’s the… the guard who treated your shot wound,” Brett explained, running a hand through his hair. “I’m sorry, I didn’t really know until like last night either… Ray’s just been doing it.“

“I was drugged, so I still don’t know who that man is,” Eddy blinked owlishly at Brett. Okay so more people had been in his room. That wasn’t creepy at all.
“Right, sorry. I’ll… I guess I’ll introduce him at some point,” Brett mumbled, shaking his head. “He’s just been kind of… holding your hand…”
Eddy’s brow raised, that was even more creepy. Just a stranger coming into his room and holding his hand. Eddy wasn’t sure how to feel about that, “Yeah, I think I would like to know who has been coming in here.”
Maybe he could make sure that they weren’t just some creepy man.
“Want me to get him… like now?” Brett asked, slowly scooting himself off the bed. “What time is it even…?”
He pulled his phone out of the pocket to check the time. Yeah, Ray should be working.

“Sure I guess, “ Eddy loved judging people in the morning, it was totally his favorite hobby. Not really but it was better now than never. He wanted this mystery solved and maybe he would play nice if no creep alarms went off in his head.
“Okay, I… I’m sorry I… I didn’t mean to sleep here…” Brett stuttered out as he kind of backed towards the door. “I’ll just go get him. I’ll be back in a minute. I’m sorry, again.”

“It’s fine, just tell me next time,” Eddy ran a hand through his hair, Brett had his dick up the younger’s ass so being caught in the same bed was the least of his concerns. Unless Brett was trying something, then it would be a problem but right now it seemed fairly innocent,”See you soon I guess.”
Brett nodded and disappeared out of the room.
