16: "It's okay. I couldn't sleep anyway."


The world shook as you heard the loud rattle of thunder, seeing the lightning bolts through your window seconds before. You had always been scared of storms, and something about the hard pounding of rain droplets against the roof made you uncomfortable.

You sighed, playing music to try to block out the thunder, but it only seemed to get louder. It was proving to get harder and harder to fall asleep as the lightning lit up your room minute after minute.

You stood up, cuddling closely to the SDMN hoodie around your top half as you walked to the kitchen. You grabbed a cup, getting some water as quietly as possible.

You took a few drinks, using the bathroom before making your way back to the top floor that you and Simon shared. You looked into his room, the door partly open. You saw his tall frame lying peacefully in his sleep, walking back into your room.

You laid in bed for another half hour before groaning and getting up again. You stuffed your phone into your pocket, walking towards Simon's room. "Si?" You called quietly.

Simon wiggled in his slumber as you spoke. You called his name again, seeing him turn towards you with a yawn. "Hey, can't sleep?" He asked, seeing you nod.

"Sorry for waking you." You told him, seeing him shrug lightly. "I've been trying to sleep for five hours, but I can't seem to get any."

"It's okay. I couldn't sleep anyway." He told you. You caught onto the lie, smiling lightly as he lifted his duvet. "Come here." He told you.

You laid your phone on his nightstand before climbing into the bed beside him. His hands found your waist, pulling you to his chest. "Does this help?" He whispered, and you nodded. "Good."

"Thank you." You whispered, feeling his grip tighten before he kissed the top of your head. "Sweet dreams, Si." You whispered as you felt yourself start to doze off.

"Sweet dreams, gorgeous."
