Elián;
"Mmm…" I moan as I stir, and I slowly pull my eyes open as sleep leaves me.
I yawn, even though I'm just opening my eyes and I quietly pull myself together and into a sleeping position.
The first place I look is outside the balcony. It's still dark outside… so, what woke me?
I look beside me, and find that Zephan has covered himself under layers upon layers of blankets to keep himself warm due to the room's cold.
Something about the sight makes me smile. I was afraid he'd turn me down when I asked him to share the bed with me tonight.
But he didn't. He didn't even try to put up a fight. He just agreed.
I thought he'd sleep stiffly on the very edge of the bed, but instead… he held on to me for as long as I can remember. Almost like he was scared I'd vanish if he let go.
Not once did he complain about the cold, and he acted completely fine until I fell asleep in his arms. Now, here he is… wrapped up like a Burrito in his sleep just to keep warm.
