Okuyasu and I are having a sleepover.
Again.
It's normal for us to just go at each other's for the weekend, let's face it, but this once... Well how do I put into words...
I can't sleep, I feel restless, I'm exhausted but I simply cannot rest.
If he wasn't there I would go to my mom's bed and just sleep with her (don't judge me, I'm still very cool) because in this case I just need to be held for a little while to relax.
But! I just can't ask him!
He's my bro, what would he think of me?
Great, now I'm overthinking too, there's no way I'm gonna sleep tonight.
I feel him stirring and moving around, maybe I should fake being asleep.
"Hey bro is everything alright?"
Crap crap crap he can't see me in this state!!
I try to move as if I was sleeping, hiding in the pillow.
"Bro... This ain't working with me..."
I can feel his eyes piercing trough my skull, he's looking right at me, I need to tell the truth, don't I?
“Well, actually" I say, slowly turning around "I was just woken up by a noise, I'm fine dude don't worry"
I can actually see Oku's annoyed face in the dark.
His arms cross.
"I know you ain't telling me the truth, and I won't sleep until I hear it, make it quick please"
I pout, I'm really anxious to be honest, but I don't want to show it.
"WellIactuallyneedtobeheldbecauseIcantfallasleep"
His arms uncross, I can see his expression softening.
"Would you say that slowly for me one more time, please?"
I relax a bit, feeling a bit more at ease.
"I actually need to be held, because I can't fall asleep"
My hands tremble, my eyes start to water, my mouth is dry and my head spins.
Okuyasu slowly gets up, oh no I knew it, he's gonna leave me.
I close my eyes tightly, waiting for the worst.
Until I can feel the bed shift and something warm close to me.
"Could you have said that sooner, Josuke? I actually wanted some cuddles too... Also please make room for me, your bed isn’t that big"
I open my eyes slowly and I see Okuyasu's face right in front of me, his expression is sweet and he's smiling cutely.
Wait... Cutely? Did I really think that of Okuyasu?!
I can feel my face getting a bit hot at that thought.
His head slowly moves until it's in front of my chest, his forehead on my shoulder, his arms around my middle.
Without even thinking, my arms reach around his shoulders, holding him close to me.
"Goodnight bro, I hope you'll be able to sleep now!"
His eyes close and his expression softens even more, completely at ease.
"Goodnight Oku..."
The warmness of another body close to mine comforts me, slowly lulling me to sleep.
