Drew laying in his bed, tossing and turning trying to find a comfortable place to lay. He let out a frustrated growl, as he threw his pillow at the wall.
"Fuck.. I just want to sleep!" Drew thought.
Drew laid on his side, blankly staring at the wall. Turning around, Drew grabbed his phone. He turned it on, his eyes squinted as he tried to adjust to the brightness.
Opening his phone once his eyes opened all the way and adjusted properly. He checked the time on his phone, 1:21am it read. Drew groaned, he had school roughly in the next 5 hours.
Drew unlocked his phone, and went to Discord. He opened his DM's with Liam and messaged him. Out of everyone Drew knew, Liam was the most likely to be awake.
He waited, staring at the phone. After 10 minutes he yawned, starting to feel tired. He turned off his phone, and laid on his back. Drew grabbed his blanket and laid it over him, he closed his eyes and passed out almost immediately.
Later Drew was still sleeping, but started to stir awake. The sounds of a window opening, alerted him... He started to wake up more as the sounds started to sound like they were coming into his room.
Drew sat up in a panic, his eyes shot open. He looked over to see a figure coming through his window. Drew froze there.. what was he supposed to do!?
The figure looked over and froze as well, looking at Drew. It seemed pretty in shock as well, seeing Drew woke up like that.
"Hey.." A familiar voice spoke.
Drew raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out who this was, then it clicked.
"LIAM!?" Drew said, a lot louder than he expected.
"Ah, shut up Drew! You're going to wake up your parents," Liam whispered.
Liam came into the room, shutting the window. He stood in the corner of Drew's room, standing there as he looked at Drew. At least, that's what Drew assumed; it was too dark for him to tell.
"It's fine, they're not home," Drew said.
Drew paused, why did Liam basically just break into his house?
"Wait, why are you in my room?" Drew paused. "If you had to come in, why through my window?" Drew asked.
"Well I thought your parents were home so going through the front door would have alerted them" Liam said.
"Well for why I'm here, you did message me to come over," Liam said, a quiet laugh came out of him.
"I did?" Drew said, not remembering doing that.
Was he really that sleep deprived earlier? Liam nodded. He was still standing over in the corner of Drew's room, which started to freak him out.
"Can you come over here?" Drew mumbled.
Liam came over, and sat on the edge of Drew's bed. Drew yawned, and gently rubbed his eyes.
"What was the message I sent you about?" Drew asked, tiredly.
"You couldn't sleep, so you wanted me to come help you," Liam said.
Drew stretched his arms, as he looked over at Liam. He was forcing himself to stay awake, so he didn't just fall asleep while talking to Liam.
"Well I mean it seems like you have it figured out, so I might as well leave," Liam said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"You came all this way, you might as well stay the night" Drew giggled.
Liam smiled, at least he wouldn't have to leave. As he sat there, he noticed something.
"Wait, where am I supposed to sleep?" Liam asked.
Drew laid back down on his bed, laying on his side looking away from Liam. He grabbed his blanket and started to get all cozy again.
"You can sleep in my bed, there's enough room for us both," Drew mumbled, tiredly.
Liam blushed, he never shared a bed with someone. As he thought more about it, this wouldn't be weird.. Drew was his friend and he would have his side and Liam could have his own.
Liam took deep breaths as he tried to calm himself. Liam took off his shoes, keeping them near the bed. He crawled into Drew's bed, laying down on the opposite side of Drew. He laid there on his back, trying to soothe his own nerves.
Liam closed his eyes, trying to get to bed. He yawned a little, before turning onto his side. He rested his arm under a pillow and nudged his head into the pillow. He rested there before he fell asleep.
Slowly opening his eyes, Drew noticed himself waking up again. A faint groan escaped him as he woke up for a second time!
With his eyes all the way, he felt something moving. He guessed it was Liam so he didn't pay it much attention. He laid there, shutting his eyes, trying to rest. All of a sudden he felt a soft blanket wrap around him.
He was tempted to move, until he felt arms wrapped around his body and a leg rest on his own. Drew's face turned a shade of red as he felt someone's head dig into his neck.
Drew looked down and the first thing he was brown hair, realized Liam was most definitely cuddling. Drew brought his hand up, and went to pet Liam's hair. He laughed, with a small smile on his face. He laid his head back on his pillow, relaxing again.
He took his hand back, resting it down on the bed as he closed his eyes and laid there. Waiting for his body to finally let him go back to sleep. Drew laid there for a while before he knew he wasn't going back to bed.
Drew slowly reached his hand out, and grabbed his phone. He opened it and went onto YouTube. He found a video to watch and clicked on it.
As Drew laid there watching YouTube he heard the sounds of crying. He looked back at Liam and there he was sobbing away. Drew turned his video off, and turned his attention to Liam.
Liam shifted his body a little bit, noticing that Drew was awake. He nudged his head into Drew's shoulder and held his arms around Drew's chest. Drew found this amusing, Liam was far too tall to try doing this but yet here he was.
Drew turned around to face Liam, it was odd to be in this position. If anything Drew definitely didn't think he'd be holding Liam like this, perhaps the other way around but definitely not like this. He put his hands around Liam's body, pulling him closer. He set free one of his hands, and gently started to pat Liam's hair.
"Hey, it's going to be alright." Drew paused, "What's wrong, are you not feeling well?" Drew asked.
Liam nodded his head, his face still wet with tears. Drew's heart broke as Liam cried into his shoulder, his grip on Drew's back tightened. Drew eyes widened, Liam must have really been hurting for him to be clinging onto him like this.
"What's hurting Liam?" Drew asked.
"My stomach hurts so fucking much!" Liam cried.
Drew rubbed Liam back and tried calming him down.
"Do you want me to go get you some pain killers?" Drew asked.
Liam nodded his head, loosening his grip on Drew so he could get up. Drew got up out of his bed, and headed to his bathroom. He opened the door, and turned on the lights.
He opened the cabinets, quickly finding the pain killer bottle.
"How many do you want?" Drew asked.
"Like.. 3?" Liam mumbled, his voice cracking.
Drew grabbed 3 pills from the bottle before putting it back into the cabinet. Turning off the lights and closing the door, Drew went back into the bedroom. He sat down in his bed, and handed Liam the pain killers.
Liam sat up, but still mostly laying down. He put them in his mouth, swallowing them. Liam muttered something that Drew couldn't hear.
Drew laid back down on his bed, grabbing a blanket and wrapping it over himself. Liam laid back soon enough, turning his body over towards Drew's. He laid there for a while, wondering if he should even ask this..
"Hey Drew, you don't mind if I cuddle you again?" Liam mumbled.
He looked away from Drew as his face flushed red from embarrassment.
"Yeah sure,” Drew said, being sleepy.
Liam's eyes widened, he didn't expect him to say yes! Liam grabbed Drew and brought him closer. Liam nuzzled his head softly into Drew's neck, before closing his eyes. Getting comfortable, Liam fell asleep pretty fast.
"Goodnight Liam," Drew whispered.
Drew closed his eyes, easily getting to sleep now.
