Jesse
I took him to my room. His eyes are red from crying and his cheeks look puffy. His hands are really soft and they're really small compared to mine. I led him to the bed and sat him down. He looked exhausted from the crying, so I poured a glass of water and gave it to him.
He whispered a soft 'thank you' before drinking it. I smiled and ruffled his hair. "Good night, " I said and turned to leave but just when I was about to walk away, he grabbed my hand.
"Do you need anything else?" I asked him. He bit his lip looking down. " It's okay. You can ask me anything. " I tried to encourage him to say what he wants.
"I-I......... It's....... C-can you s-sleep here? " He said, not daring to meet my eyes. I smiled and ruffled his hair...ehh...his hair is really soft.
"Of course. I'll sleep on the cou-"
"N-no. N-not the couch....... I-I meant the bed." He cut me off. I felt his hands trembling. The storm is still raging outside. He must be really scared. "I-I know I-I'm asking for t-too much but I have to f-feel like t-there's someone beside me or I'll p-panic," He said, his grip tightening around my hand. I crouched down to meet his eyes and smiled at him.
"Hey.... There's no need to panic. I'm here, okay?" I said and he gave me a small smile.
After that, I turned the lights off before we both got into the bed. He was sleeping on the edge, facing the other way from me. I could see him trembling while he curled himself into a ball. I don't know what came over me but I draped my arm around his waist and spooned him closer. He let out a surprised yelp and stiffened. I waited for him to calm down and after a minute, he did.
It felt nice cuddling him. I don't know what I'm doing but I don't wanna think about it right now. He's really warm and soft like a teddy bear. I just hugged him closer and stuffed my face behind his neck.
He smells really nice, my scent is all over him. His hair smelled like the apple shampoo I use. It never felt this nice on me. I'm still shirtless so I might be really warm for him cause he moved closer to me and pressed his back on my chest.
A smile formed on my lips as I slipped into sleep........
