Our World

  He has the most betrayed look on his face. I kiss him. But he’s still moping after the bath.

  “So are we sleeping in the same bed again? The last time we did it, it was the best sleep I ever got.” Hikari mumbles from under the covers. “No.”

  “I see. Then I’ll turn off the light.” I turn off the light and get into the futon, which is surprisingly comfortable. It does feel a little empty though. I hear the rustling of blankets.

  “If you’re lonely, you can always come over here,” I suggest.

  “I’m not!”

  I’m a little sad. Maybe I teased too much today. I guess I have to sleep by myself. Not like that’s new... I woke up an hour later to go to the restroom. My back feels warm. Hikari is soundly sleeping in my futon. He must have snuck in after I fell asleep. Is he trying to be the big spoon? He mumbles in his sleep. “I love you Will…” I lay back down and put his arm over me. Guess I don’t have to pee.
