Nightmares

I wake up to Ben whimpering and moving around a lot! I hug him and say “shh it’s okay! I’m right here! Nothing can hurt you!” Ben wakes up and I ask “what was it about?” Ben says “I. . .I was drowning again! Then you came up out of the water and you helped me out! You hugged me and said it was going to be okay!” I smile and say “I know what it’s like! I have some pretty bad dreams sometimes too! But they are not real! You don’t have to go through it again! You know what. . .here”

I hand him a piece of amethyst and he asks “what’s a purple rock gonna do?” I giggle a little and say “it’s not just a purple rock it’s called amethyst and it helps with dream manifestation! I am also going to light a few candles before we go to bed next time!” he looks confused and asks “so we're going to sleep together again?” I feel a bit of heat rise to my face as I nod and look away!

He hugs me and whispers “tsundere much!” I push him away from me and say “I am not!” he says “are too!” I push him down on the bed and ask “would a tsundere do this?” I kiss him on the cheek and go back to sitting! He says “you missed!” I blush harder and punch him in the shoulder! He whispers “shorty!” I turn my head to him and ask “what did you just call me?”

he smiles and says “I got you to face me!” I sigh and walk out of the room and downstairs to see Jeff and EJ asleep on the floor! I walk into the kitchen and start cooking breakfast! I look at the clock and it says 7:42 am I finish making breakfast and set the table! I grab two frying pans and walk into the living room banging the frying pans together!

Both the boys jump up and see me with the pans. I say “wakie wakie mother truckers I made pancakes!” I walk to my room to see Ben laying down sleeping! I kiss him on the forehead and say “sleep well glitchy. . .” I pause for a second before mumbling “I love you!” I walk back to the door of the bedroom and open the door only to be met by Jeff and EJ!
