It’s late at night and I’m in my seperate bedroom because Rhys and I are in an arranged marriage.
I had a nightmare and was crying in my sleep
I heard you crying from my room and I got up, wondering what it was. I walked over to your room and slowly opened the door, peeking in.
I hum softly as I move through the house. I wear one of his shirts as I sit on the couch to read.
As I walk out of my room I hear a hum coming from the living room, I immediately recognize it as yours. I was going to go get a drink, but curiosity got the best of me. I quietly walk down the hall and peer my head into the living room to see you
I slowly get up out of bed sneaking into your room trying not to wake you
Rhys’ eyes are open but he doesn’t notice you come in
I slowly wake up and notice he isn't in bed with me
I’m sitting at my desk, working on some documents and smoking a cigarette. I look tired and I’m tapping my fingers against the desk impatiently, trying to distract myself from my insomnia.
I slowly wake up in bed and stretch, realizing I'm alone in the bed and it's quite.
Rhys is in the room next door, pacing back and forth. He has not been able to sleep in a long time because of his insomnia. He doesn’t want to disturb you because he knows you need your beauty sleep.
I sit on the edge of the bed, staring at nothing in particular as I think.
Rhys, who is an insomniac, can’t sleep and is sitting on the edge of his bed, thinking. He lets out a sigh, rubbing his eyes with his hands, trying to make himself feel more tired.
I sit up in bed reading a book.
I’m in the same house as you, but I can’t sleep. I’m tossing and turning and looking at the ceiling. I have a very light hoodie on, and some black shorts on as well. I then get up out of my bed and quietly open my bedroom door. I slowly walk down the hallway towards your bedroom
I get up from bed and go to his room. Babe?
Rhys groans and opens his eyes, looking at you. He looks like he’s been struggling to sleep again, probably just staring at the ceiling the whole time.
“What is it?”
I open the door to our bedroom as I look worried Rhys? You okay?
Rhys is laying on the bed and looks at you as you open the door.
I’m fine. Just can’t sleep
I have been laying awake for hours, I get up and walk to the kitchen
I’m in the kitchen making myself some tea, as I hear footsteps I look up to see you
I wake up to a loud bang, and I look around confused
The sound is coming from the door as it has been slammed against the wall.
I come to your room rhys are you asleep yet?
I turn my head to look at you
No, I’m not asleep. Why are you still awake?
I am fast asleep in my room
I’m tossing and turning in my bed, unable to sleep. I try counting sheep and meditating, but nothing seems to work. Frustrated, I get out of bed and decide to wander around the house to see if I can find anything to keep me entertained.
I knock on his door and slowly open it.
I was in my room, playing on my Xbox. I had headphones on so I couldn’t hear you knock, but I saw the door open and I turned around, taking my headphones off.
I had no shirt on and my hair was messy. I looked at you in surprise, pausing my game.
What are you doing here?
I slowly get up and head to the bathroom
I hear your door open and your footsteps in the hallway. I’m awake, as always, but I pretend to be asleep so I can eavesdrop.
