Phil’s P.O.V:

I’m sitting on my bed reading “Seconds”. I set down the book and walk out of my room to go get some tea. I find Dan lying on the ground by the stairs. “Hey, Dan? What are you doing?”

“... Existential crisis” He says with his face in the carpet.

I just look down at him, he looks so sad and so i lie down on the carpet next to him.

“What are you doing?” Dan asks as he turns his head towards me.

I stare into his deep brown eyes, the same eyes that are usually so happy, but are full of nothingness right now.

“Just, lying here” I say.

“Thanks,” And we just look at each other. He starts to smile so i can’t help but smile back, and we just lie there.

And so we laid there, by the stairs, until he felt well enough to get up.

I help him get up and we go into the kitchen for something to eat.

Dan sits right down on the couch and I go into the kitchen to fix dinner. “What do you want to eat tonight?” I call to him from the other room.

“I don’t know, you can pick tonight.” I hear him say.

“How about we get pizza? We can order one.” I say as i walk into the lounge where he is sitting watching American Horror Story.

“Sure! I could really go for pizza. What kind?” Dan looks up at me from the television.

“Hmm, pepperoni?”

He nods and I go to the phone and call the pizza place. A while later the buzzer rings and I go down and pay for the pizza.

“Thanks,” I say as I close the door. I come up the stairs into the lounge and see that Dan has changed the channel to a horror movie that I haven’t seen before.

I set the pizzas down on the table and get plates from the kitchen. When i come back in Dan is already stuffing a piece in his mouth. “Dan! You were supposed to wait and get a plate.” I scold him.

“Sorry,” Dan mumble as he chews then puts the rest of the piece on a plate as I grab a piece.

“So what are we watching tonight?” I ask.

“Um I think it’s Annabelle.” Dan answers.

“Oh, Haven’t seen this yet.” I sit down on the couch and take a bite of my pizza.

We watch the movie for a while then when the scariest part comes up I jump and throw my pizza onto the floor.

“Eh, oops.” I say then look over at Dan who hasn't even noticed. I pick up the piece and put it pack on my play to throw away later and continue watching the movie.

When the movie is over, we both yawn.

“Alright, I’m going to bed now.” Dan says tiredly.

“Me too,” I get up and follow him down the hall and go in my room. I lay down on my bed and try to fall asleep.

When I finally drift off into sleep I am battered by a nightmare and wake up panting and almost scream. I look around and realize I’m still in my room and sigh. I try to fall asleep again, but fail miserably.

I finally give up and go down to the kitchen to get tea. When I get to the kitchen I see dan sitting at the table with his head in his hands.

“Dan?” I watch him lift his head and his eyes are red. “You okay?”

“Y-yea, just can’t sleep,”

“Me too,”

I pour some tea for each of us and I sit down next to him.

“Thanks,” He says as he takes a sip.

“You’re welcome.” I take a big gulp of tea and set the glass back down on the table. “I had a nightmare and I couldn’t go back to sleep.” I tell him.

“Yea, me too. I don’t think it was a good idea to watch that movie before we went to sleep.” He fakes a chuckle.

I look around the room then over at Dan. He is just staring down at his tea, looking sad.

“You really okay?” I ask and he doesn’t look up. “Dan?”

“Yea, I’m fine, just tired I think.”

“Oh, ok.” I take another sip of my drink and set it back down.

We sit in silence for a few minutes when Dan looks up at me.

“Hey Phil?” Dan looks at me.

“Yea?” I look back over at him.

“W-will you help me sleep tonight?” He looks back down at his tea.

“Um, sure. Why not.”

Dan looks up, his eyelids heavy with sleep.

“Wow, you’re tired. How about we go to bed now?”

He just nods and I help him up and he falls asleep in my arms so i pick him up and carry him to his room. I lay him down on his bed and cover him up and I lie down next to him. Before I fall asleep he lays his arm on me like a stuffed animal, and I drift into sleep.

I wake up in the morning and see he is still asleep, so I try to get out of the bed without waking him up. But, since i didn’t have my glasses on and I was still sleepy I tripped on a book and fell down.

Dan didn’t wake up though, so I got back up and went into my room to get my glasses. I put them on then went to get breakfast. I poured my cereal and tea, sat down at the table, and started eating.

When I finished, Dan came out of his room. He yawned and stretched.

“You eat already?” He asked.

“Yea, sorry”

“Nah it’s okay.” He walks over and pours cereal and sits down next to me as I check my phone. “Sorry about last night, if it was weird. But thanks, it helped to know someone else was there.” He turns to me.

I look over at his deep brown eyes again. They looked so calm, and happy. “Yea, no problem. I slept pretty well last night too.”

He goes back to eating silently and I just watch him.
