song : cool with you by her's










The blankets felt too hot, the air felt too cold, the room was too bright - I could think of a million reasons as to why I couldn't sleep, but none of them could possibly justify my frustration.

I could feel my body shift against the sheets, my mind basically begging to find comfort

This wasn't a new thing. I couldn't even remember the last time that I had slept a full night, let alone sleep at all if I was being honest, but that didn't make each and every sleepless night melt away any faster.

Beside me Karl slept peacefully, his chest moving up and down softly as content snores pushed past his flushed lips. I almost envied his ability to sleep, i wanted nothing more than to give in, to feel the sleep come over my restless mind but it felt impossible

Insomnia.

I find myself turning once more, my legs desperately moving to shove the uncomfortable cotton blankets from my legs as I sit up. The room seemed so much darker now, moonlit shadows dance across the walls and the faint sound of crickets could be heard from just beyond the window. It was almost mockingly peaceful, the quiet made me sick, i wished i could escape it

Crawling to the edge of the bed, i find my head rested against my knee, my heavy eyes trained on the blowing curtains

"y/n?"
My heart nearly fell from my body, my neck snapping to look behind me

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

The boys eyes furrow, a look of concern leaving a deep feeling of guilt in the pit of my stomach

"No- no, I just wasn't expecting you to be awake"

He pushes his body away from the stickly sheets, his hands raised above his head as a small yawn leaves his lips. I watch as he turns to light the candle on the bedside table, the warm smell of cedar filling my senses

"I turned to cuddle, but you weren't there- i couldn't go back to sleep"

I could feel my heart begin to kindle, a small flame igniting against the dark room

"I was having a hard time sleeping, sorry hun"

He shakes his head in disagreement almost immediately, his body resting against the headboard as his eyes glow in the dim room. A frown pulls at the corners of his lips, his hands reaching out to urge me closer to him

"C'mere"

I find myself in his arms, my head rested on his chest and our legs tangled together. His fingertips grace against my skin, the feeling leaving goosebumps and butterflies swirling inside of me.

Only the faint sound of him humming could be heard amongst our soft breathing

"We don't have to know,
Anyone at all, Anyone at all"

The familiar sound allowed the spark in my heart to burst into a flame, Karl's sweet voice calling my nerves

"Draw the blinds back slow
Sun fades in our room, Two begin to bloom "

His voice was hardly above a whisper but it was oh so sweet. The weights of my eyes seem to become heavier, his words slurred together with the remainder of sleep on his lips, though the sound only made me swoon harder for the boy

"Is that cool with you, that I wanna call your name"

His words began to grow muffled, fingers brushed through my hair softly and the whispers of wind turn into a calm breeze

I could feel it pulling me under, the warm embrace of sleep like a blanket over my tired mind. Our bodies mold together as the boy pulls me closer, his touch like the perfect cure to my restlessness

and with another deep breath the world is dark, the sound of Karl's voice fades to nothing, but a sweet whisper

"sweet dreams, I love you y/n"












































THE AUTHOR SPEAKS :
time to overshare on the internet!!
I can't stop thinking about my freshman year crush :( he took me to see cavetown and we would just walk around the city together and ughhh I hate when you find the right person at the wrong time :(((( and now I feel like even if we do talk again, I'm not who he would want?? Like I wanna be perfect for him, but I'm so scared of messing up and I know he could do so much better gshxbsjs

Anyways, I hope you have a lovely night :]
gonna go cry and probably overthink life
