Not at all

Reggie's POV

When I walked into the studio this evening, Luke was lying face down on the ground.

"You okay?" I ask getting a little worried. Why is he just lying there? Is he alright?

"Go away" He groans, his voice being muffled by the floor. "I mean, if you want, but please leave, but only if you want to. But seriously f*ck off, love you. "

I know him well enough to know he shouldn't be left alone right now. I join him on the floor, lying on my back next to him. "What's up?" I ask as I lay next to him, our shoulders touching.

He rolls over so he's now lying on his back and he turns his head to face me. "The chairs." He says flatly, referring to the chairs on the ceiling. By the look in his eyes he is on the brink of tears.

"No I mean what's up with you?" I ask. "Why are you laying in the floor?"

"Well why are you laying on the floor?" He asks back.

"I asked you first." I say.

"The couch wasn't comfortable." He says. "Your turn."

"You were laying in the floor and I thought you might be lonely so I joined you." I say. "You okay?"

"Thriving." He says.

"Well this must be some kind of backwards thriving because you don't look thriving." I say.

"Backwards?" He asks confused.

"Yeah like the opposite of thriving, or thriving in a bad way." I explain. It totally makes sense.

"That makes no sense."

"Yes it does." I say.

"No...no I'm pretty sure thriving backwards isn't a thing." He says.

"It is!" I insist.

"Okay fine, if you insist." He says.

"So, what's the matter?" I ask.

"I don't know, nothing." He says. "I'm sorry, I- I'm acting like this for no reason and it's annoying I'm sorry."

"Hey, don't apologize." I say. "Is there anything I can do?" I wish there is something I can do to cheer him up at least a little bit.

"I don't know." Luke says. "C-can you just stay here for a little bit? If it's not a problem?"

"Yeah of course man." I say. "It's not a problem at all."

"Thanks." Luke says. He snuggles closer to me and I let him rest his head on my shoulder. I wrap my arms around him and we lay on the floor in silence. After about thirty minutes Luke's sound asleep.

I carefully move his head off of me so I can get up. I grab a pillow off the couch and gently lay his head on it and cover us with a blanket. I cuddle back up with him and let sleep take over.

I may never figure out what was wrong that day with Luke, but I was happy to just be there for him.
