Dante woke me up at three a.m., gently prodding my cheek and whispering, "Rain," repeatedly.

"What?" I asked groggily.

"I can't sleep." He said.

"Come on, then," I said, lifting up one end of the covers for him to crawl under.

He curled up next to me and put his arm around my waist.

"Are you sure it's okay for me to be in here? I mean, you know. With you and Andy back together and stuff," He said.

"Andy and I are not back together. He's just..."

"The man you've been in love with for almost ten years."

"..Yeah. That."

"And who loves you back and has for almost ten years."

"Dante?" I asked.

"Yeah?"

"Shut the fuck up."

I could hear the smile in his voice. "Merry Christmas, Rain."

"Merry Christmas, D. Now go to sleep. You know Jepharee is gonna be in here in a few hours."

Sorry it's so short. There'll be more soon. I'm not dead. I'm sorry for worrying you all. Thank you all for your concern, though. <3
