The Labyrinth is one of those movies that always soothes me, no matter what is going on in my life. The fact that Evan remembered and chose it for us to watch together tonight eases a bit of the ache in my heart, though it doesn't fully subside. We're about halfway through the movie before I realize I've been missing things because my eyes have been falling shut more and more frequently. I can't seem to stay awake after the madness of the last few days. Evan's breathing evened out a while ago too, so I'm not surprised when I lift my head to see he's fallen asleep.

Kissing his cheek softly, I quietly say "Evan, honey, I think it's time for us to go to bed."

"What? Uh, no. I'm fine. Let's finish. I just closed my eyes for a second."

Giggling, I grab the edge of the blanket to pull it off and move to stand. "You may be fine, but I'm not. Come on, we can finish it tomorrow if you want."

"Are you sure?" Groggy, he takes my outstretched hand and stands up after me. I turn the TV off and pull him towards the stairs.

"Definitely, I was falling asleep. I'd rather stretch out and get some rest." When we reach his door I pause, nervously chewing on my lip.

"Yeah, I'm ok. I was wondering if you would want to sleep in my room tonight. With me, I mean." I pause, realizing how it sounded after I said it. "I didn't mean it like that!" I rush to get the words out after I see the surprise on his face. "I just meant... I have the feeling that I'll have nightmares tonight. Brandon usually stays with me when I get like this. I can call him back if you don't want to. I'd rather it be you tonight, though."

"Of course. Anything you need. Your room, or mine?" I don't see any discomfort or tension on his face, so I take it as a good sign and let out a sigh.

"My bed is bigger. It's a king, so we'll be more comfortable there." I tug him along with our still entwined hands and into my room. It hasn't changed all that much since he last saw it, and he looks around with a smile.

"Alright, hop on in," he instructs me with a slap to my ass. I jump and turn to scowl at him, but end up laughing and pulling him by his shirt to the foot of the bed. Two can play at this game.

Instead of walking around to the side and pulling back the covers to get in, I climb up on the bed at the foot and crawl slowly to the top, making sure I sway my ass as much as possible without looking like I'm having a seizure, or heaven forbid, twerking. I've never
