Kyle was slightly wary, though wanted to make sure Caleb was okay, “Um, y-you had a nightmare and when you woke up you were acting really strange… telling me not to-to look at you. You wouldn’t tell me what was wrong and you said you couldn’t explain it and then you wouldn’t tell me who would and… and your eyes went a different colour and then you had a seizure…”
He frowned and rubbed his aching head. What could have been a quick look of realization crossed his face but it disappeared as quickly as it had come. “I don’t..remember any of that.”
Kyle didn't know if he quite believed him, "You don't?"
He shook his head before resting it on Kyle’s shoulder. “It was a really bad nightmare….” he said quietly.
Kyle reached up and ran a hand through his hair, "Do you.. wanna talk about it?"
He shook his head. He gently wrapped his arms around Kyle’s waist and hid his face in Kyle’s chest. It was extremely child-like for him, but he just needed to feel safe. He breathed in Kyle’s scent, which honestly did help him relax. “It’s always the same nightmare…just this one was a bit different. Normally I wake up right after all the bad stuff, but this time it was like I was trapped!..or something…”
He held Caleb close, resting his chin atop of his, "It was just a nightmare, you're okay now."
“I know…I just always feel like it’s gonna happen again.”
"I'll be here if you do, I always will."
He smiled a bit, because hearing Kyle say that he’d always be there made him feel safe, even though deep inside he felt like it was an empty promise. He felt that Kyle deserved someone normal, and that was something Caleb knew he’d never be able to provide for Kyle. But instead of voicing all of these concerns he just ruffled Kyle’s hair and said “could you be any more perfect?”
Kyle let out a soft giggle, blushing lightly, "Dunno, because I'm far from perfect." He kissed Caleb's cheek.
He gasped “no! You’re the most perfect guy in the entire world.” He said, leaning over and planting small kisses on Kyle’s face.
Kyle blushed deeper at the kisses, shaking his head, “I am not!”
“You aaaaare! You’re the most perfect and most stunning thing I’ve ever seen. No one can compete. Well except maybe me of course.” He said the last part teasingly.
Kyle rolled his eyes, pushing him lightly to try and move away, "Such a flirt."
“You know you love that about me!” He said with a smile, giving Kyle some space.
Kyle giggled, flopping back onto the bed, "That's true."
“Of course it’s true! I said it! And we both know I’m always right.” He chuckled, getting up. “I’m gonna go shower, you can join me if you want.”
Kyle sat up and smiled, blushing lightly, “Can I?”
He smiled as well. “Yup. Come on.” And with that he walked into the bathroom, knowing Kyle would follow.
Kyle hopped off the bed, following after Caleb. When he reached him, he hugged the taller male from behind.
Caleb smiled at the feeling. “What are you being all lovey-dovey for?” He asked, but it was clear that he liked it.
He shrugged, hiding his face in his back, “I dunno. Do you want me to stop?”
He shook his head. “Feels nice” He said simply.
Kyle smiled a little, holding Caleb a little tighter.
Caleb just let them stay like that for a few minutes before he freed himself from Kyle’s embrace. “Come on into the shower, where I promise I will give you as much affection as you want. But I seriously stink so we gotta shower.”
Kyle pouted but nodded, "Mkay." He shut the bathroom door behind the two of them, sighing softly.
Caleb kissed his cheek and went to turn on the shower. Once all the shit was ready he got in.
(Very accurate description of getting in the shower there lmao)
Kyle followed shortly after, stepping under the warm water with a happy sigh.
((Ikr lol
Caleb rested his arms on Kyle’s shoulders with a content sigh. “This is nice” he observed quietly.
