REPOST: Sigh, I accidentally put this in my own journal instead of the drabble community, sorry!
Title: Midnight Author: Xie Timeline: 218 Pairing: Ben and Michael Condom: I really should give it to Michael, but it's for Justin, as always
He’d fallen asleep in the chair. Some people look younger when they sleep, but Michael always looks more grown up to me with his eyes closed, breathing slowly, his face half-buried in his arm.
He’s sitting just out of my reach, but I pretend I’m holding his hand, that his legs are twisted up with mine. I smile a little, and imagine Michael’s lying next to me in bed, and we’re not in this cold hospital room, in the middle of the night, hoping for the best, trying not to think about the worst.
