you are on a school trip and are staying in a hotel.

you have to go into pairs but the teachers are picking for you. and, since you're the luckiest person ever, you got paired with your enemy. ugh.

you walk up to the room with him, already insulting one another.

and it just gets better.

there's only one bed in the room.

there's a sofa though and you make your enemy sleep on it.

--

its finally night time and you're lying in bed, trying to sleep but ultimately failing due to lack of comfort.

you can tell aaron isnt sleeping either.

you both just lay there, silent and staring at the ceiling.

until you finally speak up.

"are you awake?" you ask despite knowing the answer already.

"yea. why are you?" he asks.

"im not comfy"

he sat up so that he can see you.

"how? you're the one with the bed." he said, clearly annoyed.

you sit up too.

"i dont know, im just not. why cant you sleep?" you ask back.

"im not comfortable either but that makes sense for me since this sofa is way too small and way too uncomfortable." hes still annoyed.

"come and sleep here then." you say after a few moments of silence.

you just stare at each other for another while.

"what?" he eventually says.

"i cant sleep. you cant sleep. neither of us are comfortable. maybe it'll help. it'll only be one night. we'd never talk about it again or tell anyone." you explain.

he stood up from his spot on the sofa and slowly made his way over to you.

he laid down next to you and you both face opposite ways.

but right before you fall asleep, you feel arms wrap around your waist.
