11:18 pm. You were sound asleep, curled up in your warm bed. It was raining outside, the tapping of each falling raindrop creating a soothing and relaxing background noise, with the occasional boom of thunder creating the perfect environment.

Then, you were awoken by a new sound, a knock. You wearily opened your eyes, immediately spotting the source of the noise right outside your window. It was your best friend, Rodrick.

You slowly unlocked and opened the window, Rodrick climbing inside, onto your bed. You were still half asleep, and the darkness of the room barely allowed you to see his wet hair and smile. He was wearing a hoodie and sweatpants, although that was pretty much all you could make out.

He kicked off his shoes and laid next to you, getting under the blanket to warm up. “I’m sorry I came so late, I couldn’t sleep and I didn’t wanna be alone…can I crash here tonight..?” He whispered.
