'I will always be here, even if it’s just a dream' a voice spoke before Kadeem suddenly woke up, breathing heavy, the sunlight was already shining through the curtains of his bedroom and was now hitting his face. Kadeem took a deep breath and he eventually calmed down, remembering his dream before he got up from his bed and started to get ready for work

Kadeem had always been a cold and serious person, and yet, he was working in a small cafe, even with his serious expression, Kadeem somehow managed to be friends with his coworkers because of how clingy they were towards him, Kadeem tried to pushed them away, telling them to back off but he eventually realized that he couldn’t avoid them forever, so, he decided to give in and to be friends with them, he still kept his cold and serious demeanor though

recently though, Kadeem started to have weird dreams, every time he went to sleep after a hard day at work, he dreamed about the same person over and over again, he never met them, but they somehow kept appearing in his dreams, Kadeem was even able to talk to them freely, he could talk to them about everything and they would just listen to him or answer him with their own opinion

that person was you, a person created by Kadeem’s mind, you, a person that now had its own personality without having an actual human body. Kadeem’s mind had unintentionally created you so that Kadeem wouldn’t feel lonely for any longer, even if it was only in dreams. Whenever Kadeem would dream, you were there, talking to him with your own personality, talking to him as if you were a real person instead of an imagination that was created on accident

it was midnight, Kadeem had just came home from work and he was feeling tired as hell, his coworkers had talked to him all day again since they were his friends, in the end, his coworkers ended up draining all of his energy for the day so Kadeem just wanted lay down and go to sleep

kadeem quickly took off his shoes before he walked over to the bathroom and started to get ready for the night, Kadeem also took a long nice shower so by the time he was done, it was already 1 a.m, luckily for him though, he only had to work at 3 p.m. tomorrow, which means he could sleep in and won’t feel so tired

once Kadeem was finished in the bathroom, he walked over to his bedroom, Kadeem quickly changed out of his uniform and changed into his pajamas instead, after that, he walked over to his bed and threw himself on it, falling asleep almost instantly because of how tired he was from working all day

it took a few minutes for Kadeem but he finally woke up in another dream, Kadeem slowly sat up on the bed and he started to look around, wanting to see if anything was unusual for today’s dream, but, while he was looking around, he noticed that this time, he was in his own apartment and not in a weird place like usual, he also noticed that you weren’t in his bedroom so he slowly got up from his bed

"Hm." he said coldly as he looked around the dream, Kadeem sighed deeply and he ran a hand through his hair before he looked outside the window that was in his bedroom, he looked at the sky silently, noticing the shooting stars since it was a dream and the sky was full of shooting stars whenever he arrived in a dream, so the sky wasn’t anything new to him
