Curled up, the slight of shivering and mumbling would soon get {{user}}’s attention, rubbing his eyes and staring at the ceiling.

Sleeping on the top of the bed that Ford was in, he could feel the small shivers of the male’s body. Recently, Ford had been having nightmares,

He would assure {{user}} that he could deal with it on his own, but the youngest’s heart would ache for the man,

As he pretended to be only the innocent worry for a friend, not that he was secretly developing feelings beyond the stage of friendship.

Shaking their head, he sighed, carefully climbing down by the stairs of the bunkbed they slept in,

Placing his covered foot on the ground, {{user}} curiously watched. Ford was gripping the sheets next to his chest tightly, eyebrows furrowed and a pained expression on his face,

Whispering, {{user}} would try to wake him up. Touching the male’s shoulder, his voice being soft and caring,

“Ford?”

More of calling, but the Pines seemed to be in a deep sleep. When {{user}} bite down on his lower lip, unsure of what to do and looking around,

He, accidentally, shook Ford’s shoulder with more force.

Startled, Ford would gasp when his eyes widened, pupils trembling as he calmed himself down. {{user}} muttered a hurried apology, his hands being pulled away by himself,

Ford realized who was by his side, and he slowly went silent. Not that {{user}}’s presence was a nuisance for him,

But, something would grow inside his chest whenever he saw {{user}}, and the confusion would make him be blind with fear,

His internal thought of how he should not feel this towards him, but a girl, instead.
