Chapter 6 : Sleep Problems

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

"AH!" I swung my body forward awaking from my sleep, Feeling sweet running down my forehead. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and looked around noticing that it was still dark. "Arch another stupid nightmare" I grunted rubbing my right hand down the right side of my face, I reached for my iPhone from the table and pressed the stand-by button. The time was 2:00am, I put the iPod away and lay my body back on the sofa getting back to some shut eye.

30 minutes has passed... and I'm still awake, I've been doing nothing but rolling back and forth trying to get some shut eye. I decided to just give up trying and sat up on the sofa, huffing and puffing for a minute. I was starting to get thirsty, so I went over to the kitchen and grabbed a cold Irn-Bru can from the fridge then went back to the sofa. I opened the can and took a few sips before putting it on the table, I laid myself on the sofa thinking what could I do since I'm more than likely to be up all night.

I heard a door open and I immediately put the blanket over myself and pretended to sleep, I don't know why I did it, it was just a force of habit. When I was still living at my mum and dads house I would mostly stay up playing games like 1 o'clock in the morning than when I hear my mum or dad coming I switch my T.V. off and pretend to sleep on the bed until they are gone (it worked 90% of the time). Anyway, I heard clopping sounds from the bedroom, it sounds like it's making its way towards the sofa.

' It's properly just Luna gonna wake me up for something ' I thought.

I was able to see a blue glow through my closed eyelids Luna must be standing next to me, I was expecting to be poked or getting small shoves but it was neither both. I felt a hoof on the back of my hand that was in front of my body and then I heard Luna sighing.

"We wish our subjects were like thou, For years we have been in our sister's shadow they show appreciation in our sister's sun while our moon receives none".

' What the heck is she talking about? ' Nothing but thoughts were racing through my mind. Sister's sun? Her moon?

Luna continued "When we met thou. Thou gives us a chance to get to know us even when you were scared at first, but when we try to know our subjects they back off running with fear remembering as the nightmare we were before". She released her hoof from my hand and I slightly opened my eyes looking towards Luna, who was sitting on the floor looking down sniffing with sadness in her eyes.

"Luna is that you, are you alright?", I said half asleep switching my table light on.

"Gavin thou is awake" She stopped that blue light glow on her horn and was surprised by my unexpected 'waking'. "We are sorry for waking thou up".

I lifted my hand up "It's ok. Remember I told you if you need me during the night just wake me up" Luna just nodded with a small smile. "So what's the problem?".

"We could not sleep, " she said. ' Well, that makes two of us ' I thought.

"Your Home Sick?" I asked. Luna nodded with a sad face. "Don't worry, you'll be back in your world someday, just you wait and see" I smiled hoping that would cheer her up. To a certain extent it did cheer her up, but I can tell she was still upset. I'm not good at talking to girls never mind trying to cheer one up, but I didn't like seeing her like this.

What I did next was either stupid or the right thing to do. Without thinking clearly, I hopped off my sofa then walked towards Luna, kneeled down so we were at the same eye level then I gave her a friendly hug. I knew Luna didn't see that coming I could tell when she didn't hug back. I broke the embrace and looked at her, her face was filled with confusion and... did I see her blushing there? "Luna, as your only friend in this world, I promise you that I will do my best to get you back home" I promised.

"Thou... thou will?" She asked.

"Yes, " I then stood up holding my left hand up "Cross my heart" I used my right hand to cross my heart.

Now this time it was my turn to get the unexpected.

"Ooof!" I let out a breath of air as I was tackled to the ground by my Blue horned friend. She put her fore hooves around my neck and was leaning her head on my chest.

"Thank thou...thank thou so much Gavin!" She sobbed with tears running down on her face, but these weren't sad tears, these were tears filled with hope. "Thou really are a true friend anypony could ask for".

Like I said... I was unexpected by this, my body was stone stiff filled with nervousness, but that didn't stop me from slowly wrapping my arms around her. Her fur felt so smooth and felt like as if I was hugging a big stuffed cuddly toy I leaned my head on top of her head, thus avoiding that 12inch sharp poker of hers. I then started rubbing her back softly and gently, she leaned more into the embrace with tears turned to sniffles then seconds later calm breathing.

About 5 minutes have passed and we're still in the embrace, it was good in the first 2 minutes but now it's getting kind of weird. I don't even know if she was still awake. ' Well... this is getting awkward... ' I lost my train of thought as I heard the sound of soft snoring from her, I looked down on her and she was... sleeping?.

' Really... ', I deadpanned. ' Hey, don't mind me, I'll just lay here on the hard floor while you lie comfortably on top of me '. We both had problems sleeping and she gets to be the lucky one getting it. I have enough problems trying to get some sleep myself, I don't need another one which is getting her off me. ' To wake or not to wake ' I thought to myself. I looked back at her I couldn't help but chuckle, I don't know if it was just me but she looks cute while being asleep. Wake or no wake ehhh... Fuck It! I'll just carry her back to the bed, that way I'll not have to wake her up, I mean she also had trouble sleeping and now she's got it. It also means it won't become an awkward situation. Ok, lets get started so the first thing I have to do was to obviously get her off me so I what I did was move my left arm behind her and gently grabbed her left shoulder and slowly moved her off me. Her body has leaning on her sides facing the other way from me I then started moving my right arm under her tail and hind legs. I slowly rise myself with Luna in my arms and made my way to the bedroom, Unknown to me Luna had awoken she opened her sleepy eyes and looked up at me, noticing I was carrying her she didn't care the fact I was carrying her she then just shut her eyes again and leaned her head back on my chest. I turned sideways and walking inside the room avoid bashing me or Luna while passing the door. I went to one of the sides of the bed and gingerly placed her on the mattress, she moved getting into a comfy position I slid the bed covers over her then made my way back to the door. The door then closed itself and I looked at the handle as it was covered in blur aura I turned to face Luna and saw her staring at me. The cover over one side.

"Gavin... would thou please... join me?" She asked sheepishly.

I stood there speechless. Here I am standing with a face full of red getting asked to sleep with a girl NO scratch that a Pony. I really hope she means just sleep or else I'm walking out the door with no response. "Ehhh-" I then scratched the back of my head "- Wouldn't I be invading your personal space" Did I forget to mention that I'm only wearing my top and boxers.

Luna levitation was used on me as I was lifted up onto the bed and rolled the covers over me. She then snuggled at my side and smiled at me.

"Thy are not invading anything, We are just asking if thou would like to join with us for the night. Thou will stay... will you not?" she said, staring at me with those beautiful cyan eyes of hers.

I looked away thinking what I should do, it wasn't right, but at the same time it felt right... Can't explain. I sucked up all my thoughts.

"You know what" I said, turning back to her giving a smile and curled my left arm around her, leaning down. "Of course I'll stay. how could I say no to that".

Luna laughed softly, then put one of her hooves across my chest and closed her eyes. The slow breathing coming from her told me she had drifted off quickly to the dreamland. I then closed my eyes but a nagging thought came to my mind.

'This just ain't right' Was repeating over and over again in my mind. I'm trying my best to ignore it as I'm really tired and I just want to sleep, I don't know why I'm getting so frustrated over this. If Luna doesn't mind and wants me here then I shouldn't be complaining about it. Whatever makes her happy, makes me happy, as she has only me in this world to help her out.
