Prologue

He had appeared like he wanted to say something, the words that seemed to not have fallen out quite yet; as he stood there from behind me, staring continuously at my back as I pretended to be deep asleep.

I gulped down my saliva that was pooling in my mouth as I waited for him to speak, wondering when, or what he had on his mind.

I moved my eyes sharply, pin pointing the corner of my side table that was stationed close to the bed, making sure not to turn my head as I did so, in order to check the time of the clock without giving myself away. First, minutes passed, then hours, but still nothing, …. he just stood there, not moving, just looking.

Feeling his eyes, and presence in a place that was more distanced than what I was used to, gave room to many different uncomfortable feelings. But as uncomfortable as they were, it still wasn't enough to fight my tired eyes as I began to close them.

The next day, I woke up again and rolled over to look beside me. He was there, but this time sleeping peacefully, breathing in and out. I wasn't sure when he had crawled in and finally decided to rest, but a strange feeling of anxiety creeped up from the pit of my stomach, as I once more looked over his face.

Maybe I should of asked him?

Maybe I shouldn't of just tried to play it off as if I wasn't conscience when I was.

Not knowing what thoughts plagued his mind was gnawing at me. Just what was that exactly last night?

I had thought that kind of thing at first, once, sometime ago, maybe a month or two, but from that time; nights like that repeated thereafter quite often, as I still found myself, with a body full of tension, unable to turn around and face him with the questions I had piling up ever since.

Just one sound, one breath, anything really, anything would of been fine.

"What are you doing awake?"

"Why are you just standing there?"

"Is something wrong?"

"You look a little strange like that."

Anything would of been fine, but as I learnt in these moments when I tried to muster up the courage to do so, I was a coward.

A/N: I'm posting my intros for my fics I'm going to be working on. Thought I should post just to get me in the mood to ya know write, the presssuuree.

But I'll be busy with my fanfiction for a while. lel.
