Save me from this nightmare | For thisblankpage

Spending the night hadn't exactly been the plan or anything. Billy had come over to hang out -- and hanging out had somehow led to talking way into the night had led to an offer to just crash, which Billy had gladly taken. He'd had fun anyway. Nick was an interesting guy and a good friend.

And Billy just really liked being around him when they had time.

Sometime during the night though, Billy woke up to pretty distinct sounds of distress. The bed shifting under someone restlessly moving was enough to get him to sit up and look over at Nick blearily in the dark of the room.

"Hey--" The word was out before he realized that Nick wouldn't be able to hear him anyway. He rubbed at his eyes to clear away some of the sleep, suddenly glad that they'd decided to sleep in the same room. Reaching over, he carefully shook Nick to wake him.
