As the blanket was draped over him, Charles let out a sigh and went back to sleep. It took him a little more than half an hour to slowly start waking up. He sighed, slowly opening his eyes. He was a little lost for a moment... because he thought that he dreamed it all. That he died. That he spent his afterlife with a boy named Edwin, and falling in love with him.

Charles felt a cold sensation sink in his stomach as he thought for a second that he had he had to get out of bed and face his father. Or his schoolmates. After all the adventures he went on with Edwin. But then a movement caught his eye and he turned his head just to see Edwin already hard at work.

Charles's eyes widened as he grabbed at Edwin's leg.

"You're okay? You didn't have a nightmare, right?" he asked, his words still slurring a little from sleep.
