Shupple
“Sorry... I didn’t mean to wake you up...” Mear told me as he held the doorknob, ready to close the door at any moment.
I just stared at him for barely a moment before my heart jumped a little. That was weird... Oh yeah... What I told him in the... nightmare....
“It’s fine, Mear,” I said after a moment shaking my head. “Besides....” I left off, realizing I shouldn't probably ask him about what I told him....
“Hm?” Mear inquired, taking a step into my room.
“Never mind,” I said after a moment, thinking it all through again. “Anyways.... Did you have that ‘dream’ too?” I asked Mear, wondering what he thought of the dream issue since it seemed everybody was doubting or something like that....
Mear nodded a little and entered my room, and then closed the door, leaning against the wall and letting out a deep, relaxed sigh.
“It wasn’t a dream,” Mear told me after a moment of silence and I just nodded. At least he thought the same thing as me...
“Ya... true... I already took care of the remnants this morning," I told Mear.
“Ah... They’re at peace then.”
“As much as they can be,” I told Mear, realizing after a moment of what I meant by "they." God, I'm really slow...
“It was a strange night,” Mear said as he completely relaxed onto the wall and closed his eyes. “Do you want to go down and get breakfast?”
Breakfast? I was kind of hungry... But it made me wonder if I was up to it or not... I could try... and then maybe....
"Okay...." I left off as I slowly slid off my bed and didn't stumble. I slowly followed Mear out of my room, and flipped my hood over my head. I can't believe I didn't do that earlier...
Things were a little silent between us as we got to the main room and started to get breakfast. I just took a powered donut and a little fruit, and Mear got mainly the same. We sat down at one of the empty tables, and before I took a bite, I thought of bringing up what I told Mear in that "dream." That I liked him... Really liked him....
"Um... Mear?" I brought up nervously and Mear looked up.
"Yeah?"
"Um.... You know what, just never mind...." I chuckled nervously really badly. Why could I ask him? What was with me?
"What is it, Shupple?" I looked down nervously.
I wonder if I could ask him.... but I felt too nervous.
"Mhm...."
