POV Rich

It was already 1am when Michael was still crying a bit, which was actually unexpected because I never thought someone was able to cry about three hours straight.
A bit of time later, his crying stopped or got more quiet through what I recognised that he fell asleep.

I smirked a bit and just laid down next to him because I was, to be honest, quiet exhausted and still shocked from the things which happened today.

The next time I looked at my watch on my phone it was almost 4am and I haven't even slept a tiny bit, still caught up in my thoughts, I startled when I heard a gasp and something like a high pitched whining.
''R-rich?'' Michael asked and I looked at him.
''Yeah?'' I asked back and recognised his teary eyes and completely exhausted face.
''I can't sleep anymore, all of the things and Jeremy and I don't know what, it's messing with my mind, there are too many thoughts too sleep.'' Michael said quietly the exact same problem I had.
''Thame(same).'' I lisped and was about to slap myself again but Michael pulled my hand when he recognised what was about to happen.
''Don't you dare!'' He laughed a little and I rolled my eyes but grinned back at him.
After a few minutes of silence, I decided to say the obvious thing.
''It's 4am though, we really should sleep.'' I sighed and looked over to Michael again.
''But I can't, I don't know how it is with you but-'' before he was able to continue I shook my head and interrupted him.
''Give it a try, tomorrow is some weird meeting in school where we need to be fine.''
Michael frowned and turned around so that he was lying into my direction instead of on his back like before.
''Do we have to go?'' Michael asked and I laughed.
''Obviously!'' I grinned and smiled at him.
''Thanks Rich,'' while saying this, he smirked a little and looked away.
''For what?''
''For being here.''
''Where else should I be?'' I laughed and pointed at my bandages even though it was probably too dark for being able to be seen.
''True,'' Michael sighed and I felt bad for some reason.
''I'm sorry if that sounded mean, it's not like I wish I'd be somewhere else.'' I tried to save the situation but failed.
''I know you'd like to be somewhere else, that's normal.''
I shook my head again and sat up.
''That's not true, if I could decide, I'd rather be here with you over a year than at my home for one day.'' I said honest and looked around in the darkness where I wasn't even able to see my own hand infront of me.
''Really?'' I heard Michael close next to me quietly asking.
''Yeah.'' I felt how a bit of tiredness overcame me and I laid back again.
''Why? What's wrong that you don't wanna go home?''

Should I really tell him?
Fuck fuck fuck

''It's my dad..he-, let's say he isn't the nicest.'' I just answered and felt how my throat was complelty dry because of what I groped after my water bottle but wasn't able to find it.

Dammit!

''Oh my- does he...does he hurt you?'' Michael asked and I felt how he put his hand on my shoulder.
''I don't wanna talk about it.'' I sighed and heard how Michael gasped after air.
''I'm so sorry Rich, can I- can I help you somehow?'' He asked worriedly and I sighed again.
''No, probably not.''
''Can I help you at least to feel better?'' Michael continued asking.
''I don't know, probabaly not, maybe yes, man I don't know I never needed help or more never had help though, no one cared you know.'' I answered truly and felt a warm hug around me.
''I care!'' Michael said and I grinned a bit.
''Thanks,'' I whispered and turned around.
''I won't detach from you tonight oh no, I feel way too bad to do that and I care way too much for doing that!'' Michael said and hugged me again.
''Why?'' I asked and blushed a bit.
''Cause I care.'' He laughed a little and I grinned.
''If you sleep now I might accept that.'' I laughed as well and felt his breathing in my neck which gave me a shiver.
''I'll think about it.'' He whispered sleepy and I closed my eyes.

__________Time skip next day__________

POV Michael

The moment I woke up, the first thing I recognised was Rich who was literally lying in my arms whereupon I blushed a lot.

What did even happen last night? Yesterday in general.

I moved carefully, trying to not wake Rich up while grabbing after my phone to check what I missed.
''Oh my lord.'' I whispered to myself when I read with what I got spammed.

Delievered 10:03am

''Damn.'' I said a bit too loud because not even a second later, Rich muttered something and opened his eyes sleepy which looked, not gonna lie, kinda cute.
''Sorry I didn't mean to wake you up,'' I apologized and looked at him.
''Hmpf.'' He muffled and nestled himself against me, obviously still half asleep because not even a moment later he stopped moving and slept again.
I blushed again a bit and focused fastly at my phone again.
