Ross ²³ SM

Ross had the house to himself, as his parents had gone to another city two hours away to meet up with some old friends they hadn't seen for a long time.

They planned to return that same night, but something happened to the car, forcing them to spend the night away.

Although Ross didn't mind the setback too much, he took the opportunity to organize a sleepover with his closest friends: Robert, Roy, and Rebecca.

They had a great time that night: they played video games, watched movies, and played truth or dare. The usual. But they soon started to feel tired, so they decided to go to sleep. Ross went to his room, and the three of them went to the guest room.

There was a bunk bed and an air mattress ready for use. Robert immediately claimed the top bunk, while Roy took the bottom one, leaving Rebecca with the air mattress, which wasn't bad. However, Rebecca kept tossing and turning that night, unable to get a wink of sleep, so they finally decided to go to the kitchen to get something to eat to kill time and get some sleep. Rebecca got off the air mattress, stretching a bit as they quietly slipped out into the hallway without waking either of the boys who were asleep in the room. As Rebecca walked down the hallway, she saw the back of a familiar hat peeking out from behind the sofa as she approached the living room. It was Ross; it was clear he couldn't sleep either. He sat in silence, clearly lost in thought, as he leaned back on the sofa.* *floorboard *

• Squeak! *

• Ross quickly reached out towards you, looking at you with those tender eyes. Realizing that you were the only one there, his body relaxed and a faint smile reappeared on his face. *

—Oh, hello, friend... I'm glad I'm not alone... But why are you still awake? —he asked in a barely audible voice.*
