The Devils Spawn

The Devils Spawn Part 8

I climb that stairs to my room and climb into my bed which seems a lot colder now without him next to me. I sigh and rest my head on my pillow and look next to me where Tony would usually sleep. I put my hand on the bed where his body would lay. I move my head and rest it on his pillow and inhale the smell of him, his cologne. I close my eyes and keep inhaling his smell as the darkness slowly starts to take over my body. In seconds I’m falling into a deep sleep.

It only seemed like a few minutes ago I fell sleep but realistically it was a few hours ago and it’s now morning. “Danny are you awake?” I hear a soft voice whisper almost as if they didn’t want me to answer them. I don’t reply and feel the bed dip a little on my left side and I know exactly who it is but I try to resist the urge to smile and open my eyes. “Sleep a little longer, I’m here now” Tony whispers as he gently pulls me body as close as possible to his body. As if out of instinct I cuddle closer to his body loving how his warmth and smell envelopes me. I feel him carefully lifting my hand and lacing our finger together and kissing the back of my hand as he hums the tune to ‘Stay with me’ by Sam Smith, I know that song is about a one night stand and he knows that too but its more or less the name of the song that has meaning to him. He doesn’t want me to leave him, he wants to stay with him and that’s why he is humming it.

Obviously I fell back to sleep while listening to him hum songs next to me because when I stir awake, I turn over to nuzzle into Tony’s chest only to land on an empty bed. Maybe it was a really vivid dream and I thought he was here with me this morning, it must have been my mind playing tricks on me. I open my eyes and look around me for any signs of him being here but I don’t find any, nothing has been touched or moved and nothing is on the floor that shouldn’t be there. Surprisingly my house is extremely quiet which isn’t normal on the weekends, I swing my legs from my bed and smile as I see I’m wearing the top he left me the other day. I creep down the stairs when I’m hit by the most heavenly voice and smell at the same time. I stand on the stairs and listen to the heavenly voice singing ‘A Sky Full of Stars’ by Coldplay as the smell of pancakes and bacon hits my nose and makes my mouth water uncontrollably.

I walk a little further down and see Tony is the one who is singing and I don’t want to stop him, ever. I walk down the steps and into the kitchen where he is making the breakfast. My parents are nowhere to be seen but I’m glad of that. He still hasn’t seen me and is still singing his heart out. I smile to myself and walk up behind him wrapping my small arms around his waist and resting my head against his back “morning” I kiss his back. He jumps a little making me laugh.

He places his hand over his heart “Holy crap Danny, I thought you’d still be asleep” he looks at me with a shocked expression on his face.

I shake my head “No I woke up when I noticed you weren’t next to me and I thought it might have been a vivid dream and I just imagined you there with me” I tell him.
