Chapter 8: Sleepy Time
"Are you sure this is okay?" I asked, climbing in the plushy bed in Ludwig's room-- AKA the furniture store.
"Yeah, I don't sleep anymore, so it's fine." Ludwig stated.
"Okay..." I kicked off my boots and climbed under the comforter,"But, what if zombies get in?"
"I'll smell them, and chase them off." he said.
"But..." I looked at my hands.
"(Name), I won't let any other zombies get you, I promise." he smiled reassuringly.
I nodded, then chewed my bottom lip,"Will you...lie with me...?"
He seemed a little taken aback by my request. I needed to lose this whole innocent act. I was supposed to be a courageous and strong leader, not a sappy weakling! But...I felt afraid. I just felt like I needed someone to watch over me, in case something bad happened. Ugh, I must've sounded so childish.
"I-I'm sorry I- you don't have to-"
"No, it's okay, I shouldn't leave you alone anyways." he said, climbing in next to me.
I felt as if a great weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I felt...safe.
A ghost of a smile dusted my lips,"Thank you."
He waved his hand dismissively and pulled the covers over my body,"Sleep. You'll need it."
I nodded and shut my heavy eyelids. I didn't know how long it had been since I last slept. All I knew was that this bed was plush, cool, soft, and I would sleep great...
Before I fell asleep, I felt Ludwig touching my hair softly. I didn't mind, it helped me fall asleep faster.
