And I'll Be With You When You Dream

[violentenvies]

[It's Sunday night! Boy, today sure has been a day, hasn't it?? Memories returned, Father's Day Gifts given, and Benjamin sure had a Time, didn't he?

Looks like it's time to find ways to cope.

Thus, the bed frames from Broadhurst dorm are being worked on being taken apart by Varian while the mattresses are becoming The New Floor.

Additionally, there's plenty to eat and drink, what with the hot pot provided by Rina, cookies that might just taste a bit burnt from Farrah, apples from Orpheus, more delicious potatoes from Maya, as well as sandwiches by Cassandra. There is also quite the variety of pie, from caramel, to bittersweet chocolate and strawberries, and several other varieties from the vending machine. Finally, there's popcorn brought in by Spongebob. If someone wants a drink, there is some delicious hot cocoa, provided by Elsa, as well as the tea brought in by Discord. There's also a variety of drinks from the vending machines.

Everyone's invited of course. There are a variety of games happening, and there's even a TV that's been wheeled down from the Library. So bring your pajamas, whatever they happen to be, and settle in for a sleepover!]

[Benjamin leans into the closeness, so that their shoulders touch, fifteen years of touch-starvation making the last two weeks feel like a distant memory.]

...This doesn't feel real. That I'm sitting here. [That I'm safe.]

[as Benjamin leans in, Salieri will shift, then, lifting his arm so it's around as much of the other man's shoulders as he can get it, encouraging him to lean closer

He frowns, then, still concerned]

...it is, and you are. But...that dissonance can be incredibly overwhelming.

[He nods, numbly. He's still warm to the touch, but not burning with fever like he was before.]

Yesterday was fifteen years ago. But it feels just as real as the dream I had. I... [He shakes his head, unable to put it into words, and just leans against the stability of his friend.]

[violentenvies]

...It's alright. Just take your time. [he shifts his hold a bit to better support Benjamin as he leans into him] I'll stay with you.

[barberic]

...Thank you, my friend.

[violentenvies]

Of course. [quietly] You've been there for me this entire time, Benjamin...how could I not do the same for you?
