Rainbowdash's POV

"Aaah! I'm so tired!" I groaned and layed down on the couch. "Its ten pm" Soarin pointed out looking at the clock. "Yea well good night" I said.

"Your sleeping already?!" He asked panicked written in his face. "Eeyup" I answeres and then tried to close my eyes, my back facing him. But lemme tell ya, this couch is sooo fucking uncomfortable!

"Dash! Don't sleep yet" He said. "Why not?" I demanded realy annoyed.

"Because....I'm not asleep yet" He said.

"So? If your not asleep yet then whats that got to do with ne not suppose to sleep yet?" I pointed out. "Help me to sleep first ok?" he demanded. "What are you five? No. Soarim your 15, figure out how your suppose to sleep by yourself" I said and tried to sleep. But so far, sleep won't welcome me.

Its been an hour and still I can't sleep! Worse still is Soarin is so fucking loud.

"Dash? Dashie? Red are you alseep?"

For the past hour he has been asking me that same question I'd reply with an irritated no. But this time I decided to just shut up.

"Red? Red are you sleeping now?" He went on. I snored loudly hoping he'd buy it. And he did, hehe, I am such a good actress. "Shit she's probably already asleep" I heard him groan.

"Stupid Fleetfoot. If she hadn't told me all those ridiculous ghost stories I probably wouldn't be having problems sleeping in hospitals! That bitch. This is her foult" great he's talking to himself. Out loud.

There was a sound from outside and even though I'm not facing him, I can tell he's shaking right now. Haha!

"Fuck! I knew it! Ghosts are real! They're all in here in this hospital! I'm done for!" He whisper shouted.

Ok I can't take it anymore! I gotta get a look on his face. I turned around still pretending to be asleep and then opened one eye. I saw him staring at the door still shaking. Fear in his eyes. I felt a little sorry for him.

A flashback came to me. It was a blurry one too, like all the other memmories of him.

*******Flashback to when I was six

Me and Greengrass were playing hide and seek at his house in the attic.

He was it and I was hidding behind a high pile of boxes. I covered my mouth to muffle my breathing. Then I felt something touch my arm! Its crawling up to my shoulder!

I screamed and rushed out of the attic. "Dashie wait!" Greegrass shouted and rushed after me. I ran to the living room screaming and his sister(The eldest) was there reading a comic book. She looked a lot like him. Same messy unkept navy blue hair, pale blue skin, and deep green eyes.

"Dashie whats wrong?" Greengrass asked me confused. "S-Something touched me up there! And it crawled up to my shoulder! Its scary up there!" I shouted and then burtsted into tears again. His sister glared at us. "Can you keep it down?! I'm trying to read!" She snapped.

We ignored her and he patted my head and hugged me. "Calm down you cry baby! Nothings gonna harm you. Not while I'm here" He said drying up my tears.

"Seriously? Ahahahahaha! What a cry baby! Scared of tiny crawly thingies? Can't you defend yourself? All you do is cry and cry and cry!ahahahahaha!" the eldest sister teased.

I think he got mad. He said some things to his sister. Maybe they were bad? Anyway she got offended too and said she's telling their dad. "Go ahead. You should know big sis, that when someone is scared you don't tease them! You comfort them! But how would you know, you don't have any friends and you've never comforted anyome your entire life!" he said and dragged me away.

"Nice speach" I complemented. He grinned at me. "its realy true though. When someome is afraid, you should comfort them, don't make fun of them ok? Everyome has their own fears" He said.

"What about you? Whats your fear?" I timidly asked. He grinned at me goofily.

"Loosing you"

***********

"You've been awake all this time?!" I snapped out of my thoughts and saw Soarim glaring at me. Then the light on his lamp flickered. He flinched a little.

"Soarin, you ok?" I asked.

"Yea, I'm fine"

"Your scared aren't you?" I asked. "No! I'm not, I'm not afraid of anything" He said.

I sighed. "Soarin its ok. Everyone is afraid of something! For example, I'm afraid of loosing, and remember your afraid of spiders" After he heard the word spiders he wince a little bit.

I sighed and massaged my temple. "You know...if you want I could.....

A/N: Wait for it....:)

Sleep with you"

He blinked a little bit, then a blush creeped to his cheeks. Even mine!

"B-but don't think of dirty thoughts ok?! I'll only sleep beside you in bed so that I can...keep you company and calm you down. I heard you talking to yourself and you seemed realy afraid. Besides its the least I can do after all the times I beat you in a match and...made fun if you" I said and sat up.

"Yea I guess you realy do owe me" He chuckled. I rolled my eyes and made my way slowly towards him. If my friends see us my reputation is ruined! And if Spitfire see us my tough girl attitude will be crushed! They'll all might think I'm soft and might not respect me anymore.

You and I both know they'll never do that right? They love you waaay too much and respecr you, its your brothers you should be worried about

Yea good point.

He scooted a little to give me space and I took off my shoes and laid down beside him. My back was facing him and I tried to steady my breathing, and it didn't helped the fact that I'm blushing so much right now!

"Well uh, good night" He said awkwardly.

I felt realy comfortable actualy. I tensed when I felt him wrap his arm around my waist (A/N: Like OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH OHHHMYYYYGOOOSH!)

My eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Ans just when I thought I'd manage to sleep peacefuly, I was woken up a few hours later by Soarin sleep talking.

"No...No please don't leave me! Wait...wait no....I promise...no....Tears....Tears come on...I...I'm Sorry but....No Tears! Don't worry I'll come back I promise!"

I turned around to face him and he was crying in his sleep. Who's Tears? Maybe his ex girlfriend? Or someone realy close to him?

Either way I felt sad for him. I sat up and wiped away some of his tears.

"Tears...Stop crying, I hate it when you cry...your such a cry baby....Tears! Tears don't leave me!"

He grabbed my arm tightly. Still sleeping, I sat him up and.....hugged him. What? What else aas I suppose to do?

"Shhs...Soarin its ok" I assured and rubbed his back.

"Tears?" He mummbled and then hugged me. "No Soarin, I'm not Tears. I'm Red? Remember?"

Whoa Dash alert. Since when did I started using his dumb nickname for me? And when did I started...liking it?

"Tears....I miss you so much...I realy realy miss you" He whispered.

He hugged me more tightly. "Soarin let go, I cam't breath" I said trying to push him away. He couldn't, or rather, wouldn't let me go.

Then...an idea hits me. There was this ine time when I was realy sad, crying my heart out when my uncle Slane died, my brother Wave chill and Blitz found me in the basement rocking back and forth crying. They tried their best to make me smile or laugh. But I just wouldn't. I was 10 back then. They couldn't calm me down so they went to go get Spitfire who just recently movdd in and me and her instantly became besties.

What she did was simple. She sang me a song. A special one. The song is one of my favorites and it helps me to calm down. Maybe thats just what Soarin needs?

I cleared my troat and sang the song in his ear.

(Rainbowdash)

When I look into your eyes...
I guess I didn't recognized...
Who we are ans all that we could be!

Sometimes its hard to find yourself
But its worth it in the end, couse in
Your life is where it all.....

Begins....

I sang and then after a few momments, Soarin loosened his grip on me and started snoring.

I smiled and layed him back down.

Then I layed down beside him and closed my eyes, but then I felt him wrap his arm around me again and pulled me close.

Heh, wonder what the nurse might think if they come in here and sees Soarin and me sleeping a small bed with his arm around my waist and my face on his chest.

Boy I can't wait to find out.

It starts...with you...and....me.....

I sang one more time before finnaly falling into my awesome dream land.
