Chapter 20: You Could Talk About It, You Know (1238 words)
Matt set the cup of earl grey tea down in front of Neil, sat beside him, and waited.
He didn’t particularly like the fact that he was used to this, that he knew what to do when Neil woke up and stared at the ceiling with unseeing eyes. When he didn’t start getting ready for class, even after his warning alarm started ringing. When Matt said his name and Neil refused to answer.

Neil flopped dramatically onto the couch with a soft “oomph”, his arm coming up to cover his eyes, his legs splayed out at uncomfortable angles in front of him. “I’m literally about to die,” He declared with a huff, and Matt couldn’t hide his small snort of laughter.

“I’m helping out because they didn’t have enough people today,” Matt explains when he spots Neil looking at the Free Hugs! :) sign he’s been holding up for the past hour or so. The edges of his eyes crinkle as he spreads out his arms. “Want one?”
