Oh yeah, I had a dorm... [logan/sophia] [closed]

She was confused. What did he mean they didn't look like that? They weren't supposed to look like anything. They were supposed to be her own creation. Sophia's smile turned to a frown. "Of course they don't look like that. I'm not copying anyone else's design, they are my own creation." She said. She looked back to Logan. "Are you sure you don't need to get some sleep?" She asked once again.

Logan's vision seemed to cross for a moment, and he smiled weakly, letting himself fall back on the bed, albeit sideways. "Yeah," he said, "Maybe." The crickety old bed, the onbringer of countless bad backs, seemed like a cloud in heaven at the moment. Yeah, she didn't mean anything by that drawing. He didn't know what he was talking about. They didn't exist. Your consciousness could cook up anything when you're...

"I died while I was gone," he said quietly to the ceiling, unsure if she had even left. He didn't know where he was going or what he was trying to accomplish. The inside of his mouth tasted like rot, his saliva thick. He was a zombie. Why was he breathing, why was he breathing, why was he...?

He felt the pull of Jane from the infirmary, and the itch to plunge back into the darkness grew colder. If he could dive back in and grab her hand...

"I'm just tired, is all."

Sophia had turned to go but froze as soon as she heard those words. She turned back to Logan. "What do you mean you died?" She asked. Shock was laced in her words, and a strange feeling lodged inside of her chest. She could feel tears welling up in her eyes but she didn't let them. She could have lost one of her friends? She.. She was glad that didn't happen.. but something about it made her a bit unsettled.

How could he explain it? He didn't want to explain it. The boy gave a smile and stifled a small laugh, turning over. He was still fully dressed, but the weight of the world suddenly caved in on him. He was Atlas, unable to move under gravity's burden, so he lay there, and sleepily, murmured: "Nothing. I'll tell you later..." And like that, he was asleep.
