I just slept in the same bed with my brother
When I was young I used to have very frequent nightmares. I would always go to my older brothers room, since our mom worked the graveyard shift at the hospital. As I got older, they became less and less common. It's been a few years since my last nightmare, and now I'm 15, while he's 17. A couple nights ago, I had a nightmare. Which I wont bother to explain here, but it left me terrified.
Our mom still works the graveyard shift, so I went to his room. I woke him up and asked if I could sleep with him for the night. He said okay and I crawled into his bed. He wrapped his arms around my stomach, and pulled my up against him. It wasn't like he was groping me or anything, but I felt better now that he was there.
I'm not sure how I should feel about this, he was warm, and made me feel safe. I think that's it. But now things are kind of awkward between us and I'm having trouble talking to him. I just don't know how to go about handling this.
