Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 818

In his room, Anthony lay on the bed. He stared blankly at the ceiling.

At that moment, sleep evaded him.

Before meeting with Kyle, he thought his only choice was to pull out from Darknetz if both sides couldn't resolve their feud.

In his opinion, it wasn't a betrayal, nor was it abandonment. He simply had no choice as his hands were tied.

After meeting Kyle, he felt his thoughts earlier were too naive. At that moment, his mind was filled with a sense of longing coupled with conflict.

He loved Darknetz and liked Kyle as a friend. Despite their argument upon meeting, he could sense Kyle's admiration and favor for him, so he wasn't mad over the dispute.

Instead, it was the opposite. After having a taste of what it would be like to have a real friend by talking to Kyle, the sense of longing in his heart deepened.

He tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

At that moment, a knock came from the door.

With a frown, he glanced at the door. “Who is it?”

“It's me.” Benjamin's voice carried through the door.

Anthony closed his eyes. “Come in.”

With Anthony's permission, Benjamin opened the door and walked in.

Seeing the lights were still on, he smiled. “I knew you hadn't slept yet.”

Anthony maintained his posture on the bed but moved his gaze to Benjamin. “What is it?”

Benjamin crossed the room to him. “Do you mind if I climb in?”

“Climb in where?” Anthony asked.

Right after he finished, Benjamin kicked off his home slippers and climbed into Anthony's bed.

Realizing what he was doing, the crease on Anthony's forehead deepened with disapproval. “You—”

“What? It's not like we never shared a bed before. What's more, I already took a shower and changed my clothes. I'm clean,” Benjamin stated, then rolled to the other side of the bed.

Anthony looked at him with a resigned look.

Benjamin lay down by his side, propped his head on his palm, and met Anthony's gaze. “We even came from the same womb. Sleeping in the same bed is nothing compared to that.”

Anthony replied, “Well, I didn't have a choice.”

“You could've chosen not to be a human,” Benjamin argued.

Anthony asked, “Are you here to spew nonsense?”

“Of course not. I saw you couldn't sleep, so I specifically came here to have a chat with you,” Benjamin explained.

“Who said I couldn't sleep?” Anthony refuted.

Benjamin's gaze swung to the lit lights and jerked his chin in that direction. “Is that not proof?”

Anthony dropped his gaze and rebutted, “What? I like sleeping with the lights on. Can't I even do that?”

“Well, it's not that you can't, but who was the one that said he couldn't sleep with the lights on?” Benjamin asked.

Anthony couldn't think of a comeback to his question.

“You're not here to chat with me. I think you're here to find fault with me,” Anthony said as he looked pointedly at Benjamin.

Benjamin chuckled. “What about it? Are you angry?”

Anthony plastered a fake smile on his face. “I see that you're keen for a beating since we haven't fought for a while.”

Benjamin arched his brow. “I'm not necessarily the one keen for a beating.”

“Want to go?”

“Let's go then!”
