"I sit there for several minutes memorizing the steady rhythm of his heart, of my heart (there's never been a difference)..."

beautiful line, love it!

Beautiful piece of writing. Connection and madlove.

Connor! It's totally Connor :)

It's got such a bug brother vibe to it, and Connor would know if Murphy was having nightmares, but Connor's never had anyone comfort him :) it just has to be Connor!

This was amazing :) and si, no slash :)

Definitely heard this in Murphy's POV.

Nicely written. Loved it.

Aww I think you did a great job with this! Slash can be kinda weird sometimes but I think you wrote this story perfectly so it can be viewed as whatever the reader wants to read. Very sweet and cute! Great job! :D

I don't get slash at all from this...anyone who's ever had a closely bonded sibling (like myself) would understand those same feelings...love it!

i really liked how you didn't say who was speaking- nice way to leave it even more open to interpretation.

You rocked that challenge! I defiantly see the slash, and I can see it being seen as brotherly love, too. I think I see Murphy as the speaker for some reason.

A job well done.
