He lay awake after midnight, listening to the far too distant hum of his twin’s body, of blood rushing through George’s veins, of his heart pumping, of his lungs breathing. He looked sadly over at George, feeling envious; he wished sleep would find him, too.
Separate beds had seemed like a good idea. He and George were big boys now, and sleeping separately was a sure sign of maturity. Of course it was.
Though Fred couldn’t help but notice how growing up often meant giving up something he liked.
George’s eyes popped open suddenly, peered at his brother through the darkness. “Can’t sleep either, huh?” he said.
“No.”
George raised his head and glanced at their bedroom door. He paused, as though listening for something. Then he looked back at Fred and beckoned him over.
Fred hopped down off his mattress and scurried across to his brother. George lifted the covers for him and laid them over him.
“Think we’ll get in trouble?” whispered George.
“I don’t care,” said Fred boldly. They grinned at each other.
George nestled against Fred and they closed their eyes. In no time George’s breathing grew deep and steady. And the hum of his body - a hum only Fred could ever hear - surrounded Fred and lulled him like white noise, stretching across his dreams.
