one bed - 1997 daron malakian
OK SO. this is possibly the cringiest thing i will ever write BUT PLEASE MY GUILTY PLEASURE IS THE ONE BED TROPE I LOVE IT SM 🙏

(it got rlly sloppy towards the end but i was so tired when writing this so please forgive me 😭)
daron held open the door to you and his shared hotel room, you thanked him and walked through the doorway before stopping when you got into the room, daron, who was still behind you closing the door, noticed you stop
"hey, what's wrong? is the room ant infested or someth-"
you both stared at the room in front of you, the room itself was fine, the view from the window was actually quite remarkable, the only glaring issue, was the bed, or perhaps lack thereof.
there was only one bed.
how exactly did you end up in this situation? well, you had met daron by chance at your job in the coffee shop in your town, one day he came in to order a coffee and just kept coming back, a simple relationship between a barista and a regular at a coffee shop quickly bloomed into a friendship, which led to you meeting the members of the band he was in (system of a down), you went down a treat and you quickly became friends with all of them, which led to you tagging along with them to their latest concert.
thinking serj was the most trust worthy member, you all decided to put him in charge of setting up accommodation. he booked up a quaint little hotel in the town where they were preforming, everything was well and good, of course until now.
you should've known better than to trust serj, the asshole probably did it on purpose. you were hoping that this was a harmless prank and that he wasn't aware of your crush on daron. you thought you had been slick, maybe slipping up here and there, but surely not enough to be noticable? you looked to daron to see what he thought of the situation
"serj definitely did this on purpose, right?"
he turned to look at you
"oh, 100%."
he sighed before putting his bag on the floor
"well, i suppose i'll sleep on the floor"
"no, no, you don't have to do that!"
"yes, i do."
"no you definitely do not!"
you squinted your eyes at him, determined to win this debate
he sighed once again
"you know what? we can finish this discussion later, i can't win when you're like this"
he chuckled, you giggled back
"haha, i win!"
"for now."
"yeah, yeah. sure."
you both left your room before meeting up with serj, shavo and john in their room, in which they indeed had three seperate single beds each
"so, how do you like your room?"
serj asked teasingly, oh, he knew what he did alright.
"i think we're missing a bed serj, you wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you?"
you punched his arm lightly, he shrugged innocently with a devilish look in his eyes
"not a clue."
serj, shavo and john started laughing while you and daron just looked at each other, embarrassed.
once it was getting late, you and daron went to your room.
he turned to you to attempt to win the debate from earlier
" i am sleeping on the floor"
"are we really still on this? daron, i genuinely do not mind, i'll sleep on the floor"
"i don't want you waking up with aches though!"
the argument went on for another 5 minutes before, somehow, daron finally won, but not without you insisting that he took your pillows to use as a sort of makeshift mattress.
you got yourself comfortable in your bed, you looked at the pillows on the floor beside you, this was ridiculous. you wouldn't mind sharing with daron, in fact you wouldn't mind in the slightest, but you weren't sure where his boundries laid, perhaps he didnt want to share with you because he preferred sleeping on his own? maybe he had a partner that he hadn't told you about, and he would feel bad about sharing a bed with someone else.
before you could get any deeper in your thoughts, the bathroom door opened and daron walked out. he was wearing a tight wife beater shirt with some loose shorts, you couldn't help but stare, the shirt he was wearing showed off his lean build perfectly, and of course, his face was looking pretty as always, you felt your face heat up slightly, you cleared your throat and awkwardly tried to hide your face.
daron, who seemed oblivious, just smiled at you and walked over to the window to close the curtains.
"are you really sure you'll be fine on the floor?"
as daron sat down on the pillows he looked up at you and smiled
"we've been over this, i'll be fine, i promise"
you couldnt help but fold at that smile
"fine."
you turned over to turn off the lamp on the bedside table before turning back over to face daron, who you could now barely see in the dark.
"goodnight daron."
"goodnight."
you werent sure how much time had passed, but you knew that it had to have been a while since u originally said goodnight, since there was no light behind the curtains anymore, daron had been tossing and turning the whole time. you leaned over the bed slightly and whispered
"daron.. daron!"
he turned over to face you
"yeah..?"
you could hear the grogginess in his voice
"please get into bed, ive heard you tossing and turning, you are gonna get no sleep at this rate"
you heard him grumble some excuse in his tired voice
"no, daron, i dont want to hear it! you're preforming a concert tomorrow, we can't have you falling asleep on stage."
he sat up, face inches apart from yours, just staring at you. you couldn't tell if this was supposed to somehow convince you to let him sleep on the floor, or if he was just that tired.
"come on, daron"
you sat up on the edge of your bed and held his face in your hands
"please?"
he was very clearly avoiding eye contact with you for a couple seconds, then he finally looked at you and sighed in defeat, too tired to argue now
"ok, ok."
you smiled at him and helped him pick up the pillows from the floor before setting them up on your now shared bed. daron climbed in beside you and sighed contently as he fell back into the mattress
"now you'll hopefully be able to catch some sleep"
"yeah.."
awkward silence.
"thanks for letting me share the bed"
"no problem dude.."
more silence.
"well, goodnight!"
"yeah, goodnight."
a couple minutes of silence pass, now that you finally had daron in a bed with you, you didn't want to let this chance go. you turned so that you were now facing him
"daron?"
"yeah?"
now that you had his attention, you weren't sure how to ask for what you wanted
"uh... this is probably a stupid question and you can say no if you want and i dont be offended.."
daron looked slightly concerned
"what's up?"
"do you... wanna cuddle?"
you said that so quietly that daron barely heard you, you were so embarrassed that you even dared to ask the question, your face began to really heat up now
"sure.."
daron said back, almost as quietly as you. he had also wanted to cuddle but didn't know how to ask. he awkwardly held open his arms for you. you quickly crawled over to him, laying your head on his chest and laying your arm across his abdomen, while he draped his arm over your body and left his hand at your waist
"are you comfortable?"
you asked, nervous about daron's sleep being more interuppted by you.
"yeah, im good, you?"
you smiled and rubbed your head lightly against his chest
"great."
you both smiled, content laying with each other
"well, i suppose this is the final goodnight" daron chuckled
"yeah..."
"goodnight then."
"goodnight.."
you paused for a couple seconds
"i love you."
you thought you said it quiet enough that daron couldn't hear you, but he heard alright.
that singular phrase kept him up all night.
