Call my lifeline (one-on-one//closed)

"It was just an idea, you don't have too," He shrugged a shoulder, "I'm sure you could get into an art class somehow."

"Yeah… I'll probably think about it later…. in the morning" said Arthur munching on another mozzarella stick.

Kyle nodded again, “Okay…” He sunk further back into the couch and his jumper, still looking at the pictures.

Arthur watched him, silently munching. He absentmindedly pulled out his amulet and began to fiddle with it, still studying Kyle's features.

Kyle looked generally relaxed in the way he was sitting, though he had one arm wrapped around his stomach protectively. Even though his eyes were alight with curiosity, it also looked like he was about to fall asleep at any moment.

Arthur watched him for a moment more, before getting up and heading down the hallway to pull out blankets.

Kyle placed all the drawing back in a neat pile, a yawn making an appearance. By the time Aurther was back, he was practically half asleep, curled up in his jumper.

Arthur smiled softly, throwing a blanket over the other, lazily curling up on the other sjde of the couch.

Kyle curled up into the blanket and a few minutes later was fast asleep. His chest rose and feel in a consistent pattern, his features relaxed.

Arthur sighed, watching the other carefully. I wish I could sleep that peacefully he thought, curling up with a yawn.

(Skip to morning?)

(Yeah… maybe have them wake up nestled against each other?)

(Ehe, yes!)

The next morning, Kyle woke up against something warm and comfortable. He didn't know what it was as he was still half asleep, but he cuddled into it a little more and tried to go back to sleep again. And failed.

Arthur felt something warm move under his arm, but ignored it as he tried to go back to the once in a blue moon quiet sleep.

Kyle blinked his eyes open slowly and found himself pressed against Arthur's chest. He blushed and knew he should move but couldn't bring himself to do so.

Arthur finally gave up trying to sleep, blearily opening one eye to check the time. Shocked to see Kyle where he was his face immediately turned red.

He knew Arthur was awake, which meant he'd have to move eventually. Slowly, he looked up at the other boy, still red faced, "Morning…" He whispered.

"Uhmmm….." Arthur's voice was high pitched as he looked at the other. "Morning…"

He giggled softly, "Did you sleep okay?" He asked quietly, starting to move off the couch no matter how much he didn't want to.

Arthur pulled him back, getting slightly redder. "Yeah… for once…. you?"

Kyle blushed but snuggled into Arthur's chest and nodded, "I did, too. Thanks for letting me stay the night."

"Yeah… You're welcome…" Arthur was as red as can be, but he smiled as he watched the other boy.
Someone's in looove

Kyle marveled at how small he felt next to the other boy, yet he wasn't one to start complaining about it, "Do we have to go to school today? Can we just… skip?"

Arthur looked down at him, "we should probably go….. but… I don't think either of us wants to.." he said carefully, studying the other's features again.

He whined in protest, the smallest pout present, "I don't wanna face them again…"

"Well it is Friday…." mused Arthur, "And you're warm…" he snuggled in, obviously having no intention of getting up.

Kyle smiled and nodded, "Yup…" He paused for a moment, "Can I ask you something?"

"What?" Asked Arthur, having more or less burrowed completely under the covers.

"Why didn't you sleep in your own bed last night?" He asked, giggling quietly.

"I wasn't trying to fall asleep at all…." said Arthur sheepishly. "I was actually trying to stay awake….."
