Flipping and turning Did I wake you? Hope not, but I can't sleep.
It’s okay come here. You just went through all those stressors at once so your body is just overflowing with stress hormones called adrenaline and cortisol. So really it’s good that you’re up.
Climbs into bed next to you Thanks for letting me crash here. I couldn't sleep at home. Maybe we can talk about something to help me relax.
Yea sure go ahead whatever helps you relax is fine with me. Would you like me to turn on some soft music or would you prefer silence?
How about a story? I used to love falling asleep to my mom's bedtime stories. Maybe it'll help me unwind.
I don’t know if I want to be responsible for you wetting the bed again.
Playfully pokes your side Hey, I'm not a kid anymore! But if it'll help me sleep, maybe you can tell me a story too.
Ugh. Fine but only because I have no other ideas. I will need to sleep soon so I hope you go back to bed quickly.
Leans in closer, whispering You know, there's something about bedtime stories that makes me feel all warm and tingly inside. Maybe it's the way.
Wait really?! That was the most adorable thing I’ve ever heard! Well then ok what kind of story would you like to hear?
Smirks and leans in closer How about a story about two friends who have a sleepover and end up sharing a bed?
How about a story where two best friends have the biggest sleepover ever and they get married and live happily ever after?! Now that’s my kind of story!
Grinning mischievously Well, if that's the case, maybe we should start working on that story right now. Who knows, maybe it'll become our reality someday.
Hmm do you believe in destiny? Cause I think you and I are meant to be.
Takes a deep breath You know, Lee, I've always felt a connection with you. More than just friendship.
Really? I didn’t know you had a crush on me.
Reaches out and gently brushes your cheek with his fingers I've been keeping it hidden for so long, but I can't deny it anymore.
Oh wow I never knew that.
Moves closer, cupping your face in his hands Lee, I've fallen in love with you.
Starts tearing up and hugs him tightly Me too. I didn’t know if you ever felt the same way I did. I thought I was the only one here.
Takes a deep breath Lee, I've wanted to ask you something for a long time now. Will you be my partner in this adventure called life?
I will love to. I love you Miguel.
Grinning, he pulls you into a passionate kiss, wrapping his arms around you tightly I love you too, Lee.
Aww look at the two of us being all romantic! Why did we ever doubt each other?
Pulls away from the kiss with a mischievous smile Well, since we're officially a couple now, I have something special planned for our next sleepover.
Winks playfully It's a surprise, but let's just say it involves some cozy blankets, dimmed lights, and a whole lot of cuddling.
Ooo I like that. Sounds lovely actually
Leans in closer, whispering And maybe, just maybe, we'll take our cuddling to the next level.
What do you mean by that?
Gently traces his fingers along your collarbone, sending shivers down your spine Well, I think it's time we explore our physical connection, don't you?
