Sleeping in the closet

[ever_somnolence]

Lace was a quiet boy, he never said much in class and only spoke when spoken too. Even then he didn't say much. This was never a bother to him. A lack of friends was of no concern to Lace, his strange beauty and mysterious nature drew plenty of attention from other students. Which could be bothersome, but he found ways to avoid it. He went into the Gym storage room to eat lunch, one day however, he fell asleep. He fell into such a deep sleep that he slept through class and until the end of volley ball practice. He managed to hide from the sight of the club members, though not on purpose until someone came in and saw him.

"Maybe we should just focus on volleyball practice," Lev stuttered and scratched the nape of his neck. The idea of kissing Lace became even more stressful when he realized that the other boy was much more experienced.

[ever_somnolence]

"You....don't want....to kiss me....?" Lace asked, looking a little hurt. Did Lev not find him desirable anymore because he had one had another...? He looked dejected, was that not a desirable trait...?

[acecat]

"I do! I really do...but what if I'm terrible at it? Even more terrible than your previous boyfriend..." Lev murmured and looked away. He wasn't sure why that was bothering him so much.

[ever_somnolence]

"The kiss...doesn't....matter...if it's...good or bad..." He murmured softly before he gazed up at him, "If....it's from someone you love.... then...I'll...love it either way...." He replied as he rested his head on his shoulder as they stopped in front of Lace's door.

[acecat]

"Really? It doesn't matter?" Lev seemed to be rather surprised. Well, he didn't think of Lace as someone who would dump him after one horrible kiss, but he didn't want to give him a kiss like that either. "Let's start with kissing the cheeks, though!"

[ever_somnolence]

Lace nodded his head softly, why would he leave him because of a kiss? He leaved up to press a soft kiss to his cheek before unlocking his door and moving to enter the loft. "Do...you want to....come...in...?"

[acecat]

"It's late already..." Lev replied softly, looking down at the floor. He rarely paid attention to such things, though. "I think I should go back. And you probably want to rest, too..."

[ever_somnolence]

"You...can spend....the night...?" He offered shyly, maybe they could do things or watch TV together or do homework. Lace just wanted to spend some more time with Lev...

[acecat]

"The night?!" He yelled and quickly covered his mouth with both of his hands. "Y-Yeah, I guess I can!! Why not...right?" Lev stepped inside, grinning at him. He wasn't sure if it was a good idea, but he didn't want to refuse.

[ever_somnolence]

Lace looked surprised at his reaction, they had spent the night before and Lev was never so anxious and nervous. They weren't going to do anything strange. He closed the door behind Lev and sat down on the couch to watch some TV for a little while.

[acecat]

What if Lace wanted to do something after all? He was so inexperienced...and for the first time in his life he felt like a fool (even though he had done many stupid things before). Lev sat just next to Lace, smiling awkwardly.

"This show is pretty good!" Lev pointed out even before Lace could turn the TV on.

[ever_somnolence]

Lace quietly rested his head on Lev's shoulder, something they normally did all the time when Lace was tired. That was just the way they were, Lev even carried Lace home sometimes when he fell asleep during his practice.

"Mhm...."

[acecat]

Lev tried not to move too much when Lace had rested his head on his shoulder and even embraced him, "It's too late for game shows but we can always watch a movie or something?" Lev asked, looking at him.

[ever_somnolence]

Lace nodded his head, okay with any movie Lev would pick as long as Lace could stay close to him. He closed his eyes and enjoyed have a boyfriend again. He enjoyed being embraced and showered with affection and praise. He nuzzled him softly as he relaxed.

[acecat]

Lev blushed softly when Lace nuzzled him, even though it wasn't the first time he did that. He picked the movie that didn't look like a romantic comedy and relaxed against the couch.

...it still was a romantic comedy, though. Lev rolled his eyes and asked Lace whether he should change the channel.

[ever_somnolence]

Lace closed his eyes and quietly listened to the sound of the actors speaking. He murmured that he didn't mind watching anything as long as he was close to Lev. He was already starting to doze off, Lev's warm body was making him feel sleepy.

[acecat]

Lev wasn't really paying attention to the screen anyway as he was rather focused on Lace. He observed him as subtly as he could (which basically meant he was gawking at him while he was starting to doze off) and smiled shyly. Then, he lifted up his hand and stroked his hair affectionately.

[ever_somnolence]

Lace nuzzled him softly, pressing his head into his hand. He had no idea that Lev was staring at him as he slept, though he eventually felt his gaze on him. His eyes opened slowly and gazed at him. ".......?"

[acecat]

"N-Nothing! I just thought that you're really cute! Augh, no, I didn't mean to say it loud...!" Apparently Lev was really bad at flirting. And telling compliments. "Just...go back to sleep. I'll carry you to your bed later."

[ever_somnolence]

Lace leaned up to press a soft kiss to his cheek and rested his head on his shoulder and relaxed again, smiling softly before dozing off again in his arms. He felt so warm and pleased by the loving nature of his boyfriend. "You're...really cute too...."

[acecat]

"Me? Cute? Everyone tells me that I'm just dumb," Lev laughed since it didn't bother him that much, not when Lace thought he was cute. Lev quickly leaned in and kissed him on the forehead. "Sleep well."

[ever_somnolence]

"You're....not dumb..." Lace replied, Lev was wonderful. Lace wasn't sure he liked the idea of his boyfriend being constantly put down by others, he'd fix it by being his number one fan. He would do everything in his power to make Lev feel like the great person he was.

[acecat]

"I don't care about others...if you think I'm cute it's all that matters to me!" Lev laughed happily, nuzzling into Lace's hair. He was overjoyed that he had Lace with him, "You're...really special to me, Lace..."

[ever_somnolence]

Lace smiled softly as he rested against Lev, it was pleasant to be like this. This was always his favorite part, when his boyfriend would hold him and shower him with affection. Something he had never gotten at home. His parents had been very distant with him. That was just the way they were, quiet and distant. Lace never knew how badly he craved affection until Robin first started coming onto him.

"You're....special to me too....."

[acecat]

"Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?" Lev murmured combing Lace's hair with his long fingers. For a longer moment he was watching Lace's lips, but he still wasn't sure if kissing him was a good idea.
