Scott laughed at the failed attempt from Joel to whack him, spilling a bit of his water onto the couch. He wiped it away half-heartedly, joining in the laughter around the group even if he didn’t hear the joke. The seven of them (because Gem, Pearl and BigB were all upstairs having their own version of a sleepover) were sitting across the living room, awake far too late in the evening to be even remotely focused on the first day tomorrow. Joel was sitting on the arm of the couch, with Scott leaning on Jimmy. Martyn and Ren were squished onto the same chair, basically sitting on each other. Grian sat by himself, keeping quiet mostly. Lizzie had been sitting, but now she was next to Joel, trying to calm him from murdering Scott.
He closed his eyes, leaning even more weight on Jimmy, who wrapped an arm around him. “You doin’ okay?”
“Hmm?” Scott hummed, looking up sleepily. “Yeah, yeah, just tired.”
“You could sleep.”
“Don’t wanna.”
“Fine, be whiny about it.”
Scott frowned, bumping Jimmy’s shoulder with his head. “‘M not.”
“You could sleep on me.”
Void, Jimmy didn’t know what he was doing to him, did he? Scott was aware of every part of them that was touching, every small breath of Jimmy’s chest and his own. Somehow they had synced up. Scott put his water cup down on the ground and threw his full weight onto his friend.
They fell back onto the couch together, and Scott laid his head down. “Like this?”
Jimmy chuckled. “Not exactly what I was thinking.” Scott buried his face into Jimmy’s shoulder, pretending to fall asleep. Honestly, he probably could if he tried. It wasn’t the least comfortable he had ever been while laying down, that was for sure. Jimmy wrapped his arms around him, settling them on the small of his back. Scott could pass away right there of happiness.
Operation Polyamory
11:35 PM
Lizzie: gem you better get down here
Gem: are they being gay??
Lizzie: yes
Gem: then I don’t want too
Lizzie: [A picture of Scott and Jimmy snuggling from her perspective]
Gem: i literally just said i dont wanna see lizzie
Somehow, Scott actually drifted off, lulled to sleep by Jimmy’s heartbeat and voice. He’s brought back out of it by a shake at his shoulder. Scott hummed questioningly, not opening his eyes.
“Gotta get off, Scott,” Jimmy grunted. “If you’re gonna sleep, you should somewhere else.”
“Mmmmghh,” was all he could manage back.
“Go upstairs, you can lay in my bed.”
“Will you be there?”
“Not yet.”
“Then no.” He was being difficult, but Scott didn’t want to let go of Jimmy. He was comfy and warm and maybe he was being selfish, but this might be the only time he could really, truly be close to the man.
“Scoooooott.”
“Jimmyyyyyy.”
“Get a room!” Martyn shouted across the living room, making everyone else laugh.
“Least I’m not publicly announcing sleeping with my boyfriend,” Scott muttered more to Jimmy than anything, who chuckled. “He can deal with two friends cuddling.”
“Ya hear that Martyn?” Jimmy asked. He was rubbing his hand up and down Scott’s back and Scott was going to go insane. He was going to go insane if Jimmy kept going and he would go insane if he stopped. “You can deal with a little PDA.”
“Most PDA guy I know.” Jimmy laughed again at Scott’s words.
“I’m sure you could beat him.” He was going to die. Jimmy had turned his head and whispered in his ear, just soft enough for Scott to hear. His breath was warm and his lips were so close, Scott could just turn his head and—
“Is that a challenge?”
“You’re tired.”
“Everything’s a challenge when I’m tired.”
“Okay,” Jimmy rolled over, somehow pulling Scott to his feet. He wrapped an arm around his waist, supporting him as they walked away from the group together. “Time for sleeping.”
“M’kay.” Scott followed him up the stairs and past Pearl’s room, where Gem and Pearl and BigB were sitting on the floor, leaning over something, and into Jimmy’s room. He didn’t really take in the appearance of the room, just the abundance of colors. Posters, paintings, decorations pushed into every corner. It was messy, but in a charming way, full of water bottles and crumbled doodles.
Jimmy laid him down on his bed, pulling the covers over him before Scott sat up again.
“Wait. I gotta take off my binder.”
Jimmy turned away as Scott slipped his hands into his shirt and pulled his binder off, threading it through his neckline and throwing it off to the side somewhere. “Done.” Jimmy turned back, watching him pull the blankets over himself once more. Jimmy’s blankets were scratchy but not so much it annoyed him.
“G’night Jimmy.”
“Night, Scott.”
