Work Text:
Everyone on campus knows about the night-owl odd couple. The popular big ray of sunshine with the kind blue eyes, ended up with the blonde goth, with the sharp red eyes (whether or not they were contacts was a popular debate) and a sharper tongue if anyone dared to question the basis of their relationship.
It was late saturday night. Jonathan lays nearly fully asleep on thier shared couch, Dio wide awake of course and reading through an assigned book.
"Dio..." a sleepy voice starts from the other side of the couch, "You're always so awake the whole night...even if I slept in during the day like you did. I don't think I'd make it past 5."
"I've just been on this schedule so long, my body is used to it, I suppose."
Jonathan hums in acceptance of the answer, before yawning and repositioning on the couch.
"Surely going to the actual bed would be more comfortable, Jojo." Dio closes his book after marking the page, and gets up. He moves around the front of the couch and lightly sets his fingers on Jonathan's half asleep face.
"You're cold..."
"Always."
"Why is that?"
"Well...isn't there a phrase like, 'cold hands but a warm heart'? It's something along those lines."
"'m not sure" a yawn pauses Jonathan's sentance, "how many people would agree that phrase really applys to you."
"So rude!" Dio feigns hurt as dramatically as he can, getting a tired laugh out of Jonathan, "You've wounded me dear sir, and here I thought we were meant to be defiers of the nay-sayers who tell us it could never be!" The blonde ends his mini preformance with a dramatic fall back onto the couch, mostly landing on Jonathan in the process. He can feel the warmth of the brunette radiating through his hoodie.
"You're warm." He pauses, "It's a lovely contrast to me don't you think? But contrasts are all I ever find Im afraid. Nothing could ever compare to me, Dio, afterall."
"Dio, come on, you're starting to sound like one of your characters from your Shakespeare study. Calm down."
"Ah, but you'd still love me even if I were somehow to turn into such a caricature over time, yes? Maybe that's just who I am deep down inside. Or maybe even another universe?"
"Of course, Dio. Always."
