Chapter Text
“I’m waiting…” Doppio whined at the second-year from the bed. It was a mess of blankets and pillows, complete with the Duke of Discipline himself sprawled across it. Hex looked at him, ever impressed by his impatience.
“In a minute, Doppio. This assignment is due tomorrow.” This firm reply only made him groan and fold his arms.
“But I’m due right now!”
Hex paused with a snicker. “You’re what ?” The gears visibly turned in the other boy’s head before it finally clicked. He decided to take it in stride.
“Yeah! Due for some Hex cuddles!”
The Sage of Grief sighed. “I’m almost done, Doppi. Five minutes at most. Okay?”
Doppio grinned. He always got his way.
“Okay.”
🐣🖤
As promised, when the five minutes were up, Hex set down his pencil and walked over to the bed. Doppio sprang up when he saw the other, pulling the blue-haired boy onto him so that they both fell on the bed with a dull fwump. Hex wasn’t surprised, Doppio always did this to him. He settled onto the other, nestling into the crook of his neck and closing his eyes. Hex could feel the contentment and pure joy radiating off of his partner, and it made him feel…whole. Doppio shifted, managing to plant a kiss on top of the other’s head and making him blush. The punk could feel his senior’s breath and heartbeat through the closeness, feeling alive in a way that he only could in these quiet moments. The stillness of the late night combined with Doppio’s large hand running through Hex’s blue hair was enough for the latter to slowly fall asleep, lulled by his partner’s steady heartbeat. The punk smiled, a rare softness coming over him that only occurred around Hex, looking at his sleeping partner. Doppio had noticed that only when the other fell asleep on him like this did Hex elude insomnia’s depressing grasp, even if only for a moment. He resolved that, whenever this happened, he would treat Hex Haywire like a sleeping cat, not moving an inch. Doppio glanced at the clock, sighing quietly when he saw it read 1:15 in the morning. His own frustrations quickly melted when the other curled into him more, with the delinquent wrapping his strong arms around the far more fragile boy that silently slept. Doppio closed his own eyes, hoping that maybe tonight, just once…That his lover could sleep through the night.
