Work Text:
"Finally, a cozy, luxurious, hotel room," Tobi dived into his 3-star hotel bed, letting out the raspiest groan man has ever heard.
"Yeah; but I'm gonna have a trouble time sleeping anyway," Andre put down his luggage on his bed, took off his jacket and tossed it across the room (to the chair in the corner).
"Hey, be grateful we're not sleeping on that bricked bed in the bus!" Tobi stood up and grabbed the TV remote from the coffee table in the middle of the room. He turned on the TV and surfed through the channels.
"I suppose so…" Andre unzipped his bag and brought out his laptop as usual. Tobi turned around and looked annoyed. He was always on that damn thing, as if it was his drug.
"What is with you and your laptop? Can't you go one day without getting on that thing??" Tobi sat next to Andre, curious as to why he was always on his trusty lappy.
Andre scootched further away from Tobi and proceeded to whine, "Nooo I have to do at least a little work a day, it's my routine!!"
"But can't you please stay off of it just this once? I never really get to spend time with you when you're on that thing, and we've been touring for almost a month!"
"Oh come on, I can still listen to you rambling about your problems while I do my work."
"Pleeeeeeeeaseeeeeee just THIS once, pretty please??"
Andre kept on adjusting the MIDI file back and forth.
"I know we don't talk much but please, I just want to spend time with you only."
He still kept on adjusting the MIDI file.
"Let's play FIFA."
Andre looked up at Tobi, his eyes sparkling, "On your PS2?"
"No, on my ass- of course on my PS2!" Tobi laughed.
Andre slapped Tobi's back playfully, but the slap was a little too hard for Tobi's fragile body and made him almost fall off the bed. "C'mon, take out your PS2 now!"
Tobi rummaged through his luggage and brought out his Mighty Gaming Console: The Playstation 2. He connected the console to the TV and dragged a coffee table in front of it.
Andre immediately turned off his laptop and sat next to Tobi. "Do you play games other than FIFA? I've never seen you play anything else."
Tobi connected the controller to the console, "Of course I do, I just never brought them along because I don't wanna carry too much."
"What games, then?" Andre tilted his head.
"Hm… Well, most of them aren't PS games, they're mostly DOS games. But I've played Castlevania, Prince of Persia, and other stuff." He turned the console on, the TV started flickering with moving lights.
Andre sighed, "Well, that sucks. I thought you had a lot of PS2 games."
Tobi raised a brow, "Why are you suddenly asking me this? I've never seen YOU play with a PS2."
Andre smiled and giggled, "Oh, I don't play games on PS2… I do something different."
Tobi was curious, this Brazilian sure is something. What the hell does he mean by that? Something different? "Fuck do you mean by 'different'?"
Andre's face turned red, "Just guess."
Tobi was even more curious, "I can't fucking guess, what do you mean???"
Andre laid on his belly, his feet kicking in the air, "Guess first!"
"...Naughty games?" Tobi guessed almost right. Andre only managed to chuckle.
"Close enough. Cheesy Porn."
Tobi's eyes widened. Is this really the Andre he knows? Watching porn on a gaming console? "Scheiße, du bist sehr geil…"
Andre pinched Tobi's waist, "As if you're so pure!"
"OW!" He rubbed his affected waist, it hurted a lil too much. "You dirty little-" he tackled Andre to pinch at the same spot. Andre quickly defended himself with a pillow, pushing the ginger away.
Tobi was tactical, he stopped pushing himself and went around the pillow and caught the squishy waist and gripped it very hard, which made Andre laugh (he's ticklish). Tobi threw the pillow away and pinned him down with the latter's waist still in his grasp, Andre couldn't stop squirming and laughing.
"Say sorry now!" Tobi smirked, his hand squeezed harder on the waist. Andre whined, "Fodase, carai– aaaah fine! Sorry!!"
Tobi shook his head and looked closer into his eyes, "Say it properly, or else I'll tickle the other side."
"Okay okay, I'm sorry I pinched you!!!" Tobi finally let him go. He chuckled at Andre's submissiveness. 6 years older and yet he acts younger. Kind of cute, though.
Back to the game. Tobi inserted the game in the slot and waited. Andre was still recovering from that 'battle' a few seconds earlier. He was a little embarrassed as he never really showed him this side of himself to Tobi but it seems Tobi doesn't mind at all.
Tobi looked at Andre and gave him the controller, "C'mon, pick your team." Andre laid on his belly and grabbed the controller.
"We should do a truth or dare, everytime we score," Andre grinned. Tobi raised a brow, "Nah… I don't wanna answer your weird questions."
Andre whined, "You moodkiller…" He picked his character and started playing with Tobi.
They spent their whole night playing FIFA, Tobi won against Andre with 3-1. He kept teasing Andre with dances and making faces, which made Andre annoyed and slapped Tobi again (lightly on the forearm).
"Welp, we're done playing. What do you wanna do now?" Tobi asked. Andre shrugged. "I guess you can play it again, but I'll just watch."
"Why? Because you're upset that I beat you at 3-1? HAH!!!" Tobi smirked.
"Shut up!" Andre pinched Tobi again. Tobi glared at Andre once more, "Do you really wanna go through this again?" Tobi got his hands ready to grab him.
Andre quickly apologised and sat still, watching as Tobi replayed the game to himself. He rarely plays video games so he's naturally not used to these things. Oh well, at least he can be a spectator for Tobi.
Well. The only thing he did was screaming "Why did you pass it too early?!" "Gogogogogo ahh shit!!" "Fuck this game, man", which didn't really help Tobi to stay focused but it was alright. At least Tobi felt a little more connected with Andre. It was funny hearing Andre all hyped up for a silly pixelated video game.
~~~~~~~~~
Alas, Tobi lost to the computer with 1-2, but that night it wasn't the time to rage since he enjoyed the company next to him. Without even realising, he played for almost 4 hours nonstop.
"Ah, should we go to bed now?" Tobi asked. Andre scoffed, "You know I have trouble sleeping."
Tobi sighed, "But what about breakfast tomorrow? Surely you gotta sleep early. It's almost 1am now."
"In which part do you not understand I can't sleep?" Andre folded his arms. "If I can sleep, I would sleep now, definitely."
"I think I know what can help…" Tobi said, with a naughty tone. Andre raised his brow.
"Sometimes, all you need is a cuddle. C'mere." Tobi lied down and patted the empty spot next to him. Andre was embarrassed at first but Tobi somehow managed to smooth talk him to sleep together (which is just him making a puppy face).
Andre lied down hesitantly next to Tobi, he folded his glasses and put it on the desk. Tobi giggled, it's been a while since he acted childishly this way. "Let's try to make you sleepy, okay?" The ginger smiled. Andre, with his eyes squinted bat vision style, only managed to hum in agreement.
"You look cute with those eyes," Tobi pulled the blanket. "Can you see my face?"
"Ah, um… Barely…" Andre stuttered hearing Tobi's compliment. In fact he liked it, even when he couldn't see a damn thing for his whole life. "I have to be very up close to see you in HD."
"How close? Like this?" Tobi got closer to Andre's face, a few inches away from colliding. He whispered, "Can you see me now?"
"Yeah now I can see."
"Cool."
…
…
…
"Okay I think that's enough now," Andre pushed Tobi's face away slowly.
Tobi teasefully frowned and sighed, "I just wanted to stare at your handsome face, is it too much?"
"Shut up, Sammet…" the Brazilian man sighed and rolled over to the other side.
"Hey! Don't call me that, you sound like my teacher," Tobi slapped Andre's back lightly. "You can call me baby tho, hehe…"
"BOA NOITE!" Andre replied, whilst dimming down the lights. Tobi whined, "Ughhh I was just messing with you!"
Andre stayed silent, pretending to be asleep. Tobi groaned in annoyance, "Fine, Gute Nacht," he rolled over to his side roughly.
While Andre was silent, he was actually blushing and smiling the hell out of it. Sure, Tobi can be annoying but he can actually be sweet sometimes.
~~~~~~~~~
"I know you aren't sleeping, Andre." Tobi broke the silence and rolled over to face the long haired man. Andre rolled over and sighed, "What do you want now?"
"Actually… I just wanted to cuddle, because I've been feeling pretty down lately. Do you mind that?" Tobi whispered. Andre felt bad now for pushing him away.
"Oh, I don't mind…" Andre opened his arms wide and let Tobi slide in. Tobi fell into Andre's arms and leaned on his chest, hearing his synchronised heartbeat.
"Sorry about being mean earlier, I thought you were just playing with me," the dark haired latter spoke softly into the ginger's hair.
Tobi only managed to hum in response, he was feeling the warmth and softness of Andre's body. It was very rare for Andre to be this close in terms of physical touch, so he was savouring every second of it.
The ginger caressed the long hair behind the latter's back, the silky strands were beyond expectations, not to mention Andre's scent. It had a mix of a grandmother's ointment remedies and old people's cologne. And the soft yet firm flesh he grasped, heavenly. He wondered how a masculine man could have such feminine features at the same time. Nevertheless, it felt like nostalgia.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Andre interrupted Tobi's indulgence, he was actually surprised that Tobi would be this affectionate to the point of touching him like that. Not that he minded, though.
"No, I just wanna cuddle…" Tobi snuggled closer than ever, like a koala hugging a tree. He just wanted to feel his warmth.
"Okay then. Are you fine with me caressing you as well?" Andre asked in a sweet, angelic tone. Tobi swore he almost cried hearing that.
"Please do." Tobi whispered, trying not to cry but as soon as Andre blindly looked at Tobi's face and caressed his left cheek, his tears fell down fast.
Andre pitied the German guy, he must've been through horrible things to react like that. He then petted the latter's short hair, and assured him that whatever he was going through, it'd end up well sooner or later. Tobi sniffled and nodded, while still burying his face deep into Andre's neck.
Tobi eventually stopped crying and looked up at Andre, "Can you sing me something? I know it's a weird request but-"
"Hey, sure thing. I'll sing you a lullaby in Portuguese," Andre smiled and gently wiped Tobi's tears with his thumb. He sang softly and patted Tobi's arm lightly.
"Nana neném
Que a cuca vem pegar
Papai foi na roça
Mamãe no cafezal
Bicho papão
Sai de cima do telhado
Deixa o nenezinho dormir sossegado"
Within a minute, Tobi fell asleep like a baby. All that crying really knocked him out. The long haired latter smiled, how can a 31 year old be so cute? He stared long enough to make himself sleepy. Andre kissed Tobi's forehead and whispered, "Gute Nacht, mein Schatz."
