Work Text:
It was a week after returning from the library, and Eugene had finally let varian and hugo share a room. He had Hugo sleep in the room next door, since y'know, why would he trust PIANO KID around Varian?
Either way Raps had thankfully convinced him.
"C'mon Eugene! Are you really gonna seperate LOVERS?"
So, it was the first night they finally got to share a bed!
Hugo had been wearing what he's worn for the past week; a t-shirt and shorts to bed. What hes always worn, even back in ingvarr.
That was a problem. Why?
You see; Ingvarr was fairly chilly, Corona was NOT. The second Hugo walked in he felt like he had stepped foot into a oven.
And unfortunetly, it wasn't any less toasty at night.
"Ehh ill be fine" was his mind set. Sure he was sweating buckets each night, but he'd get used to it!
To bad Varian wasn't on board with it.
Varian and Hugo got into bed, pulled up the covers, put out the lights, and went to sleep.
Or, atleast tried to
Hugo, was sweating buckets. He felt as hot as a dam toaster strudel. He was tossing and turning under the covers.
Varian, was trying to cuddle him. Emphasis on trying. Hugo was slippery as hell. Varian could barely on hold.
"Okay whats going on," varian questioned, reaching for the lamp.
He caught a glimpse of him. Very shiny and his shirt was stained.
"Holy- Hugo your'e sweating buckets! Are you okay!?" His voice was laced with concern.
"What do you mean," hugo forced out. "Im completely fine!" He followed up with a grin. A very fake one to be honest.
This clearly didn't fool Varian, since he looked like a wet cat. He stared at him with disapointment.
Hugo folded "okay... Listen, im not used to corona's heat. I mean, everday and night its like im sitting in an oven! How do you survive like this!?"
Varian was just quiet. Staring like he was thinking up a solution
"...Take off your shirt."
"WHAT!?"
"you heard me. Shirt. Off."
"W-Why!?"
"Because I love you idiot!" And I wont let someone I love torture and cook themself! Why'd you not think of this sooner!?"
Flustered, hugo admitted "well, i mean i did but... it would be awkward to sleep shirtless..."
"Hugo...."
Varian helped him out of his shirt throwing it onto a nearby chair.
"Feel better?"
"Yeah," hugo admitted with a huff. "Much better."
They settled back into bed, varian finally able to hold hugo without the feeling of holding a wet cat.
And eventually, they fell asleep. Honk mimimimimkmkmim
