Work Text:

Smitty struggles to keep his eyelids open but at least he did. He found himself sleeping on top of Matt on the couch, with Matt laying down on the bottom and his head rested on the arm rest. Smitty turned his head to the right, his eyes were now being blinded by the painfully bright tv screen. His arms scrambled to find the tv remote on the coffee table before finding the it and clicking the power off button. The provided light disappeared and the living room was now dark. Smitty now sat on his elbows, making sure not to poke Matt in the ribs. Smitty looked down, seeing Octavia sleep peacefully on the floor in front of the couch. Looking up again and a little bit to the left, on the smaller couch, laid Bob and Dough sharing a cousin. Everyone in the house had been peacefully sleeping tonight, felt very surreal. Well at least for Smitty.

 

For a while now he couldn’t get a break, being caught up with work, streaming, meetings, he couldn’t find himself going easy on himself. Matt, being to loving and caring boyfriend he is, noticed these signs in Smitty and took matters in his own hands. Today, Matt sat down Smitty to watch a horribly funny movie, blankets wrapped around each other, Smitty’s head resting on Matt’s shoulder. Eventually Smitty was ontop of Matt but he never remembers getting tired and the both of them falling asleep. Suddenly, Smitty felt this light force push him back down on Matt’s chest. Matt’s arms wrapped around Smitty’s back and lightly hugging him like some sort of doll. “Where you think you’re going buddy?” Matt slowly mumbles, he’s still tired and barely comprehending life at the moment.

 

Smitty had a small smile tug on his lips like the we’re playing tug-a-war, “I’m going no where don’t worry”.

 

”Better not be lyin”

 

“What if I am, now what?”

 

”You wouldn’t lie such a thing to me,”

 

Smitty didn’t have a response as Matt was telling the truth. “Look, you need to rest. I’ve been seeing you work your ass off and you haven’t given yourself a break,” Matt said, waking up a bit. His palm smoothly rides up and down Smitty’s back a few times before moving up to his hair, his fingers combing through this curly strands. Smitty exhales through his nose in response, relaxing his head on Matt’s slowly rising chest. He could hear his soft heart beat through his hoodie. “So, let’s just stay like this,” Matt says, “Forever.”. Smitty liked the sound of that. Matt’s arms move from hugging Smitty to bring back the blanket they had kicked off, perfectly placing it as it covered them from their shoulders to their feet. His arms snake back on Smitty’s spine on top of his shirt. Smitty lifted up his head and cupped Matt’s face, his unshaven face tickles his fingers, before pulling him in for a sleepy kiss.

 

Giving that the living room was almost pitch black, it was hard to see his facial features let alone his entire face, thought Smitty made his way. He first accidentally kissed the side of Matt’s lips, which escaped a tired giggle in response. Then somehow he kiss Matt’s nose before finding his lips. It felt long and passionate for how tired the two were. Smitty’s head laid back down on Matt’s chest again, deciding to get some well deserved rest. The warmth of Matt mixed fluffy blanket, back rubbing and hair playing made Smitty all the more sleepy. He felt Matt’s head creep over to Smitty’s, littering small kisses on his temple and forehead. Smitty looped his arms around Matt’s neck, pulling himself closer to the younger man. His eyelids start to become heavy again, he even started to black out for a few seconds. Matt all the while shushed him quietly to go to sleep and to stop sub consciously fighting it. Smitty sighed letting his eyelids drop, feeling the last kiss from his lover before drifting off to sleep.
