Work Text:
You, Maxwell, Ezra, and Jimmy are all going to bed
You got uncomfortable with the idea of sleeping in a bed with Jimmy
So Maxwell volunteered himself to sleep in a bed with you.
Not like anything would happen anyway, right?
You go to bed, throw your sleep mask on and turn your rain noises on.
It’s the night before nationals.
You try to sleep, well. More like stay still.
You don’t wanna bother Maxwell, you know he’s especially nervous.
But you hear something
Your bed creaks, through the gap in your sleep mask you see Maxwell sitting up.
“Are they asleep?” He whispers so quietly
“Probably” answer Ezra, his best friend
“Good” he answers back “what do I do now?”
You can tell Ezra has gotten out of bed and is standing next to the beside.
“Just, lay on top of them slowly I guess? This was your idea.” Ezra says, he sounds very unsure
You feel and can slightly see Maxwell crawl over to you, he throws a leg over yours, putting his right hand on your left shoulder as you feel his head settle onto your collar bone
You feel Maxwell nod, and hear Ezra going back into his bed. Jimmy must already be asleep.
He’s still, so are you, he thinks you’re sleeping for fucks sake!
He sighs softly and whispers so quietly you can barely hear him
“You know…I’m really scared” he says “I do love you, I know I shouldn’t.”
You feel him sigh again before feeling him readjust himself to get more comfy, sliding closer to your neck
You feel the lightest…’kisses’ you’ve ever felt.
He’s not even kissing your neck, just pressing his lips against it over and over
After a few ‘kisses’ he rests fully on top of you
Unfortunately, for you and him, your body twitches
He almost leaps off of you, frozen sitting on the bed
He relaxes after realizing you’re not ‘awake’
But he doesn’t lay back on you, just laying back down.
You roll over with a groan to face his side, sadly enough when you do so all you can see is his back
~~~~~
20 minutes go by, maybe more, maybe less
You decide that, you can’t take this anymore. You pretend to groan, sitting up slightly in bed, pulling your sleep mask up to comfortably rest on your forehead
You look over at Maxwell, he’s still turned away from you
“Maxwell?” You ask in the quietest voice
You see his head turn towards you, he looks slightly shocked
You lay back down, holding eye contact and then stretching your arms out towards him. Wanting to cuddle
He stares at you confused before rolling over to face you, he quirks an eyebrow at you
“Cuddling?” You say incredulous
His eyes widen
“Please?” You ask, trying not to sound too much like a pick-me
He nods and inches towards you, as you lay back down on your back he assumes the same position from earlier, when he thought you were still sleeping
“Is this good?” He mumbles
You nod and wrap your arms around him, even though you can’t see him very well in the dim light you can tell he’s probably blushing
It doesn’t take long for him to pass out
He snores softly on your chest
Before conking out yourself you kiss his forehead and say
“I love you too Maxwell”

You two end up staying like that until morning.
The end! ❤️
