Work Text:
Legundo was done with existing. All of this week he's had one issue or another to deal with. Safe to say, he was ready to pass out for atleast a full day.
But alas, his godforsaken brain would never let that happen. So there he layed on his bed, Gadget curled up next to him, seemingly facing the same issue. Legs let out a long and exhausted groan and slapped his hands onto his eyes. The only thing he could think about was AJ's words. Ofcourse, he knew he wasn't to blame for Zam's condition, Ambear made sure of it, but he still spiraled. Just like a wheel.
It was late. Dead of night. Yet, attempt after attempt, rest refused to settle into Leg's bones. He was so severely over it he decided to do something he never thought he'd do again.
"Gadget? You wanna go see penny?"
Gadget immediately sprung up and leaped toward the door before Legs could get his shoes on. Hastily shoving on some socks and his boots, he prepared to leave his dorm. And then remembered he slept shirtless. He grabbed an oversized shirt he had gotten from the merchants in town. He like it because it was blue and comfy. And maybe also possibly because Sausage had complimented it the first time he wore it. He flushed at the memory before finally stepping out of the door and into the cold dormitory.
He walked up the stair case stopping every so often to make sure Gadget could keep up. He walked past various rooms with the names plastered above the door before reaching the end of the hall with the door that read "Sausage." He would never cease to be amazed by the sheer amount of copper visible from the window in the door.
"This is so stupid.." he muttered before knocking firmly on the cold door.
"Saus? You awake?"
Stepping back from the door, he heard a thudding that slowly came into realization as footsteps. All of a sudden the door swung open and he was met with the face of a man far too excited for how late it was.
"Legs! Hi! Come in, come in, please!"
Sausage carefully stepped aside enough for Legs to enter and shut the door behind him. Gadget immediately bolted off towards where he believes he saw penny laying.
"To what do I owe the pleasure?"
Shit. Leg's did NOT think this through. What was he supposed to say????
"I- uh. Sorry. Ehem. I kinda couldn't sleep and- well I was thinking about how the other day in class we, uhm."
Embarrassment crawled up his throat and stopped him from speaking. Luckily, the brunette seemed to understand what he meant.
"Ohhh! You know you can just ask to cuddle anytime, hermoso!"
There it was again. Ever since the first class they had, Saus had been calling him nicknames in a language he didn't know, but suspected it to be spanish. This time the blush spreading up his neck wasn't from his traitor of a brain. Instead, it was simply how Sausage spoke of such intimate things. He seemed gleeful, even.
"S-sorry im just still getting used to physical touch as a casual thing."
As a kid, Olsted wasn't fond of physical affection. The most he'd get was a pat on the back or a fist bump. No time to wallow in self pity, though. Sausage had already grabbed Leg's hand and led him up to where his bed was. Hesitantly, he sat on the edge of the bed.
"Im gonna go change into something more sleep-worthy. You just get comfortable, i'll be right back!"
Legundo let out a small nod and watched Sausage walk away. He took his boots off, setting them against the wall, and layed down on the bed and oh my gods was it comfy. It smelled nice too. Like metal and grass. Was that weird to think? Oh whatever.
Turning to his side he stared at the ground. A minute or two later, he heard footstep comming towards him and looks up to to see Sausage wearing-.... just pj pants. Thats it. No top. He whipped his head back to the floor fast enough to make himself dizzy.
He felt the mattress dip at the weight of Sausage. And then he felt a strong pair of arms wrap around his waist. And then it hit him that he was being spooned. He had honestly only learned about what it was through books. Because of course he did.
Sausage was warm. Probably because of him literally being powered by the sun. The taller mans hand drifted under the others shirt and with feather light touches drew shapes on his sensitive skin. By sensitive, he means he could feel the other shudder. It didnt take long for Legs to finally pass out and get the rest he completely deserved.
Once Sausage was sure he was dead asleep, he pressed a soft kiss on the top of his head. He nuzzled his head into the others neck, muttering soft words he'd wanted to say but couldn't risk scaring his futuro novio away with. He let his hand wander up the smaller boys torso. Just as a treat for keeping himself in control for everytime he'd wanted to pounce on the other. He felt around where his stomach and chest meet, but never went higher. Not yet. Not untill the other would say he wanted it too.
