Lando’s never been a reader, being diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age took any thought of that away. But what Lando did enjoy with listening to his boyfriend read to him. Oscar is quite a big reader, reading just about every night before bed and most nights ended up just like this one.
Oscar was sitting up in bed, back against the headboard. Lando was laying on his side, back against Oscar’s legs while scrolling on his phone. Oscar was so engrossed in his book that he didn’t even notice Lando plugging his phone in and leaving it on his nightstand before rolling over so his head was now resting on Oscar’s lap.
“Osc, can you read to me?” Lando asked, eyes staring up at Oscar. Oscar moved the book enough so he could see Lando’s eyes. Oscar smiled down at him, eye soft as he ran his fingers through Lando’s hair.
“Give me a minute. I have one page left then I’m done the chapter and I’ll read more of your book.” Lando smiled. Even though he didn’t read he still wanted to read some books that he missed growing up. They already read through the Harry Potter books and were now on the third hunger games book. Oscar never complained, even though he’s already read all these books, he just let Lando pick the next series they would read after they were done. When Oscar finished with his book he set it on the bedside table and grabbed Lando’s book.
“Ready?” Oscar asked, opening up to where they left off a couple days ago. They were almost done this book, only 6 chapter left. Lando nodded, getting comfortable with his head resting on Oscar’s stomach. Oscar’s voice was soft and gentle, making suer he said each word carefully. Lando sometimes even got confused hearing so many words if they were said too loud or fast so Oscar had found a cadence that let Lando listen without getting confused. It was also the perfect tone to put him to sleep.
Oscar knew when Lando started to fall asleep. The arm Lando wrapped around Oscar’s waist started to slip. His head was bobbing, instead of trying to look at the book his head was resting heavily on Oscar’s stomach. Oscar kept reading until Lando’s eyes fully slipped closed and his breathing evened out. Oscar put the bookmark in and set it on the table. He turned off his light before lying down. Lando curled around Oscar as soon as he laid down. Oscar would read to Lando as long as he wanted, seeing how happy Lando got when Oscar read to him made Ocsar’s day everything.
