Bruce POV:
The rest of the night goes smoothly. I call my parents to tell them where I am and what I am doing so they don't panic after they come home from work, Vance's mom brings us dinner which is Mac and cheese and it is the best thing ever.

Vance and I worked on our project and talked and got to know each other in between the breaks we took. It turns out he can be really sweet.

I must have fallen asleep at some point because one second Vance was rehearsing what we have so far for our presentation and the next he was poking my face whispering softly "Hey Bruce, wake up, it is 9:30"

It takes me a few minutes but I eventually wake up and realise that I am laying on my stomach on Vance's bed with one of his pillows under my head.

(This but at the bottom of his bed)

I lift my head up and my brown eyes meeting his bright blue ones.

Vance POV:
Bruce has been asleep for about 10 minutes. I can't keep my eyes off him, I know I should be doing the project but he just looks so peaceful....

.... maybe even cute .......... in a totally platonic way though! Haha!

Oh who am I kidding, he is so fucking adorable right now! And NOT in a platonic way!

I must have lost track of time as before he fell asleep it was 9:00 PM and now it was 9:30 PM. Bruce should probably get home soon. So I decide to wake him up. After he properly wakes up, his beautiful brown eyes look into mine.

I glance quickly at his lips for not even a millisecond before catching myself, but god I want to kiss him right now. I don't of course because as my father keeps saying ,whenever he actually shows up for a birthday or a holiday that is, "being gay is wrong and you will go to hell for it".

"It is late, you should probably get going" I say to Bruce. He sits up stretching and yawning. He looks like a little kitten. God he is so adorable, I know I barely just met him but he is the closest thing I have had to a real friend in so many years. Also with how popular he is at school, everyone talks about him making it seem like he is actually there and you actually know him.

Bruce POV:
After saying goodbye to Vance and his mum a few minutes later as well as packing all my things away, it is 9:45 and I have just arrived outside my house.

I unlock the door announcing to my parents that it is only me and that I am going to bed. They say ok and then I am up the stairs and outside my room. I open the door and walk in.

I instantly just kick off my shoes and throw my backpack on the floor as well as looking in my closet for pyjamas.

I get changed and then lay in bed only leaving my fairy lights on
