You are such a bookworm

It's after training, and Steren is trying to rest... but Ad isn't having it.

"Will you come back to mine?" Steren asks as Adelram is busy packing away his training equipment. He grabs his water bottle from his bag.

"Of course," He replies with a small smirk, and Steren looks away, cheeks hot. Adelram takes a huge guzzle, and wipes sweat away from his brow. Steren's wet hair drips onto the bench, damp from his shower. Once Adelram is packed they walk back to Steren's apartment in the knight's center, giggling and laughing as though they were children again, stumbling in the dark of the night.

Steren's room is dirty as they return, and they rush to clear things from the bed, throwing it into a draw hurriedly and embarrassed. They aren't usually one for mess, but this week just hasn't been their week. Then, as Ad hangs his bag on the chair by the door, Steren has a great idea. He gets up and pinches a book from the bookshelf by the wardrobe, mainly consisting of non-fiction books. This week he has been reading one on mushrooms and their healing abilities, and opens to his most recent page, and sinking into the pillow behind.

Adelram turns around, about to say something but raises an eyebrow as he sees Steren on the bed reading. "Reading huh?" he asks, folding his arms. Steren licks a finger and flicks to the next page. "Yep," they say, not taking their eyes off the page, something abut Chanterelle helping with your sleep... "Its really interesting actually,"

"I bet," Ad's eyes narrow in amusement, then, to Steren's surprise he turns around and heads to the kitchenette, rummaging in the cupboards. Steren ignores him, but looks out the corner of his eye to see Adelram holding a box of 'Pop Cakes', and putting two in the toaster.

"What are you..." Steren goes to say.

"Don't worry, I put you down a strawberry one. I know they're your favourite."

Steren waits patiently for the toaster to pop, continuing their facade of reading. Usually he would be genuinely interested, but right then all they could do was think of Adelram in front of him. After a minute or two, Adelram turns and brings over the plate of 'Pop Cakes', standing by the edge of the bed he bites into it, purposefully dropping crumbs to get Steren's attention. Steren hated mess, and sure enough they look up to see Ad smirking at the end of the bed. Brows furrowed, Steren flick his attention back to the page, placing his leg over his knee to block Adelram from his sight. Then suddenly, Adelram launches himself from the foot of the bed, pushing Steren's leg away and landing on top of him.

"Ad!" Steren laughs, trying to push him away with the cover of the book. They laugh again, as Ad squashes him.

"I see what your playing at," jokes Adelram, prising the book from his hands. He went to throw it, but seeing Steren's eyes widen he gently placed it on the bed-side table and sat on top of him. Steren breathed heavily, and Ad leant down to face level. "You're such a bookworm," he said warmly, and kissed him.
