Best Friends? (Krii7y)

Cold Cuddling

"Hey guys, what're you doing here so early?"

John gave him a weary look and grabbed my hand.

"We're here early to help set up for the party, and we're also here to help pick up afterward." I said.

"You guys were just having sex, weren't you?"

John's voice was straightforward and honest.

Both of their faces turned red and they glanced at each other.

"No, we- we weren't-"

"It's not like that guys-"

John cracked a grin, "Cause if you were, Evan owes me like, 10 dollars."

Both of them let out relieved laughs.

"No," Craig took a breath, "We weren't fucking, but you did interupt us."

Tyler's face was a bright pink. "You didn't have to tell them that." His voice was quiet, obviously embarrassed.

"So what about you two?" Tyler redirected his voice to us and heotioned to our hands, "You guys together? I mean it's kind of suspicious you arrived together as well."

My face went pink and John shook his head, "No, and Jaren was staying out my house for a few days, surprise visit."

I nodded silently, last night fresh on my mind.

Craig nodded, "Well, it's almost 6 and you guys still need to get a tour and set up your stuff." He moved out of the doorway, dragging Tyler behind him.

"It's about time." John muttered under his breath.

I just grinned and we walked inside.

~•~•~•~•~•~

We had gotten settled inside and it was 10 at night.

I was laying down on one of Craig's spare bed and I couldn't sleep.

I had stolen the pair of John's clothes that I had on last night, to sleep in.

And I couldn't sleep.

I was just too cold, the blanket wasn't warm enough.

I huffed and climbed out of bed, venturing out to find John.

As I reached his door, I jumped back when I heard it creak open.

"John?" I whispered out.

I saw him jump slightly and turn towards me. "Jaren? What are you doing up?"

I looked at the floor, my face warming up.

"...I couldn't sleep, so I came to find you."

I heard him let out a small laugh, before he grabbed my hand.

"That's kind of funny, I was doing the same thing."

Looking up at him in surprise, I saw warmth in his eyes.

"Okay, can we go to bed now?"

He let out another laugh, before pulling me close and kissing the top of my head, "Of course Smiithers."

~•~•~•~•~•~

"Hey John, breakfast is almost-"

"Shhh!"

I groaned, ready to get up before I felt someone brushing my hair.

Then I decided getting up wasn't worth the effort.

"Wait why- oh, that's Jaren."

I tightened my arm's grip on John's stomach and groaned, can't I just go back to sleep?

"Yeah, and he's asleep, so can you give me a bit to wake him up?"

"Well, um, yeah I guess, but why is he here in the first place?"

John's fingers kept running through my hair, "Well, when he stayed over at my house, we had to share a bed because he refused to let me take the couch and I didn't have a spare bed."

I heard him let out a small chuckle  before he started twisting my hair in certain ways.

"I guess he got used to sharing a bed with someone, though I can't blame him," John let out a quiet laugh, "I got up to go find him last night as well."

Craig was silent for a moment, "Okay, well just make sure that you're both up before breakfast gets cold, okay?"

I felt John nod before the sound of the door closing softly.

"I know you're up Jaren." I could feel John's smirk through his words.

I grinned, "Can't I just sleep a little longer? Please John?"

I looked up at John giving him my best puppy-dog eyes.

I heard him curse under his breath and he looked away from me.

"You heard what Craig said, besides, aren't you hungry?"

I let out a groan, "Fine, but when 10 comes I'm expecting you to warn me up again John."

John didn't say anything, so I looked up at him.

His face was bright red, and he was avoiding my stare.

My eyes widened and I scrambled to find my words.

"That- I didn't- I didn't mean it like that!"

John let out a short laugh, "Don't stress it, let's just get up and give eat, yeah?"

I gave John a grin.

"Yeah."
