He spluttered and hid his face in his shirt, a smile pulling at his lips no matter how hard he tried to stifle it. He seemed to grow an impossible shade of pinkish red and put his hands on his cheeks to cool them down. "Mean." He pouted, but the comment was only half serious.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Well, I think this is better than me reacting in a negative way, don't you?" Alex gently pressed one hand into the boy's lower back, "I'd actually hoped that you had a crush on me."

[∂яινє му ωσℓƒ ωιℓ∂ ♥]

Nikolas' expression grew shadowed and he nodded, eyes clouded. It cleared after a minute and he glanced shyly at him. "My brother's gonna smack me on the head for not doing this sooner." He muttered.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Mmm, no. I'll protect you from your grumpy big brother. He's my parabatai after all. I can take him on," Alex smiled and kissed Nikolas's forehead.

[∂яινє му ωσℓƒ ωιℓ∂ ♥]

He snorted and grinned, turning mischievous eyes on him before launching himself on the Russian. Three exact seconds later and he had all of his limbs wrapped around the other one, chin resting on his shoulder and eyes heavy lidded in content. He sighed happily and nuzzled closer to his body. "Warm..." He breathed. "Cuddly..."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Alex chuckled and rubbed the boy's back gently, "If I stand up, will you hold onto me?"

[∂яινє му ωσℓƒ ωιℓ∂ ♥]

He yawned and hummed in commitment, tightening his arms and legs around him a bit to voice his acknowledgment.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

The Russian got to his feet, keeping one hand on Nicky's back, "I figure we'll be more comfy snuggling in bed."

[∂яινє му ωσℓƒ ωιℓ∂ ♥]

"And fluffy blankies..." He whispered, rubbing his face into his shoulder.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Yes, and fluffy blankets," Alex grinned, trotting down the hallway to his bedroom.

[∂яινє му ωσℓƒ ωιℓ∂ ♥]

"And comfy pillows... and... comfy..." He sighed, starting to fall asleep.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Alexsander chuckled and kissed his head, carrying him over to the bed.

[∂яινє му ωσℓƒ ωιℓ∂ ♥]

He snuggled into his chest, mumbling and scratching the back of his head.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

He climbed into bed, pulling the sheets over both of them, "There you go," Alex cooed, kissing his head.

[∂яινє му ωσℓƒ ωιℓ∂ ♥]

He wiggled his nose in distaste at the slightly wet-on-skin-while-otherwise-comfy-cozy kiss, flailing his hand tiredly around his forehead to wipe away whatever remnants of i'm-sleepy-and-you-kinda-sorta-woke-me-up. As if that would actually work, considering back in his mind he was having a spazztastic screaming fit while his brain hopped around cryingwith all it's might I'm in his bed! I'm in his bed! I'm in his be-eeed~ and a side of oh my Angel I can't believe this is happening I must be dreaming don't you dare wake me up good dream.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Alex chuckled and held onto him a little tighter, his fingers brushing against Nikolas' hip, "Sorry."

[∂яινє му ωσℓƒ ωιℓ∂ ♥]

Nikolas shivered, snuggling closer to him with a short purr and nuzzling his face into his shirt.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Alex nestled his face in Nikolas's hair, humming softly to him.

[∂яινє му ωσℓƒ ωιℓ∂ ♥]

Half an hour later, a rather short nap compared to his record, he stirred, the set of his body looking relaxed and peaceful. He couldn't feel his foot or his hand, but that was insignificant when face to face with a person who practically embodied every attractive word in the English and Russian dictionary.

"Hi." Despite being just a few inches away from each other, he waved awkwardly at him.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Alex chuckled and kissed his nose, hands lightly kneading at the boy's lower back, "Hello there."
