Zayn's nose is currently sticking on the laptop screen. He has been working on a part of his dissertation which is due next week. The amount of workload and the so little time he has compromises the quality of his output. He never is the type of person who likes to submit mediocre works.

He could here the soft sound of rain outside the condo amidst the constant soft buzzing of the air-conditioner.

He pushed his glasses up.

Zayn's elbows are resting on his working desk while his boyfriend is busy with his phone. Liam likes to stay up with him. No, scratch that. Liam LOVES to stay up late that it perplexes him where the boy got all the willpower to keep his eyes open after a long arduous day.

His eyes darted on the top right corner of his laptop's screen. "Darling," he called as he continues typing.

"Hmm?" Liam hummed.

"You have to sleep. It is already an hour past midnight and you have a schedule tomorrow morning at seven," he said.

"But I miss you," Liam replied with small voice and by the sound of it, his boyfriend is pouting. 'He is sleepy,' he thought.

He turned to look at Liam. Indeed, Liam is pouting. "We don't want you grumpy tomorrow morning, babe."

His boyfriend huffed stubbornly. "But I miss you."

Zayn sighed. "I promise. I'll make it up to you later, okay?"

"Later is too far away, love," Now, Liam is sulking. He really is sleepy because his boyfriend is extra grumpy when sleepy. 'I mean, who isn't?' "I want you in bed, cuddle with me, kiss me goodnight and hug me in my sleep. I feel cold."

"The blanket is thick," he deadpanned.

Liam kicked his feet. "I want you to sleep with me."

He smirked. "I know."

Liam's face is now red from irritation. "Sleep, Zayn, as in with closed eyes and dreaming about rainbows and unicorns."

"Oh," he feigned surprise.

He really needs to finish majority of his paper because his schedule will be more packed in the coming days.

Liam is currently grumbling lowly of how he missed him and of how hard-working he is that he does not have enough time to rest. And that is true. Zayn really does not have enough time to rest this week.

He heaved a deep sigh. "Come here," Zayn pats his lap. "You can sit here until I'm done with this."

The pouty and sleepy Liam crawled and climb off the bed. He pushed away a little from the desk to give more space as Liam transferred on his lap.

Liam immediately tucked his face in his neck, placed arms over his shoulders, hugging his neck, and relaxed. He chuckled, "You good?"

The younger snuggled closer as if they weren't close enough to begin with. "So good, hmmm. So good for me."

Kissing Liam's jaw, he proceeds to type on his laptop.

Ten minutes on He can feel the deep patterned breathing of the person between his arms and it drew a smile on his face.

'He really can sleep everywhere.'

His fingers paused from typing and he whispered in his lover's ear, "Dream of rainbows and unicorns. I love you."
