3rd person POV :

Arlo woke up warm and sweaty, clear that he had had some kind of 'dream', so now here he was hard and under John's unconscious body as the raven hair boy slept. Arlo was scared to move him, in fear of waking him up, he need to calm himself down, he started thinking of anything to get his mind off of that, his mother, his grandmother, hell even his cat, nothing was working he always seemed to drift back to that, and with John's consistent shuffling in his place, Arlo was starting to lose it.

The next thing Arlo knew he had his head in the crook of John's neck and was lightly grinding into the unconscious body, he stopped as soon as he realised what he was doing, 'I need to fucking leaveeeee-' he screamed internally to himself. He lightly pushed John off of him and stood up to go to the bathroom to solve his.. 'issue', as he reached the door.. "Arlo..? Where are you going..?" John said, freshly woken, and still tired as all hell-, "W-Well, I just needed the bathroom if you don't mind", Arlo loosened his grip on the door frame and tried to act natural, "may I..?" The blonde king said trailing off, "yeah, its third door *yawn* on the right.." John said snuggling up in the covers once again, shivering slightly. Only then did he notice the cold and damp environment he was standing in, only in a t-shirt and knee length shorts, the freezing cold of the rainy night they just slept through.

Arlo dragged his freezing ass to the bathroom still even though he was almost sure the freezing cold had sorted his 'problem', he still needed to check though. He got into the small-ish room and locked the door, pulling back the bands of his shorts and boxers, it was fixed, mostly. So, happy with the resolution he quickly faked going to the bathroom, flushing the toilet, and leaving, back to the living room where his John was.

He walked back through the door, shaking and shivering, and made his way over to the half asleep John still snuggled in blankets, "J-John, can I go back under the blanket.. it's cold.." he asked his teeth chattering slightly, John opened up the side of the blanket to let Arlo in and the tall blonde quickly took the opening and jumped in next to John. After John realised the blanket wouldn't go over the both of them in that position, he clumsily got into Arlo's lap, still exhausted and tired, and enclosed the blanket over the both of them. All Arlo could do was fluster, John has, and probably will never, be so affectionate towards him, he was just really, really tired. The tall blonde took it as a blessing from some unknown guardian angel and clung onto the small man in his lap as if he was suddenly going to dissolve into thin air, he of course did not.

They stayed like that for a few hours, until, "Shit- we had school-" John said, sitting up fully on Arlo's lap and pushing his hands against the king's chest as support, "oh.." Arlo said coming to terms with the fact, "Fucccckkkkkkkk-" the blonde said quickly grabbing his phone off of the coffee table and checking the time, "12:47.." the blonde said quietly, "John" Arlo said redirecting his attention to the younger man, "do you really want to go to school?" Arlo said gently, looking slightly down at John, his hands still sturdy on the kings chest, "I mean not really but I have to" the ravenet pouted and tried to get up, Arlo wrapped his arms around John's waist and pulled him back down onto him, "I'm calling the school to say we aren't going today" Arlo picked up is phone and did exactly as he said, all the while a flustered john laid speechless on his chest, "Thankyou sir, have a good day" and then he hung up, John hadn't so much as breathed too deeply, scared of moving, but not scared as in terrified, scared as in confused internal screaming, and what Arlo was doing was definitely not helping, the blonde had proceeded to nuzzle his face into the crook of John's neck and fall half asleep.

John was just so confused, 'why was Arlo so clingy all of a sudden!? When did he get this close to me!? Why did I let him this close in the first place!?' Finally the cripple spoke up, "Arlo" the hesitation in his voice made himself cringe, "can we talk about something?" Arlo's head shot up and he looked at John whither what one could only describe as puppy dog eyes, "sure John" he beamed,

"Why are you so close to me all of a sudden?"

Arlo dreaded this question and was hoping that John should never ask it, I mean it's only been a day or two since he managed to get back here and things already sounded like they were going down hill, "I love you John" Arlo said without processing what he said properly, 'John's going to freak out and think in sick or something again..' he internally monologued as John thought, "okay then, if you really love me, prove it" John said proudly, "p-prove it?" 'How can I prove it?' Arlo thought confused at John basicaly just accepting the situation,
"Yeah, if you love me, then you'll listen to me, right?"
"Yeah of course John"
"Will you try and adhere to the things I ask of you?"
"I would do anything you want to be happy"
"Your not just being a dick and this is all a prank right?"
"No, never in a million years John"
"Okay then, I want you to take down the schools hierarchy, all of it, get rid of it"
Arlo paused, could he do that?
No, it wasnt a question, he was going to do that, for john, so he could get his happy ending, so john never had to do what he'd end up doing if the hierarchy took over

"Whatever you want firefly ~"
