Vance stretched his arms out wide, his face plastered with a tired expression. As he began looking around at his surroundings after a comfortable night sleep, he found himself laying on Bruce's chest, an arm wrapped around Vances torso. He could hear Bruce's heartbeat, every beat slow and calm. He realised quick that Bruce was holding him quite tightly, therefore he was stuck.  He never expected to wake up like this and didn't want to screw up his one chance of having a friend all because of a stupid sleep position. He also didn't want to awaken Bruce as he felt it would make the situation alot more awkward and embarrassing than it could be. Vance shifted his head ever slightly, moving his eyes up, over to Bruce admiring his peaceful looking face. His lips were a slight pink, his soft hair just falling delicately infront of his forehead.
He looked beautiful.

After staring at Bruce for awhile he decided it was probably creepy to stare and that it was time to get up and try not to be caught. He attempted to lift Bruce's arm off of his waist which only lead to Bruce waking up. Shit . Vance felt his face turn warm, and probably really red aswell. Bruce tiredly opened his eyes, his brown eyes instantly meeting with the blondes blue eyes. Vance quickly looked away, not wanting Bruce to think he's a f*g for not being able to sleep in the same bed as another boy without getting flustered. Maybe he did like boys? Vance discarded that thought fast. "Why are you leaving?  I was sooo comfyy" Bruce whined as Vance fully sat up, only struggling a little bit since the other had been practically holding him down. Vance was abit surprised at how strong of a grip Bruce had, not expecting much from the boy.

"sorry for waking you" Vance said shyly, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "I'll only forgive you if you lay back down again" Bruce replied, smiling happily at the blonde haired boy. That only made him grow more flustered, hiding his face away from Bruce. "You okay? You're turning red" Bruce added sitting up beside Vance. "V?" Vance's face was burning at this point, the nickname, his smile, it was all too much for the blonde. He didn't even know why he was like this around Bruce, it's not like he's gay or anything. They hadn't even known each other for that long even and they were already sleeping over and hanging out.

Bruce grew concerned since the other hadn't responded. He reached his arm out and placed his hand on the side of Vances face gently turning Vance towards him. He looked into Vance's ocean blue eyes, feeling as if he could get lost in them at any moment. Vance averted his eyes away from Bruce's and began fiddling with the covers. "You feel really warm. Do you feel sick?" Bruce said holding a hand up against Vances forehead. "No im okay" Vance responded ushering Bruce's hand away. Bruce complied and moved his hand back to his side.

After a few minutes of awkward silence Bruce began to speak. "Soo, what now?" Vance looked back up at him, thankfully his face had gone back to normal instead of neon red. "I dunno. Oh! Wanna go to the grab n go??" Vance answered excitedly, his eyes suddenly lighting up. Bruce smiled at the adorable sight, wait adorable? "Yeah sure" Bruce said smiling at the other boy. It was a Saturday which meant they could do anything, so why not spend more time getting to know Vance better. Both boys decided to get up out of bed. "Wait..i didn't bring any clothes with me" Vance thought suddenly, not wanting to wear the same clothes he slept in. "You could borrow some of mine?" Bruce replied back, grabbing a pair of jeans and a neat wool green jumper to wear. "Yeah, okay" Vance said. Approaching Bruce's wardrobe he realized just how different their fashion tastes were. He dug around for abit and settled on a pair of light grey joggers and a slightly oversized plain white t-shirt. They took turns using the bathroom to get changed, Vance going first.

Walking out, Bruce began talking. "they fit okay?" Vance fidgeted with the ring that sat neatly on his hand. "Yeah..abit big but i guess it'll do" he said. "Good good..you look adorable by the way" Bruce added, making his way to the bathroom to change. Vance froze, his face turning crimson red. Adorable? He certainly wasn't expecting that. He tried thinking of anything else to take his mind off of it, but couldn't. Bruce didn't take long changing and made his way over to Vance, running a hand through his hair. "You ready to go?" Bruce asked nudging Vances arm lightly. "Y-yeah" was all Vance managed to get out. He hated when he stuttered.

They both put their shoes on and began the walk to the grab n go.
