Rhys would hear light sobs and heavy breathing, it was midnight, and nobody should be awake, he opened his eyes and looks over towards Leif, he was shaking and scared, but he was asleep. Rhys walked over to him, sneaking past the rest and getting to the green-eyed boy. He wiped the tears on his face and from his eyes and tried to get past the shaking boy, crawling behind him on the couch he was laying on. Rhys laid down behind him, holding him close to his body as he played with Leif's hair, mostly rubbing his head and twirling some strands of his white hair. Leif's sobs began to die down as he rolled over and nuzzled into Rhys' chest, giving a soft smile in his sleep as his breathing calmed down, soon his breathing was calm and he was comfortable. Rhys smiled and kissed him on the forehead, falling asleep slowly while holding the smaller boy in his arms, resting his head on the shorter's hair, breathing in and out as he drifted off, Rhys knew Leif would freak out a little in the morning, but all he knew right now was that this was finally the chance that he could have the boy he loved in his arms.
