Middle of The Night

Phil woke up, groggy.
It was hours past midnight and he woke up suddenly because he was so thirsty.
Literally parched.

As he familiarized himself with his surroundings, he turned over and saw Darrell, who was sound asleep.

He almost wanted to smile, seeing him there. Darrell whined in his sleep, stretching out a bit more straight before stilling again.

Phil admired him for a minute; his tank riding all the way up, the afro of curly hair and it's messiness.

Phil reached up and pushed Darrell's hair away from his eyes gently , his heart fluttering as he looked at his sleeping face.

Fuck, he loved the shit out of Darrell.

Phil was urged out of bed by his need for water, gently getting up and trying not to wake Darrell.

He quietly padded out the room and down the hall, going into the kitchen and looking for a glass.

He leaned against the sink and filled it, his brain working slowly from the sleepiness.

He sipped the water, immediately feeling a lot better as he downed nearly half of it in one go.

It was a nice night out, everything was quiet and still at the Abbott's house -
He looked over at Rex sleeping like a baby on the couch - and felt calm inside.

He thought back to Darrell, ready to head back to bed -

"Phil - ? " Bleary-eyed Darrell walked up to him, only in his underwear and that cropped tank.

He wrapped his arms around Phil, resting his chin on his shoulder.

"Mmmm... What're you doin'.." Darrell mumbled so quietly.

"Just getting a drink, babes.." Phil petted Darrell's head, smiling.

"You want some?" Phil suggested, offering it to Darrell.

Darrell very subtly nodded.

Phil tilted the glass just barely as Darrell took a drink from it . Darrell sighed afterwards, licking his lips and yawning.

Phil took another drink right after him before he set it down, wrapping his arms around Darrell's shoulders and closing his eyes.

He was so in love.

"You'shud come back to bed." Darrell mumbled against Phil's neck.

"I was planning on it, baby.." he pressed the softest kiss to the crown of Darrell's head.

Darrell pulled away, sleepily grabbing two of Phil's fingers and leading the younger back to his room.

Darrell let Phil crawl into his bed first before he joined, snuggling right into Phil's arms that where gently holding him.

Phil rubbed Darrell's back in slow strokes, his other arm holding him close.

"I love you Diamond..." Phil whispered.

"I love you too Munyea.." Darrell mumbled.

Phil and Darrell fell asleep together, so much love shared between them.
