Marlon sat awake at his desk, flicking through the multiple pages of a script.
His desktop lamp flickered in the dark room, illuminating his shiny hair. He sighed, visibly tired.
Newton standing beside Marlon with his arms folded, trying to get him to put away the script and go to sleep.
"Marlon,, you can look through it tomorrow. Or today, just later in the morning if you want to be logistical." Newton said, trying to gently take the script from Marlons hand.
"No, I forgot to read through it and I wont be able to remember anything for tomorrow's performance,, the show has to go on and it cannot if i break character midway, that just will not do." Marlon replied with a huff.
He continued to read the same page over and over and over again. He wasn't exactly reading it, more like skimming through the whole paper trying to memorise it faster.
Marlon was starting to get more and more tired by the second. His eyes drooping and was losing concentration on learning his lines.
Newton was used to not going to sleep until past midnight, he did that many times before while working on some new piece of machinery, or the blueprints for said machinery.
Sometimes he managed to get through the whole night until the morning working on an invention he hoped would actually work, and only noticed it was morning when he saw the sunlight creeping through his window.
Newton was starting to get annoyed that his boyfriend wouldn't get to sleep. Newton looked over at him, with a worrisome expression.
He managed to break the silence after several minutes.
"That's it Mr, you're going to sleep whether you want to or not." he finally said in a stern tone.
Marlon yawned and mumbled quietly, "But,, I'm not tired.."
"Yes you are, stop torturing yourself. I can't stand watching you ruin your sleep schedule like I did."
Newton picked up Marlon bridal style and carried into his bed; Marlon fell asleep almost immediately. Newton tried to leave and go home himself, but Marlon had his arms wrapped around him.
It went completely quiet in the room. The only sound heard was the wind howling outside in the Manglewood and Marlon snoring quietly.
He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out his phone and sure enough, his mum had texted him multiple times where is he at and when he's coming home.
As well as around 7 missed calls.
He really needs to stop forgetting his phone is on silent all the time.
"Sorry mumsy it looks like I'll be staying the night at Marlons" he replied over text, and let out a sigh.
"Well, I'm stuck I guess,," Newton uttered to himself. He wrapped his arm around Marlons shoulder and cuddled up beside him. He looked over at his boyfriend fondly before he fell asleep himself, his head on Marlons shoulder.
