You lay on the floor, a half eaten bag of chips on your lap, your head on a pillow. Abby was using Mike as a pillow. She was fast asleep while the movie (she picked) continues to play on the slide projector.
(Someone reminded me that it was the early 2000s, so I will change the tablet part to a slide projector)

You smile at the scene beside you before realizing that Mike was also awake. He sighed and looked over to see if you were also awake, but you both quickly looked away when meeting eyes.

"She always picks this movie," He whispers to you, and you giggle at the thought of Mike knowing the whole script of the movie.

"How do you put up with it?" You whisper in a dramatic voice with a gasp, teasing him.
"When taking care of her gets frustrating and tedious, and trust me, it does, I still... treasure every moment with her -" You notice that he was now holding Abby tighter, and his voice breaking up a little.

"You never know how much you'll miss it.. till it's gone." You realize that he was referring to his brother...

Maybe it was the intimacy of the moment, but you scoot closer to Mike, shoulders almost touching, you link hands with a sleeping Abby.

"This girl is going to go far with that amazing mind of hers... and she is lucky to have a brother like you, Mike." You murmur before looking up at him; He is staring at you like he was waiting for someone to say that to him.
But, once again, he looks back to the projection, and your eyes follow.
"... Thanks." He says quietly, after a few moments.

After a couple more silent minutes of watching the movie, Mike speaks up, as if he was building up confidence.

"If you're - uh - cold, you could come under the blanket with me.. - and Abby. I would just grab you another, but I think they are all being used, " He says, looking up at the ceiling of the fort that is made up of many different blankets.

"And it would wake sleeping beauty over there." You joke, referring to Abby. Now you weren't that cold, but who would deny such an offer, especially since Mike was already holding up the edge of the blanket for you to scoot under.

So, obviously, you do: pulling the blanket over you but, you don't want it to be pulled off of Mike or Abby so, you get even closer to Mike, laying on your side, facing him.

With the new proximity, the only place you head can lay is on his shoulder. Fighting sleep, your head decides to plop down on him as your eyelids get heavier.
You soon fall asleep to the sound of the movies end credits.
