inspired by that one reddit entry: my HOT roommate gives me forehead kisses when i'm ASLEEP. how do i ask him to do it when i'm AWAKE too?

The first time Manuel did it out of instinct, he couldn't even explain it to himself. He felt the need and just did it. He saw Simone, his roommate asleep on the couch and he just gave him a kiss in his forehead.

As time went by it became an habit. Each time he'd come back home from work and Simone was napping on the couch he'd give him a forehead kiss.

Simone noticed probably around the fourth time. He wasn't completely asleep, he was drifting to it when he felt his lips slightly brush his skin. And after that maybe he just pretended he was always asleep cause he knew he'd get to feel it again. And maybe, or almost surely, Simone was totally head over heels for his roommate. He starts wishing Manuel could give him kisses when he's awake too.

One evening, tired from his lessons in his university, he lays down on the couch and struggles to stay up to wait for Manuel (and his kisses) and falls asleep a little, when Manuel comes back, he kisses Simone's forehead, as always. But this time sleep has taken over Simone and he feels like he's dreaming so as soon as Manuel steps back from the kiss, the other mumbles a barely there "another one please".

And Manuel does it. Simone mumbles something else and Manuel just finds it cute. The younger falls asleep and when he wakes up he barely remembers it and even if he does he's convinced it was just a dream.

Until a few hours later when they're both sitting on the couch watching a movie and eating chinese food. Manuel's laying a bit on Simone's side, as he always does, this isn't new to any of them. What's new is the peck that Manuel gives Simone on his cheek. He doesn't know why he did that. It doesn't make sense. He just felt like it. Besides him Simone is freaking out.

"I'm tired I should go to bed" Simone says getting up and moving away from Manuel.

"It's barely 10pm?" Manuel says kinda feeling bad.

"It's been a long day. I've had 8 hours of lessons and i'm not really tired" Simone says trying to sound convincing.

"You can take a nap here, I don't mind" he replies making space in the couch.

"It's better if I just go to bed. Goodnight Manu." He says and leaves the room.

What was that. What had just happened.

Simone doesn't stop taking naps on the couch. At this point it's a habit. He can't help it. Deep in his heart he waits for Manuel's kiss and when he gets it a huge weight is lifted off his shoulder.

He does it again when he steps back home that night too. Simone is clearly not sleeping. He wouldn't miss this for a reason.
He feels his lips on his forehead and smiles. Manuel then lingers his hand on his head and caresses his hair.
Simone is soft. Warm.

"You're pretty" he hears Manuel say. He can't help but blush and he prays it's not noticeable.
When Manuel leans again for another kiss Simone opens his eyes. Both freeze.

"What are you doing?" the younger asks.

Manuel gasps. He never took in consideration being found out. He went through a range of excuses he could say to make the situation look less weird but he was panicked and nothing really seemed plausible.

"Uh...you have something in your hair" he said. Dumb. But what other option did he have? Tell him that he kissed his forehead cause he liked him? No way.

"Did I now?" Simone bit back.
"I have something in my hair everyday?" he kept going.

Manuel gulped.

"W-what are you talking ab-..."
"Why don't you kiss me when i'm awake?"

The question left both of them star struck. Simone didn't expect himself to say that and Manuel most definitely didn't think Simone knew what he had been doing.

"You want me to kiss you when you're awake?" Manuel blurted out. At this point what was there to lose? Risking it all for it seemed so worth it to Manuel in that moment that he didn't even regret what he had said.

"I'd like to yeah. I'd like to stop pretending I'm sleeping just to feel your lips on my skin."

Oh. Maybe that was a bit too much.

Manuel looked at him with almost a smile in his face. He knew Simone wasn't shy and that he had obviously had experiences in dating and love but he found himself genuinely laughing at his words. He never expected them to be having this conversation.

"What? Why are you laughing? What's so funny ab..." and he was interrupted by Manuel's lips on his.

The kiss was initially chaste. It was just them pressing lips together really. But then Simone put a hand on his cheek and deepened it. Manuel involuntarily fell on top of him and that stopped them for a brief moment, they look at each other and smiled. It felt right.

And finally Simone had reached his goal.
