Late Night Rambles

He shifts uncomfortably in the bed, finally turning over to face his love. Crainer's sleeping form still and relaxed. His emerald eyes being hidden behind closed lids, hair strewn across the pillow as he slept peacefully. For a second Josh didn't want to stir him, but he thought it'd help ease his restless mind, so he inches closer and starts caressing his cheek. The other's eyes fluttering open a couple seconds later, kissing his palm in response.

"Hey."

"What's wrong?"

He doesn't say and Crainer takes Josh's hand to kiss it again.

"Tell me. I'm here to listen." The Dane sleepily mumbles, gently wrapping his arms round Josh. Yawning, Josh kisses Crainer's cheek before continuing.

"What if we never met?"

"Where's this coming from?"

"I don't know. Jordi said something about reversing time and if nothing bad ever happened, and so on and so forth."

"If nothing happened we wouldn't be making videos. That Fortnite video probably wouldn't have been made and I wouldn't have met the most wonderful person there is. My kæreste." The words hang in the air, easing Josh of the main thought, but all the other little ones poke and prod him. Trying to lessen the noise in his head, he snuggles further into the emerald eyed beauty, but of course it was for naught. He just has to be an over-thinker and the only way to seemingly be rid of it, is to continue talking with the sleep laced Crainer.

"Would if it was all us four. Would we still have become a couple?"

"Kæreste, I'd fall in love with you in any timeline."

"But what if I didn't exist?"

"Then I'd never fall in love." Crainer whispers making shivers go down Josh's spine. His sleepy voice being something that the younger would like to hear more of.

"Why do you think we call it a cookie if you bake it?"

"I don't know. I'm too tired."

"Or call it Cargo when it's on a ship, but a shipment when it's in a car?"

He shrugs.

"If you could time travel where would you go?"

"I'd go to when I first met you, so I could fall in love over and over."

"You're too sweet."

"And you think too much." Crainer hums into the younger's hair, before planting a kiss upon his forehead and entangling their legs together, hoping that doing so would make Josh sleep. Though it did help, Josh's mind was still running, yawning before once again asking a "would if."

"Babe, I love you, but it's two in the morning."

"Can you put me to sleep then?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like with one of your weird Crainer stories."

"They're not weird." Whines Crainer, tickling Josh's sides in revenge. He squirms, silently letting out a laugh, before melting back into Crainer's arms.

"Kæreste, once you close your eyes I'll start."

"Okay." Josh closes them. "How bout now?"

The Dane kisses the tip of his nose, shifting a bit to make Josh comfy. Then he begins to tell Josh one of his "weird stories." This one taking place on a playground with a big pirate ship. And as Crainer was talking he could feel his love's body relax and breathing change, so he stops and watches as Josh finally falls asleep. Kissing his cheek before seeing a small smile tug at his lips. Crainer gently turns over to lay on his back, shifting Josh to snuggle into his chest. His heartbeat pulling the tea lover into a nice dream as Crainer's eyes flutter shut.
