"Rise and shine, sleepyhead."
Tom stirred in his sleep and blinked into the direction of the soft voice.
"H-hm...?"
"Time to get up," the voice whispered and when Tom finally opened his eyes, he looked into Jason's beautiful blue-grey eyes. "Or we'll be late for the convention."
"Jesus," he groaned, and quickly turned around to bury his face in his pillow because he was perfectly sure that he blushed.
"It's Jason."
Tom threw the pillow in his direction.
Jason laughed and by the sound of it, he caught the damn thing.
"Come on, sunshine, I want to grab some breakfast before we go to that panel discussion."
"Yeah, okay, alright," Tom mumbled, but he already had to grin. He sat up and ruffled his hair a bit shyly because he kind of... felt embarrassed to push away the covers and be only in his shorts and the wide T-shirt in front of Jason.
"God, you look so adorable," the older one suddenly chuckled. Cooed. And Tom felt himself blush.
"You mean like a mess," he mumbled and hurried to get to the bathroom.
"No," Jason yelled after him, still a wide grin audible in his voice, "Adorable!"
Tom blushed even more and quickly closed the bathroom door. Jesus. He had to get a grip on himself or he wouldn't live through these two days.
Half an hour later, he was ready and they had breakfast in a cute little café Jason had found. Fortunately, it was both close to the hotel and very quiet so that they weren't disturbed, and after a cup of coffee and scrambled eggs, Tom felt a bit more awake.
Jason, on the other hand, hadn't stopped grinning since the early morning.
"What's up?" Tom chuckled.
Jason shrugged. "I think I've never woken up in the same room with you, have I?"
"...No, I think not?"
"I just can't stop thinking about how sleepy and dishevelled and adorable you looked. Who would have thought that such a sunshine like you can be grumpy in the morning?"
Tom snorted and it sounded alarmingly close to Draco. "Don't be ridiculous," he replied and Jason laughed and actually put an arm around him to hug him to his side. Just briefly, but it was wonderful.
"I'm not always like that," Tom then felt the need to clarify, "It's just... the jet-lag and so on..."
"I understand," Jason replied softly, "I didn't mean it in a bad way."
"No," he nodded, "No, I know you didn't."
"Wanna share a cab in twenty minutes?" Jason asked once they were back at the hotel, on the way to their room.
"Of course!"
The convention was as big and colourful as everywhere. They met the twins backstage and it was just wonderful to see them again.
While Jason and Oliver decided they would tell somebody to put their chairs in pairs of two on the stage and with enough distance so that the drift between good and evil would be clearly visible, Tom realised that he hadn't missed them nearly as much as he had missed Jason.
He was also glad to be with him in this discussion today – he still felt a bit tired and Jason was such a good and natural talker that he would definitely make things easier for him.
