while you were sleeping

"You ready for bed, angel?" Mark asks.

"Yeah," Scott says, laying next to Mark in bed. He hums happily.

"You seem sleepy," Mark says, though there's a smile on his face. There's truly nothing cuter than Scott when he's sleepy; whether it be going to bed or just waking up.

"Mhmmm," Scott hums, earning a chuckle from Mark.

"Did you have a good day? How was work?" Mark asks, gently playing with Scott's hair.

"It was good," Scott says. "Can we cuddle, Marky?"

"Yeah, honey," Mark says.

Scott giggles a bit as he scoots closer, settling his head on Mark's chest. Mark wraps his arms around Scott, and he feels Scott relax.

"Comfy?" Mark asks.

"Mhm," Scott says. "I think you've got me for about 5 more minutes before I fall asleep," he admits.

"You go to sleep whenever you want, baby." Mark says.

"Damien used to get mad at me for falling asleep on him," Scott says.

"What? He would?" Mark asks.

"Yeah," Scott says. "So I just wanted to warn you."

"Baby, if you fall asleep, you fall asleep. You're adorable, not to mention cozy and warm. I won't get mad at you for it. Worst case, I wake you up for 5 seconds because I have to get up."

"That's a risk I'm willing to take," Scott says, and Mark laughs.

"I'm sorry he was so mean to you," Mark says. "I just want you to know that everything you've told me about him, I would never, and I mean never, even dream of."

Scott places a kiss to Mark's chest. "I know." He says. "I trust you, Marky."

Mark kisses Scott's hair. "Good. You deserve the best, honey."

Scott smiles, as he closes his eyes. "I'm fallin' asleep, sweetheart."

"Sleep well, Scotty." Mark says.

A few moments pass, and then:

"Honey?" Scott asks.

"What's up, baby?" Mark asks.

"You don't have to say it back yet, Marky," Scott mumbles, and Mark almost wonders if he's going to fall back asleep. "But, I love you."

(If you choose to listen to the song included, now is when to start!)

Mark doesn't know what he was expecting tonight, but it wasn't that.

Scott seems to almost melt in Mark's embrace, and his breathing evens out.

Oh, Mark thinks. Scott loves me.

Do I love him?

Mark looks at Scott, asleep on him, not a care in the world.

He thinks back to their last few dates.

Dancing in the rain.

-

"Baby, we'll get all wet!" Mark says.

"Come on, sweetheart!" Scott says, grabbing Mark's hand.

They run into the rain, and they're both giggly messes. "Dance with me!" Scott shouts, and Mark is wrapping his arms around Scott's waist.

They both haven't stopped giggling, but Scott leads them in a dance, in the pouring rain.
