It was Rohit who woke up first. His head felt extremely heavy. He knew this was going to happen; he tried to clear his vision, rubbing the sleep off.
He saw the time and noticed they had directly woken up the next day. They skipped dinner and were still sleeping in.
He noticed Virat was still sleeping. He knew Virat would have a headache now, and it would be worse than Rohit's as he had it more after lunch.
Rohit couldn't help but smile at how yesterday was— just wholesome, playful, and so happy. The smile on Virat's face when Rohit said he liked him was priceless.
He didn't try to get up as Virat was cuddled to him like a baby. Virat's head was on his chest, one leg on his, and his hand on Rohit's waist.
Rohit was still worried about when Virat realized, and if he did, why didn't he tell Rohit? How did he cope with that?
After about an hour, Virat shifted slightly, letting out a soft groan as he buried his face deeper into Rohit's chest.
"Vi?" Rohit gently stroked his hair, his voice soft and caring.
"Hmm?" Virat mumbled, still feeling the heaviness of his head.
"You've got a headache, don't you?" Rohit asked, his concern growing as he noticed Virat's discomfort. Virat nodded in response, not able to speak clearly in his drowsy state.
"Let me get up and make you some coffee or lemon water. It'll help you feel better," Rohit suggested, continuing to run his fingers through Virat's hair, trying to soothe him before getting up.
"But I want you here with me," Virat whined softly, his voice filled with sleepiness. Rohit couldn't help but chuckle at how adorable he sounded.
"Ha, Vi, I'm right here with you," Rohit reassured him. "Just give me half an hour. We'll freshen up a bit, have some coffee, and then we can rest again. It'll help you feel better, okay?" he said gently, trying to comfort him.
Virat groggily got up, though with some reluctance. Rohit smiled as he watched Virat, his messy hair and sleepy eyes making him look even more cute.
As Virat made his way downstairs, Rohit couldn't help but admire how effortlessly handsome he looked. Virat was wearing a white shirt, his hair still messy from sleep, and he hadn't bothered to fix it.
Rohit felt an overwhelming urge to pull him into an embrace and never let go.
He also noticed that Virat had worn the shirt just as Rohit had suggested yesterday, which made him smile warmly.
When Virat saw Rohit making coffee, he quietly walked up behind him and wrapped his arms around Rohit's waist, resting his head on his back.
Rohit smiled at the sweet gesture. He gently held Virat's hands and asked, "Headache?"
Virat nodded, still feeling the lingering effects of the night before.
"Just a second, coffee is ready," Rohit said.
Virat stayed in the same position, his arms still around Rohit's waist, as Rohit finished pouring the coffee into the cup.
"Alright, let's sit," Rohit said softly, guiding Virat to the living room.
Virat settled down on the couch while Rohit brought the coffee and some chocolate chip cookies. They were Rohit's favorite, and the fact that Virat had arranged them made Rohit feel incredibly special.
"Vi, have something with your coffee, or you'll feel sick," Rohit said, noticing Virat only sipping the coffee.
Rohit dipped a cookie into the coffee and gently fed it to Virat, making sure he ate something along with the drink.
