    Dan's POV

    Arin and I were in the middle of a late night recording session. We were playing Smash Brothers Brawl. Arin was winning, though he was very tired, but so was I. The lights were all off, so the game was our only light source in the room.
    I realized that we hadn't said anything for quite a while, "Arin, I just remembered that we're recording," I laughed as I said this.
    "Oh shit!" Arin exclaimed as he won again, "Well, looks like Arin wins," he stated his victory in a mocking demeanor.
    I smiled, and sighed, "Arin wins."
    "How about... Whoever wins the next round wins it all?" Arin asked.
    "You sure you wanna risk your win?" I ask, not really wanting to do another episode.
    "Yea, next time on Game Grumps!" He said with an enthusiastic voice, ending the episode.
    "Arin," I groan tiredly, "I don't wanna do another episode..."
    "Tired?" Arin asks, yawning.
    "Mhm," I sigh, feeling like I could fall asleep at any moment.
    "Can you handle one more episode?" He requested.
    "I dunno," my voice was becoming weaker. Though I was enjoying this, I don't think I could take another ten minutes.
    "How 'bout we sleep here tonight?" Arin suggested, "Nobody'd mind. Besides," he smiled sleepily at me, "I'm a sleepy sheepy, too."
    I smiled, sleep sounded so good right about now. I just lay down, and my head accidentally fell onto Arin's lap. I quickly move myself away, "Sorry," I mutter a quick apology.
    "It's okay," Arin replied drowsily, still sitting up.
    "You're tired too, right? You should sleep, too."
    "No thanks, I'm fine," he said hastily.
    "You sure? I'd feel bad just sleeping, if you wanna get that last episode done."
    Arin gave in, and I felt the couch shift around me as Arin lay down beside me. I closed my eyes, trying to fall asleep. It was kind of comforting in a way, having Arin there next to me. When he thought I was asleep, or maybe he was asleep, but Arin hugged me close to him. I wanted to fight back, but at the same time, he looked so peaceful, kind of cute, even.
    I decided to let him snuggle me, besides, he might even be asleep. And admittedly, it felt nice to have someone there, someone who cares about you. I felt as if I could lay there forever, warm and content. I, barely thinking, hugged Arin closer.
    "Mhff," Arin grumbled; he was awake, "Daaaan...?" I just sit there in that same position I was in, waiting for Arin to realize what was going on, "Hm... You moved."
    "Y-yea," I stuttered a bit nervously.
    "I'm glad," Arin smiled.
    Surprise washed over me, as well as a bit of relief. He wasn't mad. In fact, he was quite the opposite. I was glad, too. It was a nice night.
