Scott was half asleep, when he felt Mitch's hand slide underneath the side of his shirt.
He tried to ignore it, until Mitch's hand slid from there, down Scott's torso until reaching the waistline of his boxers. "Mitchie..." He warned.
Mitch jumped, his hand jerking away from Scott entirely. "Oh, sorry. I didn't know you were awake."
"So it's okay to feel me up if I'm asleep. Okay." He mumbled tiredly.
Mitch giggled. "Exactly. So go back to sleep."
"Do you do this all the time?"
"No. Never, I promise. We're always awake at the same time."
Scott had already begun drifting back off to sleep, but he nodded, sliding his good arm behind Mitch's neck to pull Mitch into his embrace, before kissing the top of his head. "Go to sleep, baby."
Mitch set his hand on Scott's chest and pouted, looking up at Scott's face, though it was relatively dark in the room. "No." He whined. "Love me first."
"Mitchie, I'll always love you. Always have. Always will."
"But... Can't we snuggle first?"
"Baby, what do you think we're currently doing?"
"You're trying to sleep."
"I am."
"And I'm trying to cuddle with you."
"I have to be awake to cuddle?"
"Mhmm. Consciousness is a must."
Scott finally opened his eyes again. "Jeez, I didn't know there were rules."
"Of course there are. Silly goose, do you not know them?"
"Apparently not."
Mitch giggled and moved himself to be on top of Scott, straddling his hips. "Alpha? Can I ask you something?"
"Sure. But only if you first tell me why you're sitting on me."
"Because it's comfy up here. And if I'm in your way, then I know that I have your attention."
"You always have my attention, baby boy."
Mitch let out a huff, and then laughed. "You're so cute. Such a sap."
Scott grabbed one of Mitch's hips with his good hand, and he closed his eyes again. "Thanks. Listen babe, I'm really tired..."
"I know you are, Alpha. But... I'm not."
Scott didn't answer for a second, but opened his eyes one more time. "Mitchie, please. I've had a really long day."
Mitch pouted. "So have I."
"I'm not saying that you didn't, honey. But if you were tired, I'd let you sleep, and you know it."
Mitch rolled off of Scott, laying beside him instead and setting his chin on Scott's shoulder. "You're right. I'm sorry."
Scott kissed the top of his head again. "We can cuddle in the morning, Sweetie. I promise."
"Okay. I'm holding you to that."
"I know you are."
Mitch, although Scott finally started to drift off, stayed awake for a little bit longer. Just sitting and staring at Scott, as his brain raced with all the things Scott had done for him. All the things he should be grateful for, and he wasn't.
