James lay there with his arm around Julian. Knowing that if Julian's parents came in, he would never be allowed to see Julian again. But they both thought the risk was worth it. They loved each other too much to not sleep the way that they did.

James's parents accepted his relationship with Julian, and they would let James sleep curled up to Julian, and unknown by James and Julian, James's parents would smile widely at the way James slept peacefully with Julian. Which is something he didn't do very much before.

Despite James's parents accepting them, Julian's did not. Julian's parents loved James, but they did not want them together. They had another idea for Julian, and it wasn't James. But Julian refused to love anyone but James. Julian loved everything about James. Julian loved James's hair, his eyes, his smile, the way he slept with his arm around Julian.
