Wake it, shake it Mony Mony
Up, down, turn around, come on Mony
Hey! She gives me love and I feel all right now
I said don't stop now, come on Mony

When Alex awoke the next morning, it was not due to the usual sunlight peaking into the room, or his biological waking time, or even a nightmare. No, instead, he was awoken by an 18 year old blond, annoyingly poking his shoulder as he whispered the younger boy's name.

At 4 in the morning.

The brunet groaned audibly, shoving his face further into his pillow. "What?" He asked, irritated that he had been woken from his slumber.

Ran stopped poking his shoulder. "I was wondering," the blond started, "if maybe you wanted to take a walk?"

Alex took his face away from his pillow, and instead rolled over to give Ran a look. One that was mixed with confusion, and outrage. "At 4 in the morning? Shouldn't you be sleeping anyway?"

The older boy scratched the back of his neck sheepishly. "Have I ever told you I'm an insomniac?"

"What? No!"

"Oh, well, surprise!"

The younger boy sighed annoyingly, as he flipped onto his back. "And there you were when we were leaving, giving me shit for only getting 4 hours of sleep the night before."

"I know, I'm sorry. But that doesn't answer my question."

Alex furrowed his eyebrows. He forgot why he had been woken in the first place. "What was your question?"

The elder rolled his eyes. "Do you wanna go for a walk with me?" He repeated, more clearly this time for emphasis.

Alex sighed, as he pondered the offer. He wanted nothing more than to just curl into Ran's side and fall back asleep. However, he'd feel bad to some degree that he would be sleeping peacefully while Ran would lie awake, with nothing to do. Besides, now that Alex was awake, he didn't feel as tired anymore. It would be much more difficult to fall asleep what with his brain now on alert.

The brunet huffed, but sat up anyway. Ran took that as his desired answered and grinned with glee as he leaned forward to kiss Alex's cheek.

"Thanks, baby." He said, kissing his cheek one more time before standing up.

Ran usually slept with sweatpants and no shirt, while Alex slept fully clothed with sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt. The brunet stood awkwardly at the door, waiting for Ran to finish clothing himself while he had just grabbed a jacket and shoes. Once the blond had finished, he looked at Alex's attire with a little worry. Alex had only grabbed a hoodie and his leather jacket, while Ran was fully bundled up.

"Is that all you're wearing? You'll freeze to death, 'Lex."

"Hm? No. I'm fine." The younger shrugged.

"No, 'Lex, come on. Do you think that you could wear a proper winter jacket instead of your leath-"

"No."

"Just this once, baby."

"Nope. No thank you."

Ran groaned, as he approached the younger boy. He wrapped his arms around Alex from behind, and squeezed him tightly.

"I'm gonna have to hold you like this the whole time to keep you warm." He threatened in a loving and playful manner. He placed a quick peck on the top of Alex's head.

"That's ok." The younger shrugged, trying to seem casual. He giggled as Ran started to push him towards the door.

"Come on, buckaroo. Let's get outside."
