Cʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ #22: Sleep

~ Chapter #22 : Sleep ~

It was after about a half hour when Eddie released Aleks from his loving bear-like embrace, but he let his grip on him be unconfined just to be pleadingly coaxed into holding the other for a little bit longer; in which he caved under the pressure brought on by witnessing the brunette's glistening puppy-eye act. Eddie was a sucker for cuteness, and so he was in the palm of Aleks' hand, metaphorically of course. When those earnest ashy-amber orbs pierced and gazed into his soul through his own eye sockets, the Latino ended up sighing, and sat down on the edge of his bed, while the victorious porcelain-skinned teen had gloated with a triumphant, light giggle before he moved to lay down and place his head in the other's lap contentedly. As he did this movement shift, Eddie didn't really object to it any more than he already did with his ealier defeated exhale, though; he just mentally shrugged it off, and continually proceeded to console and comfort his love interest with whatever he sensed insecurity around. After a fleeting moment, the obsidian-haired male had found himself gently combing his fingers warily through the brunette's soft chocolate-brown waves of hair as he smiled benevolently down at the other teen, who quickly returned the upwards lift curve. The two teens, even though Aleks felt as if he were being lulled to sleep with the gentle rakes of his hair, conversed about random aspects of life, like what they were planning to do with their lives, what the Russian had experienced when he was unconscious, and even about what they suspected the outcome of the weather would be concerning tomorrow, during the instructional hours of the upcoming school day. They mindlessly rambled on and spoke softly with eachother for an entire hour, and they almost lost track of time, before a gingerly tone of voice called out to them- well, specifically Eddie.

"Eddie, es hora de la cena, cariño!" [ Eddie, dinner time, honey! ] A generally sweet voice shouted loudly; its alarming tone bouncing off the walls and practically coming off at an earsplitting volume as the sound waves were received by Aleks' sensitive ears. The Russian fidgeted briefly in Eddie's lap as the foreign words echoed in his hearing devices rather excruciatingly, before he settled down once the yelled statement faded from his ears. When Eddie had heard the call, however, he blinked behind his glasses before moving to pick up the other teen so that he could respond verbally to the woman's voice. Aleks had mewed slightly when Eddie stood up, and as he was scooped up in the arms he trusted, to be set carefully on the bed where Eddie just sat. The brunette hesitantly scrambled to sit up properly with his legs thrown over the side of the queen-sized bed, as he glanced at the Latino watchfully. He cocked his head to the side, his ears flopping to the tilted direction, and stared curiously at Eddie, seeming to silently ask who that was, and what they said. In response, Eddie held up his right index finger as if to say 'hold on,' non-verbally, before he eventually gestured to the scrawnier teen to cover his ears, for he was going to shout an answering comment. As to seeing the flick of the Latino's wrist, Aleks blinked blankly, prior to finally comprehending the gesture, and rather cutely proceeded to cup his tan flops of ears fully with his hands. He nodded once to the other teen, to alert him he was prepared to try to avoid getting a future headache, and slightly winced before the fact that there was any yelling occuring. Upon seeing the set nod, Eddie smiled at the confirmation before turning his head to peer at the agape doorway.

With hopes of answering his mother unveiling as he opened his mouth, "Muy bien, mamá! Vamos a estar en un segundo!" [ Alright, mom! We'll be down in a second! ] Eddie yelled, leaving the other male in his room to ponder over what he heard with muffled ears- the Russian didn't know any other languages other than Russian, duh, and English. As the brunette's mind trailed off with given up thoughts, the sound of the same voice resounded in the same volume as before.
