Connor kept his eyes focused on his television screen. He spent most of his day playing on the Play Station 4 trying to beat the hardest level on his game. It was getting late and he knew he should give the game some rest, but his mind was determined to finish the game tonight.
"I'm starting to regret coming over here." Jude said from his desk. Connor had been lost in the game for a good solid hour and had forgotten where he was and who was around him.
"I'm almost done, I promise. I just have to finish this level then we can do whatever you want." He responded without removing his attention from the game to talk to Jude.
"You said that three hours ago." Jude reminded. His voice was filled with tiredness and a small hint of sadness.
"Give me five minutes." Connor mumbled as he continues to play his game. Jude rolled his eyes knowing he wasn't going to finish the game anytime soon. He wouldn't told Connor about his pounding headache, but he didn't think that would matter or help. Instead He buried his head on top of his crossed arms that laid on the desk.
Another hour passed and Connor was still playing his game. He could hear faint snoring coming from his right. That's when he finally decided to pause the game and turn his head slightly to the side. He grinned at the sight of Jude sleeping with his cheek smushed against his arm and his mouth gapped open.
Connor pushed himself off the bed. He nearly lost his balance considering this was the first time he had been standing in the past six hours. When he became stable, he moved behind Jude then shook him a couple times before he lifted his head and rubbed his tired eyes. "I think my bed is more comfortable than my desk."
"You think?" Jude said sarcastically, his eyes barely open. He was now facing his boyfriend. "Did you finish your game?" He couldn't think of any reasonable explanation for why Connor was taking a break from it.
"No, I wanna spend time with you."
"Are you sure? I can go home if you wanna finish the game." Jude kindly suggested in his sweet voice. Connor smiled then shook his head.
"Come cuddle with me." He grabbed Jude's hand and dragged him to his feet.
"You're positive you don't want me to go home." Connor heard the uncertainty in Jude's voice. He just nodded.
"It's your last night here and I'm not letting you stay home alone. It's my fault we wasted an entire day. Let me make it up to you."
"You know this wouldn't be my last night if you let me stay here." Jude hinted staring straight into his eyes. Neither of them liked the idea of Jude being on the other side of the country, but Connor still thought it was best.
"If I let you stay I'm basically putting you in danger. Plus you'll be back for graduation and then you can spend all summer helping me move to New York."
"That's still a long time from now." Jude's sight travelled down to his toes with a sigh.
"Hey everything is going to work out just fine." Connor said cupping his cheeks and lifting his head. "But until then, let's have one of our famous movie nights. Pick out a movie and put on some pajamas. I'll be right back with the popcorn." Connor gave the shorter boy a quick kiss before running out the room.
Jude carried himself over to the endless collection of movies him and Connor had acquired over the years. He reached on the top shelf and pulled down "Titanic" then tossed it on the bed. Next he made his way over to Connor's closet to grab one of his shirts. He slid his pants off then replaced his shirt with the bigger shirt.
Jude was making his way out of the closet when Connor reappeared in the room. He eyed his body up and down before he spoke. "You not wearing pants is gonna be the death of me." Jude rolled his eyes then moved towards the bed.
