café thoughts

After finishing my tea I put the cup down and laid on the couch. Damian did the same and laid on top of me using my stomach as a pillow. Of course he was too tall for the couch as I saw his legs hanging over the edge of the couch. On his face turned a bright smile, his eyes closed and his mouth was a little bit open as he drifted off to sleep. He looked idiotic but also cute when he sleeps. Mouth open, drooling most of the time, snoring soft, mumbling in his sleep, hugging either a person or a pillow. He always was like that. Even when we were young and had sleepovers, he always slept like that. He was also always hugging either a stuffed animal or a pillow or me. I mean, that was before our parents made us sleep a foot away from each other at sleepovers. You know, because of puberty and such. But we never did anything.

After a few minutes I fell asleep as well. We napped for about an hour until my phone rang. It was the alarm I set. I turned it off and carefully got up without waking Damian. I stretched and yawned and walked to the kitchen. It was 6 o'clock now, I better get the dogs some food. I walked over to a cabinet and pulled out a bag of dogfood. Pouring the food into two bowls, I whistled and the dogs came running towards me, waking Damian in the process.

"mh.. what's going on?" a sleepy voice said.

Damian stood up and walked to the breakfast bar. He sat down and yawned rubbing in his eyes. Even when he just woke up he looked good. It kind of made me jealous because I usually look like a burned turtle when I wake up. But he looks like a fluffing model.

"I was just giving the dogs food. Don't worry." I explained with a smile.

Damian smiled and leaned his head on his hand while looking at me. I grabbed the leftover pasta from yesterday and heated it up.

"Are you hungry Damian?"

He nodded sheepishly and yawned again. I giggled and divided the leftover pasta in two plates and gave one to Damian. He smiled and picked his fork into the pasta. We ate in silence next to each other and finished quickly. It was like the usual evening routine. We ate next to each other in silence, then we'd probably play video games, get some work done individually or watch television and cuddle. But something tonight was different. It was as if Damian felt troubled. He kept looking away and blushing, or he would snuggle his face away under the blankets or into my arm. We usually were just sitting calm next to each other but now he kept moving around and look away.

I found it rather odd, so I decided to ask what was wrong. All I got for an answer was a groan and a blush. Then he stood up and walked to his room mumbling 'I'm going to bed'. It made me feel hurt. Normally Damian would always tell me what's wrong, but now he wouldn't even look at me. Maybe I'm overreacting and he's just feeling a little sick or maybe he's just a little grumpy. He gets like that sometimes.

I turned the television off and dimmed the lights. I went to brush my teeth after and put on my pajama's. I was about to go into my room when I found Damian softly snoring and curled up in my bed. I smiled at the sight of him lying there. He has done this before, secretly sneaking into my bed because he doesn't like to sleep alone. I put my phone on the charger and pushed Damian to the side a little to make room for myself. I curled up next to him and felt his arm moved around my waist pulling me closer to him. Shortly after that I fell asleep.

The next morning was like usual. I woke up before Damian like always, and made myself some cereal.

"Mh.. Morning Snowflake..." Damian said as he walked in the living room yawning and rubbing behind his head.

"Morning Damian, did you sleep well?"

"I slept like a prince" he chuckled and walked past me rubbing my head gently.

Bumper and Niklauss barked and greeted Damian happily. I wrapped my hands around my warm teacup and took a sip. I love mornings like these. Everyone happy and like always a nice cup of tea!
