Two Player Game

~Chapter Thirty-Six~

It's dark. The stars shine through the window as Jeremy sleeps. Michael ends up creeping in.

"Is he asleep?"

"Didn't you go home?"

"What, like I was going to stay away any longer? You can go home if you want, it's not comfortable to sleep in here."

".... Yeah. Yeah, I'll go. " before he walks out Rich stops and says "Congrats by the way. Since you two..."

"Oh. Thanks. " Jeremy mumbles in his sleep. It's adorable. Michael smiles. Rich aches as he leaves.

The next morning, Jeremy wakes up to a sleeping Michael and smiles. Michael is snoring away in that chair, very peaceful like. Jeremy can't wait to get out of there. Today's his last day. Michael mumbles something about Voltron in his sleep. Jeremy has to keep himself from laughing out loud.

"bu... But I'm the red paladin..."

"I know you are buddy." He'd pat his head if he was close enough. He blinks and starts waking up. He looks at Jeremy.

"Huh?" Jeremy just laughs.

"What? What'd I do?"

"Bein' cute."

"huh?" He's confused. "Whatever dude."

"Nerd."

"No you."

"Not by the way you were talking."

"Whaaaaaaaat?"

"Something about Voltron."

"Oh........ I was the red paladin......"

"Shut up nerd."

"Not as big a nerd as you." Jeremy scoffs.

"Yeah right."

"How ya feeling, player 2?"

"Better than I was before. It doesn't hurt as much."

"Progress!"

"Yeah.. I get to get out of here tomorrow."

"Amazing!" Jeremy smiles.

"Then we can go to Princeton."

"Yep. You, me, Jared, Rich, constant party." Rich. He remembers what happened last night and he's quiet.

"What, you don't like the sound of that?"

"No, I do! I do very much. Can't wait for it."

"Good. I was worried there was something wrong for a second there."

"Nope. Nothing wrong with that." He plays it off.

"Nice. And yknow, maybe sometimes it could be just us." he wiggles his eyebrows. Jeremy smiles again.

"I'd love that."

"Nice." he checks the time. Evan might be there when they get to Princeton. That would be nice.

"So, are you just gonna stay with me until then?"

"Yup. Then we can leave together."

"And you know you're gonna have to unpack my things right? I'm not gonna be able to move around a lot."

"I got you babe."

"You know what else could help me a lot?"

"What?"

"Coming closer so I can kiss you."

"Aww, of course." he scoots his chair closer to kiss him. Jeremy enjoys it. He hasn't kissed him in so long.
