chapter 24

„Shawn?"
you mumbled right after you woke up. He didn't reply. The tv was still on and the lights were slightly dimmed. You eventually got up carefully to not wake up Shawn to turn it all off. The couch certainly wasn't made for spending the night, so you thought about waking up Shawn. Carefully you touched his cheek in order to get him to wake up. Unfortunately it didn't work and you took a deep breath.
You lied back down next to him and could feel his harsh breathing due to his belly movements.

Since the couch really wasn't big enough for two people you were practically forced to put your head on his chest. You were hoping he wouldn't mind because you didn't want to make him uncomfortable if he woke up at some point.

You tried to focus on his heartbeat and closed your eyes to fall asleep again. But since it was now almost fully dark and there were no annoying noises you managed to calm your breathing.
Due to the dim light of the street lantern outside you could see his face vaguely. He was in fact really pretty.
His skin was clear and glowing in the dim lights.
And his soft brown curls were hung loosely onto his forehead.

At some point you had managed to fall asleep and had a really strange dream that you couldn't comprehend really.

The next morning you were woken up by Shawn moving around. With sleepy eyes you looked up at him and he spoke „morning" with his deep morning voice. That made you smile and you slowly got up to give him some space.
„Morning." you replied softly and rubbed your eyes while sitting up on the couch.
You then felt Shawns hand on your bare back, making you jump slightly. His hand was warm but you hadn't expected him to touch you.
„Sorry, your sweater." he had pulled down your sweatshirt that had left your lower back exposed.
„Oh. Thanks." you chuckled and smiled at him.

Shawn kept lying down on the couch for a few minutes while you had leaned back onto his legs to wake up completely.
„How'd you sleep?" you then asked him. „Good. Yeah really good." Shawn then ran his fingers through his hair to fix the curly mess a little bit.

„I woke up last night and turned everything off but I didn't wanna wake you."
He sat up as well and placed his chin on your shoulder.
„Hmm." he groaned, making you chuckle at him.
„We really fell asleep." you stated, earning a nod from him.
„Wasn't too bad to be honest, haven't cuddled anyone in a long time."
Shawn then instinctively removed your hair from your shoulder, making you stop in your tracks because you suddenly could feel his breath on your neck.
„Me neither."
