~Sleepover~

Happy 20th birthday to me :)

Paul's POV

I took one final look around the room. All the dirty clothes were picked up, dishes cleaned, pizza boxes thrown away. Good. Looks halfway decent now. Going to the closet, I pull out a super comfy blanket and throw it on the couch. Then I walk to my room and pull two pillows off of it. They end up on the couch also. Right as I finished up, there was a knock at the door. Perfect timing.

I started to get butterflies in my stomach. Tanner has been to my house before and I've never been THIS nervous. But he's also never stayed the night. Out of habit, I bite my lip trying to get out of my head. Facing the door I take a deep breath and open it.

It never ceases to amaze me how stunning he is. My own personal Adonis just standing there. Involuntarily I look him up and down, checking him out. When my eyes met back up with his my heart began beating even faster. I didn't know that was possible.

"Hey there, like what you see?" Tanner asks teasingly.

I roll my eyes, "You wish," I move aside so Tanner can come in. He throws the movie he brought at me. I almost dropped it because I really didn't think he'd throw it. I walk over to the TV to put the movie in and get it all set up. "Hey, start some popcorn ya slacker," Tanner just laughs and heads to the kitchen area. He picked "The Conjuring" for us to watch. Even though I've seen the movie several times it still manages to get me every time.

After I put the movie in I turn to see Tanner sitting comfortably on the couch. Not sure how he made popcorn that fast...but okay. After I turn all the lights off, I sit down on the opposite side of the couch, trying to keep my distance. He gives me a weird and then pats the seat right next to him.

"Come closer, somebody is gonna have to protect you from the spooky demons," I thank god the lights are off and he cant tell just how much I'm blushing. I scoot over next to him and he wraps his arm around my shoulders.

As the movie began I slowly relaxed a bit. I was still freaking out on the inside though. Occasionally I would look up at Tanner, only to see that he was already looking at me. He would smile and then look back at the movie. With the dim glow of the tv, I could tell he was biting his lip. I want to kiss him. This moment is perfect. I decide against it, because the moment is perfect, and I don't want to ruin it. Instead I snuggle in closer to him, resting my head on his chest.

By the end of the movie we had somehow switched to a laying down position. I was starting to get tired. It was a long day at work. We were both stretched out on the couch and I was halfway laying on top of Tanner, my head was still on his chest. Tanner had his arm wrapped around me, but bent a little so he could play with my hair. It was hard to pay attention to the movie and stay awake while he did this. He just kept twirling pieces of my hair around his fingers and then letting it go once it got tight. It was driving me insane.

As the movie ended, I was barely awake anymore. Between how comfortable I was with Tanner, and him playing with my hair it was impossible not to let sleep take me over. I could feel Tanner looking down at me. I don't think I could meet his gaze without doing something I'd regret. So I opted to just keep my head where it was.

"Hey sleepy head," Tanner said nudging me a little, "I think it's time to go to bed."

"Okay," I responded sleepily, but made no attempt at getting up.

"You just going to stay there?" Tanner chuckled. I wonder if he can feel how my heart flutters whenever he laughs like that. Without saying anything, I shake my head yes and pull the blanket tighter around us. "Guess so." Tanner turns off the TV and resumes playing with my hair. It's not long before I fall asleep.

Tanner's POV

I barely paid attention to the movie. All I could think about it was Paul. How natural it felt to have him snuggled up next to me. God this boy is amazing. I smile down at Paul as he begins lightly snoring on my chest. He began to mumble a bit in his sleep, though it was barely audible.

"Tanner." Paul said in his sleep. It was quieter than a whisper, but I heard it. I stopped playing with his hair and pulled him closer to me. Nothing could ruin this. I take out my phone and quickly take a picture of us. Thankfully, it didn't wake him. After posting it to Twitter with the caption "Sleepy boys :) " I shut off my phone and lay it down on the ground. Deciding that I couldn't resist anymore I kiss the top of his head and close my eyes. Soon I too am sleeping.

A/N - well that was cool. And fluffy. I really like this chapter. I like them together. I also like Tanner and woods together. I guess we'll just have to see where this goes.

~Stay Lovely~
