When the Odds Shift

A shiver running down Austin's spine awoke him sometime during the early morning. It took him a minute to force his tired eyes open, then another two for them to focus enough to read his alarm clock.

Two... the power came back on, with the air conditioner.

Yawning, he started to sit up, intent on reaching his blanket that he could feel somewhere around his feet, but a weight kept his shirt from being able to move with him, forcing him to stay lying down and refocus on what exactly had a hold on him. 

At first, his half-asleep mind couldn't make sense of the young man cuddled up to him like a cat starved for attention. He knew that he hadn't brought anyone home. His memory filled itself in after several quiet moments, specifically bringing up their second kiss, then Roh-Ahn asking to spend the night with him. 

He was about to shake him awake so that he could return to his room, because honestly, he hadn't really been thinking clearly last night, obviously, but when he felt Roh-Ahn shiver against him, then give a nearly silent whine, Austin clamped his mouth shut and slowly moved his feet so that he could lift the blanket with one. 

It was close enough to grab after a few tries, allowing him to pull it up and over them both. He made sure, however, to tuck Roh-Ahn in snugly before tossing it lazily over his own shoulder. 

I could have sworn that last night was a dream. Austin thought as he hugged the guy a little closer, secretly loving the fact that he responded immediately, even though he was definitely asleep, and snuggled in right up against him.

The faint brush of Roh-Ahn's damaged leg, the pajama pants covering it having gotten pushed up while he'd slept, against his own, had Austin's thoughts darkening. He hugged the man tighter and lifted one hand to press against the back of his head. 

How dare someone hurt such a sweet person. How dare they. 

"Aus..." 

If anyone hurts him ever again, I'm going to-"Austin, you're hurting me."

Huh?

"Austin, please..." 

Shoving himself away abruptly, Austin pushed too hard and off-balanced himself, making him fumble to the floor with a thud. He remained with one leg up on the bed and his body on the carpet, rubbing at the back of his head with one hand. 

"Dammit, that was smart." He grumbled to himself as he heard a faint sound coming from up on the bed. 

Opening his squinting eyes, he saw the outline of Roh-Ahn looking down at him. The almost-silent sound of a chuckle met his ears, making Austin scowl. 

"You are not laughing at me." 

Roh-Ahn immediately disappeared from the edge of the bed, spurring Austin to swing his leg off, then jump back up and grab the guy before he could manage to slip back under the covers completely. With little effort, he dragged him backward and into his lap, bringing some of the blanket with him. 

Even in the darkness, his mouth easily found Roh-Ahn's, silencing any possible protests. The kiss was hungry, but still close-mouthed and careful. He didn't dare nibble at his lips, nor did he try to use his tongue at all. It just didn't seem necessary as they enjoyed each other's attention. 

When their mouths finally released each others', Austin grinned and pressed another kiss to Roh-Ahn's forehead. "We should get some more sleep. Your uncle will be getting here pretty early, right?" He asked as he carefully guided Roh-Ahn to lay down, then followed him so that he could pull him back into his arms.
