Reboot slept against Eraser peacefully.
He'd fallen asleep halfway through the movie they were watching.
Eraser had just stopped the movie and watched Reboot, he was leaning against his shoulder. A peaceful expression as he gripped Eraser's shirt gently.

The smaller skeleton shifted slightly, slipping slowly off the other.
The taller caught him from sliding off, and laid on his own back, letting the small one lay against his chest.

Reboot whimpered a little in his sleep as he shifted a little, pointing his non-existent nose at Eraser's.
Eraser chuckled slightly at Reboot's laying position.
He gently stroked Reboot's cheek with his pointer finger in a calming way.
After a few strokes, he tapped Reboot's nose gently with his finger.
Reboot muttered something under his breath as he smiled up at Eraser, he though still seemed to be sleeping.

Reboot slept on Eraser for at least an hour before Eraser felt as if his leg was going to fall asleep.

"Hey, Boots. Wake up." Eraser poked at Reboot's side.
Reboot shifted himself a little, whimpering slightly.
"Boots." Eraser poked him again.
"Eraserrrrrr." Reboot whispered softly.
"Booooooooootttttss!" Eraser pushed Reboot up, making him sit up.
"What is bothering you?" Reboot stretched his arms out with a groan.
"It's late, my legs asleep." Eraser whined.
Reboot giggled.
"Well, you better get it off to bed!"
"I will." The taller huffed and got up, he felt a twinge in his leg, after a little it felt like pins and needles.
He walked from the couch leaving his love sitting there alone.
Reboot huffed himself, he got up and marched after Eraser up the stairs.
"Racy!! Don't leave me down here!!"
Eraser snickered as he closed the bedroom door.
"Wait, are you locking me out?" Reboot said as he grabbed onto the doorknob.
Eraser hadn't locked the door, so Reboot was easily let in.
Eraser was only getting changed.
The smaller skeleton went over to his side of the room and grabbed a tank top, that was neatly folded from off the bed and slipped it on, taking off his other shirt and revealing his circuit patterned shoulders.
"Didja turn the lights off down there?" Eraser asked cheekily.
"No." Reboot turned his head, looking at him.
"Last one in suppose't turn em off." The taller got closer and seemed to tower over Reboot.
"You are the one closer to the door." Reboot said as he looked up at Eraser innocently.
Eraser turned and looked at the door, he looked back at Reboot as he gave an innocent, and pleading type of expression.
He sighed angrily and left the room quickly, turning off the lights outside the room.

When he got back in the room Reboot was sitting on the bed seemingly waiting for him, already in his pyjamas.
Eraser sat on the bed beside him.
"You asking for it or something?" Eraser scoffed.
"No! I am still sore from yesterday's affair." Reboot plopped back against the pillows.
Eraser chuckled and took the blankets from under himself and laid down.
He turned to Reboot who was still above the blankets.
The taller pulled the blankets out from under him and covered his love with them.
"Don't freeze, it's cold out."
Reboot smiled and pulled the blankets up over himself, just leaving his head, getting himself comfy.
Reboot snuggled into his shoulder. "I love you, Racy!"
"Hey, when I'm trying to sleep I have my own personal space bubble, not yours."
Eraser shooed Reboot away...
"I popped the bubble, now there is nothing in my way!" Reboot giggled as he playfully hugged his love.
Eraser pushed Reboot away. "You're being clingy y'little goof."
"The names you give me Racy, fail to make fun of me. I rather find it quite amusing." The black skeleton giggled.
"Jeez, what's with the way you talk?" Eraser huffed.
"May I ask what you mean by that?" Reboot felt a little angry.

"Your word choice or whatever. The way you make sentences. Uh- your- uh-"
"Do you mean my grammar?" Reboot tilted his head slightly.
"Yes, why don't you just, like, talk like me. Just, you most of the time have your words and sentences detailed, you don't use words that are like, mashed together." Eraser sighed in an annoyed tone.
"It's hard at some points when you try to listen to someone and they do not make their sentences clear whatsoever. I try to have the person I am talking to not have to worry, therefore trying to piece together my sentence, or having to sit for a moment to think about what your "mashed up words" are supposed to be for. There are times I need to process what you say to me which isn't my favourite thing to do." Reboot began explaining.
"Back on the subject of grammar; if I desperately need to use my absolute proper grammar, I must ponder upon what I want to say. Indeed most times I am talking without a planned subject in mind, it is when I feel it's important to I will."
Reboot finished.
Eraser seemed bored with this"long speech."
"Ponder upon.. Wow, so many easier word choices and you chose that? It's easier to say "think about" Eraser pointed out.
"There is only one more syllable in "ponder upon" then there is in "think about." It really is not that hard."
"Boots! Just speak normally? Please? Like, fifty percent of the words you use could be put into a shortcut or not even used in general." Eraser huffed.
"Why are you attempting an argument about my word and grammar choice?" Reboot giggled.
Reboot again hugged Eraser.
Eraser sighed, giving up the argument and his personal space.

Eraser stared at Reboot's head, in the dark, the codes on his head gave a dim glow.
Eraser watched his love fall asleep, with his head against Eraser's chest.
He tried to gently remove Reboot from on him, but he clung to him with a tight grip.

Reboot sure looked like a tiny little skeleton, who'd not do to much damage, and, usually, that's the case...
Just a stubborn little skeleton.
However, if he's really determined or pissed, he'll rip you to pieces.
Reboot has a strong soul.

He had a firm hold on Eraser, and Eraser knew he wouldn't get Reboot off him unless he woke him, causing him to whine and beg to be close to him. In the end, he'd most likely have Reboot on him again.

Eraser just had to give up again.
He rolled onto his side slightly, letting Reboot still lay on him, but making it more comfortable for himself.
Eraser slowly began drifting off to sleep... And within a few minutes. He was asleep.
