I gently pushed the break down and flipped the car into drive. I turned the hazards off and gripped the steering wheel.

"Wait." He picked his head up. "It's hot in here..." he turned the heater down and relaxed back down on the seat.
"Hand." I reached out. He agreed and gripped my hand while I drove us home.
He quickly fell asleep and I pulled into a gas station.
Time to be nice for once.
I filled it up and leaned against the car to look at the weather.
"You're getting gas? You had enough to get home."
"I know but I wanted to be nice. You can go back to sleep."
"I'm not tired anymore."
"Well... I'll drive you the rest of the way."

I got back in and pulled my seatbelt over my head.
"Thank you." He said as I began driving.
"Mmhmm."
For another hour, I drove in the rain. Markus fell back asleep, too.

"Hey... we're here." I shook him.
"Already?"
"You we're asleep the whole time."
"Oh."
"Yeah." I pulled his hair out of his face and watched as he sat up.
We both got out of the car and walked side by side up to the apartments.
"Are you staying at my place tonight?" He asked.
"Depends..." I shrugged and peeked at his face.
"On...?"
"What we're doing."
"Well what would you want to do?"
"I don't know. I'm just kind of tired." We entered the elevator.
"Hm..." he stared at the doors.

"Alright!" I gave in and grabbed his hand. "I'll go to your place."
We exited the elevator and quickly headed straight to his place. We got in and took a seat on the couch.
"We can watch a movie..." He suggested and looked at his hands.
"What do you have to watch?"
"They're in the back." He stood up and told me to follow. We walked into his completely neat and clear bedroom with his dog sleeping on his bed.
"You can pick from there."

I sat for a minute and pulled out a movie at random.
"Calypso, down." Markus softly said. His large fluff ball of a dog got up and left the room.
"I'm going to change." I turned to face Mark.
"Alright." he replied and took the movie.

I entered my apartment and quickly changed. I then speedily ran back to Mozes' apartment and then into his room.
"Have you seen this movie?" He asked.
"No." I replied and looked at the case. "I just grabbed it."
"My teacher gave it to me and told me to watch it when I'm older."
I took a seat on his bed and watched him set it up.
Once he joined me on the bed, I scooted closer to him and gently placed my head on his shoulder.

As we were watching the movie, I began getting tired. Markus was completely focused on the movie.
"This is your type of movie?" I yawned and wrapped my arms around him.
"Crime movies are my favorite." His arms came around me.
"It's cold."
"Well..." he pulled the blanket over us and then looked at me. "Are you tired?"
"Nah..." I replied and cuddled into him. I rested my eyes and quickly fell asleep.
"Hey..." he shook me awake. "You took your shirt off."
I looked at my shirt on the floor and chuckled to myself.
"What the heck? Sorry... I didn't even know I could do that in my sleep."
"It's fine. Can I..."
"Go ahead." I smiled.

He pulled his shirt over his head and sat back again.
"Dude..." I peeked at his abs.
"Hm?"
"You've got something there." I placed my hand down on his abs and kept eye contact.
"I go to the gym."
"I should go to the gym..."
He peeked down at my stomach and I instantly felt my face flush.
"Actually, you've got something, too."
"Those are just my rolls." I tapped my stomach.
"Jaymes, you're far too skinny to have rolls."
"Mmm... they're rolls."

That night, we fell asleep on each others arms.
When I woke up, Markus was out of the room and he left my shirt neatly folded at the end of the bed. I quickly pulled it over my head and walked out.
"Morning." He he touched my shoulder as he walked past. "Go get ready for work. Big day."
"Alright."
I left his apartment and walked into mine. I took a shower and changed into a set of my new business clothes. I grabbed a tie and sat, trying to figure out how to tie it.
"Eh..." I started talking to myself. "I used to know how to do this..."
I grabbed my backpack and left my apartment. As I entered Markus' apartment, I watched him pace.
