Regrettable Hearts

Oh god. I have no idea how I got into this position, but I both love and hate it. 

Knight remembered falling asleep on the sofa at some point the previous evening, but the rest was a blur. Evidently, a very lengthy blur, because he was now near the back of the sofa, Jared partially on top of him with his head on his chest and one of his legs between his own. 

Keep it PG. Keep it PG. If he wakes up to your mind doing strange things to him, you're going to be more dead than you already likely are. 

It was hard, though. Or really, he was hard. It wasn't exactly his fault, for once, because he sure as hell didn't remember Jared being on the sofa when he'd passed out, so the fact that his leg was pressing against a certain something between his legs was completely not his fault.

"Are you having fun, brother?" Palace asked as he walked into the room in a pair of loose pajama pants, heading for the kitchen. 

"What the hell happened?" Knight whispered, afraid that if he thought the question to his brother that Jared might catch it in his own mind loudly. Volume was something that was hard to control when you were thinking to someone. 

"Hmm? I just had sex with his brother." He said with a shrug before disappearing into the kitchen, returning only when he had a glass of ice water in his hand. After taking a few sips, he leaned against the doorjamb and stared at him. 

"That's not what I meant, nor what I wanted to ever know!" He whisper-shouted. "What happened between me and Jared?" 

"You really want to know the answer to that question, little brother?" He asked, making Knight frown right before he felt Jared nuzzle against his neck slightly. A deep rumble started from the guy's chest, making Knight freeze for a second before he realized that Jared was still fast asleep. 

"Yes." He hissed out quickly. 

His brother grinned over at him and took another sip of water, then replied. 

"He decided to sleep with you, so he slipped onto the sofa while you were asleep." He said before finishing off his water and turning to go refill it in the kitchen. 

It took Knight until his brother was back with a fresh glass to actually compute what he had said. 

"You're joking, right?" He finally said after chancing a glance down at Jared, who was still snug against him and quite asleep. 

Palace rolled his eyes and walked closer. "Why don't you just wake him up and ask him yourself, brother?" He said, making Knight quickly shake his head. He was careful not to move too much while doing it, but definitely did enough to get his point across. That was all he needed, an angry lion who already practically had him pinned down. 

"You're being annoying." Palace grumbled as he swallowed a few big gulps from his second glass of water, then smirked. 

"Wait..." Knight whispered as his eyes widened. 

Seeming not to hear, or at least care, Palace lowered his glass from his lips, then jerked it forward, splashing the cold water toward both of them. 

"Good luck, little brother." He said at the same time a loud, angry roar echoed around the room and Knight squeaked, hunching to the back of the couch as far as he could. 

Please don't neuter me!

The volume of the growl spiked at his abrupt thought right before Jared winced. 

"Oh shit, sorry." Knight said, having not meant to practically yell into the guy's mind. 

He waited there quietly, watching Jared slowly wake up enough to process what had happened. Knight usually loved watching the guy awaken from a nap. He was always slow to get up, but he was so cute when he was drowsy. That short span of time between being asleep and being awake. It didn't help Knight's already hammering heart to see the droplets of water clinging to Jared's skin and the tips of his soft blond hair as he pushed himself up onto his arms.
