5: And so it continues

Chilled:

Anthony woke up with someones back pressed against his chest, their legs intwined with his. He snuggled closer into their warmth, burrying his face in their hair and wrapping his arms tighter around their stomach. Anthonys cuddle buddy responded by mumbling something incoherently before turning towards Anthony and nuzzling their face into his neck. Anthony smiled, but then quckly froze, remembering who it was he was in bed with. 'Oooh shit! Steven!' he thought, and recalling Stevens seemingly less than thrilled reactions to yesterdays events he slowly started to untangle himself from the apparently deep sleeper.

Or at least he tried to, because as he attempted to move away, Steven clung on tighter to him. Everytime Anthony went to pull away Steven would groan and tangle both of them together even more. Giving up Anthony layed back down and on impulse started stroking Stevens hair, which actually ended up relaxing him enough that Anthony could finally get out of the bed.

Stretching out his slightly stiff muscles he decided he should probably go shower, since Steven said he could use the shower and he hadn't had a chance to yet after going to the gym yesterday and getting pop spilled on him, even if he wiped it all off. Before he left the bedroom though he stopped to look at Stevens sleeping form.

'He looks so peaceful. God what I wouldn't give to wake up with someone like him every day'

Tearing his gaze away from the beauty before him, Anthony made his way to the bathroom, stripped of his borrowed bottoms then showered. When he finished he realized he didn't have any clothes to change into, so he dried off and put the pj bottoms back on. He decided to make them both breakfast and went to the kitchen, setting up the coffee pot and turning it on, remembering how Steven really wanted coffee yesterday morning. Then he searched the fridge and settled on some waffles he found in the freezer and threw some of them in the toaster, then grabbed some butter and syrup to put on them when they were finished. Once that was all done he set it up on the small kitchen table and went to go get Steven.

Stealthily walking into the bedroom he began creeping up to Stevens sleeping form, thinking of all the fun ways he could wake him up, but just as he reached Stevens side of the bed he stumbled and fell onto the floor with a loud thump. "What are you doing?" Steven rasped out, his sleepy voice deep and sexy from just being woken up. Anthony looked up to see him leaning over the edge of the bed, watching him lay face down on the floor.

"Breakfast is ready." Anthony groaned.

And just like that Steven was up and out of bed, heading to the kitchen. "I'm okay, thanks for asking!" Anthony called out, then also got up to go eat.

After breakfast Anthony borrowed a hoodie since all Stevens shirts were too small, threw on some pants and went up to the fourth floor to see if he could get some of his stuff since the fire was long gone, and his end of the hall was mostly undamaged. They allowed him to get some of his things, like clothing, and some electronical equiptment, but he was supervised the entire time and not allowed to linger.

Returning he found that Steven had thrown both of their dirty clothes and the couch cusion covers into the washing machien, showered, gotten dressed and was now on the phone talking to someone. He dropped his stuff he grabbed in Stevens room, and  pulled out his own phone and started checking his social media sites while he drifted closer to Steven and caught the end of the conversation he was having. "....sooner than I expected, but I don't need to go anywhere today so it'll be fine... yeah no problem!.." Anthony wondered who it was, but felt slightly bad for eavesdropping so he went to the kitchen and sat on a chair reading on his phone all the comments about the collaboration Steven put up of both of them, most of the comments being positive and wanting more of them together.

Steven having finished his call came over and said "Some of my roomates things are arriving today, so I won't be able to leave the appartment, but you can still go out and do stuff if you're wanting to." But while that's what he said, his expression showed that he wasn't super enthusiastic about spending the day home alone.

"Nah I'll hangout with you if you're ok with that, all my friends are out of town anyway." Anthony said, then realizing that it kind of sounded like he was only hanging out with Steven because he had nothing else to do, he added in a rush "Which I would totally do if they were here anyway! I mean you're super cool to hang out with, so I'm very happy to hang out with you!"

Steven just seemed to find all his rambling and panicked backtracking extremely amusing, as he had his hand half over his mouth trying to hide his grin and stiffle his quiet laughs. Anthony sighed. "And since when have you had a room-mate?" he asked, half tring to change the subject, half curious.

"Well, they haven't moved in yet obviously since the second rooms still empty, but apparently they're going to be here ahead of schedule so they arranged for some of their main furniture to be sent today so I can set it up." Steven said, seeming happy with the prospect of this friend moving in.

"Oh that's cool I guess. Well what do you want to do all day while we wait for their stuff? We could play card, build a fort with the couch cushions, or...." he trailed off, standing up and drawing closer to Steven, close enough to brush against him.

"Or?" Steven said, seeming slightly uncomfortable with the closeness and face slightly red, but not pulling away. Smirking Anthony leaned in even closer staring directly into his lovely green eyes. "This." he said, pullling back, and lifting up his phone to show Steven all the comments on their colab. video Steven uploaded yesterday. "Since everyone liked it so much i thought we could do some more! I even grabbed some of my equiptment when I got my stuff!" he said, excitedly.

And that was how they spent their day, similar to the first day, stopping in the afternoon to help the delivery people drag all the furniture into the other bedroom. They decided to set up and build all the furniture tomorrow, instead hanging out recording and goofing around. At the end of the night Anthony retired to the now clean couch. He still only wore pajama bottoms on the off chance that Steven might come out and be able to see all the glory that was Chilledchaos.

While trying to fall asleep, he thought about how lucky was that Steven took him in. He had not only given him a place to stay, but had become a very good friend in that short time. Steven may have been good looking, but it was his kind heart that was really winning Anthony over.

Holy crap guys, thankyou for all the reads votes and comments, they mean a lot to me! Also any guesses for who Stevens room-mate is?
