Michael sat up in bed. He looked over to where Jeremy was asleep on the floor. He sighed. They usually slept in the same bed, but tonight Jeremy had insisted on sleeping on the floor. 

"Jeremy..." Michael whispered. "You awake?"

Jeremy rolled over and opened his eyes. "What?"

"C'mere..." He stretched out his arms. "I wanna cuddle,"

Jeremy sat up and shook his head. "I don't want to,"

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want your parents to think we're- you know- doing stuff,

Michael sighed. "Jeremy they know we're dating... and besides, cuddling is not the same as doing that,"

"I know, but..."

"Jeremy we've shared a bed at sleepovers since we were kids. I mean, name one sleepover where we haven't shared a bed!"

"Last Tuesday,"

"We fell asleep on the same beanbag,"

"We did?"

"Oh my god, you don't remember?"

"No?"

"You were losing at Mario cart so you climbed into my lap to distract me, but then you fell asleep instead,"

"Oh...yeah..." 

"So are you gonna get in now?"

"No,"

Michael groaned. "You're killing me, Jeremy! I just want to cuddle!"

Jeremy laid back down and rolled over. 

"Ok, that's it..." Michael got out of bed and walked over to Jeremy. He bent over and picked him up by the waist. 

"MICHAEL PUT ME DOWN!" Jeremy yelled.

"No chance," He threw Jeremy onto the bed and laid down next to him. Michael wrapped his arms around Jeremy's waist. 

"Let me go!" Jeremy started wiggling around, trying to escape from Michael's grip.

"Stop squirming!" Michael moved his arms so that he was pinning Jeremy's arms down. That didn't stop Jeremy from kicking his legs around. "What did I say about the squirming, Jeremy?" Michael wrapped his legs around Jeremy's. 

"LET ME GO!" He yelled again. 

Michael put his hand over Jeremy's mouth. "Shut up, you'll wake up my parents, and- if I recall- that's what you didn't want to do in the first place?"

Jeremy groaned. Michael took his hand off of Jeremy's mouth. "I promise not to yell,"

"Good," He unwrapped himself from around Jeremy. "Now go to sleep,"

Michael put his hand on Jeremy's waist and closed his eyes. 

Jeremy smiled. He liked annoying Michael. 

But, as much as he complained about it, he really did love cuddling with Michael.
