Get out

Late Night Talks

"Yeah? Why is that dangerous?" Brett chuckled, just enjoying the warm feeling. He wasn't used to feeling things this strongly.

" It's a pretty broad statement. It could be whatever I wanted when it comes to cuddles, which could be a lot of things" Eddy giggled.

"It seems you're pretty innocent as of now, so I'm not too worried," Brett chuckled, looking down at Eddy. He considered running his hand through Eddy's soft hair, but hesitated. He didn't want to overstep and freak him out.

" I'll let you think I'm innocent in cuddles for now, it's better that way," Eddy let his eyes fall closed in relaxation, everything smelled like Brett, it was warm and peaceful.

"Right," Brett chuckled, finally somewhat giving in to his need to touch Eddy's hair by brushing it out of his face. "I wonder where your line for cuddles goes if it can be anything that's not innocent."

" Hmmm guess you'd have to find out" Eddy lifted his head slightly to get more hair pets, he liked it.

Brett noticed how Eddy leaned into the touch and moved to comb his fingers through his hair instead, taking mental note of how soft it was. He wanted to pretend this was more than just Eddy's need for physical contact.

If Eddy could purr like a cat he'd probably be at this very moment. He kept his eyes closed relaxing even further.

"You sleepy?" Brett asked, brushing through his hair again. He wasn't sure if he should let him sleep there or not. If this all was a trick, he'd be done for.

" A bit but I had a nap before I came so not completely, I'm just comfy. You're warm and relaxing, " Eddy murmured quietly, opening his eyes to look.

"Hope it's not a lot worse than your girlfriend," Brett chuckled, pushing some of Eddy's bangs behind his ear. He wanted to kiss his forehead, but figured that was way over the line. Stupid brain coming up with stupid ideas.

If Eddy squint hard enough Brett could kinda look like Alex, felt like him too but softer. They of course smelled completely different, Alex always had a metallic blood smell to him but Brett smelled floral, " Don't think about that right now, it's perfect just being you."

"Hard not to, if I'm honest," Brett shrugged, looking down at him again. "I feel bad you have to make do with me instead of getting to crawl into bed with her. I hope the call will make a little up for it."

" Let me clarify, I don't want to think about it now. I know that I probably won't be leaving here alive at least you won't let me leave. The what ifs and not knowing what's going to happen to me is scary. " Eddy rubbed his face against Brett's arm trying not to feel sorrowful but it hurt to think about, he wouldn't be let go because he knew too much, he also knew that he would become of little importance and be eventually killed, even if he escaped he'd most likely be killed under the assumption he snitched, which would mean punishment.

"We'll see. Don't lose hope completely just yet," Brett mumbled, trying his best not to feel bad. He just did his job. "Sorry for bringing it up."

" I'm disposable Brett, I'm pretty screwed either way," Eddy rubbed Brett's arm then squeezed," It's just our jobs, shit happens."

"What makes you think I'll let something happen to you, hm? We're buddies, aren't we? From back in the day?" Brett mumbled, resting his cheek on top of Eddy's head. "I'll figure something out, just give me some time."

" Once you get bored of me you might... You can't keep me forever can you? This is a depressing topic, let's not talk about it right now." Eddy sighed trying to keep himself relaxed feeling his anxiety spike up, " You can have all the time you want Bretty."
