"Aster, did something happen?" I asked honestly worried, his best friends birthday was today and I didn't expect him to contact me at all today.
"Can I ask a favor?" He sounds sheepish and almost embarrassed, but I reply with a confirmation and wait for his favor. "Can I sleep at your house?" I'm honestly a bit surprised, but before I can reply he goes to explain himself, "It's just late and I'm super tired and I don't feel like walking home and the next bus is in an hour, but if it makes you uncomfortable than it's ok I can walk home. Never mind this was stupid sorry for waking you."
This was all said so quickly that I needed a moment to register it and I quickly spoke up to keep him from hanging up."Aster, wait. It's ok." I stress the last part wanting to make sure that he knows I'm not upset with him or something. "You can sleep here, just text me when you're here so you don't wake my family."
I can hear the amusement in his voice after he thanks me and say "You can open the doors now, but if you want I can text you first." This only causes me to roll my eyes at his silliness before hanging up and making my way to the front door. Unlocking it I find my Aster leaning against the rail and smiling like a loon, the alcohol must still be in his system, because his smiles were only ever that wide when he had something to drink. He hugs me and gives me a peck on the cheek, before trying to say something. I quickly shush him though, so he takes off his shoes and jacket and we make our way stealthily to my room.
Once inside he hugs me again and leans his head against my shoulder while thanking me, I only smile and tell him to get off so I can find him some pj's to wear. It's a good thing I enjoy male and unisex clothes or else he'd have to sleep in his underwear, then again maybe he prefers that? I toss him a pair of green boxers and a black t-shirt that he dutifully puts on, while I turn around. We may be a couple, but we haven't gotten past first base and we weren't in a hurry.
With that out of the way I thought about sleeping arangments, I could either put him in the office since there was a futon there or my brothers room. Although the second option wasn't the best idea, since that room was filled with dust. So I asked him where he'd prefer to sleep, he surprised me with his answer, "Can I sleep with you?"
This was most definitely shocking and I had to ask him, "You mean you want to sleep in my twin sized bed with me?" At this I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "I don't think we can fit."
"Please," he spoke and gave me the puppy dog eyes. Curse him and those eyes! Giving in I motioned to my bed and got in with him following after me. We somehow managed to fit and get comfortable enough to fall asleep in a mater of moments.
When I awoke it was to the feeling of someone breathing lightly on my face and a heat next to my body. It took me a moment to realize Aster was in my bed and we seemed to be cuddling in a way. It was nice. Usually when I awaken on a weekend I tend to get out of bed immediately, this time though I couldn't help but snuggle into the body next to mine and fall back asleep for another hour.
It's Saturday and it's not like I have plans for today anyway.
