Neil sat up in bed with a sigh. He didn't know why, but he just couldn't sleep. Probably because his mind kept wandering back to Harrison. Ever since that heartfelt confession this morning, things had been going well for them. His gaze swept over towards the other's bed.

The magic lover was still awake scrolling through his phone. Suddenly, the brunet found himself craving his touch. He froze.

"Control yourself, Neil!" he thought, annoyed. There was no way in hell he would admit to the strawberry blond he wanted attention. It'd make him feel vulnerable.

He laid back down, his back towards his crush. But the urge only grew stronger. He huffed and rolled over, watching Harrison for a bit. The illusionist noticed this and glanced over. "Hm? What's up?"

He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. With an eye roll, he pulled out his phone and sent the charmer a text. The older's phone went off and he checked it.

Neil: I feel stupid for asking, but...
Neil: Can we cuddle...?

He chuckled softly and looked over at his roommate. "You could've just came over here, silly." He shut off his phone and lifted the covers.

Feeling embarrassed, the younger shuffled into bed with him. He was thankful that it was dark, so Harrison couldn't see his blush.

He gently wrapped an arm around Neil and pulled him closer. "There's nothing to be ashamed of, hon."

"Hon?" The scientist looked up at him playfully. "We're pulling nicknames out of the hat now, aren't we?"

A smirk tugged at his lips. "Do you want them to disappear?"

The scholar shrugged and moved closer to him. "I don't mind them..." He started to trace circles on his companion's chest. His mind screamed at him not to, but for once, his heart was in control of his actions.

Harrison could hardly even think straight- well, for obvious reasons. He buried his face in the brown curls, hiding his blush. They soon fell asleep like that, curled up in each other's arms.
