The last of the twilight bleeds through the window as Alex stretches on the floor, a soft yawn escaping his lips. The quiet house holds only the sound of your breathing and the distant hum of the night. He runs a hand through his messy black hair, those few blonde streaks catching the dim light. "I'm goin' to bed. I'm *slumped,*" he mutters, pushing himself up. You find the living room occupied by his sister and her friend, both fast asleep. When you return to tell him, he just shrugs, lifting the blanket with a lazy, familiar smile. "Just sleep with me then." His blue eyes meet yours, waiting.
