Uncomfortable

Justin shifted under the sheets. He was too hot. Flinging the sheets to the side he flopped onto his stomach. He was too cold. Ripping the sheets back up he threw one long leg on top of the sheet and left the other under. He was uncomfortable.

"Stop movin' dirty," Nelly's voice was muffled against his pillow and heavy with sleep.

"Sorry." Justin lay on his back unmoving for all of fifteen seconds before he started wiggling around again. Nelly groaned.

There was a large hand on Justin's stomach, holding him still.

"No. movin'. stop. now." Nelly was still on his stomach, eyes closed as if by keeping them shut he wouldn't actually wake up.

Justin turned his head watching Nelly's back move as he breathed. "You asleep?"

"Come oooon J! It's. It's real fuckin' early is what it is." Nelly whined as he squinted one eye open and sighed when he saw Justin's big blue eyes focusing on him. Nelly gave in and opened both his eyes. "Okay, what is it?"

Justin reached for the hand on his belly and laced their fingers together.

"You ever wonder what's going on here?"

"What'd ya mean?"

"Like, where this is gonna lead," Justin gestured with both their hands. "When does the music end?"

"Um, no?" Nelly continued to watch Justin who was now staring at the ceiling, and being remarkably still aside from the thumb that was brushing back and forth across Nelly's hand.

"You ever wonder 'bout us? When we can we be an us" Justin's brow was furrowed and Nelly recognized the worried look.

"We are an us."

"No, I mean, like. In public. out. and just. I dunno. I just." Justin sighed.

"I think you're over thinking things J." Nelly stretched his neck and kissed the scruff along Justin's jawbone, the short hairs tickling his lips. Justin turned his head and caught Nelly's lips with his own. Nelly looked at Justin, eyes wide and impossibly blue and went for it. "You think I'll get as many screams as you when we're both up there tonight?"

Justin broke into a grin and leaned over, kissing Nelly hard on the lips, still smiling when he pulled back. "Yeah?"

Nelly nodded. "Yeah J."

Justin curled himself around Nelly, keeping their hands entwined and rubbing the short curls in the crook of Nelly's neck.

"Now go to sleep."

Justin hummed and fell asleep smiling.
