Welcome to Gaia! ::

Juniper made a noise, burying his face. Things needed to not be so bright already and the birds needed to shut up. It was too soon to be morning. Not after the night he had.

...

Wait.

Juniper slowly opened his eyes, another noise escaping him as he adjusted to the light. Oh. Right. This had happened. He and Nelson were currently a tangled mess of limbs and hair. On the couch. How one of them hadn't fallen off was beyond him. Juni stretched, as best as the angle would allow him and used it as a blatant excuse to nuzzle against the other. "...We spent all night on the couch." The smaller man muttered. "I believe I made a vague threat about kicking you off of it if we did."

He wouldn't do it. But Nelson didn't know that.

Juniper hummed a soft noise. "Mmm. No. I think I'ma tease you. We slept in jeans. You didn't even stay awake long enough to change." With a quiet sigh, he followed Nelson as he moved, settling back against the taller man. "Nelson. It's okay. I'm not mad." He couldn't be mad. Not about this, not really. "You asked me to stay, yes. I stayed though because I wanted to. I was worried about you."

With a sigh, he wrapped his arms back around Nelson. "...If... If I wasn't okay with this, don't you think I would have moved you to your bed? I... I am comfortable too."

"Oh ye of little faith. I may be smaller, but I think I can surprise you." Juni snickered.

He relaxed as Nelson settled back against him. Bringing a hand up, he carded through Nelson's hair, avoiding getting to close to Nelson's neck as he did so. "Best friend huh?" Not that Juni could blame him. "I feel the same. About staying. About my best friend." Even though it had only been a few months, Juni couldn't imagine his life without Nelson. "Though, next time one of us goes to pass out, can we do it where we have a little more room to stretch out?" Juniper laughed. "Not that I am complaining about the current situation but.. We might feel it in a few hours."

Or at the very lease they change out of jeans.

Gently he pulled what he could of Nelson's hair out of the way. "...Do we wanna look at it or do you even wanna move right now? How are you feeling?"

"That's fair." Juniper said. "We might be in trouble if we pass out at my place though." Thorn would... definitely not be happy if either of them passed out with chunks missing out of them.

"That sounds so much better then the couch." Juni said, snuggling close. "Though, I uh.. I have to admit I uh, I do like... This." He said, waving a hand and gesturing to the two of them. "The uh..-" A flush crept over Juni's cheeks. Now he wanted to hide. "Closeness. Being curled up. Here. With... you." Juniper liked it, a lot.

"That means we have to get up. ....Did you want to get up?" He for one, did not. "We... We can look around, but we don't have to rush anything either." They had their phones at the very least. They could always watch something on that.

They had so many options... Staying in did sound nice... But so did stopping by his place to get other clothes.

Juniper sighed as he stretched. "...I should probably go home for a change of clothes... I don't want to sleep in jeans." Again. Even though his phone was currently off, he would need the charge for when he turned it back on... "We could always order in too..." Juniper suggested. Assuming they found something they even liked. "I'm paying this time though, you paid for the cafe we went to a while ago." Though they might hafta do a little recon before actually going to his place. If Marq was hanging around ready to jump him... Well, Juni couldn't blame her.

"You didn't answer the question though. How are you feeling?"

"I told you I would be there if you needed me. Did you think I was just going to let you fend for yourself with this? Like hello?" Not to mention, it would probably look bad if he knew a General was hurt, and he did nothing to help. Though, he wasn't really out to impress anyone amongst the ranks.

Juni cuddled in close when Nelson moved closer. "Then... Why don't we stay in for now. We can order some food and see how we feel in a couple hours?" Tv hunting, or whatever could wait. He didn't want to make Nelson buy things simply cause he was there. For now, a few things can wait.

"I like being with you too..." He said softly. A lot, actually. He liked it a lot. "Um... There is something I wanted to do, actually..."

Juniper was more then content to just stay there, curled up with Nelson. "...I know you would Nel... " He too, would do anything for the other boy. Biting his lip for a moment, before leaning in and pressing a shy kiss against his lips. "I.. um.. That.. That was all I wanted to do." He muttered.

Juniper giggled, wrapping his fingers around the hand on his cheek. "Beat you to it." He teased lightly. "I uh... I've kinda wanted to do it for a little while I think. I just... didn't really realize it till last night." Juni admitted quietly. Reaching up, Juni combed his fingers through Nelson's bangs, brushing them out of his face as best he could. "...You gonna be okay?" Yeah sure, Nelson said he wanted to too, but Juni was still afraid he'd made things awkward. He didn't want to hurt Nelson, just cause he'd gotten butterflies in his stomach. That was the last thing he wanted. Ever.
