It’s fine, I guess.

[forrestparker-blog]

I have them too.

[sfwswhite-blog]

Umm, sometimes…

[forrestparker-blog]

That sucks. Sorry.

[sfwswhite-blog]

I think so… I don’t think I had any nightmares?

[forrestparker-blog]

Lucy and I certainly didn’t notice any. Do you have nightmares often?

[sfwswhite-blog]

Oh. Ok.

[forrestparker-blog]

Did you sleep well?

[sfwswhite-blog]

Why didn’t you sleep?

[forrestparker-blog]

I didn’t feel like it.

[sfwswhite-blog]

I feel bad. I took your bed.

[forrestparker-blog]

I could have just slept on the couch. It’s really fine. You don’t have to feel bad.

[sfwswhite-blog]

I’m sorry.

[forrestparker-blog]

Oh, that’s not your fault.

[sfwswhite-blog]

[nods after a long moment, petting Lucy softly] Did you sleep, though?

[forrestparker-blog]

Uh-- no.

[sfwswhite-blog]

[slowly sits up] I didn’t mean to sleep here… I’m sorry… Did you sleep?

[forrestparker-blog]

Oh, it’s not a problem. Friends are supposed to have sleep-overs, right?

[sfwswhite-blog]

[slowly wakes up, disoriented by his surroundings and the fur against his arm] Wh- Forrest?

[forrestparker-blog]

[turns so he can see Logan from his desk] Oh! Good morning.

[sfwswhite-blog]

[leans a bit further towards Forrest, suddenly half-toppling onto Forrest’s shoulder which makes him jump a bit before he relaxes again]

[forrestparker-blog]

[flinches a bit at the same time as Logan, but smiles when Logan relaxes against his shoulder]

[sfwswhite-blog]

[sort of cuddles into Forrest’s shoulder, falling even more asleep]

[forrestparker-blog]

[bites down his smile and just watches the movie, letting Logan sleep]

[sfwswhite-blog]

[leans a bit further towards Forrest, suddenly half-toppling onto Forrest’s shoulder which makes him jump a bit before he relaxes again]

[forrestparker-blog]

[flinches a bit at the same time as Logan, but smiles when Logan relaxes against his shoulder]

[sfwswhite-blog]

[begins to fall asleep, leaning slightly towards Forrest]

[forrestparker-blog]

[notices Logan getting closer to him but says nothing]

[sfwswhite-blog]

[rests his hand on Lucy, petting her slowly]

[forrestparker-blog]

[...watches movie and laughs lightly at a funny joke]

[sfwswhite-blog]

[nods once and turns his attention back to the movie even though he’s not sure what’s going on]

[forrestparker-blog]

[slowly turns back to the movie as well]

[sfwswhite-blog]

[moves a little bit closer to Forrest, speaking very softly] You’re attractive, too, you know.

[forrestparker-blog]

[goes a little red and smiles, speaking softly to match him] Thank you.

[sfwswhite-blog]

[slowly nods, staring at Forrest for a moment]

[forrestparker-blog]

[smiles uncertainly]
