neil woke up in a bind. specifically, he woke up with andrewās arms wound around his waist and andrewās leg draped over his thighs. neil wiggled around in his grip, but andrew didnāt relinquish him.
ādrew,ā neil said, poking him gently in the side. āandrew.ā
andrew let out a long, sleepy sigh and pulled neil closer, squishing his cheek against neilās shoulder.
neil let out a chuckle. āiāve got to go on my run,ā he said with another attempt to untangle his limbās from andrewās.
andrew acknowledged that with a grunt. one hazel eye popped open, blearily focusing on neil.
andrew grunted again. neil poked him with his finger but andrew swatted his hand away.
neil supposed he didnāt need to go on his run. the windows outside were cloudy from the cold air and neil was sure the sidewalks were still slippery from last nightās dusting of snow. and andrew was warm and solid and already drifting to sleep again.
curling his fingers in andrewās messy bed head, neil tucked his chin against the top of andrewās head and drew his arms up around his shoulders. andrew let out another content sigh and the two of them fell asleep against each other, warm and comfortable in the otherās arms.
neil wouldnāt have it any other way.
