♗:Your muse falling asleep with their head in my muse's lap.
The two had been hanging out what seemed to be nonstop for the past few months and it still made Peyton confused when he wanted to hang out with them, even more so when they found themselves wanting to see him. It was their first and perhaps only set of interactions in what felt like years with someone other than their father. Their mother moving away had affected them more than they would like to admit to him or to anyone.
So, there they were, listening to the only radio station that would play rap music at that hour. It was something from the nineties that neither of them seemed to be particularly fond of but it was better than listening to whatever was playing on the country music station or to the static. “Someday you’re going to be singing in a studio and I’ll be listening on this dumb thing.” Peyton told him, eyes all but serious, touching the radio with their foot. “I expect a shout out or two.” The truth was they liked how comfortable they were around Jay and although they knew he had other friends, he was their only one and that counted for more than Peyton would ever be willing to admit.
When the summer sun began descending a few hours later, Peyton could feel the sweat that had accumulated on their head and neck from it’s glare coming through the window. Their first reaction was to wipe the sweat with the back of their hand and the second was to look around, realizing that the radio was still going and they were now laying on the old yellow couch. Eyes drifting up, they were greeted by his chin as they realized they’d been using his lap as a pillow. Peyton sat up almost instinctively at the same time that Jay awoke and was looking down. Their head collided with his chin and they both let out a curse of their own.
Peyton stood up, tying their short hair back into a messy bun and rubbing their forehead. “Sorry.” The two said almost simultaneously, at which the brunette had to laugh.
