one night stand au ( this is better )
he wakes up slowly, curled around a body and feeling warm skin pressed comfortably against his own. theo has always been a cuddler, but it still takes a while to realize that this is real life, not a dream. his eyes snap open and he scrambles away from the body only to fall out of his own bed.
“jesus-- fuck!” he doesn’t remember to keep his voice down, of course, and the person he was curled so happily up against rolled over with wide eyes. “fuck, sorry, shit! that hurts!” theo sits up, naked as the day he was born and rubbing his elbow from where it had knocked against the less than forgiving ground.
“that’s not what i meant when i said i’d make you see stars, y’know.” the boy in his bed gives him a lazy smirk, and slowly the previous night comes back to theo. a party, flirting, kissing sloppily in a bathroom and a promise for a little more fun. teasing on the way back to his place, wandering hands and lips.. and y’know. stuff.
theo shook his head. “sorry. fuck, you scared me.”
the boy looked amused, wrapping the blankets around himself and sitting up fully to stare down at the other still seated on the ground. “so it’s not a usual thing for you then?”
“what?” theo ponders it a moment, suddenly remembering the boy’s name; jimmy.
“you don’t usually wake up next to someone.”
he couldn’t keep the slight frown off his face, giving another shake of his head. “no one usually stays the night.”
