Only lately was this a regular occurrence. Lucy falling asleep with her head on his lap, or her head against his chest, or even his shoulder, was common these days and not once had he ever told her to move away. Having her so close to him all of the time while their school lives were s o much more hectic than they ever had been before; they rarely got to spend too long together and it was always depressing for them both. Being that they only really had each other to share in the things that they couldn’t share in with their friends, it was strressful spending so many hours with your head in books and exam papers and at the end of it all, only get about half an hour together at the end of each day. They always met up at the treehouse providing the gang weren’t up there themselves on given days and they talked as long as they could——but lately, Lucy had been all kinds of tired, more so than himself, and he wondered if something worse was going on at home.
Gently, he brushed his fingers through her loose hair, combing it behind her ear as she slept soundly, peacefully, gripping the ends of his shirt as she was lost to sleep. Chris smiled down at her, thankful that he had someone other than the guys who he could devote all of his energy to & never be without; someone who loved him, someone that he loved in return.
