"How about something warm? It might help you sleep," said Mint in a soft tone, sitting next to Cinnamon who was lying down on the bed in a futile attempt to get some sleep. He stifled a heavy yawn while he slowly nodded his head.
"Thanks, that might work..."
"Alrighty then."
Responded Mint as he set off to the kitchen in their shared apartment to make some hot tea for him. In the meantime, Cinnamon was staring at the ceiling, looking around at times for no apparent reason, absolutely jaded. He silently prayed for a good rest although he knew deep inside that it probably wouldn't work. He looked to his left as he saw Mint approaching him with a cup of hot tea, gently placing it on his nightstand, and sitting next to him. Cinnamon sat up, sipping the drink delightfully. Mint hoped it would help him. Cinnamon put down the cup on the nightstand and turned around to Mint.
"I'm glad you're here... Or else I would have to go a day without sleeping!" He lightheartedly said, softly chuckling at the end of his sentence. Mint smiled warmly.
"I'm glad you're here too." Mint cooed. Cinnamon blushed a little at that.
A few seconds of awkward silence followed until Cinnamon broke the ice. With a slight stammer, his face gradually heated up as he requested something out of the blue.
"Eh.. M-Mint? Can we cuddle?"
Mint's face lit up. As a matter of fact, he was waiting for him to say that. The corner of his lips curved upwards to form a smile that Cinnamon loved.
"Of course, you didn't have to ask!" He exclaimed jubilantly.
They laid down and Mint wrapped his arms around Cinnamon, who was resting his head on his chest. He was a flustered mess, despite them having done this many times before. Mint ran his hand through Cinnamon's silky orange hair, looking at him with love in his eyes. He was so grateful to be his boyfriend. Cinnamon chuckled and leaned in a little closer to him, finding comfort in the taller man. Mint gave him a light kiss on the forehead, making the other male's face go slightly redder.
"I love you..."
"I love you too."
Slowly but surely, their eyes fluttered shut and in no time, they fell asleep in each other's presence.
