Chapter Text
Prompt: Agron/Nasir, college AU, one or both of them pulling an all-nighter
The relentless pounding of sleet against the window eventually wakes Nasir from his sleep. He blinks his eyes open and then quickly shuts them again, rubbing at them against the bright light filling the room from Agron’s desk lamp. When he can see again, he squints at the alarm clock on the nightstand and sees that it’s nearly four a.m. He looks back over at Agron, still flipping through his notes and muttering to himself, but lacking the energy he had when Nasir passed out on him around midnight. He’s slumped forward over the desk, his chin resting heavily in one hand, and he looks half mad with lack of sleep.
Nasir understands how he feels; he went through the same thing last week when all of his final art projects were due. The tradeoff being, he’s not furiously re-hashing all of his lecture notes for an eight a.m. final. Speaking of which.
“Babe,” he says quietly, though he manages to startle Agron anyway, if the way his head jerks in his hand is any indication.
Agron turns in his chair, stretching his neck. “Hey, sorry, I didn’t wake you up, did I?”
“Nah, it was the storm. You should come to bed, though. You’re not gonna remember anything you’re reading now in four hours anyway. Not sleeping would be worse at this point.”
Agron drags his hand over his face and sighs, slumping in his chair even further. “You’re probably right.”
Nasir smirks. “I usually am. Come on, get in,” he says, holding up the edge of the comforter.
“If I wasn’t so tired, I’d have some kind of retort,” Agron complains.
“I know you would, babe,” Nasir replies. “Turn off the light.”
Agron rolls his neck one more time, then flips off the lamp and crawls into the bed. Nasir wraps himself around his boyfriend, tucking his face into Agron’s neck, and makes a pleased noise when Agron relaxes against him and his breathing begins to deepen. He won’t get nearly enough sleep, but Nasir will make sure he at least has some.
