Sleepless Nights chapter 26 on FF

6. “Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?” 

[this work is the first chapter of a longer fic — AO3]

The little moments stick to you like omens 

The door closed, squeaking loudly as it always had as far as Charlie could remember. She pushed against it as she turned the lock until she heard the distinctive click. Sighing, she leaned against the door, trying to gather herself before turning to her fiancé. Who was apparently half naked in her childhood bed.

“What the hell, Connor?”

He’d been leaning on the headboard, shirtless, with the sheets concealing his lower body, and reading a battered blue notebook, which Charlie definitely remembered as being her journal pre “Uncle Miles’ boyfriend Bass has a son, his name is Connor and he’s gonna spend Christmas with us”.

“So you had a crush on my dad when you were a kid, huh?” Connor cocked an eyebrow and smiled smugly. So smugly that Charlie couldn’t help but screech and jump on the bed to wrestle the journal out of his hands. After a bit of a tussle — their parents were probably thinking they were doing something else considering the racket, but that would serve them for making them share a room — Charlie found herself in possession of the notebook while sitting in Connor’s lap. Connor’s hips buckled to get her off him, her hands reached for his thigh under the sheets to settle down but the sheets slipped off his legs, revealing to Charlie a very naked upper thigh and a distinct lack of boxers around Connor’s ass. 

She jumped off him, still clutching the notebook to her chest, and turned to place the notebook in her desk drawer.

“Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?” Just thinking of the fact that she’d probably groped his thighs several times during the tussle had her blushing so bad she couldn’t turn around and face him. 

“Well, that’s just how I sleep. But I guess I could make an effort and wear some sweatpants.” She could feel the smugness oozing from him, and almost turned around to lash out when the bed creaked under Connor’s weight.

“You’re an ass, and you’re also wearing boxers under those sweatpants.” 

Rummaging through her bag, looking for her sleepwear she was struck by an idea. She waited until he was back in the bed, before taking off her blouse and then shimming out of her jeans, standing in the bedroom in her red bra and black panties.

“I hope you don’t mind, I only wear a t-shirt when I sleep.” She undid the bra clasp, letting it fall along her arms into the bag before putting on her sleep shirt. It was a free shirt with the university logo she had won her first month there and it barely hid her ass. Turning to him, she saw his eyes flit away from her while his face looked redder than before. She couldn’t help but add, because she couldn’t sleep otherwise, yet also out of pettiness:

“I always sleep on the left of the bed by the way.” 

The bed creaked again as Connor moved away from her, grumbling as he went, “Honestly, this plan sucks, they didn’t react like we planned at all.” It seemed that they were finally gonna talk about this thing they were stuck in, after spending the whole afternoon and the quite long family dinner acting like lovebirds. 

“I don’t understand why they reacted like that, your dad was smiling, like the smile he usually only gives to Uncle Miles and my mom was so cool with it, what the hell? Every decision I have made since I turned fifteen was dissected and criticized and we tell her I’m getting engaged to you, Monroe’ son and she’s smiling and asking when’s the wedding.” 

Connor punched his pillow and played with a thread while Charlie couldn’t help but glare at her bedroom, betrayed by the people she thought she knew best. 

“I’m pretty sure I saw her and Danny exchange a bill in the kitchen. And. And I don’t understand how Miles thought you had proposed to me and Dad agreed with him! Damn, the one time Dad is proud of me is over my choice of fake fiancée.” His hands clenched as he spoke. “What do we do now? The plan was to tell them it was fake after a week, and for them to be relieved and agree that it was a nice prank. But they are… Happy about this? What do we do?” 

Charlie turned off the lights, in that moment, lying down in the same bed as Connor, their heads facing each other she felt very lost and yet completely safe.

“I don’t know. I guess we could, huh, we could keep it up and wait for an opportunity to tell them it was fake. No offense but I don’t think us getting married over a prank would be a good thing.” 

He sighed, “That’s what we’ll do then, wait for the right moment and break it to them. Night.” 

“Night.” 

hahaha, omg, okay *cracks knuckles* time to explain The Fic Idea (although really half the idea comes from @monroe-militia who helped me brainstorm it up) 

It’s a Charlett, No Blackout AU with a very special blend of Fake Dating/Marriage trope and I think Charlie in a dress will definitely happen at some point ;)

Revolution icons: Nora, Jason, Charlett & Connor

Or as @monroe-militia put it: Connor looks so happy in the Charlett one and then he’s having his power photoshoot in the next and then Jason is cover of a romance novel with his bow in the next one and then there’s all the gorgeous Nora ones
