"It is so hot" you said. I was self conscious of the sweat pooling on the back of my knees but you kept your legs intertwined with mine. "My legs are so sweaty" you said. I could feel the sweat dripping down my neck and prickling on my forehead, I thought about it as you pressed your lips to those places. i realised I was not worried, we were squished together soaked in sweat and all I could feel was the love and comfort pouring off of you, pouring off of me to meet somewhere in the middle of us.
The night stretched on, the air grew colder. You yawned for the 5th time, i know this because i found it adorable each time you would scrunch your whole face up before blinking slowly as if you were trying to refocus your vision. "I want sleep" I cursed my body for needing to do normal bodily functions as I ventured outside. I came back shivering still reeling from the temperature change. "Its so cold out there" i mumbled stating the obvious as I undressed trying to disguise from the fact that seeing you dishevelled in my bed watching me with those tired eyes with your pupils blown wide and that fucking smile on your face did not completely overwhelm me with a sense of belonging. I crawled in next to you and you as if its just instinct wrapped yourself around me. "Sleep time" I whispered before kissing you and turing the only source of light off. Darkness spread and I waited for the fear of that to come. It didnt have a chance because you rolled over, got comfortable and pulled my arms around you, you wrapped me around you as if I was a blanket, a comfort thing. "Before we were so hot and now we are huddling together for warmth" I could hear the smile in your tired gravelly voice that undoes me everytime. I grinned and kissed your back and I honestly think you were already asleep by then, I squeezed in closer not for the warmth but for the feeling of holding you close.
