The moment his iPhone screen blared to life, Dennis scrambled for what could pass as his belongings. A leather messenger bag, his wallet, and a bounded journal that appeared to be his. Thank God he’d retained his sharp organization despite this mess he’d been thrust into, whatever it was. As he left the house in a rush to catch a moment for himself, he answered the call miliseconds before it went to voicemail.

Even when they close the blinds and sleep late, Zig somehow manages to always wake up earlier. But it’s pleasant - honeywarm pleasant - as he wakes up to the same, familiar arms wrapped around his bare torso, body slotted against his. And he thinks, oh, how he could get used to this. How he misses this so much, yet would not hesitate to deny it. Zig lays there for another long moment, taking everything in before he turns to face his sleeping ex. His recollections of last night are there, fluttering in his chest. He pulls back to adjust only slightly and the cold air rushes across his lil beer belly before he closes the gap between their bodies and settles comfortably into their shared warmth. He can see the hickeys left on Gio’s neck only hours ago, a musky scent about them. Not a word said last night, nor remembered. And yet, it all feels... right. Right in the midst of all the confusion he’s experienced over the past week. When his ex groans awake, eyes fluttering open nonetheless, Zig offers him a soft half-smile and presses his lips gently to his. “Morning, dipshit” he says. “Well, it’s almost noon, but you get the idea.” A beat. “Last night, though, huh?” @giogreco

Zig wakes up, slowly then altogether as he notices everything is wrong. This is not the room in his shitty ol’ basement bunker of his parent’s house that smells of dirty laundry and cold pizza. No. It either belongs to an anarchist or someone really fuckin’ gay, and the more he groggily looks around it’s more-or-less the latter. Not that Zig detests the sights: it’s actually quite comforting, in a way that he can’t describe. A nice place, he grudgingly admits. Not comforting? The dawning realization that (a.) his hair is cut shorter than he’s used to, (b.) there’s ink on his wrist, and (c.) someone’s arms are wrapped lazily around his. He turns to see -- ffffffffffuck. Zig knows he’s not supposed to get blackout drunk or anything drastic before starting his military service, but at least that is somewhat recuperable. Waking up in bed with the ex, though? He’s not even hangover. He turns to face Gio other and half-gazes, half-looks at his restful expression. When he finally awakes, Zig rolls his eyes. “Oh, sleep in, take your time, please.” It’s not saying much, since he hasn’t moved himself. Still, he can’t help himself to a soft kiss that barely feels like a kiss, more like a peck. “You should be proud of yourself that we got to do it one last time. Fucker.” @giogreco
