Aleksi bit his lip, looking at the clock on his phone.

It was much, much too late to be calling surely, why was he even considering it?

However much he had been missing the other man, it wasn't an excuse to call him so late at night.

After all, who cared if he happened to know that Olli was still up, because he should have just gotten off a late shift at the hospital?

What did it matter that he had been missing him all day? That the barista that morning had a small gap in her teeth, making him think solely of Olli's smile, or that he had walked Rilla and overheard a young couple talking as they walked and how their laughter paled in comparison to his sweet laugh, the couple's conversation shallow compared to heir late night conversations on tour buses or in hotel rooms in strange cities.

Even Rilla seemed to know, seeming to look through the apartment for someone that wasn't there.

He couldn't take it anymore, Aleksi grabbed his phone and called Olli, even if it was a two minute chiding over calling so late it would be worth it to hear his voice.

It was answered on the third ring.

“Hello?”

“Hei,” Aleksi said, “I'm surprised that you picked up, being so late.”

“…The only reason why I did pick up was because it’s you.” Olli yawned, “Why are you still awake Ale?”

“Couldn't sleep,” Aleksi said.

“Really?” Olli hummed, “well, it's too bad I'm not there, isn't it? You always slept so well in my arms.”

“Yeah,”Aleksi swallowed against the sudden lump in his throat, “I miss you.”

“I miss you too,” Olli told him quietly, “my transfer is almost here, then I'll be able to be there every night.”

“I can't wait,” Aleksi sighed as he turned off his bedside lamp and laid back in bed, “it'll be so nice to have you here all the time, I'm going crazy here by myself.”

“I know, I promise it's soon.” Olli said, “and I'll visit this weekend.”

“I know,” Aleksi yawned, his eyes were getting heavier by the second, lulled by Olli's voice.

“Go to sleep love,” Olli laughed, “dream of me, we'll see each other soon.”

“I love you,” Aleksi told him, his eyes were already shut.

“I love you too, Ale. So much.”

so these are the plans for the RV lol don't ask how I found them but trust the diagonal positioning of the sink 💀

I imagine them sitting opposite each other in that place labeled "dinette" (bottom right space next to the copilot's seats) trying to keep the other awake because they don't wanna fall asleep over the table (Allu has quite the Experience Working Until Late and doesn't want Olli to suffer as he does each morning when he wakes up in his studio)

they cannot talk because there are two other people sleeping in the sofa bed next to them, so they find another way of communicating, either by using whatsapp or through the notes app on their phones

then Allu takes quite the time to reply, maybe because he's remembering one meme that reminded him of Olli but now he can't find it, so when he looks back at Olli he's already asleep while sitting, with his head resting on his hand and that's a big no for him

so in a moment of 'fuck everything' Allu steps over the table and towards where Olli is, sitting next to him and pulling him into a "comfortable" position (where Allu is sitting with his back against the wall, and a sleepy Olli is sitting between Allu's legs) kinda like this?

Olli, of course, doesn't remember anything the next morning, and suddenly finds himself cuddling with Allu under a blanket 🥰💘💖 his heart is racing because this is one of the things he has been thinking about for a while, but he's afraid of waking up Allu and chooses to enjoy the moment to make it last longer

once they are waken up by their bandmates they don't speak about it, Allu too embarassed because he thinks he crossed a line, and Olli too busy remembering how Allu's hands felt wonderful resting on his tummy and how much he wants this to happen again and again and again

maybe someone in the band volunteers to do the soundcheck for them, just so that they can have a little nap and feel well rested before playing that night's show

Olli drags Allu back into the van, making a beeline for the bedroom, and once they're laying in bed he thanks Allu for keeping him comfortable last night, and apologizes for falling asleep 🥺🥺 Allu says that he would like to sleep next to Olli this time, cuddling again, and who is Olli to deny him such a simple request?

when they wake up, a few hours later, the first thing they see is each other and oops, maybe they realize that they have some Feelings for each other, so it's only natural for them to finally lean into a sweet kiss 💖

(or maybe Aleksi asks for a massage because his back hurts like hell and Olli gives him that and so much more, who knows 😏)
