Neil is sitting on his bed one afternoon, going over his A Midsummer Night's Dream script, mouthing his lines when the script is ripped out of his hands and thrown of the floor.
"Hey…!" Neil chides as Todd flops down onto the bed and latches himself to Neil's side.
"What?" Todd asks tersely.
"I was reading that! Memorizing lines!"
"Not important right now." Todd says, tightening his arms around Neil.
"Hey…what's up?" Neil asks, concerned now.
"Nothing really, I just…need some physical contact I guess."
"Oh, okay." Neil says, wrapping his arms around Todd and pulling him close.
Todd sighs, relaxes, lets his body melt into Neil's.
"This is nice, really nice." Todd yawns.
"Yeah, yeah it is." Neil murmurs, feeling himself becoming overwhelmed with a lethargic sleepiness.
Neither of them are really sure how it happens, but sometime later they both come back to their senses, lying flat now instead of propped up against the headboard like they had been. At least half of Todd's body is draped over Neil's, their legs entwined, Todd's head on Neil's chest.
"How long have we been out?" Neil asks, wondering how he could have fallen asleep so quickly when he hadn't been the slightest bit tired.
"Um…forty-five minutes maybe?" Todd says, checking his watch.
"Only that long? I feel like I just got a full night's sleep."
"I know, so do I."
"You get what you needed though?" Neil asks.
"Mm-hm." Todd nods, grasping one of Neil's hands with his own and rubbing his thumb along Neil's.
They stay like that, curled up together, for another hour or two, drifting in and out of sleep. Neil picks his script up at one point, when he wakes up and finds Todd still sleeping, but Todd wakes up a couple minutes later and swats the script out of Neil's hand saying, sleepily "no script, just me."
"Whatever you say Todd, whatever you say." Neil whispers back, but Todd appears to have already fallen back asleep. "I love you Todd."
"Love you too Neil." Todd mumbles, snuggling closer into Neil.
Neil smiles, places a kiss on the top of Todd's head, and finds himself slipping into sleep and joining Todd in dreamland.
