I wanted cuddly!Neal, so I wrote it. It's super short. Enjoy!
Peter was slowly waking up in the early morning. The light from the newly rising sun bathed the room in a muted gray light, so far as he could tell from behind his eyelids.
He inhaled deeply and shifted around in the sheets. El's arm was thrown over his hip, and when he moved so did she, snuggling closer, wrapping her arm tighter around him.
Peter felt secure with the length of Elizabeth's body pressed against his back. He wrapped his fingers around hers hanging over his stomach, and rubbed his thumb over the soft skin on the back of her hand.
El exhaled and, although her breath was warm, Peter shivered as it tickled the hairs on the back of his neck.
He was starting to make his way back to dreamland when El moved again. This time stretching her legs, then curling them up as much as their close proximity would allow. She forced one of her legs between Peter's, foot resting on foot. He groaned sleepily. "You're feet are cold." he mumbled. She didn't move it, only snuggled closer, nuzzling her nose into his neck.
Her nose was cold too, and her chin was scratchy.
Scratchy?
Suddenly, Peter remembered that he hadn't gone to bed with Elizabeth. In fact, he wasn't even in his own home.
He and El were having some rewiring done and the power to the house was turned off, forcing the couple to vacate until it was turned back on. El went to her mother's and Peter was at-
"Neal? Neal, get off of me." Peter grumbled. Neal only whined and held tighter. Heavy sleeper.
It was Peter's fault they were in the same bed anyway. He had been watching a basketball game. They were neck and neck with only seconds left on the clock, when his team made an impossible shot and scored the winning point. He was so excited that he jumped up and spilled his beer on the couch. He apologized profusely, practically blushing with embarrassment.
He prodded Neal's ribcage with his elbow again. Neal groaned. "What?" he whined with a sleepy drawl. "Get off of me, Caffrey." Neal removed his arm, extracted his leg, and rolled over.
"Neal?" "Hmm?" "No one ever finds out about this."
Can't ya tell how much I know about sports? ;D
