AN: Just a cute little one-shot between Axl and his girlfriend (Laura) who is my original character. Hope you enjoy it.
She sighed as she ran her hand through his curly hair. His eyes were closed, she wasn't sure if he was asleep but he was so cute just lying there that she didn't want to disturb him. Keeping her eyes on the tv she continued watching the movie that he had fallen asleep to. Letting out a loud yawn she decided to snuggle in and let her eyes closed.
Waking up, she noticed that they no were no longer alone, Axl's mom and dad were smiling at them from where they were standing at the other side of the living room, they hadnt noticed that she was awake so she pretended to sleep.
Of course she couldn't help but eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Look at them mike! Don't you remember how we used to be? We should really do that more often. Sometimes I forget what it's like." Frankie said to her husband, voice raising as she forgot the two teenagers were in close range.
Axl groaned as his mothers voice woke him up. He tried to put his arm over his eyes but something was stopping him. Opening his eyes blearily he noticed that Laura was asleep on his arm, although it was now going dead he didn't want to wake her so he manned up and pretended as though it didn't hurt as much as it did.
"Frankie you woke him up!" Mike hissed to his wife, looking apologetically at his son.
"Yeah mom! What are you doing watching us sleep?" Axl demanded.
"Is a mother not allowed to walk into her own house and look at her son and his girlfriend?" Frankie tried to sound innocent but it wasn't really working.
"How long have you been standing there?"
"Not long."
"She was here before I was." Mike dead panned.
"Mike!" Frankie hit him gently in the stomach and glared at him.
"Great, my mom likes to stare at me and my girlfriend sleep. This is fantastic I'm sure you creep into my room and do it under the cover of night so you're not caught!" Axl hissed. Laura stirred in his arms, thinking she had heard enough and didn't want to be in the middle of a family argument. She smiled up at Axl before turning to his parents and pretending she hadn't seen them there.
"Oh Mr and Mrs Heck, I'm sorry. We were watching a movie and must have fallen asleep." She tried to untangle herself from Axl but he held on to her tightly, she could see Frankie practically cooing at the sight and gave up. She laid back, still sat, but much more relaxed knowing Mrs heck wasn't going to shout at the two of them, they were taking up the entire couch so there was nowhere for her and her husband to sit.
Axl on the other hand felt extremely tense that his parents were still there. He lifted his head from where it lay and glared through bleary eyes. Luckily for him, his parents took the hint and headed off for their bedroom. Axl gave up on going back to sleep and shifted his position, sitting them both up properly. Laura gave him a shy smile, his own lips twitching in response.
They had only been going out for a few weeks but this was the first time she had fallen asleep on him, he had stayed up just feeling her run her hands through his hair, loving the way it felt. He was only slightly disappointed when she fell asleep but then he realised he got to see how cute she was. He was constantly aware that she was so much better than him.
She was so shy that it was hard for him to get close to her and it had taken him a while to get the courage to talk to her. She wasn't like the other girls.
She was his.
