Hey guys and gals! Another short one from me, hope you enjoy it as much as Nicky does! XD

I do not own Avenue Q or the fantastic characters within it, this is fan-made and fan-read =3

On with the show!

*curtains part*

Close

How come their beds had to be so damn CLOSE to one another? Rod shifted in his bed, back to his sleeping roommate. The two single beds were almost touching and Rod could hear every breath Nicky made in the quiet of the cool September night.

With a soft sigh he turned over, watching the younger green man as he slept peacefully, arms around a teddy Rod had picked up for him at the store a few weeks before. Internally he wished that it were him and not the stuffed animal under his best friend's arm.

Nicky turned quietly, facing his now blushing friend. He was sucking gently on his thumb. To anyone else this would have been cute but to Rod, the whole thing was driving him crazy. He looked around for something, anything, to distract him but the sight and sound of the sucking made him grow hot and flustered. Eventually giving up, he turned over again and tried to sleep but as soon as his head touched the pillow he heard Nicky shift and moan a single, sensual word,

"Rod…"

The blush deepened,

"Nicky?" he questioned without turning over,

"Are you awake?"

There was another moan but no reply. Leaping out of bed, Rod rushed for the door, redder than he thought his blue complexion would allow and turned to look at Nicky before he left. When he moaned again Rod was rushing down the hall and out the front door, urgently needing a sudden rush of cold New York air.

As he left, a smile crept across his green friend's face,

"Gets him every time," he said, chuckling, before pulling the bear in his arms closer and settling down to sleep.
