This was written for my sister, 'cause she wanted some early morning Fluri cuddles. This all takes place sometime post-game.


"Yuri," Flynn begins with a slightly scolding tone, "I have a meeting in less than an hour. You have to let me out of bed."

In response, the arm Yuri has slung around Flynn's waist only tenses up even further, successfully keeping Flynn trapped against his body. Flynn can feel the warmth of the other's chest pressed up against his back and is oh-so-tempted to just stay put, but the pros of staying here with Yuri do not outweigh the cons. The trust of the Council and the wellbeing of the rest of the Empire are much more important than his own selfish desires, and Flynn knows that Yuri knows this too, but…

"Just five more minutes, Flynn," Yuri mumbles into the back of Flynn's neck, his breath warm and teasing against the blond's skin. "Five more minutes, and then I'll let you go."

Flynn sighs, because no matter how badly he wants to, he knows he cannot deny his friend even just this one, small moment of intimacy.

"Alright, but only just this once," he finally says, defeated, and feels Yuri's lips curve up into a lazy and victorious smile.

It only takes them a few seconds of flopping around to become a tangled mess of limbs under the blankets, and Flynn doesn't realize he's fallen back asleep again until a half an hour later, when he is woken by the sound of Sodia knocking on his door. He ends up not being able to eat breakfast in order to make it to the meeting on time, and when he catches sight of his reflection as he passes by a particularly well-cleaned window, he just about screams at how unkempt his uniform looks.

Yuri, Flynn decides as he pushes open the doors to the meeting room, will not be staying with him again tonight.
