Viktor smiled, his deep red eyes adjusting to the dimly lit room which he shared with the other man next to him. He ran a hand through the messy blond hair belonging to his partner, whose groan was stifled as he turned away from him. The brunet sighed quietly, shifting over towards him and wrapping him into a hug.
"Hey," Ivan muttered, turning back to face Viktor again.
"Hey," the latter replied, the ghost of a smile appearing on his pale face. "You know what, Ivan?"
"Hm?"
"I love you."
The other Russian raised his eyebrows. "Really now? Well, you know what?"
Viktor sighed. "Yes?"
"I love you too," the blond replied indifferently. A long silence stretched between the two, before Ivan broke into a grin. Viktor gave a breathy laugh, before kissing the blond's nose. The blond giggled and returned the gesture.
They spent the rest of the morning together like that, only to be separated forcibly by the raucous beeping of an alarm clock.
