So, I'll begin this by saying that this is a submission for Newsies Forever's slash challenge; yay. That's why it took me a while to put this up; because I wanted it to be within the time constraints of the challenge even though I have had it written for a few days.
b) Sorry I ran with sleeping in so much, but I didn't want to make one of them a drug addict and what in Jadam's name am I supposed to do with board games? XD
Prompt: Sleeping in, medication, board games
-SPACER, SINCE IT WON'T KEEP ANY OF THE ONES I'VE TRIED TO PUT-
Sean yawned and rolled over bumping into something, as he did so he opened his eyes to see his boyfriend lying there. He widened his eyes at the sight and rubbed them just to ensure he was not still in a dreaming state of sleep. Now, to see him lying in the bed was not a surprise; they had been living together for almost a year; but the odd part was to see him in bed at such an hour.
Now, where as Sean could sleep forever if he was allowed to; Tony was always an early riser; according to his mother he always had been. So for Sean to see his boyfriend still in a deep state of unconsciousness at, he checked the clock, 11:47 AM on a Saturday afternoon was quite a shock. He bit his lip in question and felt Tony's pulse; once he was sure he was still alive (yes, that was a valid concern with someone he'd never seen sleep past eight o'clock) and then his forehead for a fever; both coming out as one would generally hope; as a result, he became rather confused.
He sat on the bed for a moment in thought, staring down at the small Italian and ran his fingers through his hair. Eventually he grew bored however, and decided to just wake him up and ask him himself. He proceeded to poke him gently in the side, to no avail, then in the leg, the stomach, the forehead, the cheek, all with the same result; or lack there of. He then gently shook the boy's shoulder and rolled his eyes; apparently in all the time he'd spent waking up after Tony he'd never realized what a heavy sleeper he really was.
He gently said his name quietly as he began to shake with one hand, and poke with the other; his voice getting louder as his shakes got quicker and his pokes got harder. Tony only finally made a motion of consciousness as Spot yelled his name, jabbed him in the stomach, and shook him with all his might.
"Whaaaaaaat?" he whined and looked up at Sean accusingly. Sadly Sean had not thought up to this point and sat back, biting his lip, unsure of what to say, "What? Is there a fire? Are you having a stroke? Can you not make your own breakfast? What?" he asked and sat up, rubbing his eyes at the wide eyed Sean.
"You just…never sleep this late…" he asked, receiving a glare from the other boy.
"So, what you got bored and had to wake me? And the reason I'm sleeping late is because I took my sleeping pills later than usual last night…" He stated with a yawn, his glare still not leaving his boyfriend.
"Sleeping pills? You take sleeping pills?" He asked, wondering how he didn't know such a thing.
"Yeah, I need them with all your kicking and punching in your sleep." He said, a small grin playing on his features.
"Oh…" Sean said and sat back, moving to a more comfortable position on the bed.
"Yeah, oh, and besides, it's your fault I took them late; you're the one who practically mauled me last night…" Tony said and laid back down, a smile coming to Sean's face at the memory.
"Oh yeah…" He grinned.
"Oh yeah…" Tony repeated sarcastically, "Now, I cannot drive or operate machinery for another…" he looked at the clock, "hour and a half, and I would like to use that time to gain my much needed rest, okay?" he said through the pillow, as if talking to a child.
"Okay…" Sean said, "But what am I supposed to do for that time?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
He saw his boyfriend shrug, "I don't know! Visit Jack, watch TV, play a board game…" he stated, throwing out whatever came to mind.
"By myself?" he grinned playfully.
"Yes! I don't care, just let me sleep! I always let you!" he said and Sean nodded, Tony WAS right, he was good about letting Sean sleep. So he got up and walked out the door, closing it behind him and allowing Tony his much needed rest.
