TEGAN POV

I washed our plates and sat down on the couch really close to Sara.

"You smell like bleach," She scooted away from me

"Oh, thanks. I'm going to go hop in the shower then."

"Kay,"

I grabbed a towel from my small closet in the hallway, realizing that I didn't have much left. 'bout time I do some laundry, I walked into my bathroom , the smell of bleach smacking me in the face and filled my nostrils. That's another reason I hate cleaning. I turned on the shower, hoping the steam would take away the stench of bleach. It didn't, in fact, it worsened it, but I still took my time in the shower to make sure I got really clean. When I got out, Sara fell asleep on the couch. I walked up to her, the glare of the TV was flickering across her skin as I nudged her and woke her up.

"C'mon, let's go to bed." I grabbed her hand and pulled her up, walking her to my bedroom

I climbed into bed, Sara following suit and laid across from me, each facing each other. She gave me a tired gummy smile and snuggled her face into my blankets

"You're bed feels like a cloud, so comfy." Her voice was muffled by the pillow that her face was in.

"Damn right it's comfy, I spent almost a whole tour's worth paycheck on this thing." I said, scooting closer to her, attempting to cuddle.

"Tee,"

"Yeah?" I asked, knowing that she was going to object to my cuddling.

"You know I like my space while I sleep," She responded

"Ughhhhhh, you suck." I groaned, scooting away. I turned off the light and slept at the end of the bed, back turned to her.

"Tee?"

I didn't respond

"Tegan"

I still didn't respond

"C'mon don't be like this; you know I need my space."

"I'm not being like anything; I'm just tryin' to sleep here."

"Okay, 'night"

The room went silent for a while, and I drifted off to sleep.

4AM

I woke up with a jolt, I had one of those dreams where I was falling, and just when my body was going to smack and collide with the pavement, I woke up. It was still dark out, so I assumed it was the middle of the night. I looked over at Sara; she was still sleeping, sprawled out with her limbs tossed carelessly around her body. I scooted closer to her, and placed my head on top of her stomach; breaking the no cuddling rule. She stirred in her sleep, my body froze, thinking she would wake up and push me off, but instead she placed a hand on top of my head, and the other on my back. I knew I wasn't going to go back to sleep, I was wide awake. So I spent my time enjoying this rare moment that I get with Sara, happy that I'm doing exactly what I've spent most of my life longing, desiring to do.

SARA POV

My eyes opened when the room brightened itself with sunshine. I looked over to Tegans side of the bed and found that she wasn't there. I looked down, and saw her scrunched up into the side of my waist, obviously breaking the 'I need my space' rule. I chuckled at how funny and small she looked. I had the overwhelming need to go to the bathroom, so I did. When I was done, I ran back into Tegan's room and jumped onto the bed. Tegan stirred.

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"

"errrrr no." She grumbled.

"C'mon Tee," I said, snuggled up to her face, repeatedly kissing her cheek quickly.

She groaned, trying to break away from my kisses.

"Oh, so now you don't want to cuddle?"

"I want to sleep."

"You don't need to sleep.''

"But sleep is good," She said, finally sitting up.

"What time is it?" She asked

I grabbed my phone that was on the nightstand.

"9:48"

She got up, and walked out of the room, I followed.

"So what are you going to do today?" I asked

She opened up her fridge, then her pantry.

"Well, we need to go grocery shopping. All I have is cheese and cheap wine. Then, Mum wants to see us, so we'll take the bus to her house."

"Okay, I love grocery shopping. When do we want to go?"

"We'll go as soon as you're ready."

"Alright, I'm going to take a quick shower, though."
