Elliot Knight, in his dirty tank top and loose sleepwear shorts, stared lovingly at the fast asleep, considerably smaller figure flopped into his larger side. It was late evening in the Hive Five's homely base and they were all settled in their favourite pyjamas, sitting comfortably on the large sofa. Due to the irking fact they had problematic electricity issues in each room other than the living room, they were all forced to sleep there for the entire night together. Together. Initially, the uncomfortable tension grew to such a voluminous extent that even Kyd Wykkyd agreed to Jinx's awkward suggestion of having a sort of sleepover theme. Sheepishly, they had all decided to pull an all nighter. Therefore, Seymour Smith, in his pastel green pyjamas was really not supposed to be asleep, yet was snoozing tranquilly into his taller partner's lissom torso- not that Elliot disliked it. Kyd tenderly slipped off Seemore's useful helmet, eliciting a weak stirr and he leaned down to gently kiss Seymour's forehead. Elliot smiled pleasedly and brought Seemore's limp body closer to his slender chest, blushing profusely as Seymour snuggled closer unconsciously, burying himself into Kyd and the familiar lavender scent. Elliot wrapped his lanky arms around the sleeping boy caringly, feeling Seemore drift off even further. Kyd smiled dreamily.
"Hey, err- are you gonna… wake him?,"Jinx enquired awkwardly,from her furthest position in her black sleepwear.
"No!,"Elliot snarled outragedly, protectively trapping Seymour closer.
"Okay, okay, chill, scary boyfriend!,"Gizmo exclaimed alarmedly, throwing his arms up in his loose, dark green onesie.
Kyd hissed ominously and Mammoth squeaked frightenedly,"You've set him off again!"
Elliot stiffened vexedly, glaring viciously, when abruptly, the small figure stirred awake gently from his lap and chest after all the abrupt commotion. Seemore blinked sleepily and mumbled incoherently, still snuggled up comfortably. Seymour giggled dopily and rested his chin on Kyd's broader shoulders, eliciting Elliot to hug him tighter with an affectionate smile and pretty blush. Seemore felt Kyd's pale hand at the nape of his neck pushing him further closer, which Seymour had no problem with at all of course. Elliot glowered warningly at the others to ensure they wouldn't interrupt and gently kissed Seemore's blushing cheek, making Seymour giggle further. Kyd smiled wider and tenderly squeezed his skinny waist, feeling Seemore rest his own hands on Elliot's narrow face. Kyd smiled knowingly: he had Seymour's undivided attention, when-
"Ow!,"Gizmo squealed painedly, as Jinx slapped him hard over his bald head for whatever reason.
Elliot scowled terribly darkly at the Jinx, Mammoth and Gizmo so that soon they were cowering fearfully behind the large sofa. Seymour shook his head lamentingly and cheekily squished Kyd's pale face lovingly, as he giggled simultaneously. Elliot immediately softened, humming contentedly before Seemore wriggled away, smiling excitedly at where he supposed the rest of the Hive Five were. Kyd scowled disappointedly and tightly held Seymour to him still anyway.
"We should do something fun!,"Seemore chirped eagerly.
"Why not truth or dare?,"Jinx suggested keenly.
"What? No! That is a stupid game. I can't believe you would suggest that. I literally know twenty ways to kill you just by sitting here, Jinx, you want me to show you?,"Elliot snarled accusingly, leering ferociously as he tensed his lean muscles threateningly.
"W-wh-what?,"She stammered fearfully.
"Yes. I can-,"he growled menacingly.
However, Seymour abruptly pulled Kyd into a tender kiss by his dishevelled tank top, eliciting Elliot to completely forget his initial threat and return it pleasedly, closing his amber eyes relaxedly. Eventually, Seemore pulled away reluctantly with an amused grin, swiftly groping for his useful helmet and slipping it on rapidly to see a blushing, dazed Kyd Wykkyd, who was fighting the vehement urge to kiss him again. Seymour beamed excitedly at the others, though blushing profusely as Elliot squeezed Seemore's skinny waist, fingers curling around him tightly from behind. Seemore shook his head dismissively.
"Okay, what about 'would you rather'?,"he offered brightly, continuing after non-committed nods,"Jinx, would you rather eat hawaiin pizza or eat vegetarian sausages?"
"What? You know I despise both!,"she huffed indignantly.
"Exactly,"he sniggered amusedly.
"Fine! The pizza! What about you?,"Jinx snapped sharply.
"I- err- oh,"Seymour trailed off, blushing abashedly.
"Love, I- I can't really focus if you're… oh, errr,"he tried again. Drifting off yet again.
Kyd had scooted up closer and had nuzzled his pale face affectionately into the crook of his neck. He was squeezing Seemore tightly from behind, his lanky arms ensnaring him across his small torso and occasionally fondly leaning forwards to kiss Seymour's profusely blushing cheek. It was hard to… focus. Seemore attempted to gently pull away, but Elliot held him even tighter stubbornly, before literally humiliatingly picking him up in bridal style and tenderly cradling him like a mere child. Seymour turned beet red at the staring teammates fidgeting uncomfortably. Kyd swiftly noticed.
"What is it? Do you have a problem? Cos I can assure I can give you more,"Elliot snarled frighteningly with a malevolent leer, eliciting Jinx, Mammoth and Gizmo to tremble fearfully and blanch considerably.
"N-no!,"Gizmo squealed hysterically, shivering as Kyd grinned maliciously.
"Good! Lucky for you I'm kinda occupied right now, or I'd gladly impale you,"Elliot growled malevolently, before switching back to Seymour with a soft, loving tone,"I'd make sure you didn't see, honey, you are too precious for this world."
The Hive Five all delved into very, very confused silence. Except for Seemore, who instead smiled affectionately, hunching closer. Seymour, as always, found Kyd drifting him off to sleep with his reliable, soothingly rhythmic movements. Seemore sometimes wished Elliot wasn't as good at this than he was. Kyd smiled fondly as Seymour gradually fell asleep in his pale arms, merely ignoring the awkward silence as he continued to cradle his smaller boyfriend gently. Elliot gazed intently when Jinx cleared her throat awkwardly.
"Hey, errr, Wykkyd. Can i… ask you something?,"Mammoth grunted warily afterwards.
"Make it fast,"Kyd spat hostilely.
"O-oh, okay. Well, you know how Seemore always got hurt? He went somewhere. Did you do….that to him? You seem that sorta person… to hurt… See like that,"Gizmo requested nervously, yet also frightenedly.
Elliot froze. He went so pale, his already ghostly white complexion became translucent. The usual rising and falling of his lissom chest impeded immediately and his amber eyes widened almost impossibly wide. He scarcely managed a small shake of the head before choking and jolting away panickedly. Seemore awoke abruptly again, and instantly groped on his useful helmet, looking around confusedly at his mystified, alarmed teammates. And no Elliot Knight! Seymour spun around urgently, already feeling awfully cold without Kyd Wykkyd enveloping him in a tight hug as always.
"Where is he?,"he cried pleadingly.
"He-he freaked out when we asked if he had beaten you up all those times. He just ran out,"Jinx explained awkwardly.
Why were those two so complicated?
Seemore dampened knowingly and darted out desperately, only having to run for a mere few minutes as his taller boyfriend came into view. Kyd had crumpled to the hard floor, looking truly haunted- Seymour gasped concernedly. Immediately, he raced over.
"I know what you're thinking, love,"Seemore sighed anxiously, sitting besides Elliot and tenderly caressing his narrow face,"You never hurt me by letting me stay in the Hive Five."
"I did though,"Kyd stammered tearfully, as he turned around dolefully,"I hurt you, honey, I hurt you. Private would never have gotten his stupid hands on you if I had protected you properly. But I just let you go…"
Seymour softened immensely, cupping his larger partner's pale face in his own small hands and whispered lovingly,"No… Honey, I love you. You love me. You loved me too much to go against me like that, love. You are so special, wonderful and so, so, so much more."
Elliot's dolorous tears fell from his amber eyes as he released a hitched breath and pulled Seemore into an appreciative kiss. Seymour scooted closer with his large eye closed entirely, feeling Kyd wrap his lanky arms around Seemore and placing his own hands on Elliot's slender chest. Kyd felt all of his edgy tension disperse and thought instead of his smaller boyfriend- him only. Elliot pulled away for a seconds ragged breath before Seymour pulled him back to his own lips.
A menacing electrical sizzling noise emitted from over their heads. They still didn't even pull out of it then too, instead Kyd teleported them back into the safe living room, where they uncaringly continued their pleasant kiss, regardless of the hushed, awkward whispers.
By late at night, Jinx, Mammoth and Gizmo were wide awake-
Just as Seymour Smith and Elliot Knight were nestling together, hugging, under a thick duvet, both fast asleep.
Truthfully, they didn't know if it was awkward or sweet.
Perhaps both.
