A/N: had to finish it off lololol. i can be immature at 12.43AM.
"Get off!" she moaned when Laurie plopped onto the bed beside her and promptly draped half of himself on her.
He made a small offended noise and rolled onto his back, turning his dark head to look at her through squinted eyes. She frowned but brushed his forehead free of his black hair which stuck all too uncomfortably to his skin.
Mine's the same.
He grinned widely and caught her hand before she could use it to brush the thick strands off the back of her own neck. He looked far too happy for someone who was living through the current whether, she decided and glowered at him some more. Or as much as she could do with half her face in the bed sheets.
"Too hot," she said shortly as he smiled some more and huffed what she supposed was a chuckle.
There's nothing funny about that.
It was uncomfortable, sticky, sweaty and entirely gross and she knew what Laurie had in mind would involve all those unpleasant adjectives too.
"Nu-uh."
I'm not even going to bother with speaking properly so what makes you think I'll be bothered with that?
Laurie rolled onto his front and she caught a whiff of him as he hooked a foot around hers at the other end of the bed.
Have you been running in this heat?
There was a raise of his proud brows and she would have boxed him for that look if it hadn't been for the disgusting temperature and the heaviness of her exhausted body. Suddenly she felt a finger run up and down her back and she snapped her dozing eyes back to his incredibly bright ones.
"What if I do all the work?"
Subtle and unconvincing.
"Nu-uh."
But there was a sudden warmth that had nothing to do with the season.
