The brunettes delicate lids fluttered open, hazy vision trying to clear in the early hour.
He glanced toward the fluorescent red bars clicking into shapes on the dark screening of the clock. 4 : 15 it read. It really was early. With his usualy wake up time at least and hour and a half later, Rolo was convinced the time was the reason he felt so sluggish. Then he spotted something else.
'PM...' His lips whispered silently.
Ok. Maybe it wasn't the time.
He suddenly felt heavy and immobilized. Like something was forcing him down to the bed. It was only due to his sleepy state that he hadn't realized it sooner- the secure, sentimental, snug arms locked around his waist.
His dear brother, Lelouch, was in the bed as well.
Rolo smiled to himself as his dazed memory returned.
They had passed out after studying half off the night. Good thing it was the weekend. So they didn't have to be anywhere- or rather, they didn't miss anything.
Rolo sat up quietly, slowly, eying Lelouch to ensure he hadn't stirred the sleeping boy.
As he stood up and grabbed his things, not much, just a book or two, he shuffled silently to the door and outside.
As he began to close it, he paused.
Rolo set his books down gently and re-entered the room. He approached the bed, leaning over Lelouch and placing a small kiss on his forehead. It was quick, and Lelouch didn't react. ''He must still be sleepy...''
Rolo rose, looking at the Britannian beauty, and lowered himself once more, placing a gentle peck on the boys lips.
It wasn't swift, but slow. The younger boy took his sweet time parting from the princes soft lips. Once he pulled away, he shuffled back to the door, pulling it behind him and speaking in a light voice.
"Thank you Nii-san..."
Upon closing the door, Rolos face exploded into a rose tinged fit as he covered his mouth hastily. He looked at the shut door and grabbed his books, scurrying down the hallway as quickly as he could, the smooth velvet voice still making his heart race.
'Get some rest Rolo."
He didn't know he was awake.
