Note: Since my peeps over here usually get these last, thought I'd post one that isn't up anywhere else yet. Thanks to everyone who watches me over here, you guys are lovely :)
Lovina had just gone to bed, tossing a sleepy, "Stop fucking snoring," at Antonia before climbing under the covers, when the distinct sound of the door to their dorm being unlocked drew her out of her attempts to sleep.
"Which one of you is that," she mumbled, pulling her blankets up over her head. She'd long since become used to the fact that Romano and Antonio just let themselves into hers and Antonia's room, so as long as one of them answered (and then shut the hell up so she could sleep), she wasn't overly concerned.
She was answered by a body falling into bed next with her and wriggling underneath the covers, despite her attempts to pull them tighter against herself. She finally gave up when she almost fell off the bed in the struggle and the scent of cologne mixed with spicy red wine let her know who the accursed bed stealer was.
"Romano." A groan was her only response. "Go sleep with your girlfriend."
"I am," he slurred.
"Your other one," she countered, shoving at his shoulder. "You'll hog all the covers." She actually had no idea if he would hog all the covers, but her point still stood.
As if reading her mind, Romano muttered, "You don't know that." He shifted against her in the small bed and lazily wrapped an arm around her waist.
"How drunk are you anyway?"
"Antonio went to visit his mom and took both fucking sets of keys." She had to pay close attention to understand what Romano was saying because he was talking into her pillow, but after a moment to process the reply she rolled her eyes.
"That doesn't answer my question. And you're an idiot for letting him leave without making sure he wasn't locking you out."
"Your face is an idiot."
"Your face is an- ugh." Lovina shoved him further to the edge of the bed in an attempt to take back some of the room she'd lost, but Romano still had a grip on her and she just ended up moving with him. "This is my bed. You're the stupid one."
"Antonio's the stupid one."
"That's a given. You're the other stupid one."
Neither of them noticed their background noise had ceased until Antonia yawned and said, "Roma, Lovina, I'm so glad you two are having a cuddle, but I'm trying to sleep."
"We are not."
"Sleep."
"He stole my bed."
"Sleep."
Lovina grumbled and was about to complain to Romano about Antonia's stupid face, but she found he'd been quick to follow orders and was already snoozing beside her. "Fucking hell," she said instead.
"He falls asleep fast," Antonia said. "Night night Lovi."
"I can see that." After a few final shifting movements, Lovina decided that she was as comfortable as she was going to get in the tiny bed and let out a soft, "Night, Antonia," before she too fell asleep.
