Pillow Talk

Noel had to admit that he liked to watch Hope sleep. There was something relaxing about it. Noel gently brushed the hair out of his sleeping boyfriend's eyes. Hope's hair was just as silky as he thought it would be. He never thought that he would see the other man again and now, now he couldn't imagine his life without him.

"What are you doing?" Hope asked sleepily without opening his eyes.

"Enjoying the view," Noel said with a smile.

"But the windows are closed and it's storming outside," Hope said. And as if to prove his point there was a bright flash of lightning and a loud crack of thunder. Hope now had both eyes open and was sitting up. One thing that Noel had learned about Hope was that he wasn't fond of the storms. Even though he tried his hardest to hide that fact. It didn't help that the hum of the generator stopped.

"The generator stopped," Hope said his voice tense.

"It can stay until morning," Noel said quickly not wanting a repeat of what happened the last time. "I'll go and get some candles. I don't think either of us are going to go back to sleep any time soon."

Noel left the warmth of their bed and let out a small yelp when his feet touched the cold floor. Without the generator they wouldn't have heat and the house would become even colder than it already was. He quickly made his to the kitchen and cursed the fact that he kept them in there instead of the bedroom. He also cursed the stupid storm. Because of it Hope had woken up and it ruined the moment.

He lit one of the candles and made his way back to the bedroom. He opened the door and felt his breath catch in his throat. Hope was out of bed and digging through the closet. He was one of the most beautiful people that Noel had ever seen. Every time Noel saw him his heart fluttered. He didn't know how he missed it the first time he met Hope. Maybe he was just too young to appreciate the man standing in front of him. He wasn't about to make that mistake again.

"What are you doing?" Noel asked trying to keep his voice steady but knew that he failed when Hope smirked.

"It's freezing," Hope said as he continued to dig through the closet. "We're going to have to sleep with our shirts on again."

"You were the one that suggested that we sleep without them," Noel thought that he would point out as he lit another candle and placed it on the window ledge.

"That's because we had that heat snap," Hope said with an unreadable look. Noel shook his head. For being so innocent Hope sure could be seductive.

"This one should work," Hope said as he pulled out a long-sleeved purple shirt.

"You do realize that's my shirt," Noel thought that he would point out.

"I know," Hope said with a small smile. "That's why I picked it." Noel shook his head wondering if Hope knew what saying those types of things did to him.

"I have something better than my shirt," Noel said deciding that two could play this game.

"Such as?" Hope asked still holding onto the shirt but had yet to put it on.

"Me," Noel said as he pulled Hope close and the two of them fell on the bed. Noel pulled Hope close so they were facing each other.

"You're right this is much better," Hope said as he snuggled closer. "Never have been a fan of the cold but if it leads to this…"

"You're terrible, do you know that. Are you sure that I'm your first relationship?" Noel asked.

"Mm-hmm," Hope hummed as he began to play with a loose strand of Noel's hair; something the smaller man did fairly often. "Told you that no one was attracted to me before you." Noel shook his head. He couldn't understand how someone could be so naive yet so good at seduction.

"What about you?"

"What about me?" Noel asked not sure if he wanted to have this discussion. Hope rolled his eyes.

"Come on Noel. I'm not an idiot. I know that you saw other people before me," Hope said sounding exasperated.

"A few people," Noel admitted. Jolie, Sandra, and a few others came to mind. Sandra being his first, first and it wasn't much more than that. Neither of them were looking for anything at the time.

Jolie was his longest. It wasn't a serious for either them. They just needed each other at that time. Jolie was getting over the death of his brother and Noel was still trying to get over everything that he had been through. All of his other relationships had been basically meaningless.

Hope though he was different. The other man made him feel things that he never felt before. Things he didn't think he would ever feel. Hope had become the most important person in his life. Noel would do anything for Hope. How did you tell someone something that?

"I'm sorry," Hope said breaking into his thoughts.

"What are you sorry for?" Noel asked as he looked down at the smaller man. The teasing look that he had a moment ago was gone and was replaced with the pensive look that he usually wore.

"You're upset. If it's hard for you to talk about you don't have to," Hope said his eyes shining with sincerity.

"It's not," Noel said as he smiled down at him. "True I have been with other people but it's different with you."

"Different good or different bad?" Hope asked that teasing look slowly returning.

"It's good. Definitely good," Noel said as he kissed the tip of Hope's nose. It was also frightening very frightening but he wasn't about to say that.

"That's good then," Hope said as began to drawn circles on Noels chest with his finger.

"What are…you…ah…doing?" Noel asked. Hope's touches were sending shivers done his spine among other things. Hope shrugged.

"Drawing. So what makes things good different with me?" Hope asked as he continued his administrations.

"You're evil," Noel said finding hard to think and it didn't help that now Hope was placing the occasional kiss on his chest as well.

"So I've been told. Now," Hope kissed his chest. "How," Hope placed a kiss in the hollow of his neck, "Am," one on his Adam's apple, "I", one on his chin, "Different?" one on the lips.

"Everything," Noel rasped no longer able to think clearly. "Everything about you is different in a very good way."

"So does that mean that I can keep your shirt," Hope asked with a smirk.

"You," Noel said as he flipped Hope onto his back, "can have anything you want. All you need to do is ask."

"Anything?" Hope asked looking up at him his eyes full of emotions. They were so close that their noses were almost touching.

"Anything," Noel said as he leaned down and crushed their lips together.
