Sleep

"Having troubles for sleep was something Rogue was used to since he was teenager. He wasn't sure what had happened, but at some point, restless night became usual to him. It wasn't that common to be a real problem in his life but it was annoying anyway. Once or twice every month, he laid on his bed with his eyes open, looking at the ceiling, unable to sleep. The next day, of course, he was irritable and sleepy, and tried to stay away from everyone.
He was used to the pattern, but sadly for him his last restless night was just before a trip he needed to do to a another town. It was a 4 hours trip by bus and by the time he was on his seat, Rogue was pissed and grumpy. And sleepy. Very sleepy. He had the window seat, so he kept himself busy by looking outside and didn't put attention to the person who sit at his side. The bus started to move not so long after, the movement and low rumble of the engine slowly relaxing him. Rogue didn't know when he fell asleep.
However, he totally remembered when he woke up, three and half hours later, very close to his destination and with his head on a stranger's shoulder.
"Did you wake up already?" his seat partner was a blond guy, with blue eyes and a big smile directed to Rogue. He didn't seem bothered by the fact that Rogue had spent probably all the trip sleeping over him and drooled all over his shoulder. Rogue cleaned his cheek, embarrassed.
"Sorry"
"It's okay man! You seemed very tired. And also, you look very cute sleeping, so don't worry, it was funny to see you"
Rogue blinked. Did he just call him cute? Rogue blushed a bit, before turning to look through the window again.
"Don't say that. It's embarrassing"
"I'm just saying the true. But, hey, since I've been your human pillow for so long what if you came to get a coffee with me? Do you have time when we arrive? It would be my treat"
Rogue thought he should say no, but free coffee was free coffee and he was still sleepy.
"I may have a few minutes…"
