An Evening.
Nathan has this uncanny ability to fall asleep at will. One minute, he’ll be wide awake; the next, out like a light. That simile has never been more appropriate.
Right now, he’s leaning up against Ekion, and I can see the considering look in his eyes. Nathan gets this funny little look when he’s contemplating sleep; it’s the only warning he gives, really.
Ekion shifts slightly as Nathan slumps against him. Gently, he pulls Nathan around until he’s in a more comfortable position. Ekion starts to curl up around his lover; it’s almost instinct on his part.
I sigh. They’re both going to be stiff in the morning. That couch is far from comfortable.
Ekion hears me, and blinks vaguely in my direction. I stifle a giggle; Ekion sends an unfocused glare my way and drifts off into sleep himself. I wait and watch for a moment longer, then leave for bed myself.
Mother was right – Ekion and my brother really are good for each other.
