Room 402, Early Saturday Morning

[oncourtandstage]

Troy was used to waking up early mornings; he'd gone on enough morning runs for it. Sometimes, he managed to sleep in on Saturday mornings -- but this Saturday morning was a bit different than many of his have been.

He awoke slowly, his arm protectively, possessively, across naked chest; he nuzzled Sky's neck. "Morning," he said, softly.

"Mgendra," Sky mumbled, not stirring. He could remember very few times he'd ever slept this well before, and even fewer times that said good sleep included another warm body holding him close.

Troy laughed and nuzzled a little more forcefully. "Want to go for a run?" he said. "Could be fun. And I imagine you'd like the activity just as much as you needed the sleep yesterday."

"Nrf," said Sky, finally opening his eyes and smiling sleepily. "Once 'm more awake, sure."

[oncourtandstage]

Troy slid his hand a bit down Sky's body. "Sure you're not awake?" he asked, grinning.

[redintraining]

A huge yawn was Sky's response. That and a sleepy kiss, that may have missed Troy's lips but hopeflly made contact on his face somewhere.

"Just give me a minute or three." He then looked down at himself and groaned. "Alright. So one part's awake, but the rest of me is not."

Troy laughed a little more as he got out of the bed. "Okay," he said. "But you're going to miss seeing me walk naked around the room."

[redintraining]

That- made Sky perk up. The rest of him, anyway. He also could feel himself going red as the statement sank in. He stretched his whole frame and sat up, rubbing his eyes.

"Alright, alright. I'm up, I'm up."

The double entendre he'd just uttered was completely lost on him.

Troy was already digging in his closet for running clothes. "Here," he said, tossing some spare clothes to Sky. "So you don't have to go up to your room first."

He chose not to comment on the double entendre. He also wasn't getting dressed quite yet.

"Thanks," said Sky, catching them and sitting up himself, stretching once more. "Man, I feel so refreshed. More than ready to get back to being normal again."

[oncourtandstage]

"I'm glad you're back to normal, too," Troy said, grinning, sitting down the bed, dropping the clothes beside him. "Just... I missed you. A lot." He leaned over to kiss Sky. "... I love you."

[redintraining]

Sky readily kissed back. "I love you, too," he said quietly. "So much. ...I missed you most of all. The most frustrating thing about being a ball of light, above having to miss class, above watching my friends suffering, even above having to explain to everyone I know here who I was... was not being able to touch you. Floating around above your shoulder all day was just maddening."

Sky had ranked Troy above not being able to go to class. This was a big deal.

[oncourtandstage]

Troy leaned in to kiss Sky again, this time drawing it out. "Well," he said, finally, after pulling away just enough to speak. "You can touch me now."

... They'd get to their run.

Eventually.
