open to pirate arrrrrrrr [he's probably glaring rn]
Vance hated when Pirate had to work late into the night. He was a little more than spoiled by the other wolf's warmth when he'd crawl into bed at night, and having to go to bed without his mate was disappointing. It wasn't even about sex - it wasn't as if they had sex every single night, it was just about the comfort of having Pirate there.

School had started back up, and Vance was now into his sophomore year. He was about to be sixteen now and it was strange to think that he'd known Pirate for nearly an entire year now. He'd been through a hell of a lot for a boy his age, wolf or not, and sometimes he still had nightmares about being kidnapped and especially about Kenneth. He never let on about them, though, because he felt a little silly. It'd been over six months ago, hadn't it? Sometimes he couldn't remember. Usually when he wokeup from a dream, he just snuggled against Pirate and went back to sleep.

Tonight, though, Pirate wasn't there to snuggle up to and even if he was Vance was in the middle of a dream instead of waking up from it. His entire body was stiff, posture not at all natural for one who was sleeping, and every now and then he'd mutter or whimper about something in his sleep.

When Pirate's hand slipped through his hair, Vance tipped his head to the side and brushed his mouth against the inside of his mate's wrist. He opened his eyes and looked up at Pirate, knowing the sun would be up soon and he would have to get ready for school. He curled up against Pirate a little more with a heavy sigh.

"My head hurts," he said softly. "I just want to sleep in with you."

	"I'll bet Hunter would call in for you if you wanted to stay home for a day. You can't possibly have any tests this early on." And he knew Vance wasn't the sort of person who was going to skip school if he could avoid it. He laid Vance down and rubbed his forehead for a little while, trying to soothe him as best he could. "Maybe a shower will help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vance closed his eyes again and relaxed against Pirate as he felt his head being rubbed. After a moment, he opened them back up before he wriggled so that he could settle on top of the other wolf. "Are you suggesting I shower alone or with you?" he asked with a slow smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pirate raised an eyebrow. "Well, I wasn't suggesting one over the other. Are you offering me an invitation to your shower?" He was exhausted, but he had no intention of going to sleep until Vance was off to school or had decided to stay home and sleep with him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I dunno, you're warm and comfy," Vance said as he dipped his head down so that he could brush a kiss against the front of Pirate's chest. "Lets sleep in and worry about showering later," he added, because all he wanted to do was fall asleep next to Pirate since he hadn't been able to for the past few days.

	As much as a naked, wet Vance was tempting, Pirate's body was thrilled with the prospect of drifitng off to sleep holding on to Vance. "I love you," he murmured, eyelids feeling incredibly heavy now that he knew Vance was going to lie with him. "Sleep is never right without you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm used to much more unpleasant sleeping conditions at work," he assured Vance. Catching naps in the backs of ambulances made a bed quite a priviledge. Even better to have Vance in it, the smell of him so close. This was a good place and he hoped Vance wasn't faking it just to make him not worry about his nightmares. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I guess you're more of a wolf pillow, huh?" Vance asked after a moment with a sleepy little smile as his fingertips trailed up and down along the side of Pirate's ribs. He was quiet for a moment before he sighed, "I promise I'll wake you next time. If I have a dream like that again and you're here. And if you're not, then I'll tell you about it, okay?"

	That was exactly the sort of thing Pirate wanted to hear. He didn't want Vance keeping those things from him. "Good, because that's what mates do. It means neither one of us ever has to deal with something on our own again." And he was serious about that; they were a pair now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vance smiled sleepily as he went to grab a glass out of the cupboard, and once he'd poured himself some orange juice, he had a seat at the table. "He's exhausted, I won't be surprised if he sleeps until 3," Vance replied before he took a little sip. "I'll probably crawl back in bed with him," he added fondly. "It smells good in here."

	Vance shook his head a little bit and he reached out to lace his fingers up with Pirate's. Vance was sure that he'd never fully understand Pirate and Sterling's interactions, and that was fine. "Just you and me," he said softly with a little smile. If Sterling came out later on, then that was fine, but he appreciated the head start that Louisa had given them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
