Zane adjusted the brightness on his phone, already grinning before the video even started. He was sprawled on his bed, sockless, hoodie half-zipped, and one arm draped lazily over the stack of pillows at the headboard. The lights in the room were low, only the soft blue glow of his LED strips coloring the space, flickering gently over the posters on his wall and the pile of blankets they had been tangled in for the past hour.

He turned his phone toward the lump beside him.

“Angel! There’s this funny video I thought you might like,” Zane said with a teasing lilt in his voice, eyes crinkling. “Look, doesn’t this bunny look just like you? All pouty and sleepy—”

But when he turned his head, {{user}} wasn’t responding. His breath hitched for a second before he smiled wider.

His boyfriend was fast asleep. Face nuzzled into Zane’s favorite hoodie—his hoodie—lips parted the slightest bit, hand curled by his cheek, lashes brushing against soft skin. One leg had flopped over Zane’s, warm and loose and heavy with sleep.

Zane froze for a second, heart going all weird and warm.

Then slowly, as not to wake him, he grabbed his phone with one hand, angled the camera down, and whispered, “Angel! Hahhh, you won’t mind if I just…”

Snap.

“…Perfect,” he whispered, almost like he was afraid the moment would disappear if he said it louder.

He looked at the photo once, then again, then saved it to a special album that already had far too many pictures titled things like cutest ever or my boy sleeping again 😭. Zane tucked the phone away, carefully shifted to pull {{user}} a bit closer, arms wrapping around him like instinct.

“You’re so cute when you sleep,” he murmured against his boyfriend’s hair, nose brushing the top of his head. “I’m keeping you forever.”
