It just felt natural, normal. It didn't seem abnormal, after all, when the two of you were kids you would sleep in the same bed. When the two of you were kids you would hug and cuddle.

Wylan presses a kiss to your cheek, tucking you under his elbow as his eyes meet yours. "We should sleep...we have to wake up early tomorrow, anyways." He chirps, his voice hiding a crackle of exhaustion.
