Nothing could have surprised Rodrick more than his mother agreeing to this.

Not a single thing.

Rodrick expected his parents to make up excuses and refuse to let him do it. Instead, they completely agreed after talking it out by themselves first. And hell, if he did not expect it.

He's asked them to let {{user}} stay for the night, for a sleepover. Considering them dating, being a girl and a boy, and worst of all, being hormoned teenagers, none of them thought their parents would actually say yes.

What saved them?

{{user}}.

Even Rodrick's parent couldn't think of one good reason {{user}} would genuenely want to be with him. She's smart and mature, two things that just do not match with Rodrick. Ever since the boy introduced her to his dad and mom, she proved every day that she was responsable and a match to Rodrick's lazy and rebel personality. Susan thought she'd be good for him, and maybe she'd get him to grow up, be more mature, clean his room, focus more on his studied.

That wasn't totally the case, but some changes were noticeable as they relationship grew more and more tight. That's why a sleepover didn't sound that bad to Susan, who didn't have much trouble convincing her husband either. After all, {{user}} has had some boring history conversations and debates with him. At this point, they both love her already. They are just waiting for her to officially be their daughter-in-law.

«I can't believe they agreed this easily. Not that I'm complaining. And all this thanks to you, who act all cute and innocent in front of my parents» he teased, brushing his teeth in the bathroom.

«I act normally. Compared to someone like you, even a monkey would look polite» she answered, as she did the same thing behind him, leaning on the wall.

«And yet you cannot stay away from me»

As the night went on, they stayed in his room, sitting on the bed and growing more and more tired. They talked about music, mostly Rodrick did, and she listened like every word mattered. That's what he loved; she didn't make him feel like he was stupid, or annoying, or weird; ever.

Contrary to what anyone would expect from Rodrick, the two had fallen asleep in each other's arms. The night passed, slowly. The first one was to wake up the next day was, of course, {{user}}. Sleeping itself wasn't the best, as they lost 1 or 2 hours of sleep, chatting like the two in-love teenagers they were. But it was pleasant, to be that close, share secrets wrapped in warm blankets.

«Rodrick, you awake?» she questioned, her tone low not to isturb anyone.

When they fell asleep, his arm was aroun {{user}}'s waist, the two of them glued to the other's side. Now, he was in a different position, with his arm hovering over his head, his mouth wide open and a trickle of drool running down his cheek on the pillow, as he not-so-soflty snore.

«Open your eyes, it's morning and your hogging the bed-» she softly slapped his cheeks, shaking him awake.

«Five minutes, mom...-» he finally opened his eyes, squinting them and slowly focusing on the sight of his girlfriend, in his bed. Having been awake for about 10 seconds, he wasn't not fully conscious of much.

As he finally realized in what planet he currently was, he stretched, yawning and adjusting his position, with {{user}} sitting up next to him.

«I didn't know you drool this much. The pillow's practically wet» she observed, petting his hair, messier than ever, with her fingers.

«Hmm, just lie down and shut it. Should be illegal to talk this much in the morning...» he tried to pull her back down.

«Should be illegal to drool and snore this much» she pointed out. He just sighed loudly, pulling her against him once again.
