Silently, Arlo stared at Nicholas, worry remaining evident as his sensitive hearing detected the heavier breathing. There was a small frown on the hellhound's face as he continued the fret over the unfortunate circumstances that he perhaps created by recklessly throwing the shirts across the room. He merely desired to enjoy the comfort of snuggling into Nicholas' muscular chest but instead generated an entirely new predicament. The whispered apology and the retreat made the frown wider, the criminal blushing when he realized what he did to Nicholas.
[break][break]
Embarrassment was evident in his crush's voice, concern breaching the rest of Arlo's countenance; this situation was his fault... He could have been more responsible and respected the attractive hunter's boundaries, but instead pushed towards invading him for his innocent desires. When Nicholas mentioned sleeping on the rough floor and continued pulling away, Arlo gently reached out to wrap his arms around the man for a few quiet moments. The melting was soothing, the hellhound bringing his lips to Nicholas' ear.
[break][break]
"There is no need to apologize or be embarrassed. How about you go to the washroom? It could make you feel better," Arlo murmured softly. Gently, he kissed Nicholas' cheek. "I will wait here for you... I still want to sleep beside you if that is possible. Also... thank-you for not acting on it, that was really sweet."
[break][break]
The words were code to handle the situation then return back to bed. Slowly, the hellhound released his crush to grant him the opportunity to leave the room. Pangs of guilt made Arlo's stomach ache slightly, the criminal feeling remorse for accidentally placing Nicholas into this embarrassing predicament. Should Nicholas leave the room, Arlo planned to retrieve the shirts to avoid the second occurrence in the evening.

There was a soothing warmth to Arlo as he snuggled into Nicholas' muscular chest, admiring the astounding physical condition of his crush. A moment was spared fantasizing over the concept of persuading the hunter into allowing him to witness the sublime display of his exercise routine; merely imagining the movement of those muscles made Arlo's heart melt. Furthermore, it sparked interesting concepts for dates, even suggesting a possible meet up at the gym to spend time together. A quiet giggle escaped the hellhound's mouth at the thought, the dating opportunities appearing to be endless considering the number of ideas the criminal possessed.
[break][break]
There was a neverending excitement to the idea of Nicholas becoming his boyfriend in the future, especially since the man was currently scoring at the top of the charts compared to Arlo's other dates. The extensive list of dated boys always surprised people, but a large portion searched for naughtier affairs or were nasty gold diggers; alongside a few other special exceptions that the hellhound disliked. Currently, Nicholas was becoming the best with his adorable bashfulness and sweet nature, it was enough to drive Arlo's heart to madness!
[break][break]
Gleefully, the criminal continued snuggling, his smile broadening when Nicholas agreed with him. Another giggled escaped Arlo's mouth before a large yawn returned; sleep still required his attendance. The hellhound tightened his grip around his crush, snuggling into chest until realizing something was off; there was a strange voice insisting it. He pulled away slightly, his eyes looking over his crush before returning his gaze towards Nicholas' face.
[break][break]
"Are you sure you are okay with this?" Arlo inquired, staring up at his crush.
[break][break]
While the hellhound found it difficult to pinpoint it exactly, there were mild tones of excitement in the air. After a few moments, Arlo glanced away, praying his suspicions were incorrect.

While wrapped within Nicholas' arms, Arlo continued snuggling into the man's chest with a broad grin stretching across his face. There were thoughts taken towards his fortune in this situation considering he came into contact with this incredibly attractive man and gained the opportunity to sleep next to him beneath the warm embrace of covers. The hellhound was immersed in Nicholas scent and heat, the close proximity resulting in calmness transcending over him instantly as he continued cuddling. There was a sleepiness that entered Arlo, the short man yawning again, eyes sleepily gazing towards Nicholas as he spoke.
[break][break]
Despite his tiredness, he could narrowly notice the darkening of his crush's cheeks and the stretching of a smile across his lips as he agreed the snuggling was worth the discomfort. Although, the continuation of his speaking suddenly resulted in Nicholas clinging to him, Arlo's eyes widening slightly in surprise as he quietly giggled. Blush immediately painted across the criminal's face at his crush's declaration, a broad grin spreading across his face instantly; he failed to realize it was merely a tease.
[break][break]
"I like that," he murmured, cuddling Nicholas more. "Besides, you are the comfiest person I have snuggled. I love this."
[break][break]
The flirtatious comment was unintentional, but Arlo meant every single word. When Nicholas mentioned falling asleep, the hellhound quietly giggled in response, his snuggling possessing the air of sleepiness as it became weaker. A gentle nod became his answer towards his crush's inquiry, the criminal secreting wishing the evening did not end so quickly; he wanted more time! When the white-haired man pulled away, Arlo pouted, attempting to reach out to cling until he realized the action his crush was taking.
[break][break]
The removal of Nicholas' shirt brought a deep blush to Arlo's face, his eyes managing to notice the impressively muscular condition of his crush's body. Afterwards, the article of clothing was placed between them, the hellhound pouting in response; HE WANTED TO BE PRESSED UP AGAINST NICHOLAS' BARE CHEST! Instead of allowing the shirt to remain between them, Arlo grabbed the shirt and threw it across the room, listening to the muffled sound of it hitting the door.
[break][break]
Without hesitation, Arlo copied his crush, arm's reaching for the edge of his shirt to pull it over his head. The lean condition of his body was revealed, the slender muscles that covered his torso being displayed once the shirt was removed. Afterwards, the criminal replicated the action of throwing the shirt, although, his own in this situation. A satisfied grin touched Arlo's face as he settled himself onto the mattress, pressing himself against Nicholas.
[break][break]
"Much better," he murmured sleepily.
[break][break]
Hastily, Arlo closed the distance, snuggling his cheek into the muscular chest of his crush. Blush remained across the hellhound's face as he wrapped his arms around Nicholas, clinging to the attractive hunter.

Sunlight bathed the world in a luminescent light, dousing the young hellhound's room through the slightly parted curtains. Stuffed animals were piled in the corner, a messy bed containing a portion of the neverending flood of toys within the wealthy teen's room. Innocent was always the first implications, a majority believing the childish boy to never possess a malicious thought; they were incorrect. While the closet stored its share of stuffed toys, the walls brandished an expansive onslaught of weaponry, from small knives to large guns.
[break][break]
Bullets lined the shelves in an uncharacteristically organized manner; his grandfather was strict towards the organization of the teen's weapons. The doors were opened, sliding open to approximately a 10-degree angle to reveal the dangerous collection. Thought touched the hellhound's face, the infamous Arlo Norwood already mulling over the possibilities for a public assassination; naturally, one where he escaped unseen. Occasionally, displaying the threatening status and bravery of the Norwood family assisted in keeping other notorious criminal families in their places; this city's underworld belonged to the Norwoods!
[break][break]
The teen's red eyes glanced over the options, already finding disdain for the requirement of a long distance weapon; meagre pistols were inadequate! A small step was taken through the threshold of the closet, Arlo's hands grasping the usual weapon of choice for these situations. Sniper rifles were high-precision, their scopes allowing to meticulously adjust the aim for the desired outcome. The primary issue was the sheer size of the weapon, although, Arlo was certain he possessed a solution for the issue. A broad grin stretched across his face, the teen placing the weapon onto the appropriate hooks before rolling back the carpet on his floor; he wanted a harder floor precisely for this reasoning.
[break][break]
With a piece of white chalk, Arlo began sketching a circle onto the surface, the white contrasting against the dark, hard floor. Slowly, the criminal continued with meticulous drawing, the centre symbols taking an extensive amount of time before completion; a teleportation hex. With enough focus he could maintain the circle's integrity for two separate trips; especially considering a sniper rifle was smaller than a human being. Should this theory fail, there was always the alternative of phoning home for a second circle to be drawn.
[break][break]
There was a pause as Arlo admired the effort he placed into his teleportation hex before giggling as he joyfully scuttled back towards the closet to fetch the rifle. The initial inspection began, the hellhound making certain the ammunition was loaded and the firearm prepped for its latest public murder. Once the weapon passed the steady scrutinization, Arlo carefully placed it into the centre of the circle, grinning gleefully. He prayed his grandpa would be pleased with his latest work in sparking fear in the hearts of citizens and criminals from the assassination.
[break][break]
There was a child-like skip to the teen's step as he hurried out his door with merely a piece of chalk. The criminal took a brief venture into the kitchen, fetching a baggie from the pantry. The white chalk was thrown into the plastic bag, the top zipped together before the hellhound shoved it into his jean pocket. Should there be the residue of chalk near where he sniped from and within his pockets, it could result in some unfortunate suspicion.
[break][break]
While a majority would believe the criminal would flee the scene, Arlo had an alternative plan. Accessing the use of his teleportation hex would definitely be the smarter alternative, but the hellhound needed his presence known to the crime families in the area. The reports that filed in about his presence in the coastal area around the death of a high-ranking official in another family circle of criminals were significant. They were the living proof of his capabilities alongside the Norwoods' immense courage to eliminate an important target despite the intense public presence.
[break][break]
There were hours featured around discussing the possibilities with his grandpa, but ultimately Arlo decided that a public murder followed by an on-foot escape would spark fright. Gradually, the criminal weaved his way through the Norwood Manor hallways before exiting through the front door and providing the guards with a small nod. He walked through the large wrought iron gates, the hinges squealing while they slowly opened, almost as intending to make his exit dramatically slow.
[break][break]
----- ★ -----
[break][break]
The walk towards the coastal area was extensive, but years of intense physical training allowed for a smooth venture. There was a casual aspect to Arlo's appearance being displayed in the simple white t-shirt and jeans that covered his body. The hellhound's black hair was tidy, some effort being placed into it to allow him to immerse himself in the crowd. While he continued weaving the sidewalks towards his planned sniper perch, the boy casually scrolled through his phone at the essay long text messages of information provided about his target.
[break][break]
The information provided was immensely detailed, explaining the coastal area being a common place for the high-ranking miscreant to disguise himself in the crowd of citizens. There were suspicions about the target believing the coastal area to be safe during the daylight considering the constant flood of tourists filtering through the area at a constant. The man himself was a fallen angel, an oddly fitting species for those involved extensively in illegal activity.
[break][break]
There was information being relayed about the target's capabilities with his minor light and darkness manipulation, making him a formidable foe among the ranks of the underworld. A broad grin stretched across Arlo's lips as he continued reading, his eyes occasionally sparing a moment to monitor his surroundings. This situation appeared like something a sniper rifle could accomplish, easily disposing of the nuisance. Slowly, the hellhound inched away from the main group of travellers, separating himself before casually turning into a nearby alleyway.
[break][break]
The phone was lifted towards his ear, the young teen faking a conversation with his parents to avoid suspicion; he was merely an innocent suspicion avoiding eavesdropping or blocking his fellow citizens. Constantly, Arlo's eyes flitted towards the mouth of the alley, watching the people passing through with mute curiosity towards the hellhound. Once the crowd thinned in his general vicinity, the phone was lowered and he slipped through the steel door of a warehouse.
[break][break]
An extensive breath was released from Arlo's lungs after entering the safety of the old warehouse. Despite years of being on the market, the warehouse never received a new owner considering the bad reputation it possessed for gang activity. Fortunately, most gang missions occurred during the evening hours; according to the Norwood spy who gathered and provided information about the general area. Inside the warehouse were numerous old tables, each stained from the various consumables of the aforementioned gang within the area.
[break][break]
Couches and old mattresses were settled on the concrete ground, suggesting that the community neglected the location for its poor reputation. The hellhound sniffed the air, smelling the thick scents of alcohol and sweat, but a complete lacking of people. With a grin on his face, Arlo skipped through the warehouse, heading upstairs to a small perch with a harder floor. Presumably, it was the supervisor's quarters, some of the old equipment for the intercom being left to decay inside the tiny room.
[break][break]
From the depths of his pocket, grabbing the plastic bag holding his precious chalk. The chalk was promptly fetched, drawing a similar circle to the one featured inside his room. Afterwards, the hellhound stood at the foot of the hex circle and focused, summoning the sniper rifle. The chalk glowed faintly, the glow disappearing once the rifle appeared inside of the teleportation hex. The criminal grinned maliciously as he noticed the sniper rifle carefully placed in the chalk circle that remained from his intense focus.
[break][break]
Hastily, he procured the gun from the floor, crouching to face the window that gave him a clear view of the expansive crowd. The firearm itself was nestled in his arms, Arlo looking through the scope while he scrutinized the crowd for the correct face. There was a pause, the hellhound's eyes widening when he set his sights on the target of the afternoon. A breath was sucked into his lungs, the predator patiently waiting until his target ceased movement to converse with another individual.
[break][break]
There was an extensive release of the held air, the hitman aiming as he slowly squeezed the trigger. Suddenly, the loud bang of metal and fire escaped the muzzle of the gun while the bullet was launched. With frightening precision, the shot hit the man squarely in the head, instantly killing him. Hysteria started outside, Arlo moving speedily to clean up the entire mess of his sniper perch. The firearm was placed into the hex circle, the chalk being placed beside it before the hellhound focused, the circle lighting again. Within moments, the items disappeared, leaving a clean floor that lacked the white residue of chalk. There was no hesitation as the hellhound continued, moving hastily through the warehouse and slipping out the door to gradually weave his way back into the wild behaviour of the crowd.
[break][break]
The short teen feigned confusion fear as the various bodies of his fellow citizens bumped into him, his small frame assisting to maintain the look of a struggling civilian. While this worked excellently to confirm his "innocence", the hellhound still desired to hastily escape the clutter of the scene; perhaps the teleportation hex should have been the escape method. Currently, Arlo found himself struggling to weave through the fray of bodies, making his progress to escape slow. Concern began cracking through the criminal's face; he needed out.

Spending time within the affectionate embrace of Nicholas' arms was pure bliss to Arlo as he snuggled against his favourite crush. There was extreme comfort found in the close proximity, even melting against his crush while a sigh a pleasure escaped his throat. The hellhound continued snuggling the incredible man, burying his face into his chest and smelling the aroma of Nicholas; the scent was everywhere! This entire situation was a divine blessing that he was fortunate enough to receive as he derived joy from being around the white-haired hunter.
[break][break]
Slowly, Arlo shifted within the muscular arms to stare up at Nicholas' reddened face. A softness touched the criminal's face as he witnessed the blush and got mesmerized by those amazing duel-coloured eyes his crush possessed. Merely viewing the man's face resulted in Arlo relaxing within his muscular arms as he gleefully grinned. When Nicholas agreed about the comfort discovered in the close proximity, the smile broadened slightly.
[break][break]
"See? Worth the discomfort, right?" There was a pause before Arlo continued. "You know... I always feel comfier sleeping next to someone when I stay somewhere new... so thanks again."
[break][break]
The snuggling continued, Arlo returning the affection that his crush was currently pouring on him cheerfully. While he continued cuddling his incredible Nicholas, weariness began to gradual claim the hellhound. The warmth and comfort were addicting and something that slowly lulled the criminal to sleep. Muscular arms wrapped around him and cozy covers, the entire situation was relaxing. He glanced up at Nicholas again, answering his question with a small yawn that displayed his tiredness. A sleepy grin touched the criminal's grin as his half-lidded eyes continued looking at Nicholas.
[break][break]
"A little... Is it bedtime already?" The inquiry was punctuated by another yawn.
[break][break]
The hellhound provided sleepy snuggles after his question, his eyes closed as he fought sleep to continue snuggling the adorable man who laid next to him. This evening was going to be wonderful.

Concern continued to swirl around Arlo's head as he remained still within the soft embrace of blankets. While his desires to slumber beside his crush remained high, but the apparent discomfort generated a nervousness towards his actions. There was fear that Nicholas would be pushed away with the hellhound's clingy antics. The short man stared at Nicholas, disappointment touching his expression; certainly, he would be required to leave the bed, right? A sigh escaped Arlo's lips as he began inching back, only ceasing when he felt the gentle touch of arms wrapping around him. Suddenly, the distance closing immediately as he was pulled into a hug.
[break][break]
Carefully, Arlo's hand splayed against Nicholas' chest as he gazed up at his face with surprise in his wide, red eyes. The whispers brought a deep blush to the hellhound's face, the red tint stretching across his cheeks and the bridge of his nose. A wide grin stretched across his face, his heart beating rapidly as he snuggled into Nicholas' chest. The criminal closed his eyes, immersing himself in the wonderful feeling of being in close proximity to his crush.
[break][break]
"... Thank-you, Nic," he murmured softly.
[break][break]
Blush remained vivid on Arlo's face, his heart beating rapidly while he continued snuggling into Nicholas' chest. Muscular arms wrapped around him while snuggling beneath the covers was enjoyable to the hellhound. There was the pleasant natural scent of Nicholas, soothing the criminal as he revelled in the wonderful embrace. While he remained wrapped within the white-haired man's arms, a sigh of pleasure escaping his lips.
[break][break]
"This is so comfy," Arlo whispered, grinning.
[break][break]
There was immense happiness in snuggling Nicholas, the hellhound finding bliss in being extremely close. The criminal felt cozy inside the hug, Arlo slowly wrapping his arms to return the embrace. Currently, the hunter was transforming into the champion of conquering his heart with the adorable bashfulness, yet, the willingness to reach beyond his comfort zone. Tiredness began settling in as the hellhound remained in Nicholas' arms, discovering immense comfort. There seemed to be nothing better than spending this wonderful evening with Nicholas.

Once the sweater was removed, Arlo carefully placed it on the floor beside the bedstand; his backpack had been forgotten in the living room. Fetching his knapsack was impossible considering he desired to be around Nicholas immediately instead of hastily grabbing the bag to merely toss his sweater inside; besides leaving the sweater behind on accident would extend the amount of time spent with his adorable crush. A grin remained plastered onto the hellhound's face as he carefully adjusted the white, loose-fitting t-shirt comfortably around his small frame. Afterwards, he glanced behind him, narrowly noticing the blush that tinted Nicholas' cheeks. The adorable sighting of the white-haired man becoming flustering broadened the grin on Arlo's face as his red eyes stared. A soft, cheerful giggle escaped the criminal's mouth as he spent an extensive amount of time watching the attractive male. When Nicholas began closing the distance between the bed, Arlo happily observed his crush lift the covers and lay on his side.
[break][break]
Afterwards, the hellhound approached the bed, his eyes joyfully glancing across the ocean of warm covers before grabbing a corner. The blanket was pulled upwards as Arlo smoothly settled into the bed, reclining on his back before turning to face Nicholas with an enormous grin on his face.
[break][break]
"Aren't you excited for the snuggles?" Arlo inquired, excitement on his voice.
[break][break]
Hastily, the criminal closed the distance between himself and his attractive crush. Sharing the bed this evening was definitely going to linger in the hellhound's mind for months. The opportunity to be in close proximity to Nicholas while they slept was already causing Arlo's heart to wildly fluttered. Constantly, his heart was pounding against his ribcage because of the thrilling situation of slumbering next to his crush. As the hellhound closed the distance, his delicate sense of hearing noticed the irregular breathing of his partner. Concern touched his red eyes as he glanced towards Nicholas' face, the criminal continuing to close the distance.
[break][break]
"Nic... If you get too uncomfortable, tell me, okay? I can go sleep on the couch if that makes you feel better," Arlo stated quietly.
[break][break]
While Arlo craved an extensive period of time snuggling Nicholas, he wanted to avoid making the handsome man uncomfortable. Losing the opportunity to date his crush would shatter the hellhound, thus the short man wanted to assure himself that the attractive hunter was comfortable with the situation. The sublime appearance of Nicholas accompanied by his sweet personality were characteristics that resulted in Arlo's intense affection towards this spectacular individual; losing him would be heart breaking.
[attr="class","kingsLyrics"]and bury them with a smile
There was a glimmer of hope in Arlo's ruby eyes as he stared at Nicholas, pleading for the opportunity to sleep beside his crush. The hellhound kept a tight grip on his crush's cell phone, praying that enough incentive had been provided. While the short man wanted to avoid making Nicholas uncomfortable, his craving for close proximity was intense. There was the repeating of the word please in his mind. The staring continued, Arlo impatiently bouncing on his feet while he waited for an answer. When the sigh of defeat escaped his crush's lips and he rose from the couch, informing him of the direction of the bedroom, Arlo's smiled broadly. In excitement, the hellhound began jumping up and down, giggling before rushing after Nicholas, content with the sleeping situation that had been created in a matter of moments.
"Thank-you! Thank-you!" He chanted happily while he followed.
Gleefully, he followed the attractive white-haired man, stopping at the threshold to his bedroom. Immediately, Arlo glanced through the door, taking a quick peek of the sleeping quarters. A wide grin stretched across his lips, the hellhound glancing back Nicholas. Blood rushed to the criminal's cheeks when his crush stated the reason to agree to his terms. A bashful smile was on the short man's face, his cheeks tinted red as he glanced away, immensely happy with the situation. Something was proven to Arlo hastily, which was that Nicholas was beyond perfect. The sweet comment and decision to risk some comfort to keep him happy made the hellhound's heart dance.
"You're so sweet," Arlo said gently. "Thank-you, Nic... I appreciate you risking some comfort to make me happy."
With a broad grin across his face, Arlo entered the bedroom, his eyes wandering as he slowly approached the bed. Quickly, he reached for the bottom of his hoodie, tugging the pullover off. While the sweater was being removed, it tugged on Arlo's shirt, momentarily and unintentionally revealing a small portion of his belly and back. There was a series of small muscles, displaying a generally healthy body hidden beneath.
There were moments where crushes needed to be taught lessons, and Arlo considering the current situation one of those instances. While his affection for Nicholas was more intense than his other crushes, the hellhound remained determined to gain his eternal love and lay alongside him. The idea of being in the warm embrace of a bed with the white-haired man while they slumbered was beyond tempting; it was a necessity! The blush that coloured his crush's face was adorable, but the criminal refused to return to the position until he gained confirmation on the sleeping arrangements. The evening would not be pleasant without him snuggling his Nicholas while they dozed off into the marvellous land of dreams. Witnessing his crush's pout made Arlo giggle as he stared at the hunter, a wide grin touching his face while he held the phone close.
A faint blush tinted the hellhound's cheeks when Nicholas continued pouting and whined about the distance with a flirtatious voice. Another giggle escaped Arlo's throat, shaking his head 'no' when his crush reached out playfully. He craved returning to those arms, but the objective remained; it would be difficult enjoying the embrace knowing it could be abruptly ended.
"Because Niiiiiiicccc, there will be distance when we sleeeeeep," Arlo said playfully.
There was an impatientness holding Arlo while he waited for Nicholas' response. He craved the incredible feeling of his crush's arms around him, but the criminal could not return to cuddling yet. While he stood away from the couch, he bounced on his feet restlessly in hopes he would receive the desired answer shortly. When his crush began inquiring about the festivities that arrived with sharing the bed alongside his return, a broad, toothy smile crossed Arlo's lips. Consideration was the start for gaining his desire for Nicholas to sleep alongside him. There was a determination to receive the amazing gift of having company during his slumber in the apartment; especially since his crush appeared to have no intentions of taking things beyond an innocent level. There was a deep affection for Nicholas, but the hellhound was completely unprepared for getting intimate and would be for a while.
"YES! I PROMISE!" Arlo exclaimed. "PLEASE NIC! PLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASE! I PROMISE, JUST SLEEPING! NO DIRTY INTENTIONS AT ALL! I JUST REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANT TO SLEEP BESIDE YOU!"
The possibility of sleeping beside Nicholas was making Arlo jump up and down in excitement. There was an importance in the hunter's comfort, but the hellhound found the concept irresistible. Nights spent alongside a crush in a blissfully innocent slumber were always heavenly, thus Arlo could only imagine the intense divinity that would arrive with sleeping next to Nicholas; there could be nothing better.
Settling his head against Nicholas' chest was proving to be an excellent choice as the slightest pressure caused the man to recline. A playful giggle escaped Arlo's throat as he snuggled his crush, obviously content with the position. The rapid thumping of the man's heart was easily detected by the hellhound's superior hearing, causing his grin to broaden. Quietly, the criminal enjoyed listening to the rhythmic beating, his body relaxing as he snuggled Nicholas more. While their time prior consisted of brief interactions, Arlo found himself discovering a strange comfort around the white-haired man, even warranting trust to him. The hellhound enjoyed being around Nicholas, which generated his determination to convince his crush to share the bed for the night. The concept seemed cozy, resulting in Arlo craving it immensely as he laid with Nicholas.
While he waited for Nicholas' answer about the sleeping location, Arlo continued snuggling into the man's chest. The mentioning of allowing him to pick made a cheerful giggle leave the criminal's throat. He adjusted his head, staring up at his crush with an overzealous grin on his face until the man continued. There was the statement about never sharing the bed alongside the notion of allowing him to chose; Arlo's choice being wherever his crush was. Immediately, the hellhound's expression shifted into a pout as he looked at Nicholas. It was obvious he would have to switch to more drastic measures.
"Buuuuut I want to sleep wherever you are... You're cozy," he responded. "Oh well, guess you won't get your phone back."
Quickly, Arlo pulled away, giggling as he jumped off the couch to create some distance. A playful smirk touched the hellhound's face as he turned to look at his crush, his hand reaching into the pocket of his sweater to reveal Nicholas' cellphone. The item was held close, the criminal not desiring for his crush to steal the phone; HE COULD ONLY HAVE IT BACK WHEN HE AGREED TO SHARE THE BED! While the actions could be considered rude given his crush's nervousness, Arlo found it difficult to resist because of his affinity for sleeping beside his love interests. Without the other individual, the room felt like a dark, lonely place where he struggled to sleep because of the foreign location. Currently, Nicholas was crucial for a good night's rest, thus the hellhound was determined to convince him to sleep beside him.
Cuddling into Nicholas' shoulder was a marvellous idea as an extreme closeness was create between Arlo and his crush. The hellhound had essentially been invited into snuggling the white-haired hunter after an arm was placed around him. Gleefully, the criminal continued cuddling Nicholas, resting his head comfortably on the man's chest in an attempt to make his crush lay down. Laying with his head resting on his love interest's chest was a personal favourite for the flirtatious hellhound considering he could listen to the comforting rhythm of their beating heart. It was strangely soothing, creating an addiction for the position, although, Arlo could hardly complain should he remain unsuccessful. His current crush was proving to be excellent company, especially since they were already exchanging cuddles. When Nicholas mentioned desiring to be in this position, a broad grin continued to touch Arlo's face.
Everything was perfect considering the joy both individual's shared. The enjoyment increased when the hellhound felt his crush's other arm wrap around him. As time passed, the cuddling continued, leaving a wide grin plastered onto Arlo's face as he was granted an extensive amount of time with Nicholas. Thoughts were spinning through the criminal's head as he remembered he still possessed his crush's phone and the other necessity that needed sorting. Sleeping arrangements were required knowledge and Arlo was determined to be sleeping beside this divine hero who held his heart. With a grin marking his countenance, the hellhound glanced up at Nicholas, a mischievous giggle leaving his throat.
"Niiiiiic, where are we sleeping?" Arlo asked, placing emphasis on 'we'.
There was an innocent appearance to the criminal's eyes as he continued staring at his crush. Should Nicholas state they were sleeping separately, Arlo planned to take the man's phone hostage until they were sharing a bed. The hellhound's mind remained void of naughty intentions, the short boy truthfully desiring some night time snuggling while he fell asleep. Arms wrapped around him while he found comfort in his partner's warmth and company? It sounded like a wonderful way to drift into the world of dreams and he was determined to achieve it.
Snuggling his precious Nicholas was pure bliss to Arlo, especially with his crush attempting to defeat him in the flirting competition. The compliments were wonderful, causing the hellhound to gleefully smile and feel the faint blush touching his cheeks. Being around his crush was incredible, making a series of heart flutters be produced in the young criminal's chest. He adored how Nicholas flirted back, the rather amateur attempts being viewed as sweet and cute. It maintained Arlo's attention, keeping his romantic thoughts fixated on the white-haired man who stole his heart across a crowded room. Other men were meager in comparison to Nicholas, the incredibly sweet hero that appeared to have only innocent intentions. There were many who arrived with naughtier intentions, making the criminal quick to retaliate and cut ties with them.
The smooth moves taken towards securing a kiss on the lips were successful, bringing emotions of exhilaration to Arlo. The feeling of Nicholas' soft lips pressed against his own; it made his emotions skyrocket. The blush on the criminal's face deepened slightly, his heart beating intensely against his chest. The enjoyment made the hellhound melt into the kiss with Nicholas, displaying a sense of comfort with the concept. Drawing away was a misfortune, but Arlo remained grinning from the tingling sensation playing across his lips; the kiss was amazing. Using his flirting prowess, the criminal had managed to get a vivid red blush from his crush. A giggle escaped Arlo's mouth as he looked at Nicholas' face.
"Soooooo cuuuuute," he flirted.
Once accepted into the comfort of Nicholas' arm, the hellhound snuggled into the shoulder, immediately comfortable with the position. A brief, overjoyed hum left Arlo's throat while he snuggled into his crush's shoulder more. Slowly, the criminal wrapped his arms around the hunter's waist, making certain to close all proximity. The compliment of him being adorable caused Arlo to smile wider, glancing up towards Nicholas' face.
"And you're super handsome and comfy! I could stay here forever!" Arlo responded cheerfully, continuing his cuddling.
Being granted permission for close proximity left the hellhound overzealous, making him consistently snuggle Nicholas. It was becoming obvious that he won the flirting competition, years of practice making it an easy accomplishment. Now that the competition was over, it was time to enjoy some time cuddling his adorable crush.
