Jason sat where he was, his mind foggy and half-asleep. He thought he felt Zeph stir in his arms, but didn't open his eyes. He almost wanted to fall asleep now, but didn't want to miss a minute of his time with Zeph, and sometimes dreams just weren't enough. So he reluctantly opened one eye, then the other, not raising his head. He heard Zeph sigh, and wondered why, but stayed still and silent, not wanting to disturb him.

Zephyros smiled a little. He heard Jason almost fall asleep, and didn't want to move for much the same reason Jason hadn't wanted to move. Of course, it helped that his head was the one under the other's, which meant his movements were more likely to disturb Jason. Finally, though, he couldn't help it. He chuckled, "So, how long are we going to pretend to be asleep to keep from waking the other?"

Jason grinned and laughed as well. "Until one of us absolutely has to move, I guess... my leg is starting to fall asleep. But I don't want to get up. Not yet."

Zeph hugged him closer, "We could shift to a more comfortable position and actually get some sleep?" he suggested. "It's easier to sleep lying down, for example..."

"Mmm... true..." Jason murmured, shifting slightly to stretch out his legs, then leaning slowly backward, pulling Zeph down onto the bed with him. "But what if someone finds us...?"

"We're dressed and who cares?" he grumbled, letting Jason pull him down. He put his head on Jason's chest, closing his eyes. "We aren't doing anything but sleeping and the sun is up so it's not like I'm trying to spend the night in your room."
He wrapped his arms around Jason again, listening to his heartbeat.

"Good point." Jason wrapped his arms around Zeph, snuggling close and closing his eyes again. This was much more comfortable than before; he found himself drifting off a lot faster than he had been. He yawned and murmured, "Sleep well, West Wind," before sleep overcame him.

Zephyros listened to his heartbeat for a while, its steady pulse slowly lulling him back to sleep. He managed to think of the door, looking at it. Harder to find them if the door was closed. He focused and a small breath of wind closed the door, just enough to make it latch and stay closed. He tested it with a gust on the other side and smiled when it didn't move. He snuggled closer to Jason and fell asleep.

Jason eventually stirred again, blinking as he reluctantly awoke. He was still wrapped in Zeph's arms, which were now almost uncomfortably warm around him. The sun had moved quite a bit since he had fallen asleep, but he couldn't quite judge exactly how much time had passed.
Carefully he slipped out of Zeph's embrace, tiptoeing quickly over to the door and opening it. He stood there for a second as the cooler air rushed in from the hallway, then returned to the bed and sat down on it, watching Zephyros.

Zephyros groaned, shivering as the air started moving again. He woke up, looking at Jason with a slightly blank expression. Blinking slowly, he sat up and looked at Jason curiously. "What time is it?" he mumbled.
His green eyes were still hazy with sleep. He was still so tired... He rubbed his eyes, trying to wake up and think clearly. It was going to take forever to catch up on his sleep... He yawned widely, covering his mouth and stretching, then raking his curly hair out of his face. A few tendrils fell back, curling by the side of his face and giving it an innocent appearance along with his current sleepy demeanor.

Jason glanced over at his alarm clock. "Twenty after five. Almost dinner time. Wonder what we're having... That roast beef yesterday was good. And the potatoes." He felt his mouth watering at the thought. He stood up, stepping up to his easel and beginning to tidy up what he'd neglected to do before his nap.

Zephyros grinned at him, rubbing his eyes again and helping straighten up, mostly by making the bed. "I honestly don't care, I'm not very hungry. Haven't been for days."
Once the blankets and sheets were back in place, he looked around for something else to help with. He was afraid of putting things away... when he didn't know where they belonged. That was the best way for things to get lost.

"Really?" Jason looked at Zeph in confusion, pausing in the act of taking a jar of paint-clouded water to the bathroom to dump it out. "Any particular reason? Is it your 'magical workouts' taking your energy and focus away from food? I thought workouts would make you hungrier."

"Not always. That's why anorexics often exercise so much. Work too hard and you lose your appetite," Zeph shrugged, rubbing his face again. "In fact, it can make it hard to keep food down. I've been eating a bit; probably not enough, but then I haven't really been able to keep enough down."
He sighed, looking around. "Is your room usually this tidy?"

Jason smiled at the question. "Pretty much." He slipped into the bathroom and poured the jar of water down the toilet, then rinsed it and set it down as he came back to where Zeph was standing. "I like knowing where my things are."

"Maybe it's because I room with my brother... but I usually have things all over. Though I know where everything is. If you're really hungry, we could start heading to the mess hall. It's not like we can't invade the kitchen early."
Zeph moved over to him and hugged him again, putting his chin on his shoulder. "Mm. You're about the perfect height for this. Just barely taller than I am." His eyes closed again, though he didn't start to drift off.

Jason snuggled into the hug, rubbing his cheek against the soft fabric of Zeph's tunic. "If you want to, I guess we could go..." He looked at Zeph, a twinkle in his blue eyes. "How far do you think we'll be able to get if we walk without letting go of each other?"

Zeph chuckled, "Not far."
His face grew serious, "Besides, are we... together? And if you feel that we are, do you want to advertise it? No one is going to see us leave, and we could easily claim we ran into each other in the halls..."
He wasn't sure how he felt about that. He thought he liked Jason enough to call him 'boyfriend'... but did he really know Jason well enough for that yet? And he didn't want to give an impression that wasn't true... Though how comfortable he felt with Jason had to mean something, right? He bit his lip, feeling conflicted.

Jason chewed his own lip; he had been asking himself the very same questions.
"I... don't really know... I mean, we've only been friends for a little while, and we really don't know that much about each other yet... I think it might be better to wait until we know each other more to start mentioning anything about that kind of relationship. As for whether or not we're together... I think that's something we should decide mutually. What do you think?"

Zephyros took a deep breath, noticing that he and Jason were still embracing. "Well... I... I'm not sure. Obviously we feel very comfortable with each other... We're still hugging, after all. But... I don't think we've really gotten to know enough enough to say we are really together..."
He licked his lips nervously, trying to put his thoughts in order. It was hard; not just because he was tired, either. "Maybe we should just be friends for a while, and ask this question again when we feel we actually know each other?"

Jason nodded, smiling and relaxing. "Yeah, I think that would be best... we shouldn't rush into anything. I mean, we never know what's going to happen..."

Zeph grinned, "Of course, our words might mean more if we didn't have our arms around each other. I think I'm getting hungry too... let's go eat," he said, somewhat reluctantly pulling away. His stomach growled and he chuckled a little.

Jason laughed, lowering his arms as well. "As you wish... or, as your stomach wishes." He winked and started away up the hallway towrd the mess hall.

Zephyros followed him, grinning. "Bet I can beat you to the mess hall," he said, then started running before Jason could respond.

"Hey! I never agreed to that bet!" Jason laughed, running to catch up with Zeph. "You're a cheat!" His voice echoed back down the way he had come as he raced his friend up the hallway. (( Just Friends, Honest. ))
