<strong>~Andrew and Jonny settle down for the night~</strong><div class="floatright">(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f162/shadowjewel/Character%20pics/Andrewmini.jpg)</div><br/><br/>It was difficult, trying to get Jonny dressed for bed, averting his eyes when appropriate given how the other man was acting. It was so unnerving and distressing that Andrew found himself fumbling over the other man’s shirt as he helped him into it; then when Johnny grabbed on to him, reaching for a kiss, it took all the concentration Andrew could spare to try and get the buttons done up at all, even if they were done wrong. Not knowing where to put his hands once he was done fussing over the buttons, they came to rest on the other man’s arms, eventually sliding round to rest on his back as he lost conscious track of them.<br/><br/>Eventually they parted and Andrew touched his forehead on Johnny’s, catching his breath. As Johnny began to sag, still clutching him, Andrew lead him over to the bed, pulling back the sheets and tucking him in. Placing a delicate kiss to his brow then his lips, Andrew was about to reluctantly leave when Johnny’s grip on his arm was joined by his other hand.<br/><br/>Wide, frightened eyes looked up at him, “Stay, please, stay.”<br/><br/>Andrew was reluctant; what if there was a visitor in the night? What if this caused the gossip among the servants to take a more malicious turn? What if... what if...<br/><br/>Andrew sighed. All the ‘what if’s in the world would not be able to take away the memory of those eyes if he turned away. “Of c-course. Of course I will stay. Just, let me put out the candles and shed this jacket. That’s it, let go...”<br/><br/>Gently he removed his arm from the other man’s grasp, moving with haste to snuff out the candles, shedding his jacket, kicking off his shoes and loosening his shirt. He decided against removing more of his clothes, blushing at the thought of it.<br/><br/>Walking back to the bed he was keenly aware of Johnny’s eyes on him. He pondered for a moment what to do, very aware of the heat rising from his own face. Eventually he grabbed a light blanket from the chest at the end of the bed and settled down on top of the covers next to Johnny. Holding the other man close through sheets, they curled up together, though it would be a while before exhaustion forced Andrew to sleep.
