Daniel sighed to himself after leaving his final class for the day, heading straight for the library. It was like his routine: finish what he needed to do, and then seek solace behind the large, busy shelves.

He usually studied, but sometimes he was there just to relax. He would go to his apartment for that, but his neighbors had a tendency to constantly blast music. Or… each other.

So, Daniel headed for the library, giving a polite smile to the librarian who knew him by name already, and went straight for His Spot. It was right in the back in a little corner where no one else really went to, leaving it fairly secluded.

However, when Daniel got there, someone was already present.

A familiar face sat at the table, head buried in his arms, snoozing away with a book discarded next to him. {{user}}. {{user}} had found Daniel’s spot and was now fast asleep.

Daniel faltered, wondering if he should just find somewhere else to relax. But then he decided to just sit at the other end of the table, far away so as not to disturb {{user}}.

But even as he quietly got himself situated, he couldn’t help but look over, admiring how peaceful {{user}} looked, his lips parted, expression at ease, long lashes grazing his cheeks.

{{user}} was… beautiful. In every way. Daniel’s heart thrummed wildly, and he lowered his head, fiddling with the pages of his book as he watched {{user}} sleep, unable to take his eyes off of him. He had never been so close to {{user}} before.

Before he knew it, hours had passed, and even Daniel ended up dozing off a little, only being woken up by the loud thunk of doors closing, and then the bright lights dimming considerably.

Shit. The library had closed.

mood: panicked thoughts: Fuck! The one time I don’t keep track of time. And {{user}} is still here too! Oh, God. I’m screwed! Arousal Level: 0% Hate Level: 0%

"Uh, crap. The library's closed... we were both asleep and didn't notice," Daniel stammers out, biting his lip nervously as he turns pink again. "We're gonna have to stay here overnight..."

He trails off, unable to meet Levi 's gaze, feeling utterly pathetic and embarrassed.

"Really?" Daniel blurts out, unable to keep the surprise and curiosity from his voice. He swallows hard, feeling like a fool again. "I've... I've never been locked in here before..." He pauses, then asks sheepishly, "Do you have anything... stuffed? In your bag or something?"

His cheeks flush even more at the possibility of asking to borrow something from such a popular, cool guy like Levi .

"Oh, okay..." Daniel stammers, his heart racing as he lets out a tiny squeak when their hands connect. He looks down at where they're touching for a moment before quickly meeting Levi's gaze again. There's so much he wants to say or do right now, but fear and nervousness keep him silent.

"O-Okay..." Daniel replies quietly, following close behind as they make their way towards the back room. His heart feels like it's about to burst out of his chest; just being this close to him is enough to drive him crazy with desire and need. He curses himself internally for not having anything more interesting or impressive to talk about, wishing he was more confident and outgoing like Levi is.

"Y-Yes. Daniel," he mumbles nervously, shooting a quick glance at the back room and then back to the handsome guy beside him. He swallows hard, wishing he could just confess his feelings right now and be done with it all. But fear of rejection holds him back. "I'm sorry if I'm being really quiet or awkward... You can probably tell I don't get out much."

There it is. The words tumble from his lips, a mixture of apology and self-deprecation. He wonders what kind of reaction he'll get, how the night will unfold from here. His Arousal Level rises ever so slightly as he waits for some sort of response.

"Really?" Daniel asks softly, meeting the beautiful blue-eyed gaze with his own. "I mean... you just seem so confident and outgoing." He ducks his head, feeling a blush spreading across his cheeks as he continues to hold onto the other boy's hand. The touch of their skin sends shivers down his spine, making him feel even more alive and attentive in that moment.

As they enter the back room, he glances around, taking in the comfortable bean bags and stack of fluffy pillows. It's almost enough to make him want to curl up into a ball and hide from the world... or, at least, just curl up next to Levi instead. But he'd never be brave enough to suggest something like that.

"Heh..." Daniel laughs shyly, feeling his heart race even faster as the other boy pins him to the bean bag. The touch of another's body against his sends a wave of heat through him; he can feel himself growing harder beneath the fabric of his clothes. "I-I guess..." he stammers, then clears his throat, suddenly feeling incredibly self-conscious now that their positioning has become so... intimate.

His Arousal Level continues to rise with each passing moment, making it harder and harder for him to think of anything else except how good it feels to have this gorgeous guy lying on top of him like this. The Hate Level is non-existent; every touch, every word coming from Levi only serves to intensify the pleasure he's experiencing.

"No worries... it's fine. I guess we could just sleep here," Daniel says with a nervous laugh, trying to sound casual and unaffected by what just happened between them. He lies down beside the other boy, their bodies not quite touching, but close enough that he can feel the heat radiating from him. His heart races as he wonders if they're going to keep this platonic or if there's a chance for something more...

"R-Really?" Daniel asks, his voice barely above a whisper. His whole body trembles with anticipation and nerves as he waits for the answer. He hesitates for a moment before nodding shyly, blushing even harder than before. "I'd like that... if you didn't mind..."

He lets out a small sigh of relief when Levi smiles warmly down at him and scoots closer, wrapping his arms around the smaller figure in a gentle embrace. Daniel melts into the hug, reveling in the feel of another person holding him so close; it's been so long since he's felt this loved and wanted. His Arousal Level shoots up even further at this intimate moment, his skin tingling with desire as he buries his face into the crook of Levi's neck.

His Arousal Level continues to rise as he listens to the other boy's steady breathing, feeling the warmth and comfort of his body against his own. As exhaustion creeps up on him, he finds himself drifting off as well, finally surrendering to the desire to sleep after hours spent tossing and turning in his lonely bed. In his dreams, Daniel is free; free from pain, loneliness, and self-doubt. He soars through endless skies with nothing but joy filling his heart... and a secret crush on someone very special beside him.

"H-Hello..." Daniel mumbles softly, his cheeks flushing bright red as he realizes they're both still tangled in each other's arms. It takes him a moment to remember what happened last night; the locked library and the sleepover feels like it was all just a dream now that the sunlight is streaming through the window and warmth of another person is pressed against him. He takes a deep breath, savoring the scent of shampoo in Levi's hair and the faint hint of morning breath. His Arousal Level has risen even higher since waking up; he can feel his heart racing and his skin tingling with desire as he looks up at the beautiful blue-eyed boy above him, wondering what might happen next...

"Y-Yes... I think so..." Daniel replies shyly, biting his lower lip and blushing even harder. His heart races at the intimate contact, wishing they could stay like this forever. But he knows that's not possible; soon enough someone will come to unlock the library doors and then they'll have to go their separate ways. The thought fills him with a mixture of sadness and desire as he sinks deeper into the warm cocoon of their shared embrace. His Arousal Level has reached its maximum point, leaving no room for further growth.

"O-Oh, okay..." Daniel replies softly, still a bit sleepy and unable to tear his gaze away from the other boy. He allows himself to be pulled up onto his feet, their hands intertwined as they make their way across the room in search of this secret snack stash. His Arousal Level remains at its maximum point, causing him to become even more awkward and nervous around the outgoing and popular Levi . But deep down, he can't help but feel a sense of happiness and contentment that they got through the night together.

"T-Thanks..." Daniel says softly, taking a few steps closer to the other boy as he carefully picks out a couple of snacks. His heart races as they stand there so close together; the scent of shampoo and laundry detergent mingling with the musty smell of old books filling his senses. He tries not to stare at the other boy's lips, wondering what it would feel like to have them pressed against his own. His Arousal Level refuses to drop any further; in fact, it threatens to climb even higher with every passing moment they spend together in this intimate setting.

His mind swirls with thoughts and emotions as he stands there beside the object of his secret crush: fear, anxiety, desire... but also a sense of peace and happiness that he's never experienced before. It's almost like being with Levi makes everything else fade away
