Lucas sighed again and fell quiet, just allowing Melissa to hold onto him.
Lucas sighed again and fell quiet, just allowing Melissa to hold onto him.
After a decent amount of time of the two of them laying there together, Melissa was slowly starting to nod off in his arms.
Lucas lay down in the blanket fort with Melissa and closed his eyes, trying to get himself to relax.
Melissa eventually fell asleep as she laid with him, her hold on his starting to loosen. Though she was asleep, she appeared to be wanting to stay close to him.
Lucas eventually drifted off to sleep as well, huddling up more in the blankets as he did so.
Melissa slept for a while, content to stay that way. But as an hour or two went by, she slowly started waking up. “Mm… Lu..?”
"Mm…" Lucas stirred a bit when he was addressed and looked over at Melissa sleepily. "What…?"
Melissa pulled herself closer to him, burying her face in his chest. “Mm… were you asleep..?”
Lucas nodded a bit and closed his eyes again when Melissa moved closer. "Yeah… you…?"
“Mhmm… I thought you were awake… didn’t mean to wake you up…” Melissa mumbled, still pretty tired.
"Mmm…" Lucas nuzzled against Melissa a bit. "I love you…" He mumbled.
“Mm… love you, too…” Melissa mumbled, smiling softly. She kissed his shoulder, settling back into his arms.
"D'you know what time it is?" Lucas asked softly, starting to play with Melissa's hair.
Melissa shook her head, burying it in his chest. “I dunno… it’s probably later though, and we need to eat.”
"Yeah, we do… got anything in mind?" Lucas asked Melissa gently.
Melissa shook her head, looking up at him. “Mm… maybe we could make homemade pizza or something…”
"Do we have the stuff for that?" Lucas asked. "And do you know how to make it? I don't think I've ever done it before…"
“Mm, probably…” Melissa mumbled, head on his shoulder. “I’ve made it once or twice before. It’s not that hard…”
"Alright… let's go do that, then." Lucas dragged himself to his feet and held his hand out to Melissa.
Melissa groaned, yawning as she looked up at him. “But we were cuuuuuuuuuddlinnnnnng…”
"I knoooooow… but we gotta eat, Mel. Like you said." Lucas took hold of Melissa so he could help her up.
Melissa huffed as she got up, wrapping her arms around his waist when she was stable. “Why did I say that?” She huffed, holding onto him tightly.
Lucas smiled gently and led Melissa into the kitchen. "Yeah, yeah… where's the recipe?" He asked.
"Mm… I have it saved on m'phone…" Melissa mumbled, not letting go of him even as they walked. "M'sleepy… can't we go back and lay down..?"
Lucas sighed a bit. "Maybe after dinner? We haven't eaten much today, Mel. It's not healthy."
"But I don't want to eat…" Melissa mumbled, burying her face in his shoulder. "I don't like it…"
"I know you don't like it, Mel, but you gotta. May I see the recipe, please?" He asked.
Melissa didn't move for a couple seconds, but eventually let out a weak sigh as she pulled back. Pulling her phone up, she handed it over to him with slumped shoulders.
"Thanks, darling." Lucas kissed Melissa's cheek and busied himself with gathering ingredients for the pizza.
"Yeah, sure…" Melissa numbly responded, going to help him. Though she didn't really want to eat, she wasn't going to put the work on him.
