Awkward Mornings and New Beginnings

"I can't believe he really allowed us to stay overnight…"

"See? I told you," Damien replied, a bit smug, while Theo still looked slightly dazed.

Damien couldn't help but feel overjoyed at the thought that they'd be able to sleep together tonight.

"Well then…"

They both started to say at the same time that it was time to go to bed.

"You know I'm not going to let you sleep tonight, right?"

Theo smiled brightly, almost mischievously.

To be honest, Damien was tired... but he wasn't going to miss the chance to stay up and be close to Theo, so he nodded silently.

Damien felt sleepy.

"Good morning, Master Theo," Sebas greeted him.

"Good morning, Sebas."

"You seem quite refreshed today, Master Theo."

"Of course! I'm full of energy today!"

"Is that so? We must thank Sir Damien for that."

Damien could hear someone talking, but the exhaustion weighed heavy on him.
