They do not fall asleep immediately. Not even close.
At first there is space between them. Not a dramatic amount, but enough to feel intentional. Steve is on his back, one arm flung over his eyes. Bret is on his side, facing away, staring at the wall like it might give him instructions.
The room is quiet except for the faint hum of traffic outside and Steve’s uneven breathing.
After a minute, Steve shifts.
“Bret.”
“Yeah.”
“I’m not asleep.”
“I gathered,” Bret says. “You just sighed like you’re auditioning for a sad indie film.”
Steve snorts. Then goes quiet again.
A few seconds pass. Then Steve’s arm flops down. He turns his head.
“I keep thinking I should text her,” Steve says.
Bret turns back immediately. “Nope.”
“I just want to see if she—”
“No,” Bret says again. “Absolutely not.”
Steve groans. “Bret.”
“Nope nope nope,” Bret says, rolling onto his back so he can see Steve properly. “You are not drunk texting Bianca at one in the morning.”
Steve squints. “It’s not drunk texting. It’s emotional processing.”
“It’s self sabotage,” Bret says. “Give me the phone.”
Steve clutches it to his chest. “What if she’s also sad.”
“She is sleeping peacefully,” Bret says. “Like a villain.”
Steve laughs weakly. “You hate her so much.”
“I do not hate her,” Bret says. “I just think she is ... aggressively wrong for you.”
Steve sighs. His thumb hovers over the screen.
Bret reacts without thinking. He scoots closer and gently but firmly wraps an arm around Steve’s chest, pinning Steve’s hands down.
“No,” Bret says softly but seriously. “Do not.”
Steve freezes. Then relaxes into the hold.
“You’re literally restraining me,” Steve says.
“Yes,” Bret replies. “For your own good.”
Steve exhales, phone slipping from his fingers onto the mattress. “Okay. Okay. You win.”
Bret doesn’t let go right away.
They lie there, Bret half draped over Steve, Steve warm and solid beneath him. Bret is suddenly very aware of how close they are again. Of how his thigh is pressed against Steve’s. Of how Steve smells like soap and alcohol and something familiar.
Steve turns his head slightly. “You always do this.”
“Do what.”
“Save me from my own worst instincts,” Steve says. “Like when I tried to quit my job via email.”
“That email was unhinged,” Bret says. “You thanked your boss for the trauma.”
Steve chuckles. “He deserved it.”
“Maybe,” Bret admits. He loosens his hold but doesn’t pull away completely. His arm stays around Steve, more hug than restraint now.
Steve shifts closer, instinctive, seeking warmth.
“You know,” Steve says quietly, “I really did think she was the one.”
“I know,” Bret says.
“I had this whole picture,” Steve continues. “House. Dog. You stealing our spare key and never giving it back.”
