Snuggling

Zelos stared at Lloyd for a second, fully taking what he had said in. Lloyd had rejected him. Zelos had finally gotten enough courage to tell Lloyd he liked him, he had finally started believing that Lloyd might like him back, and he got rejected. A look of pain passed over Zelos' face for a second, but then he quickly covered it up. He couldn't let Lloyd know it affected him this much.

“Oh, okay. Well, let's still be friends, okay? I'm sure I'll get over it soon enough, I mean, it was just a crush, after all,” Zelos said as he got off the bed, smiling weakly. He knew his charade wasn't fooling Lloyd, but he could at least pretend it was. He was starting to walk away, when Lloyd grabbed his hand.

“Y-you can stay, if you want,” Lloyd said quietly, blushing and not looking Zelos in the face. Zelos gave him a quizzical look. What was Lloyd getting at?

“B-because we can, uh, snuggle, if you like,” Lloyd murmured, still holding his hand, though rather loosely now.

Zelos openly gaped. Was Lloyd returning his feelings? But hadn't Lloyd rejected him? Lloyd blushed even harder under Zelos' surprised gaze, and dropped his hand completely and turned away.

“B-because there's nothing wrong with friends snuggling, r-right?” He stuttered, still not facing Zelos.

Then it hit Zelos. Lloyd really did like him! Though Zelos would've preferred Lloyd to actually admit his feelings, this was probably about as close as Zelos was going to get. Well, for a while, at least.

“Yeah, sure, there's nothing wrong with friends snuggling,” Zelos replied, smiling and sitting back down on the bed. Lloyd pulled him close as they lied down, pressed up against one another. Lloyd was completely curled up against Zelos' chest, and Zelos had his arms wrapped around Lloyd protectively.

Zelos sighed contently. This was nice. And warm, very warm. Even though if Sheena found them like this tomorrow, she'd kill them (or, more specifically, Zelos), Zelos didn't care right now. All he wanted was to be here, warm and happy, snuggled up with Lloyd. And that's what he did.
