Leo was woken when Freddie slipped out of his arms to answer his phone. Leo groaned softly but kept his eyes closed hoping Freddie would fall back into him and sleep again soon.

"Okay okay I'm coming now," Freddie whispered into the phone.

Leo smiled to himself at Freddie's attempt not to wake him, as though losing the warm body he'd been wrapped around all night.

"No I'll be there soon," Freddie continued.

"I'm at Leo's," he added in response to something.

The scream that came down the line was loud enough for Leo to hear as clearly as he'd had the phone to his year.

"Nikki damn, stop screaming. Stop. I'm hanging up. See you soon."

Freddie cut the scream off by hanging up and Leo lay still waiting to feel the bed shift as Freddie disappeared. But the bed didn't shift, and the silence continued until Leo finally caved opening his eyes to find Freddie smiling down at him.

"I knew you were awake," Freddie said softly.

"Your fault," Leo teased stretching out and pulling himself up to a sit.

"No don't move," Freddie said. "I just wanna look at you."

The blush that bled through Leo's cheeks was uncontrollable.

"Gorgeous."

"Don't you have somewhere to be," Leo said overwhelmed by the way Freddie was looking at him.

"Crap, yeah, okay you stay here just like this until I get back."

"You're gonna be gone all day," Leo replied.

"Exactly. Stay right here."

Leo smiled and lay back down obediently.

"Perfect," Freddie said.

He lent down towards Leo and kissed his forehead sweetly before jumping of the bed and rushing to the bathroom. A moment later he came back out holding a wet clump of material.

"Yeah I'm gonna need to borrow some clothes," Freddie.

Laughing Leo told him to help himself. He let himself watch Freddie rummage around his draws, sending him in the right direction for the things he needed. It was intoxicating, and Leo tried not to think about how much he wanted Freddie to wander around his room every morning. Too soon Freddie was leaning down to kiss his forehead again and rushing out the door leaving Leo blushed, aroused and falling.

He slept for another few hours, enjoying the rare opportunity for a sleep him, soaking in the scent Freddie left on his bed. Even after he woke up he stayed, thinking about how Freddie had looked at him that morning. Embarrassingly Leo might have done as Freddie said, staying in his bed all day waiting for him to return. But he didn't get the chance because Sadie burst into his room without warning welding her phone like a bomb.

"Have you seen this?" She said.

Leo gave her a look he hoped conveyed the stupidity of her question because how was he supposed to know.

"Uh fine just look," she said holding the phone out to him.

Reluctantly Leo took it, he wasn't sure what to expect, it could be anything from a death in the family to a new picture of Harry Styles. It wasn't either of those things. Sadie's phone was open to a well known football forum. A forum Leo had repeatedly told her not to look at because she'd gotten irrationally upset by a couple of posts about Leo's early matches last season. The post Leo was looking at wasn't about football. It was a screen cap from a Facebook group with a picture of Leo and Freddie kissing. Leo let the phone slip from his hand as his head fell forward.

"Shit."
