"You gotta go to sleep, baby."

"No I don't."

Mitch pulled away from his blonde just enough to look at his face. He raised an eyebrow, but wasn't sure Scott saw it in his attempts to move closer to Mitch again. Before he could protest though, he felt lips against his own. The kiss was soft and sweet and completely unintentionally persuading Mitch to drop the topic. But soon he pulled back again, albeit reluctantly.

"Santa's not gonna come tonight if you don't sleep."

"Just wanna stay awake. Wanna keep kissing you." Mitch sighed, wishing Scott would make it just a little bit easier to turn him down.

"There'll be plenty of that in the morning." Somehow, those words seemed to do the trick, even though Mitch began regretting it the moment the blonde began settling further into the bed. This time it was Mitch leaning forward and pecking Scott's lips, which was a much appreciated gesture, before he rested his head in the crook of Scott's neck.

"Love you," Scott muttered. Mitch smiled into Scott's neck, and managed to press his lips to his neck as a response before drifting off to sleep.
