Priestly Goes To The Blind Store And Makes A Purchase

"What if I'm thirsty?" he teased, not putting the shirt on. "Mars, you worry too much--when was the last time you got some rest? Come on, this bed is nice and comfy." He waggled his eyebrows at the wall.

Mars shook his head before realizing that wasn't enough.

"No, I'm fine, I'm just worried about you." He said truthfully. "Come on, lay back down and put on your shirt; it's cold."

"You have to join me," he insisted, grinning.

Sighing, Mars stripped off his shoes and his jacket so he could crawl into the bed next to Priestly. He made a point, however, of not touching him if he didn't have to.

"There." He replied, gently touching Priestly's arm. "Now lay down."

"Cuddle me," he replied, trying not to laugh.

Mars pinched him in the arm; the first mean thing he had done all day long.

"No, go to bed."

He gasped, rubbing his arm.

"But I can't do it if I'm cold."

Mars pulled the blankets over them both.

"There."

"Still too cold," he replied cheerily. "I need the warmth of a human body pressed against mine."

Mars groaned loudly before he moved over and wrapped his arms, rather awkwardly, around Priestly's mid-section.

Priestly did the same in return, laying down and snuggling close.

"Ah, now I can rest. Thank you, Marsy."

"Just go to bed." He mumbled, trying to squirm father away. He hated the pleasure he got from just cuddling with Priestly.

Priestly held onto him, just stroking his back.

"Come now--don't deprive a blind man of one of his few pleasures."

Mars squirmed slightly, but he didn't move away again; guilt and everything forced him to stay.

"F-fine, just go to bed soon..."

"I'll sleep when you do," he replied, pecking him on the forehead.

Mars sighed and closed his eyes, trying to ignore Priestly. He scooted a bit closer so that he could get into a more comfortable position.

He continued stroking his back, his hands roaming lower and lower each time.

He ignored it, for now, and tried to focus on something else, like sleeping.

And that's how they fell asleep with Priestly's hand on Mars's butt.

When Mars woke up, he was still really tired. He hadn't slept very well, because he was too busy worrying about Priestly. Honestly, he felt even worse.

He groaned as he shifted to get up and get them something to eat.

Priestly woke up shortly after, yawning. He was surprised at first when everything around him was pitch blackness; then he remembered.

Mars stood up and stretched. When he noticed Priestly was awake he said, "I'll go get us something to eat."

"We're still in my room?" he asked patiently.

"Of course." He replied. "Do you want to go somewhere else? I'll lead you there."

"The only place I want to go is wherever you are," he replied with a smile. "You worry too much, anyway--I can find my way around my own home."
