Church Bells

"I feel like the affect will be the exact opposite." He grumbled irritably.

He grinned.

"Depends on how you look at it."

"No matter what, I refuse to let you touch me again." He replied, crossing his arms adamantly. "That is one thing I won't have."

"Challenge accepted."

"...That wasn't a challenge!" He shouted.

"Too late--accepted."

"B-but..." He sighed deeply. "...I need a nap."

"Want to cuddle? I make a great pillow," he said, removing his apron.

He glared.

"That's the last thing I want to do."

"Why not? You're in need of a nap, and I'm comfy."

"I'm in need of time alone!" He snapped. "Time without you!"

Naturally, Priestly was a ho, and he hugged Mars close with utmost care even in his sleep.

Mars stirred, and as soon as he did, he shoved Priestly away, only to find the man wouldn't budge.

"L-let go!" He exclaimed, his wittle face turning red like it always did. It would get stuck permanently like that some day, you just wait.

He didn't so much as twitch; he seemed sound asleep, for the most part.

Mars sighed deeply, and against his better judgement, he actually snuggled up with Priestly. He had some time before he woke up, he figured...
