Through the Screen

thin rays of sparse sunlight were struggling through the bay window, barely reaching the foot of the bed and the digital clock next to it blared five minutes to eight. abel groaned out of frustration, patting around the bedsheets to find noah, only burying his face inside the warm pillow when he found no one.

"noah!" he called, voice muffled by the pillow and he could hear noah's disinterested hum in response.

"where are you?" his tone trailed more into a whine as he opened his eyes, rubbing them tiredly with the back of his hand and sitting up straight in bed.

"god i have so many mixed feelings about winters," abel shivered slightly once noah's cold fingertips attempted to grip his waist and he just shrugged him off.
