hungover you

Luca was soon sound asleep as well, snoring softly into the pillow. By morning he'd wrapped one of his arms around her in his sleep, happy to have her with him, even if he didn't realize it.

---

Florence nodded and led him up to her room, curling up in bed after setting her glass of water down, watching as he sat at the edge of her bed beside her. She was quiet for a while, looking like she was trying to go to sleep, before she spoke. "I went into foster care when I was six, and had lived in seven different houses before I was 10, but after that I was with the same family until Luca and I were adopted. But.. But Luca didn't show up until a year after I'd been there, and things got so much better after he showed up, but.. But I'll never forget all the horrible, horrible things my foster father did to me and the other kids during that year." She let out a shaky breath, tears leaking down her cheeks as she turned to hide her face in her pillow out of shame. "Don't.. Don't tell Luca I told you, he doesn't know.."

Bexley opened her eyes, feeling an arm around her. She glanced down, recognizing the tattoos. She was in Luca's bed and she was wearing his shirt. She bit her bottom lip lightly, wondering what happened.

--

Jonathan frowned as she told him what happened. He sat beside of her, rubbing her back. "Hey, it's okay. I won't tell him. I'm sorry that happened to you." He said.

Axel groaned softly as he woke, slowly rolling over to rub the sleep from his eyes, standing to pull the blinds shut, content on going back to sleep after. Although he froze when he saw Bexley, frowning a bit. "Good morning, Bex.. You feeling alright?"

---

Florence wept softly into her pillow, glad that he was here to comfort her. She gently took his hand in hers and squeezed it, looking up at him with puffy eyes. "Th-Thank you.. For listening.. And for sitting with me. H-He'd always come to our room at night, and take us to the basement so we wouldn't wake up the others, a-and it's hard falling asleep sometimes, because even though it was so long ago, I-I keep worrying that he'll come through the door to take me away again.."

Bexley looked at him, pulling the blankets up some as her head rested on his pillows. "Yeah I have a little bit of a headache but I'm okay. Um...Luca what happened last night?" She asked.

---

Jonathan shook his head, "Nobody is going to mess with you. Try to get some sleep. I will sit here until you do." He said.

Luca moved to sit at the edge of his bed, looking over at her. "There's water and asprin on the table beside you.. You got super drunk at the party, and we helped you back here to stay the night. I tried to insist that I sleep on the floor, but you asked me to sleep in the bed instead, so I did. Don't worry, darling, nothing sleezy happened, I swear." He promised with a little grin. "It's still early, and I'm sure everyone else is still sleeping.. Am I allowed to get back in bed and go back to sleep, or should I grab my pillow and sleep on the floor?" He asked.

---

Florence nodded a little, wiping at her eyes as she squeezed his hand. "Can.. Can you lay down too? I-I remember waking up once and he was sitting there like that.. Watching me.." She shuddered a little at the memory, scooting over in bed to give him room to lay down.

Bexley smiled a little when he grinned. "Well I guess that is a good thing." She said as she sat up some. She took the aspirin before nodded. "You can lay back down." She told him. She laid back again and let her head rest on the pillows. She glanced over at him then got comfortable.

--

Jonathan stared at the bed before he laid on top of the blankets. He didn't need Luca catching him with her. "Get some sleep." He whispered to her.

Axel chuckled and nodded, laying back down with a happy sigh, settling down against the pillows and tugging the blankets back around him. "Thanks, Bex." He sighed, closing his eyes sleepily, ready to head back off to sleep.

---

Florence nodded a little as he laid down beside her, finally seeming to relax once he did. "Goodnight, Jonathan.." She murmured sleepily as she closed her eyes. It took her a while to finally fall asleep, but eventually she was sleeping peacefully, her hand still holding onto his.

Bexley looked at him, "For what? Letting you sleep in your own bed?" She asked, giggling. She turned to face him a little.

---

Jonathan ended up falling asleep, waking up before she did. He pulled away and sat up on the edge of her bed.

Bex laughed a little at her giggling, grinned as he looked over at her. "Yeah. I'm surprised you haven't kicked me out." He sighed as he settled in, watching her quietly.

---

Florence was still sound asleep beside him, curled up next to him, happy to have his warmth, considering she'd left the window open last night and it had gotten rather cold.

Bexley shrugged, "Why would I do that?" She asked. "You are a good guy and I like spending time with you." She whispered as they laid there.

--

Jonathan looked at his phone, knowing he would have to leave her room soon. He knew if her parents caught them it would be even worse.

Luca smiled as she spoke, reaching over to ruffle her hair before settling back and closing his eyes. "I like spending time with you too, Bex. Now get some sleep." He suggested.

---

Florence's eyes fluttered open not long after, rubbing at them sleepily as she looked up at him, a bright blush appearing on her cheeks. "Oh, hi Jonathan.. Did you fall asleep too?" She asked softly, not wanting her parents to hear. She knew they were probably already awake and leaving for their trip, and knew that they probably wouldn't come check on her incase they woke her because it was still early.

Bexley closed her eyes and fell asleep again. She snuggled up to him as she slept.

--

Jonathan nodded, "Yeah, I need to leave soon though. I really don't want to upset Luca." He said.

Lucas arms wrapped around her again as they slept, keeping her close. He woke up again a few hours later, humming sleepily as he slowly opened his eyes to look at her.

---

Florence frowned, shaking her head a little as she scooted away from him, as if to give him more space. "He wouldn't be mad.. He knows I have trouble falling asleep, and if I told him you fell asleep while sitting with me, he wouldn't be mad.. or at least he shouldn't."

Bexley shifted in her sleep, getting a little closer to him. She wrapped her arms around his waist as she slept.

--

Jonathan chuckled, "Yeah, he flips out if a guy looke at you." He said, shaking his head.

Luca smiled as he looked at her, his arms tightening around her as he gently ran his fingers through her hair lazily, ready to drift back off to sleep for a while.

---

Florence smiled a little, shrugging. "He's overprotective.. Wants to keep me safe, like he did in foster care.. He's a little much sometimes, but I can't tell him to stop."

Bexley closed her eyes and started to drift to sleep again. She bit her bottom lip lightly as she snuggled up to him.

--

Jonathan shook his head, "Florence, it's okay. It's not a bad thing. I just want to respect his boundaries." He said.

Luca was soon sound asleep once more, his nose tucked into her hair as he slept soundly. Soon enough he was snoring softly as he held her to his chest, sleeping for another few hours with her.

---

Florence nodded a little as he spoke, snuggling further into the blankets. "Still.. I still appreciate that you stayed with me.." She murmured as she looked at him, offering him a faint smile. "It's still early, though, so you're welcome to stay until Luca gets up and makes breakfast, but if you want to leave, I understand.."

Jonathan shrugged, "I could. I just don't want to get anyone into any trouble." He said as he looked at his phone to see what time it was.

---

Bexley woke up awhile later and smiled when she realized how Luca was holding her. She turned to lay on her back, looking over at him.

Florence nodded a little, rubbing at her eyes sleepily as she curled back up under the blankets, humming a little as she got comfortable. "I won't let you get in trouble, I promise.." she murmured sleepily, blinking a little as she tried to stay awake. It was only seven in the morning, and since they'd stayed out late the night before, Florence was looking forward to going back to sleep for a while.

---

Luca's nose was tucked into her hair as he slept, snoring soflty as he held her close. His arms and parts of his chest were covered in tattoos he'd gotten through his friend's, and he was warm, which was nice considering he'd left the window open, and the room was a bit cold.

Jonathan smiled, "Fine, you can fight off Luca." He said as he laid back and closed his eyes. He fell asleep and crossed his arms over his chest. He fell back asleep quickly.

--

Bexley looked at the tattoos on his arms, letting her fingers run over his skin. She bit her bottom lip lightly as she snuggled up to him again. Bexley wrapped her arms around his waist as she closed her eyes again.
