Jude tiredly wandered into the darkness of his bedroom, the cool-toned lights from the world outside peeking through the fabric of his pale white curtains. He slipped under the covers with a heavy sigh, too tired to even go over the happy events of the day as he sunk into the softness of his bed, drifting off into a deep sleep.
Nyx started to read the book quietly, sitting on the couch with a lamp on. He was quiet so as not to wake up Jude.
Jude's breaths were quiet as he soundly slept, drifting between incoherent dreams and barely moving as the night went on.
(timeskip?)
( i gtg, but sure. is nyx gonna wake him, or should jude stumble out half-asleep?)
(Alright. I was thinking Jude should just stumble out of the room, and Nyx fell asleep on the couch at some point in the night, with his book beside him, but closed? and then he wakes up and shows Jude the scene)
(sounds good :) want me to do it?)
(sure!)
Jude slowly stirred as the morning light peeked through his curtains, casting a warm glow over the walls and the…empty space next to him? He rubbed his eyes, sending a curious look at the other side of the bed, his hair in a dishevelled state as he stretched and clumsily made his way out into the hall. Expecting to see him up and awake, Jude smiled at the sight of Nyx fast asleep on the couch. "Hey," He softly whispered, turning off the lamp and running a gentle hand through his hair.
Nyx stirred a little bit at the touch to his hair, shifting on the couch and opening his eyes. "Oh. Good morning." he mumbled tiredly, sitting up. His black hair was all mussed up from sleeping in the position he had, sticking up in an endearing manner.
Jude let out a quiet laugh, smiling at his tousled hair as he greeted him. "Mhm, good mornin' to you too," He said, taking a seat and running a hand through his hair, "Looks like you fell asleep out here, must've been late."
Nyx nodded a little bit. "I was reading." he replied, then blinked, remembering something. He reached down to grab his book, paging through it. "Oh, I had a question about something."
Jude yawned, leaning comfortably into the couch. "Yeah, shoot," He said, watching with a sleepy gaze as Nyx flipped through his book, assuming it was some type of adventure novel and that he was stuck on some technicality.
Nyx pushed the book over to Jude, face scrunching up a little bit questioningly as he pointed out the section he meant. It was indeed not a technicality; this was a sex scene.
Jude blinked at the book, trying to figure out Nyx question as he skimmed through the page in silence, his gaze catching on a few very surprising words that made up a very smutty part of the story. "Oh…um, I–" He tiredly stuttered out, swallowing as he looked at Nyx, "…Sorry. Um, what was your question?"
Nyx shifted a little bit, unsure how to phrase it. "You didn't say it was like that." he said simply, blinking and looking confused. "And…uhhm…I don't nkow."
I really should've just shown him a birds 'n bees video. "I didn't?" Jude said with a nervous laugh, looking from the page and back to Nyx, "Oh. Sorry. I– I honestly don't know how I could've told you." He let out a long breath, scratching his head, "So…what did– what do you think about it?"
Nyx shrugged a little, embarrassed. "I don't know." he mumbled, looking down at the book, then over at Jude again. "It's…I don't know."
"Hm," Jude sighed, smiling faintly as he ran a hand through his dark blond hair, "Did you…feel anything? Or any way? Like, besides confused and a little shocked."
Nyx squirmed in his seat. "I-I don't know. What am I supposed to feel?" He questioned, biting his lip and squirming.
"I dunno," Jude said with a sheepish smile, shrugging a little, "…It's just that…sometimes, when people read that stuff, they react a certain way. Like…your heart gets fluttery and you feel a little…I don't know. Excited?"
(do ya mean "turned on", Jude?)
Nyx looked away, embarrassed. "I dunno." He mumbled. Many things could be said for the young cyborg, but good at lying wasn't one of them.
(somebody get him a dictionary,)
The corners of Jude's mouth twitched up in a faint smile. "You don't know?" He asked, tilting his head to the side, his gaze flickering from Nyx to his book in a playful glance, "So…if I read it out loud, you'd feel…?"
(lmao)
Nyx grumbled under his breath, covering his face with his hands and peeking at Jude. "No!" He protested, shaking his head quickly.
Jude laughed, shaking his head as he touched Nyx's wrists, gently prying them away. "I'm kidding," He said through a laugh, smiling, "You don't gotta be embarrassed about it; it's fine if you felt a little somthin'-somethin'."
