Chapter 19 - Starlight Sleeping Beauties

- Chapter 19 - Friends Cuddle (Ft. Race trying to assure himself that there's no feelings.) -
Warnings: Fluff! Slight mentions of bullying (the title above this was too long to fit at the top, so I switched them lol)
Third Person POV

A/N, Race is not scary. Race looks like that kid who'd be performing in something at school and was looking for his mother the whole time. (Elmer, however...)

Race steals a look at Albert and Spot, before looking back at the stars.

He exhales deeply.

It's okay.

There's nothing there.

We're just being friends.

Friends cuddle together, right?

I've definitely fell asleep with JoJo and Elmer, hugging each other tightly.

So, there's no feelings to this, right?

Race sighs quietly.

Why is this so confusing?

I mean-

No. We're just friends.

But they keep flirting.

Stop!

Race smacks his arm.

Albert looks at him, his eyebrows furrowed. "You okay?" He asks softly.

Race nods, looking back at the stars to avoid Albert's eyes.

Albert shares a look with Spot, before dropping it.

After a few minutes, Race's eyes started to get heavy.

I'll just rest my eyes for a few minutes, Race tells himself. Not very long.

I'm not even going to fall asleep.

Race closes his eyes slowly, thinking of stories in his mind so he didn't fall asleep.

About thirty minutes later

Spot was having an argument with himself in his mind when he noticed something.

He was laying on a blanket on the grass, a pillow under his head.

Albert laid with his head on Spot's chest, his arms around Race.

Race laid in the middle of Albert and Spot, turning towards Albert.

They were asleep.

Spot chuckles softly, looking back at the stars.

They're so cute.

He smiles to himself.

His hand slowly drifted over to Albert's hair.

His fiery red hair was silky and soft, and Spot loved it.
