Close Your Eyes
Spencer awoke early on a Saturday morning to the sounds of what sounded like Derek tripping over things and cussing under his breath. He groaned and rolled over, getting tangled up in the covers that Derek had thrown over him, and looked at the alarm clock. 3:42 in the morning - a precious Saturday morning that was supposed to include sleeping late and laying around the house on their day off.
“Derek?” Spencer croaked out, opening one eye to get a feel for his surroundings. Spencer lazily pulled himself from bed and stood up, picking up his sweater from the end of the bed and wrapping it around himself. He stumbled out of their shared bedroom, hair sticking up all over the place as he found his way to the door.
“Derek?” Spencer repeated, leaning himself up against the door frame and giving up all hope on moving any further.
“No! Close your eyes!” Before Spencer could even respond, he was almost tackled and pushed back into the bedroom.
“What... My eyes are barely open to begin with... Wait, why do I need to close my eyes in my own home...” Derek gently held Spencer by the arms, partially to keep him from falling down from the collision, and also because he couldn't help but touch him when they were this close.
“You're cute when you're half asleep. Keep mumbling and go lay back down, Pretty Boy.”
Spencer frowned and finally got a good look at Derek as his eyes adjusted. “I will if you come with me.”
This time, it was Derek's turn to frown. “I will in a few minutes. Go lay down and I'll be there in a minute.”
Spencer opened his mouth to protest when a slight movement caught his eye from behind Derek in the living room. He tilted his head slightly to the right to look over Derek's shoulder and raised an eyebrow.
“Is that a...?” Spencer's arms dropped from across his chest as his eyes enlarged and began to sparkle as his lips pursed in his innocent smile. Spencer crossed the room in four short strides as he excitedly plopped himself to the floor as a small husky puppy trotted his way past Spencer and the couch and went to retrieve his new rope toy.
The puppy pranced back over, toy in his mouth, and stopped mid-stride to examine Spencer. He looked at him with one blue eye and one green as if saying who the hell are you, and continued to stare. Finally, Spencer took the rope toy from the puppy's mouth and tossed it across the room, causing the puppy to chase after it excitedly and bring it back for more.
Derek came and crouched down next to Spencer. “Happy birthday, babe. He was supposed to be a surprise, but the two of you were working against me and you both woke up... No one ever listens when you say 'close your eyes...'”
