“Person A knowing that person B does cute things when A is asleep (plays with their hair, gives forehead kisses, tracing lips, gentle snuggling, draws them, etc). One day person A pretends to be asleep, but ends up being unable to hold back a smile as person B begins displaying their rare affection”

The
first time it happened, it was so quick, it might as well have been
an accident.It
was movie night at Erica’s, and there was a heavy weight on Derek’s
shoulder, a soft snoring in his ear. He didn’t need to look to know
Stiles was fast asleep on him, had been for several minutes now.Stiles
had been yawning from the moment Derek walked into Erica’ apartment,
arms full of the extra snacks she had made him buy on the way over.
Because apparently they didn’t have enough already, despite the whole
living room table being full of bowls and plates with them. Erica
went all out to impress everyone though, had been stressing about it
for weeks before, so Derek hadn’t thought twice before he’d said he’d
do it.The
movie had started and not ten minutes after, Stiles was fast asleep
on his shoulder.Had
it happened a few years ago, Derek would have shoved him off with an
annoyed grunt and told him to not drool on him. But now – after
everything they had been through together, and after they stopped
pining and started dating – he just smiled fondly for a second and
let him stay there.
