Okay, well, Dave hadn’t been expecting the conversation to take this turn. Not that he was complaining because he absolutely wasn’t. Dave liked the idea of being close to Blaine, he liked the idea of cuddling too so this was a win win in his books. He just had to hope that Blaine wouldn’t grow to hate it.

He knew that he was on the larger size of life and he knew that he might not be too comfortable to some people but he hoped that Blaine wouldn’t mind it. So he finally settled himself down next to Blaine and smiled, arm curling around his waist. “I can be the big spoon, if you want.” He preferred being the big spoon, he was tall so it made sense but it also meant he didn’t need to face the awkwardness of someones’ arm around his large tummy. 

Blaine held his breath until he saw Dave stand.  Was he pushing things?  Expecting too much when Dave was only being kind?  But just when he was sure it was about time to go find a shovel and dig a hole for himself to crawl into?  A hesitant few seconds was all it took.  Given his past several months?  It was hard not to think the worst.  Even though he was trying his best to let the part of himself that did that go?  It’d resurfaced with a vengeance and he was getting there.  Day by day as current company has been telling him since night one.

Dave climbed into the bed and began to scoot near.  Blaine decided it was okay to breathe again.  He even stole a moment to lean over Dave and press a soft kiss to his cheek before stretching back out, his back fit itself against Dave’s chest perfectly.  There was warm and comfort to be found.  Right here.  “This time?  That would be great.  I can always return the favor another time.  Don’t think I can’t big spoon the heck out of you because I totally can.”  Reaching back, their fingers were quickly laced together again and he pulled Dave’s arm around his middle.  The weight of the world seemed to melt off his shoulders and he sighed against the pillow.  “Is this okay?”
