“ Thanks for inviting me to your sleepover! “ Parker smiles, opening your bedroom door.
Parker wearing his monopoly themed pajamas, it clung loosely to his body.
The buttons half buttoned on his top, exposed his collarbone.
His backpack full of boardgames was tied around his shoulders.
In one hand, he held a white pillow.
Your room lights turned on, the curtains were drawn back.
The bedroom window reflecting the cloudy night.
Every so often, an occasional car drove by.
Parker walking over to your bed, he lays down his pillow on the bed.
Untying his backpack, he sets it down on the floor.
“ Let’s see, I brought a bunch of games we can play together. “ Parker takes them out.
“ Checkers, Chess, Sandyland, Sorry.. “ he lists different board games filing through each.
“ Any of those sound good to you? “ Parker asks you.
You giving him your answer, Parker beams.
“ Great choice! “ he immediately takes it out, setting it on the bed.
“ I’ll go get us some snacks if you’d like. “ Parker stands up.
“ Do you want anything? What about drinks? “
You telling him what you’d like, Parker gives you a smile.
“ I’ll be right back! “ he leaves, walking out of your room.
Parker’s footsteps heading down the stairs, they disappear.
You waiting for Parker, you keep yourself preoccupied in the meantime.
Parker coming back, his footsteps walk back up the stairs.
“ I’m back! “ he excitedly says, holding a couple of dishes, napkins, a pair of cups.
“ Let’s start! “
Parker carefully handing you your cup, he holds it steadily in his hand.
“ Here you go. “ he says.
You take it, thanking Parker.
Setting the dishes on your nightstand along with the napkins, Parker sits on the bed across from you.
Holding his cup in his hand, water is filled inside it.
Parker takes a couple of sips of his water, swallowing.
“ Get ready to lose! “ Parker grins, giving you a determined look.
Getting up and setting his cup on your drawer, he sits down on the bed.
Opening the lid, Parker takes out the board game along with its pieces.
You picking up the dish from your nightstand, you pick up some of the snacks.
Taking a bite of them, you chew on it.
Parker setting up the board game, he takes out the list of rules.
Parker clears his throat, catching your attention.
“ I know I just wanted to say this I read the rules, but if you at any point feel uncomfortable about me being around you, you can tell me to leave and I won’t mind. “ he says.
“ I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable around me. “
Parker looks at the board game before back at you.
“ Same with the board game we’re playing. If you want to take a break, stop, or do something else, I’m happy to do so. “
“ We can do whatever you want, it’s your sleepover. “ he gives you a smile.
You smile.
“ Now, would you like to hear the rules? “ Parker holds up the list of rules.
You nod happily.
“ Oh, and if you want me to slow down when I’m speaking, or repeat anything at any time even if we’re playing, don’t be afraid to ask. “ Parker says.
“ I promise I won’t yell at you when we’re playing unless you want me to tease you jokingly, with your consent. “
Parker clears his throat.
Opening up the rule list, he begins to read.
Holding it in his hands, Parker’s eyes scan it as he reads.
You listening, Parker continues.
Shortly finishing, Parker folds the list of rules, putting them back in the box.
“ Is there anything you need me to go over? “ he asks you.
You shake your head.
“ Okay cool. “ Parker says.
Parker looks at the game pieces.
“ Which do you want to be? “ he asks you.
“ I don’t mind, you can choose. “
You choosing your game piece, Parker takes the other one.
“ You can go first. “ he says.
You smiling, you begin playing.
Going back and forth between Parker, you concentrated at times.
Parker waiting for you to make your move, he would smile, his face flushing pink.
When it was his turn, sometimes Parker’s brows would furrow in concentration.
“ Hmm.. “ he’d say thinking out loud to himself.
You two progressing through the game slowly, you were in the lead.
Finally reaching the end, you beamed upon winning.
“ Aww golly.. “ Parker pretends to smile disappointedly.
“ Good job. “ he says meaning it.
You smiling, Parker’s eyes rest on you for a moment.
Parker looks away, coughing.
“ So, do you want to do another round or play another game? “ he asks you.
You ask to play another round.
“ Got it. “ Parker says, picking up the board game.
Organizing the supplies, Parker puts all of the pieces away.
Setting the lid on top of the box, Parker gets off the bed.
Putting it back in his backpack, Parker lists off other games you two can play.
You telling him which game you want to play, Parker takes it out.
Sitting on the bed, he opens the lid, taking everything out.
After preparing, Parker picks up the list of rules.
“ Would you like to hear the rules? “ he asks you.
You smile.
Parker opening his mouth, he reads.
Finishing shortly, he sets the list of rules off to the side.
You two beginning another game..
After some time has passed, Parker is in the lead.
The grin on his face only growing, you chuckle.
Placing his last piece, sealing the end of the game, Parker suddenly stands up.
“ HAH! I WIN! “ he happily yells.
Parker sitting back down, he crosses his arms grinning.
You congratulating him, Parker thanks you.
“ Thank you, thank you. “ he says.
“ I must say, you did good yourself. “
You suddenly yawn.
Rubbing your eyes, you wonder what time it is.
Catching a glance from your kitty clock on your dresser, it read hours earlier before the sun rose up.
Parker noticing you look at the clock, he turns around.
“ Golly! We’ve been playing for a long time! “ he says, putting the board back in the box.
“ I didn’t even know it was that late. “
“ Sorry, if I made you lose track of time. “ Parker apologizes, setting the board game pieces inside and the box.
You shake your head, insisting it’s okay.
Parker picking up the board game, he’s about to get off the bed, but stops.
Calling you by your name, he grabs your attention.
Parker’s face turns red.
“ Is it okay if I could hit on you right now? “ he asks you.
“ It’s not anything dirty, but I want your permission. “ Parker rubs the back of his neck, avoiding eye contact with you.
You nod.
Parker takes a deep breath.
“ I find it really adorable when you’re all concentrated while playing board games. “ he says.
“ Your mind is beautiful. . “
You smiling, thanking Parker.
Parker nodding, he coughs, putting away the board game in his backpack.
“ You’re welcome, honey. “ he says.
Parker stands up.
He picks his cup on the dresser.
“ Do you want me to clean up? I’ll take everything downstairs. “ Parker asks you.
You nod.
Picking up and handing Parker your dishes, he takes them.
“ I’ll be back soon. “ he says.
About to leave the room, Parker stops.
“ Is it okay with you if I sleep next to you in the same bed? “ he turns around, asking you.
“ I can sleep on the floor if you’d like. “
You nod.
“ Okay. “ Parker gives you a smile.
Leaving your room, Parker walks down the stairs.
Heading downstairs, his footsteps grow distant from your room.
Spotting Parker’s pillow on the bed, you pick it up.
Setting it beside you, you pull back the covers.
You get inside your bed.
The soft mattress sinking under you, you situate yourself, waiting for Parker.
Coming back shortly, Parker appears.
His hands empty of any dishes, he walks over to the light switch.
“ I’m gonna turn this off. “ Parker says, about to turn it off.
You nod.
Parker turning off the switch, your room goes dark.
Parker moving as a blackened shape, he walks over to the opposite side of the bed.
Pulling back the covers, Parker gets inside.
Laying his head on his pillow, he inches closer to you.
Parker hesitantly wraps his arms around you.
Parker’s warm body against yours, Parker’s face turns red in the darkness.
“ Is this okay? “ he asks you.
You nod.
“ Okay good. “ Parker says.
The room going quiet, you close your eyes.
“ I had a fun time with you tonight. “ Parker says.
“ Did you have a fun time? “ he asks you.
You nod, smiling.
Parker smiles.
“ Goodnight, honey. “ he says, with happiness in his voice.
“ I can't wait to see you in the morning. “
You telling Parker goodnight back, he chuckles.
You closing your eyes, you fall asleep in Parker’s arms.
Parker staying awake, he makes sure you’re asleep.
Closing his eyes, Parker falls asleep soon after you.
You two sleeping soundly through the night, Parker’s arms still around you.
