very frequently and it didn't matter whether he was feeling up or down. They simply loved sleepovers. It didn't
matter if it was at Bernard's flat or at Neil's flat. Of course, it made them feel like little children, in a way, but it
didn't matter to them.
Bernard especially loved the cosy warmth that he got out of sleepovers. The warmth of being with his
beloved one, the warmth of the blankets and such were extremely soothing to him. He and Neil were used to
sleeping in sleeping bags, or on the floor with many blankets. This time, they were going to try something that
was a little bit different. They had decided to set up a tent in the middle of Neil's sitting room and set their
sleeping bags in there. "It's going to feel like camping!" Bernard cheerfully thought as he was on his way to Neil's
flat.
"Hi, Bernard!" Neil exclaimed, letting Bernard in through the door.
"I brought my stuffed animal with me," Bernard sheepishly admitted, showing off a teddy bear he had brought.
Neil smiled gently at his boyfriend. He adored Bernard's childishness. He could be as childish as can be, yet still
be a responsible adult. Neil adored those qualities in him.
"I've got the tent set up, if you want to look inside of it," Neil offered.
"OK," Bernard replied.
The tent was a rather large one and Bernard stared at it in wonder, thinking, "How could have this tent fit
inside the sitting room?"
Neil sensed what Bernard was thinking and chuckled, "I somehow managed to fit the tent in."
"It's lovely, Neil. It feels like we're camping, only we're much safer because we're not out in the wilderness,"
Bernard replied.
"Well, we've got so much shopping and such to do tomorrow that, I'm afraid I'm getting tired," Neil slowly
yawned.
"I'm sleepy, too," Bernard replied, clutching his teddy bear.
"You look so adorable when you act like a little boy," Neil told him.
Bernard smiled again. He bit his lips in a shy, boyish manner.
"I see you've got your pyjamas on already and I already have mine on as well," Neil glanced at Bernard.
He replied, "Yep, Neil."
The two men got ready for bed and stepped into the tent.
The tent was a cosy one, with two sleeping bags, two pillows and numerous blankets in there. Neil also put
in Bernard's beloved teddy bear in there as well.
It was basically a very similar setting to their ordinary sleepovers, except that they had a tent surrounding them.
Bernard innocuously looked at Neil.
"Do you think we have too many sleepovers?"
"No, not really, and why should we care what other people think?" Neil softly whispered.
Bernard nodded. He was already too lethargic to think about other things.
"Good night, Bernard," Neil hugged him.
"...Night...," Bernard mumbled.
