Yeh what else do you when your sick as a dog? :P Well I curl up and write while watching Sven. HAHA. This story is slightly yaoi or it doesn't have to be ! It's the eye of the beholder! If it's Yaoi the couple I was going after was Sven/Keith otherwise- xD enjoy!

Feedback would be GREAT! And if People want I can post my OTHER fics! xD

Being in a strange place away from your home planet was not only awkward but different. It made usual tasks move differently. Situations dealt with in ways it normally wouldn't have gone- wether the new way was humiliating in the end or not. Simple situations- such as sleeping. There are many things that must occur in a paticular order for anyone to go to bed comfortablly. Either of them would agree. Yet- what does one do when that order doesn't or just simply can't happen? It would be a waste not to get any sleep but that didn't calm the fear and uncomfortableness of any of it.

So like any normal human being- as both at least thought they were- they compensated. At first trying not to be obvious about it for fear of the other laughing and then later just throwing away all embarrassment and just dealing with it. When it comes to that level one knows that they've been away from home to long.

Not just about sleep either- other simple every day actions. Eating, Walking Around, etc. If all of this made sense in their minds then how come both were still on separate twin beds their backs facing each other? If not for it being midnight Keith would have just burst out laughing at himself. He was afraid of touching a man or a man for that matter touching him. Ok not in the literal sense just in the sense that he wanted so badly to know that he wasn't alone on this planet.

On the other end of the room Sven sighed inwardly as he kept banging his head into his pillow. He'd worked out many many excuses as to why he wanted to share a bed with Keith- none of them true to say the least but would at least not sound as stupid as "I'm lonely- sleep with me." What was so wrong about sleeping with Keith? Not trying to make kids sleeping but just laying in the same bed sharing the fact that they knew each other and weren't thinking killing the other...?

This whole situation was making Keith wonder weird things about Sven. Like was Sven gay? If not would he like Keith anyway? If he was gay- would he sleep with Keith? Was Sven a Virigin? Thoughts like that drove Keith insane. He'd known Sven for eight Earth years. He knew everything- well almost- about Sven Shirogane. Why would Keith need to know of all things THAT? Now it was beyond just wanting to sleep with Sven- pure childish curiosity was starting to peak out of Keith's mind. What -was- Sven's answers to those questions?

Sven tried to make himself go to sleep. Just ignore the fact that they were on a planet in a broken down castle that if someone sneezed the wrong way it was going down- and go to sleep. Deep sleep. It wasn't happening. This was just wrong in so many ways. He was 21 he did not need to sleep with anyone and expecially not his "commander" who just happened too be two years younger than him. Yes, TWO years younger. If the fact that he was scared to sleep alone wasn't humiliating enough, lets just add that second thought into the mix. It would just be a lot better if Keith would just whine and want Sven over there. Then none of this would be happening and he could sleep.

Keith started to wish Sven would just come over and sit there and stare at him. It was one of the Foreign man's best talents. Keith didn't know why he did it but it always made them comfortable with each other. Yet tonight Sven wasn't doing that. Being a commander he couldn't go over and beg to sleep with Sven- how childish was that? Sven would think he was insane. This wasn't working. He sighed and forced himself up.

Sven groaned and decided to just sit up. He glanced over at Keith and saw Keith was staring at him. Both blushed and looked away before Keith spoke. "Uh...morning?"

"Vit's at least 2:30 am. Not morning." Sven replied in his broken Swedish English.

"It's an expression." Keith responded sitting indian style. "So uh you can't sleep either?"

Sven shook his head crossing his arms and leaning agaisnt the head board. "Obviously not. Vhat about you? Sleep coming not either?"

Keith was to exhausted to correct his friend and nodded. "Yeh- sounds silly- a little scared." Keith took a deep breath and decided to just go with it. He already admitted the hard part. "You know if we slide these beds together we can make one huge bed."

"Yeh and git all of dem to laugh at us?" Sven raised his eye brows.

"We'll just tell them we were cold?" Keith offered.

Sven thought for a moment. With the state this castle was in there were enough holes for it be a swiss cheese slab. So of course the air draft was more than normal. Made sense. He nodded and stood up. Together he and Keith pushed their beds together with a clunk. Climbing back on both felt sudden sleepiness. After covering themselves up both were asleep in moments. Later that night Keith snuggled deep into Sven's arms laying his head in the crook of his friend's neck. He felt safe.

Across the hallway a similar scene had alredy taken place. Lance and Hunk formed a loving sandwhich around Pidge and all were snoring loudly. It wasn't embarrassing anymore. It just was.
