Spike sleepily wrapped his arms around Discord's midsection.
"Stay."
Discord looked down at the dragon, who had buried his face into his wiry brown fur. "I really should be shoving off. If Twilight catches me in your room, I'll be receiving a lecture the likes of which none has ever known. Don't put me through that. You're my boyfriend, you're supposed to love me, not allow me to be aggressively given a shovel talk by your mommy."
Spike's face scrunched up. "Ugh, Discord, don't call her my 'mommy'! It's-" He flushed. "-it's awkward to hear that said out loud."
"So, now you understand how awkward it would be for me to have to sit through that, correct?"
Spike gripped his boyfriend harder. "C'mon! You never cuddle with me!" He complained.
"I'm quite certain that's untrue. I cuddled with you like...a while ago."
"..."
"Oh don't look at me like that, your face'll get stuck that way and then neither of us will be satisfied."
"You would've teleported away if you really wanted to leave. You wanna cuddle with me too, I can tell, man."
The chaos spirit rolled his eyes so hard they spun around in his head, and upon re-settling, his pupils were shaped like cherries. He folded his arms and turned up his snout. "For all you know, maybe I just don't feel like teleporting. Maybe I have carpal tunnel. Maybe I'm just sleepy."
"Well if you're sleepy, then sleep with me! C'mon, please..."
"I'm not entirely sure you're ready for that kind of step in our relationship."
Spike paused, as if thinking on Discord's words, then looked up at the draconequus, who was currently sporting a large and obnoxiously shit-eating grin, before blushing and smacking his claws against Discord's underbelly. "Pervert. S'not what I meant."
"Ah, there's that cute little blush."
"Hmph yeah, I'm soooo super cute. You should definitely get in bed with me and cuddle until sunrise, y'know?"
"Oh fine...I'm leaving as soon as you fall asleep."
Spike smirked and hugged him closer. "C'mon, gimme a kiss." He poked his lips out. "You know you wanna~"
Discord sighed and teleported from the dragon's grip, only to reappear on his bed. "Well? Let the snuggling begin!"
The dragon grinned, spread his wings, and flew towards the bed at full speed. Discord's eyes widened and he only managed to stammer out, "N-Now wait a moment, do-"
Spike crashed onto the bed, and by extension, Discord, the both of them letting out an 'oomph' upon contact. Spike giggled uncontrollably.
"Snnrk...heheheh...g-gotcha...you should see the look on your face dude."
Discord looked down at him, a soft, genuine smile on his face. "You should see the look on yours..." He snapped his fingers, and a floating mirror appeared in front of Spike.
His cheeks were flushed, his pupils dilated, and a huge, happy grin lit up his face.
"It's breathtaking, if I'm being honest. I almost want to take a picture."
Spike looked away and hugged Discord again, this time around the chest. "...Don't say embarrassing stuff like that, c'mon..."
"Oh, is wittle Spikey Wikey feeling flustered?" Discord teased, paw patting the dragon's head.
Spike whined. "Ugh, you're such a douche..."
"You're the one who wanted me to be all snuggly and cuddly with you. Never forget that this wonderful, cuddly, semi-mammalian body is attached to me, Spike."
"Yeah, how could I forget." He scooted up until his head fitted rather snugly beneath the draconequus' own. He had gotten taller, but Discord still dwarfed him in size. "Still...you're really warm. Way better than sleeping alone. Feels good. Feels...right." Spike mused, eyes feeling heavy.
"Well I hope you're satisfied. Trapping me here until you finally doze off."
"Oh yeah. Totally satisfied."
"The mighty Discord, brought to his knees by the snuggles of a teen dragon." The chaos spirit threw his lion arm over his face dramatically.
Spike chuckled. "I know right? You've gone soft, old man."
Discord's face scrunched up, folding in on itself until it created a singularity, before popping back to normal. "Or maybe you've gotten exceptionally good at finagling my heartstrings."
"Or maybe I'm so cute you can't even resist me." Spike replied in a sing-song voice.
"Hmph! Hmph, I say! 'Can't resist'? Please. I could leave right now if I wanted!"
Spike frowned. "If you did that...I'd be really, really sad..." He replied morosely, eyes downcast.
Discord let out a frustrated huff. "See!? Finagling! Heartstrings! An expert!"
Spike snickered and pecked a kiss to the chaos spirit's neck. "How about that? Did that, uh, finagle your heartstrings?"
Discord's eyes narrowed. "As a matter of fact, yes." He wrapped his arm around the dragon. "Would you mind falling asleep already? You're already snuggling me against my will, why must you prolong my captivity?"
"Mm...I dunno dude. Maybe I just wanna snuggle my big, dumb, cuddly boyfriend for as long as possible."
Discord smiled before his face fell and his eyes narrowed. "Wait, dum-"
"Maybe it just gets...a little lonely at night in the castle. Maybe I want you to stay here because I love you." Spike said softly, eyes a bit more solemn than before.
Discord's expression softened and he squeezed the dragon closer to him. "...I suppose those reasons are as good as any."
Spike pressed another kiss to Discord's neck. "Thanks..."
"Hm. I mean what self-respecting boyfriend would I be if I didn't share some gooey, mushy, squishy affectionate gestures with you?"
Spike giggled sluggishly. "...Eyes feel real heavy."
"Then sleep."
"If I sleep, you'll leave."
Discord frowned, before putting on an uneasy smile. "Well, I mean. I'm the Spirit of Disharmony! Who's to say I won't change my mind? Why, just today I changed my mind 30 times!"
Spike's upper eyelids slowly fell lower. "Hm, I guess..."
"It's...it's alright to sleep. I won't leave right away..."
Spike hummed. "Love you..."
A minute or two past, and the light, airy snoring came, the dragon drifting off into dreamland.
Discord wrapped both arms around Spike, hugging the smaller creature closer to him and smiling a wide, warm smile. "Love you too."
Maybe staying until sunrise wasn't too much of an inconvenience.
