"Me neither," says Carmy, quiet, into his neck. "But I dunno how to do like, anything else."
He feels a little raw, like Richie's kisses have abraded him, scored his skin. After a second he wiggles off to the side a little. He kind of wants to fuck again, not a real feeling of arousal but a compulsion to seek sensation that takes him out of his own head for even a few moments.
"If we set an alarm for five we can go again before work," Carmy suggests, shifting his thigh over Richie, draped on his chest, clearly not intending to let him go anywhere, snuggling the fuck in and listening to the soft steady hush of the rain. It's good. He feels, terrifyingly, very good.
"Jesus, five?" Like he's got anything better to do. Like there's anything else he'd rather do than pin Carmy down in the blue light of dawn and relearn him all over again. "Sure, just wake me up, man."
Richie keeps his arm draped over Carmy, contemplating whether he can get away with stealing another cigarette before he passes out. Probably not. He draws idle circles on Carmy's skin instead, which is almost as good when it comes to being self-soothing, another little discovery about himself on top of all the other discoveries that have taken place this evening. No wonder he feels like he could sleep for a week.
The storm growls above them, not so angry any more. After a beat or two, Richie plucks at the blankets, whatever he can pull up over the two of them. He settles back on the pillows. Then, belatedly remembers:
"Yeah," Carmy says sleepily, even though he hadn't noticed or cared. "But you brought your dick, which is better." That's all he'd been thinking about when he texted.
This, though, an embarrassment of riches. His face close enough to Richie's pit he's breathing in the smell of him, but in a way he likes, warm and familiar. They've never done this, even platonically, slept piled onto each other, but it kind of feels like they have, because it's how he used to sleep with Mikey.
Carmy doesn't get enough sleep, so the moment his body gets the green light he's gone, snoring softly in under a minute. He wakes again with the alarm, has to roll out of the sweaty cocoon of their bodies to whack at it before coming back; it's cold out there, and Richie is so warm. Last night's desire to get off again has faded into a simple, sleepy affection, and he trails his fingers over Richie's skin with his eyes closed amd mouth quirked foolishly.
Tired as he is, Richie sleeps soundly and without dreams, not stirring even when Carmy rolls away to deal with the alarm and waking up almost in the same position he went to sleep in. Awareness arrives slowly, confused at first when he blinks his eyes open for a moment and finds himself in a different bed, then he takes a breath, smells and feels Carmy, and remembers.
He murmurs softly, lifting his hand to blindly feel his way up Carmy's shoulder until he can pet his hand over his sweaty curls, vaguely stroking them back from the vicinity of his face.
"Hey, cousin," he croaks out, then has to turn his head and cough a couple times. "Fuck. Gotta stop smoking."
