Wyatt twisted uncomfortably on the bed, certain it had gained a new and torturous bump since last night. He sighed, choosing to ignore it for now by scooting closer to Glitch's side of the bed and draping himself over the other man.
He was soon dislodged by a bony elbow into his chest and a disgruntled huff from his bed partner. Cain grumbled and rolled over. Wincing as the previously discovered bump made itself known into his kidneys, he slid out from under the warm covers and stuck his hand under the thin mattress. He was extremely confused to have his hand run into the sharp, hard edges of something.
Glancing across the bed to the sleeping Glitch with suspicion, Cain stuck his arm deeper and pulled out what apparently was a secret library. Several hardcover books fell to the floor with a loud thunk, narrowly missing his bare toes. "The hell..."
Glitch woke with a snort, frowning across the empty patch of bed. "Who's there?"
"It's just me, sweetheart," Cain answered off-handedly, picking up one of the books that had landed next to his foot. "You been stashing these books under here for a reason?" He asked with a frown, holding up a well worn sample featuring an almost obscene picture of a scantily clad woman and a nearly naked man. "Something you want to tell me?"
"Oh!" Glitch sat up hurriedly, slithering across to hang his head over the edge of the bed, eyeing the stack. "I found those in Ambrose's private library today, aren't they just fantastic?"
"In what way?" Wyatt asked incredulously. "They're trashy romance novels, Glitch. I find it hard to believe a man of your social status would read these willingly."
"What? Oh, no," Glitch shook his head, making his wild hair twitch. "The thing is they aren't from the O.Z. They talk about very interesting places and technology that we don't have here; I think I must have slipped across to the Other Side to get them. You know, I rather suspect that some of my inventions were based on things I saw over there."
Cain grunted as he sat on the edge of the bed next to Glitch, who was still sprawled across it sideways. "So, of all the choices you had to get inspiration from you chose seedy sex books?"
"Well, as I'm sure you're aware, I was also a lonely person," Glitch rolled over and huffed, crossing his arms over his chest and tangling the sheets around his hands and arms.
Wyatt leaned down and gave Glitch a consoling, if upside down, kiss. "I hope you don't think you need these anymore," he said softly, setting the book down with the others on the floor. "Unless you were reading them for...other kinds of inspiration?"
Glitch grinned up at him and hooked his hand behind Cain's neck, pulling him down for another awkward kiss. "Books are great," he answered enigmatically.
