Sky smiled even more at Alex's reply. Tonight was going to be amazing, Sky could feel it. Even if Alex had to go home, it was still going to be amazing, though it'd be even better if he could stay the night. "What about your parents?" Sky asked, a hint of concern in his voice. "How late can you stay, or can you stay the night?" Sky asked, knowing that Alex probably wouldn't have the answer. Hopefully, Alex's parents wouldn't ruin this moment and say no to staying late or staying the night. "Oh, we can either run to the store and get snacks or cook something up, it's up to you really." Skylar said happily as he sat up. He didn't let go of Alex's hands at all, and he kept his gaze and focus on Alex. With a smile on his face, he was ready for whatever. Sleeping would have been what he was going to do if Alex wasn't there, so it was good that he was. Sky knew that he'd end up falling asleep on Alex again, and a part of him felt bad about it, but he was just so tired.

Alex smiled back at Skylar and felt a flutter in his chest at the thought of tonight being special. Just him and Skylar. The question about his parents though made his heart sink a little. It was always tricky, navigating his family's expectations. He wanted nothing more than to stay with Skylar, to be fully present in this moment without the weight of his family's rules hanging over him. But the reality was, he couldn't just forget them, as much as he sometimes wished he could. Pausing for a moment he tried to push down the anxiety that crept up at the thought of his parents finding out. "I'm not sure yet." He admitted quietly, his voice laced with a hint of frustration. "it depends on how late it gets. I mean, my parents don't exactly like me staying out too late regardless of whether I give them a heads up or not." He said and bit at his lip. He was torn between wanting to stay and the fear of dealing with their disapproval. "Honestly, I'd love to stay the night." Alex continued, meeting Skylar's gaze with a small and hopeful smile. "Let me call them and ask." He said though he wasn't entirely hopeful. If it were any of his other friends they likely would say yes, but seeing as he was with someone they hadn't yet met he didn't see them letting him stay too late, let alone the night. When Skylar mentioned snacks or cooking, Alex smiled more than happy about the change of topic. "Hmm, cooking sounds nice." He said with a chuckle. "Maybe we could do both? We could run to the store, get some drinks and a few snacks, maybe some ingredients if we need them." He offered.
