Rowing the Rarepair Rowboat: Rick Barber x Frank Matthews (Tracy Beaker Returns/The Dumping Ground)

Requested by @theshslshipper

Rick tosses and turns on the floor. Part of him is resentful of Tyler for not the first time in his life; did he really have to choose this week to be crashing at Liam and Frank's as well? If he wasn't here, he'd probably be sleeping comfortably on the much softer sofa in the living room.

There's a snort from the bed and he sits upright, shooting Frank a glare. 'Amusing, is it?'

Frank nonchalantly shrugs a shoulder. Of course he has little care; he's tucked up nice and cosy in his big double bed, hand beneath his pillows, duvet wrapped around him. There's another strike of envy, but it's harder to be mad about that when Frank's done him the courtesy of even allowing him to stay with him while he's in town. He could've easily turned him away.

'A bit,' Frank says.

Rick rolls his eyes and drops back onto the floor with a slight thud and groan. He momentarily forgot there wasn't going to be soft cushioning beneath the two flimsy pillows.

'Alright, that's enough.' Rick peeks an eye open to look at Frank, watching him shift in his bed then motions at it. 'Come on. There's enough room.'

'You sure?' he asks, but he's already climbing off of the floor and onto the bed as Frank nods. He wriggles a little bit to get comfortable, then gives another, happier groan. 'Thanks.'

'No problem,' Frank says with a smile. 'But if you snore, you're back on the floor. Got it?'

Rick grins. 'Got it.'
