[He's slow to wake. Especially lately since everyone's gone off to fight the giants and that even includes his teachers at school. So basically it's like a winter holiday and Jamie does take advantage of it by sleeping in later than usual.
That's why when he opens his eyes and sees Jack's white hair resting on his blankets, Jamie just watches the Guardian sleep for a moment. Really, this is rare. Being the kid in the apartment Jamie is usually the one that's asleep first. Staying up late is hard. He doesn't get to see most of the Guardians sleeping, except for Sandy. Guess it was part of the whole spirit thing they had going on before coming here. So seeing Jack asleep is a rare thing.
After a good five minutes of just watching he finally sits up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes while yawning loudly. He leans over to put his face down by Jack's.]
Jack. [It's a whisper. Jamie doesn't want to wake the Guardian if he's deep asleep.]
[And finding Jack asleep is extra rare, since he prefers finding some spot for himself instead of using an actual bed, usually downstairs on the ice. Old habits die hard, and as much as he loves having a family around, he also needs his space.
That's why he gets startled when Jamie touches him and calls his name - even in Asgard, he's managed to many of those cozy spots. After blinking in surprise and realizing what happened, his look softens at the sight of Jamie.]
Hey, kiddo. [His turn to rub his eyes.] I woke you up? Sorry.
[For a while Jamie was pretty sure that Jack didn't sleep but then more Guardians showed up and though it was rare he did catch them sleeping sometimes. Especially after all of the preparations for the winter holidays were done.
Now that Jack was awake, he sat back on the bed. A grin grows over his face and Jamie can't help but laugh.]
[Well, Jack didn't sleep at home except for very rare cases, and here he still doesn't do it that much. But at times like this, where his mind is tiring him as much as his body, well... stupid human body.
He tries to cover his mood with a grin (not a very convincing one) and ruffles Jamie's hair.]
And how do you know I didn't wake you up first? [He can make a competition out of everything, don't let him.] If you wanna sleep some more, I can let you, no problem.
[You weren't supposed to find me. I need to leave and brood.]
[One day Jack is going to find himself passed out somewhere with the way he sleeps. Probably already does.
Jamie rolls his eyes at the hair ruffling but at the same time he's smiling.]
I heard you snoring. It was really loud. [Totally teasing. It's followed by a yawn and stretching though.] No, I'm awake now. We should go play or something.
[He doesn't know what Jack was doing sleeping half on his bed but it's up to Jamie to make sure the Guardian is okay.]
[It can't be worse than that time the polar bears found him... ahem.
He chuckles at the teasing, using it to cover up his sad mood. He always likes to play with the children but he isn't if his mind is in it right now.]
Guess we can't sleep together ever again then. Can't risk waking you up again. [He stands up and takes a couple of steps back to give Jamie room to get off the bed.] Don't you wanna have breakfast first?
Jack laughs too, using his Telekinesis to put the sheets in place and the stuffed animals in a neat pile. He isn't exactly one for order, but he doesn't want Jamie ending up with the task later. No working kids in his presence!]
If you think that's bad, you should hear a bunch of a sleeping yetis. [He tried to sneak past them while they slept too, of course.
The breakfast excuse is not bought and Jack isn't sure what else to do. He sighs.] You sure? I don't wanna hear the others complain about not feeding you right later.
[He can't keep his eyes off it as his bed makes itself. If he didn't know better he'd think that's exactly what happened. Instead Jamie grabs clothes and pulls them on.]
Do they snore worse than North? [Jamie can imagine a bunch of sleeping yetis.
They're some of the worst snorers I've ever met, and they do it all together, soooo...
[Yeah, it's terrible. you can't hear the sound of your own voice over them. But they still managed to know Jack was trying to sneak past them, so obviously they knew what they were doing. Not that Jack is admitting that in front of Jamie, please.
Jamie is getting ready to play but Jack is only ready to leave. Why did he have to fall asleep? Why? It was supposed to be just a quick check!]

You've got it backwards. I woke you up.

He looks solemnly up at Jack.]
Not when you snore louder than North and Sandy combined. [Okay, no he can't hold it and bursts out laughing.] I'm not hungry yet.

[Light sleepers, those yetis. Now Jamie has this thought of recording North snoring and using it when playing with the figure he got for Christmas.]
Not until lunch. We can hang out until then.

[He's not getting out of this one, is he? And he can't tell Jamie no. He nods, reluctant, and also sighs. Not very enthusiastic today.]
Alright... what do you wanna do?
