clone characters when you come to bed late (my headcanons)
a/n: needy babies disguised as soldiers
hunter hears your tiptoeing from farther than you think. nothing gets past him, but it’s not like he was asleep anyway. he always waits until you’re by his side, even though he looks passed out with his forearm draped over his eyes and his chest rising and falling peacefully. you slip under the covers and snuggle into his side. his hand comes down from his face and slowly rubs your back, squeezing a bit to pull you closer. “finally,” he rasps and kisses your forehead softly, letting his lips linger on your skin.
tech stays up until ungodly hours. he glances up from his datapad when you shut the door quietly and ask, “still up?” stifling a yawn with the back of your hand. “waiting for you,” he answers simply, turning his gaze away to rest his things on the nightstand beside him. he startles as he looks back at you, eyes wide in realization of how close you got. you giggle and take his goggles off, kissing him with a gentle pressure that he deepens when his eyes flutter shut and his hand comes around to cradle the back of your head.
wrecker sleeps like a rock that snores. he stirs just slightly when you slide into bed and throw your leg over his side. he mumbles something under his breath, a sleepy gibberish of words that causes you to stroke his face and whisper, “shh…” to soothe him back into the dreams chasing him tonight. he suddenly turns toward you with a slow groan rumbling through his chest and wraps his arms around your figure, nuzzling himself into you. even in his sleep he protects you, his embrace tight and warm.
crosshair has been laying awake for a while, staring up at the ceiling. he sighs and turns over to face the door. but when you do come through, his eyes squeeze shut to pretend he wasn’t waiting. you crawl into bed beside him, your nose touching his as you whisper, “i know you’re awake…” and his eyebrows twitch in response. he exhales softly and pulls you into his chest. you feel his strong, slightly quickening heartbeat against your cheek. “took you long enough,” he mutters into your hair.
echo is on the other side of the bedroom door when you open it, standing with a worried scrunch in his eyebrows. “sorry…” you apologize quietly and shut the door behind you. he shakes his head. “i was just about to come find you,” he tells you honestly. “good thing i’m right on time,” you tease and kiss him on the cheek, moving toward the bed, but you’re suddenly scooped up in his arms as he holds you close, walking both of you forward. “you mean you’re late,” he scolds, kissing your temple.
wolffe is used to being independent—alone, even. that is, until, you came into his life. now, he struggles to fall asleep without you, tossing and turning in discomfort as he wonders where the hell you could be at this hour instead of warming his bed. he sits up with a disgruntled sigh, and you find him at the edge of the bed. he folds his arms over his chest and peers at you, but you speak first, already expecting his annoyance. “i know—i know—i’m sorry…” you step between his legs and cup his face, kissing him softly, “don’t be mad…” his hands come around your waist to pull you into his embrace, and you fall back into the bed together as he murmurs, “don’t let it happen again.”
fox has a petty side. it’s technically how you know he cares. his back is turned to you on his side of the bed as if he wants to send a message of his hurt feelings without actually admitting them. you wrap your arms around him, spooning him gently. he’s completely still as you kiss his backside and whisper, “hey…” in his ear but when he doesn’t say anything, you assume he’s sleeping and pull away a bit, prompting him to drop the act and turn over to lock you into a tight hug. you open your mouth again, but he knows you better than you think and grunts, “not. a. word.”
cody is half-asleep as he stretches his arm out at your proximity, inviting you into the nook of his embrace without opening his eyes. you rest yourself against his chest, both of you falling into your nightly routine without pause even if it took longer than he expected. “getting too busy for me, huh?” he mumbles in a drowsy tone, pressing his nose into your temple with a soft inhale. “never,” you whisper back, leaning up to kiss him on the chin, trailing your lips along his jawline. he smiles a bit. “go to sleep.”
mayday considers himself a patient man. he didn’t think something as trivial as waiting for you to come back to bed would get him almost antsy, disturbing his usually calm, unbothered attitude. you’re surprised to see him awake when he turns over on his side toward you, his messy dark hair falling over his eyes a bit. “c’mere…” he opens the covers for you and envelopes your body into a warm hug, kissing the top of your head. “nice of you to finally join me,” he teases quietly, his voice hoarse with sleep.
rex keeps switching between trying to fall asleep without you to considering if he should bring you to bed. he flops back on his pillow with a sigh, scrubbing his hands down his face slowly. he wonders what’s taking you so long, finally perking up like a needy puppy waiting for its family to come home when you tiptoe inside. “sorry…” you tell him softly as you climb in next to him. he wraps his arms around you and rolls your bodies over, spooning you in a protective embrace. he kisses your ear. “don’t apologize.”
fives opens his eyes when you reach the bed with a slow smile spreading across his expression. he extends an arm to yank you into bed. you land on his chest, and he hugs your body on top of his as he teases, “since when do you watch me sleep?” you roll your eyes, propping yourself up to look down at him, the tips of your noses brushing affectionately. “i wasn’t watching you, dumbass.” he raises his eyebrows and rolls your bodies over, caging you into the bed with a playful kiss. “yeah, right…”
kix fusses over your sleep schedule because according to him, “someone has to do it.” he climbs out of bed, rubbing his eyes before taking your hands in his with a gentle squeeze. “everything okay?” he asks, tired but still finding the energy to worry about you. “mhm,” you nod and pull him back into bed, this time with you. he struggles to keep his eyes open as he adjusts the blankets over your figure, making sure you’re snug and warm. he kisses your forehead and whispers, “just sleep in tomorrow, yeah?”
jesse dozed off while waiting for you, mouth wide open and snoring, but he jolts awake when you finally slip into bed. “huh—what—oh…” his arms are raised slightly before falling around your body, hugging you. he buries his face into your hair, a mix of kissing you and inhaling your scent. “you fell asleep without me?” you tease him, not actually mad but finding it funny when he stammers, “i…uh…no…” he shakes his head, sliding his nose down your temple to whisper in your ear, “i was just resting my eyes…”
hardcase looks asleep in the crazy way he takes up the whole bed with his limbs spread out, tangled in the sheets. you try to crawl into your side of the bed without disturbing him, squealing when his hand flattens on the small of your back and pulls you down against his chest. he makes a low “mmh” sound under his breath. “what took you so long…” he mumbles, rolling your bodies over so that his face is in the crook of your neck. you don’t even bother answering because you know he’s fallen back asleep.
gregor waits for you to get comfortable under the covers before locking you down with a leg over your side. he relaxes into your body with a soft exhale. “mm—missed you…” he mumbles under his breath and presses slow, wet kisses to your cheek. you squirm in his hold, laughing breathlessly as you tell him, “gregor, c’mon, that tickles…” but he kisses you until he falls back asleep again, his lips going slack against your skin, slightly curved into the ghost of the smile he gives you whenever he’s awake.
howzer lays on his stomach with his face pressed into the pillow and his hair swept over his eyes. your side of the bed dips when you sit and hover over him, caressing his forehead as you brush some waves away to get a better look at his face. you startle upon seeing him blink his eyes open, the corners of them crinkling slightly with a smile. his arm shoots out to pull you down, and he rolls over onto his back just in time to kiss you, wrapping you up in a warm embrace that sends tingles down your spine. “gotcha…”
emerie often comes to bed later than you with her workaholic tendencies, so she’s not used to being on the other side of this. she keeps the lamp on the nightstand on as she sits up and reads something to pass the time, her eyes pulling down. you find her fallen asleep just like this, gently taking off her glasses and putting her stuff to the side with a quick kiss to her forehead. “em…let’s go to bed…” you whisper. she snuggles into you in her sleep, sighing softly like she’s relieved you’re here.
