seeker is up late at night, trying to figure something out or studying, when rhapsody comes up from behind them with a cup of tea, kisses them on the head, and wishes them good night.
domino is in a bad mood and is mumbling a list of things he doesn’t like about himself under his breath. seeker notices and chimes in with a way longer list of things they like/love about domino.
seeker is waking up in the middle of the night, shaking, breathing heavily, maybe even crying. domino/or locksley wakes up as well, immediately knows what is happening and starts cuddling seeker.
After a long day, seeker and jynx sleepily crawl into bed with grace, who is absorbed in a book. jynx lays her head on graces’s shoulder, and occasionally reads a page of graces’s book while lapsing into a deep sleep. Once grace finds out jynx and seeker both are asleep, she gently lays down next to them, covering them up, and turning out the light.
