Send “tired?” to notice my sleep-deprived muse nodding off | Not Accepting | @formidarekind
It’s been while since they’ve been able to do this— have one of their little movie nights. They’re in Sky’s room this time, the two of them comfortably side-by-side on her bed as a small old television plays an even older movie. At least it’s a different one this time, having finally gotten their hands on a couple others for variety.
It’s about halfway through when Negan starts to become unusually quiet, and he doesn’t notice he’s nodding off until his head’s slowly drooping forward and Sky catches him in the act.
“— What?” He snaps awake, blinking the heaviness from his eyelids. The movie’s a few minutes ahead from where he remembers. When he realizes he’s been dozing off he chuckles, looks over to her with a tired grin.
“Me, tired? Naw. Whatever would make you think that?”
He jokes but he really is exhausted, more than he previously thought. Sometimes he fails to notice until he’s finally gotten the chance to sit down and get comfortable. And here, with her, temporarily away from his duties, he’s more comfortable than he’s been in a while.
And so Negan leans over and rests against her, just in case it happens again.
