𑣲 saturday, 04:00am. 《 not proof-read i'm sleepy ash 》
ᚑ ᚑ you haven't slept properly for these past few days. you're pretty much aware that you missed most of the moonlit nights by forcing yourself to stay awake, instead of getting your deserved rest.
james noticed. of course he would. he always does whenever it comes to you. it's always, always so obvious enough even though you made some attempts to make up any sort of excuse, which obviously doesn't work on him.
he did consider of scolding you for it, telling you that you shouldn't sacrifice your very much needed slumber even for a job. or worse, whenever he is away on a mission and clearly missing from home, you would've do it again and again while being unbothered.
simply because he isn't there at home with you. no one else to reprimand your stubborn self.
but today is different. he got a week off, at least— that's what he's informed with, and he's determined to make you fix your horrible sleeping schedule which is a clearly obvious behaviour by now.
"sweetheart, come to bed."
"james, i can't, i—" you tried to refuse while your eyes are already in a swollen-ish state, shaking your head slightly but it didn't last when he ultimately, and swiftly lifts you into a bridal style to bed, earning a surprised squeal from you.
"i won't accept any refusal from you, love. you've been sitting there for hours."
"the bed is starting to get cold without you."
every words that you wanted to speak out as a reply dies down in your throat, beginning to feel guilty as james settles you properly next to him, pulling you closer to the natural warmth he seemed to provide as always.
he never once lets go of his hold around you, planting a kiss atop of your forehead and gently run his thumb along your features— whichever he could reach.
and when he stopped just near where your eyes are, he tenderly attempts to soothe the swollen spot around it; where at this point your eyes has shut on its own from his touch alone.
dear god, you're genuinely, utterly exhausted. he has every right to be mad and scold you for whenever he wants to, and he truly did.
but not for long, no. he couldn't stay annoyed at you no matter how much he wants to at times.
he fears he loves you a little too much. he couldn't even contain the small chuckle from escaping past his lips upon witnessing the sight of you, already falling into your needed slumber just within a few seconds.
with a final peck upon your cheeks, your forehead, and even your nose, he murmurs a simple 'rest well, darling' closely for your hearing only.
even when you failed to realize it as much due to your current state.

Sometimes people tend to belittle fiction, or fanfiction or fandom as something only for young people.
Let me tell you that somehow, being in the wonderful 007 fan world, and especially Lyutsifer's is really having an impact on me.
My imagination skyrocketted, made me discovered new things (and new ways to infodump my bestie) I somehow learn to resist stress even more efficiently and become less attached to little things that were bothering me.
