Sleepy Beauty - Matt Rempe
Summary: Matt has never met someone who sleeps as much as his girlfriend
Author's note: I'm choosing to reject buzz cut!Matt Rempe and will continue to write him with a headful of hair :D Also this is for my sleepy girls iykyk. This is entirely inspired by myself who slept for 8 hours through the night, managed to wake up and stay awake for 2 hours before taking a 3 hour nap after working 2 and a half days (with a day off between each of those days) 😜

When Matt met y/n a couple years ago, she made it clear that she is not super active though she tries to stay fit and maintain a heathy diet. She loves the simpler things in life.
Like sleep.
At first he assumed she just meant that she valued an undisturbed sleep. But it didn't take him long to realise that she really just values getting as much sleep as humanly possible.
She's like a cat. Or a newborn baby.
There's not a time of day she deems inappropriate to choose to sleep or nap.
At one point he genuinely thought she was in denial about narcolepsy till he met her parents and they assured him they'd had her tested after some stubborn and aggressive teen years. But the woman just loves sleep.
She does love being awake too, she does plenty of things outside of sleeping but it truly is the love of her life. Matt comes a close second.
But really it just means that moments like coming home from an away game, he comes home to the most cuddly person on the planet. Though he has to be careful of how he chooses to approach her.
With Matt also having such a massive body it means they have a huge bed and when y/n is alone on the bed, she looks particularly tiny.
He sighs gently placing his stuff down and stripping out of his clothes since he knows the rule. No outside clothes on the bed.
He pulls the blanket up to slide underneath with her, and though it takes her a couple minutes to ease from the depth of her sleep. His arms have already pulled her towards himself realising she's actually dressed in one of his shirts, probably one he's never even got the chance to wear yet.
"Hey, baby." Matt greets softly while y/n smiles tiredly at him opting to kissing him in greeting as he hooks his hand under her knee and pulls her leg up over him. "We can just stay in bed for a bit longer."
Y/n nods tiredly more than happily closing her eyes as her face squishes into his peck while Matt smiles managing to lean down and kiss the top of her head.
The body heat radiating off of Matt always sends y/n into the deepest sleeps and he knows it's practically like a sedative for her.
It takes a couple hours for her to really show more signs of life than just breathing but eventually y/n wakes up and smiles seeing Matt scrolling through his phone.
"Hello." Y/n greets softly before she hugs into him a little more tightly.
"Hey, how was your nap?" Matt asks gently rubbing her back despite knowing the risk of that being like an off switch for the young woman.
"It was good. Better when you got here." Y/n smiles tiredly then seeming to to decide she won't let herself sleep again as she slides her leg further over him till she is straddling him and sits up, hands resting on his abdomen to keep herself steady. "How was your trip home?"
"It was pretty good. Nothing out the usual." Matt shrugs before linking their hands allowing her to lean her weight onto his hands and kiss him softly.

"What's your plan for the day?" Matt asks as he gets ready to head out for a morning skate.
Y/n looks slightly disheveled and completely out of her comfort zone, they had a late night due to Matt not being able to keep his hands off of her. Then he woke her up managing to tempt her out with the promise of pancakes and bacon for breakfast.
"I think I might go back to sleep." Y/n grunts before taking a mouthful of pancake while Matt smiles.
Y/n does actually work but it's only part time since Matt assured her that he'd take care of her and support her financially, but her part time work tends to be the evening shift anyway since most games are later in the day and she actually works at a sports bar.
"I have a shift later." Y/n mumbles earning a small nod.
"You want me to wake you up?"
"Please." Y/n smiles tiredly as he hums and moves around to kiss her softly. "You sure you have to go to the skate? We could cuddle."
"If I'm back early I'll be right back to cuddle." Matt promises before she offers him a bite of her pancake which he more than happily takes. "I'm sorry for keeping you up later."
"It's ok. I wasn't complaining at the time." Y/n grins then standing up and finding he's already taken her plate for her. "Oh are you cleaning up too?"
"I kept you up and woke you up early. I'm tucking you back into bed in 2 minutes." Matt declares which makes her smile and move over to hug him from behind while he quickly washes her dishes before he picking y/n up and throwing her over his shoulder with a smack to her ass as y/n squeaks.
"Matt!" Y/n laughs before she goes dead weight on him.
Matt does as promised tossing her down on the bed, though he disappears into the bathroom for a few seconds and reappears with a facewipe.
"Don't want you napping with pancake and bacon residue on your face."
"You are the best boyfriend ever." Y/n smiles as he wipes around her mouth before leaning over and pecking her lips. "Thank you."
"You're welcome baby-but we're not done." Matt declares as he moves to pick up one of his abandoned hoodies before shoving it down over her head and managing to pull her arms through before he gently pushes her back.
"Your love is kind of aggressive." Y/n jokes as he throws the blanket over her and begins wedging it under her body to keep her tightly bound in before he gently taps her nose.
"All cosy"
"Yes."
"I'm gonna head out. Sleep well baby."
"I always do."

If there's one time of year and one place that y/n thrives in her napping. It's by the lake in the middle of summer.
Y/n is practically purring as she lies on the sun lounger, tummy down, arms under her head with her hair tossed up into a bun. The bikini is providing the maximum amount of coverage she'll agree to.
Matt has spent the day flipping her from her stomach to her back while she slept the day away, getting up only to rehydrate when he poked her about it and eat when he would bring her whatever snacks he thought she'd like.
"Baby, the sun's starting to set." Matt states but y/n only grunts making it clear she's really not going to wake up. "Ok, alright."
Y/n is dead weight as he scoops her up from the lounger and he smiles as she nuzzles into him.
She did actually get out on the boat with him and they've been jet-skiing but as soon as she planted herself down, she was unmoved from that spot aside from Matt's rotations of her body.
Matt places her down in the bed before heading back down to spend time with the rest of their friends who came to the lake for the summer with them. Most of them hockey players, obviously. Most of them have an understanding that y/n will join if she wants to but sleep really comes before them.
So it's no surprise that she doesn't appear for the rest of the night and when Matt appears upstairs he finds y/n nuzzled into his pillow making him wiggle it out of her hold before sliding in and falling asleep with her.
And she sleeps through till morning before waking up first, which isn't unusual when she's essentially slept for over 18 hours.
"Where you going, baby?" Matt sighs sleepily when he feels her slipping out his hold.
"I need to pee."
"Come straight back."
"Ok." Y/n smiles leaning over and kissing him in a similar fashion to what he always does with her when he's the one leaving.
She does maybe hurry a little before returning to him and climbing back into the bed.
"How long did I sleep?"
"Too long. I started to miss you." Matt smiles, eyes still closed as he feels y/n planting a few kisses on his cheek.
"I'm sorry, you could've came and got me. I wouldn't have minded."
"No...you did your grunt when I brought you in from inside, I know better than to disturb you when you're in a grunty type of sleep." Matt teases earning an eye roll, though they both know he's not entirely joking. "Sleep takes precedence."
"I've trained you so well."
"More like you've terrified me." Matt chuckles while y/n grins unapologetically.
"Then I've done it right."
Matt hums before finally rolling over and checking the time where he groans.
"Baby, it's like 6 in the morning. I hope you can sleep some more because we are not waking up yet."
"Don't have to ask me twice." Y/n grins before he smiles and they both nuzzle down together, Matt's body wrapping around y/n as she practically passes out and falls asleep with any effort.
