Sleep.
Intro: Sleep... that's all there is.
Cozy……. Familiar…. Home…. So tired, it’d been such a long day. A nice long stretch followed by a yawn once again reminding you it was bedtime, but you didn’t want to move from your couch. Your blanket was nice and warm, and you were waiting for someone. He’d be here any time now…. Another yawn, another round of fighting to stay awake. Why were you staying awake again??? You wanted to stay up and see him, but it was late, and you found yourself unable to stay awake any longer. Your eyes began to close against your very quickly diminishing will, and you soon found yourself floating in a blissful limbo between sleep and consciousness. A chuckle, deep and rough, greeted your ears sometime later. You didn’t care to know the time. All you knew was that you were happy to hear it. Strong…… strong arms carefully lifted you from your spot on the couch, holding you close to a well-toned, muscular chest, a steady, thumping heart ringing melodiously through your ears. Soft….. You felt incredible softness embrace your body as the strong arms unwound from around you. As they pulled away, you felt yourself absentmindedly reaching out for them again. They made you feel safe and secure like you could fall apart in them, and not one piece of you would slip through. Warm…. A feeling of incredible warmth overtook you as you felt a blanket being pulled over your prone form. You could tell just from the feel that this was your favorite blanket, after all…… he’d given it to you. You nuzzled into the soft material, hearing the chuckle from earlier once more before you felt yourself being pulled forwards, the sound of a heartbeat filling your ears once again. A slight pressure on your head made you slightly more aware that someone was stroking your hair. Your eyes opened very slowly, barely able to make out the person in front of you, but you already knew who it was.
“Mmm….. John?”
“Shh….. go back to sleep, Dove.”
“But you jus got back..” You mumbled sleepily, your words slurring together, “I wanna hear how it went….”
“In the morning, Dove, your barely managing to stay awake.” John chuckled, gently kissing your forehead, “You shouldn’t have stayed up waiting for me….”
“I wanted to, though.” You tiredly sighed, shuffling closer to John, draping one arm over his waist as your legs intertwined, “Missed you..”
“I missed you too……. But right now, you need to sleep. We can talk in the morning.”
Your eyes were already falling shut as he spoke, too tired to stay open any longer,
“Love you…” You whispered before falling back under the haze of sleep, John smiling as he placed a gentle kiss on your lips.
“Sleep well, Dove….”
