Hey, I was wondering if you could write something about phantom? There's barely anything out there 🥺
Hey anon! I would love to <3 This is a little Phantom x Reader for you :)
I’m sorry it’s so short! I don’t know why I struggled so much with this one, got intense writers block. Hope you enjoy!

You’re sat on a couch in the common area, mindlessly flicking through the channels on the TV. It’s late, and once again, you just couldn’t drift off to sleep. Sighing softly to yourself, you stand up from the couch and make your way to the kitchen to make yourself a cup of tea. You hear shuffling footsteps enter the kitchen and you turn around, seeing Phantom stood in the doorway with a sleepy smile on his face.
“Hey, Phantom.” You mumble quietly, too tired to acknowledge him properly. Phantom is still pretty new, freshly summoned from the pit; and he had seemed pretty quiet as he took his time to settle in.
“Hi… Why are you up?” He replied sleepily, his tail swishing behind him slowly.
“Oh, uh, I couldn’t sleep.” You answer, taking a sip of your tea as you look at the ghoul. His wavy hair was a mess and his eyes were half-lidded, like he just woke up. He had a blanket wrapped around his shoulders as he tilted his head at you.
“I hope I didn’t wake you…” You add, sheepishly.
Phantom shrugs in response, looking at you with that same sleepy smile.
“Don’t worry, just wanted to check on you.” He says, stifling a yawn.
Making your way out of the kitchen, you sit back down on the couch with a sigh. The couch dips next to you as Phantom sits down, immediately snuggling into your side. You let out a chuckle; you always adored how affectionate the ghouls can be, especially when they’re tired.
“You aren’t gonna go back to bed?” You ask curiously, your hand coming up to run your fingers through his hair.
“Nah… M’gonna keep you company.” He mumbles, draping his arm over your waist as he settles in against you. As you stroke his hair, you can hear a low purr rumbling in his chest. You let yourself lean back into the couch, pulling Phantom slightly closer for comfort.
“Anythin’ bothering you? Or you just couldn’t sleep?” He asks, his voice quiet but sweet.
“Eh, I don’t know. Nothing in particular…” You respond, still running your fingers through his hair.
“You sure?” He mumbles, turning his head to nuzzle his nose to your neck slightly, making you shiver.
“M’sure…” You reply, your voice barely above a whisper. The ghoul hums quietly, nuzzling his nose up closer to your jaw as his hand gently strokes across your side. You sigh contentedly, relaxing into his touch. He purrs quietly, staying snuggled into your side.
It doesn’t take long before you’re both asleep on the couch.
