Lay with me.
I have had this idea ever since I started watching The Good Doctor and I am finally acting on it. I kinda like the idea of this but unfortunately, it’s very short. Nevertheless, hope you can enjoy this!

“Y/N, this feels really nice.” Shaun mutters, staring at you with an expression that rarely ever appears on his face
“Y/N, I like this.” Shaun mutters, breaking your train of thoughts. You hum in response. “This feels really nice.” He continues as he stares up at the sky through the roof window which is punctuated by a multitude of stars.
Shaun has his head in your lap while you take turns between petting his hair and running your fingers gently through his hair. He folds his hands across the top of his stomach. You look down and a small smile appears on your face at the subtle questioning look Shaun is shooting you.
“Don’t worry about it, Shaun.” You stop playing with his hair to push his bangs to the side, leaning down to press a kiss on his forehead. “I was thinking about Steve earlier.” You tell him and Shaun nods his head. “He would have loved this view.” You look away from Shaun to stare at the view in front you - this was partly the reason why you bought the loft.
Shaun says nothing but he glances around the room, nodding his head slightly. “Yeah, he would.” Shaun reaches in to his pocket to take out the handkerchief where he held the plastic Scalpel. He grips the scalpel and continues to look at the stars.
“I am happy.” Shaun speaks up once again making you smile as you look down at your twin.
You gently poke Shaun’s nose, chuckling slightly at the disgruntled look Shaun sent you. “I am happy too, Shaun, being here with you.” Tenderly, you place a kiss atop his head and start caressing his hair again.
“Thank you.” Shaun takes his time with reaching your free hand. He holds on to it, like how he is holding on to the scalpel - tightly. “Y/N makes me happy too.” Shaun murmurs and as he fought off the desire to fall asleep, Shaun tightens the hold he has on your hand slightly, before slowly dozing off to the sound of your soft humming, caresses and the feeling of being safe and sound.
