“daniel? babe, you got to get up,” you lightly shook your boyfriend, who was dead asleep on the sofa. it was already past two in the morning, and you had just got back from your night shift at the hospital that you were doing your residency in.
daniel didn’t respond to your words, instead snuggling his cheek farther into the couch cushion he was using as a pillow.
you had to admit, he looked like an angel while he was sleeping. his eyelashes fanned across the top of his cheeks, his lips turned up in a slight smile. he was at peace when he was asleep. all the worries and stresses that accumulated in him throughout the day disappeared, leaving only the soft, carefree boy that you had fallen so deeply in love with.
“c’mon babe, let’s go to bed.” you ran your hands through his hair, the strands like silk between your fingers. you leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek, causing daniel to stir in his slumber.
“y/n?” his voice was soft and groggy, and his eyes slowly opened to reveal a cerulean color that was clouded with sleep. daniel slowly pushed himself upright, rubbing his cheek where it was previously pressed against the couch.
“hey there sleeping beauty,” you teased, admiring the disheveled state of your sleepy boyfriend.
his clothes were askew, the simple t-shirt and joggers that he was wearing looking completely wrinkled. his hair was nothing short of a complete mess, tangled and matted down to his forehead. the skin on his face was pink where it was pressed down into the sofa, and his eyelids drooped ever so slightly from waking up.
he was a mess, but god, he was the most beautiful mess you had ever laid your eyes on.
“when did you get here?” he mumbled, lifting his hands to rub the sleep out of his eyes.
“only a few minutes ago.” you replied, gently moving a stray strand of hair away from daniel’s face. “you were so deep in sleep that i wasn’t even sure if you were breathing,” you let out a laugh.
“wait, i fell asleep? shit,” daniel groaned, running a hand through his hair which worsened it’s state. “i wanted to stay up and wait for you, but i guess i dozed off while trying to figure out some lyrics.” he gestured to the array of papers and his guitar that was laying on the coffee table.
“i try and be romantic and this is what happens,” he grumbled to himself, causing you to let out another laugh.
“well you know how you can make it up to me?” his face lit up at your words. “if you came with me to bed and we could go to sleep.” you proposed, eliciting a light laugh from the blue eyed boy.
“deal.” he took your hand in his, standing up from his spot on the couch. he stretched, a yawn escaping his mouth before he began pulling you towards your shared bedroom.
you went to quickly change from your scrubs into your pajamas, returning to see daniel already sound asleep on the bed.
you smiled to yourself, shaking your head sightly as you slid into bed next to him. he instinctually cuddled into your side, causing your insides to melt into a puddle of mush.
“goodnight sleeping beauty.”
