Nesta, Emerie and Gwyn are having a sleepover. So they are all in Nessian's bed and cuddling.
In Azriel's room, Cassian is trying to cuddle with Azriel aand he's letting him half - heartedly (Because he wants to be macho and doesn't like to cuddle while sleeping but he still likes cuddles so can't give them up). The dynamic is pretty calm here because 500 years of the sleepover.
But the Valkyries? It started with Emerie making them sleepy because she's tired and is starting to have a hangover (drinks with Mor). But turns out Nesta is now sharing Cassian energy. And used to pillow talk.
So Nesta blurts out a random existential dilemma question and Emerie is yelling shut up. But then Gwyn pipes up after 5 minutes about how truly the theory is possible.
And then its over. Nesta and Gwyn have started a debate on the merits of having a water proof book or glow in the dark ink at BLOODY 3 AM. And no matter how much she pushes the pillow against her ears or her hands in their faces they just won't shut up.
Suddenly there is a dark lump with a pillow barging in to Azriel's room and shoving the bat boys away from each other and slamming face down on the bed between them.
Azriel and Cassian have wide eyes with fear with Truthteller in Azriel's hands and a sword in Cassian's.
"Cauldron relax I am sleepy and a lesbian. Just fricking let me sleep." Emerie mutters at their shock and promptly starts to softly snore.
Azriel and Cassian look at each other for a minute, a conversation of 'what the hell just happened?' 'where are the rest of these hellions?' silently passing between them. They promptly shrug and lay back down on Emerie's either side, covering her with their wings as she lets out a satisfied sigh.
The peace doesn't really last because annoying Emerie was half the fun of the midnight debate. Plus glow in the dark ink obviously won.
So 30 minutes later there are two other valkyries standing in the doorway snuggled up with blankets around their shoulder. Cassian lets out a laugh at their forlorn expressions and then shifts to make space for Nesta as she promptly decides to settle next to her mate like a cat.
Gwyn is left standing in the doorway pouting at them all about leaving her out and then jumping in next to Azriel to try to join the snuggle fest, after Az beckons her in to with exasperation. He grumbles with one eye open but then his hands are sneaking around her waist as he holds her tight and then they are just spooning.
Gwyn and Nesta try to rile the others up again before Gwyn shuts up as Azriel threatens to leave the bed if they didn't quiet down (He wasn't going to miss out on sleeping with Gwyn and go away but they didn't know that).
Thankfully the bed is big enough for 3 Illyrians with wings (Bat boys sleepover is a thing), so all of them end up in spooning train which is how they wake up when they have to head out for training. Since then its pretty common to find any combination of people just snuggling together in a sleepover.
This is the justification Az and Gwyn try to give when Nessian walks in on them sleeping together, but "Its not a sleepover that's going on DID YOU TWO HAVE SEX?! ARE YOU TOGETHER? HOLY SHIT YOU ARE SO ADORABLE".
Gwyn is blushing up a storm trying to stammer out a denial, before Az groans into the pillow realizing they are not fooling anyone and proceeds to pull Gwyn down back to him in bed and pushes out Nesta with his shadows as they slap the door shut.
They wake up an hour later, with Azriel waking up Gwyn by slowly and lazily making his way down her with his mouth.
Emerie has never more regretted entering rooms without permission.
