Despite the fact that he arguably is the one of the LIs that will and has stayed up for days on end and maybe doesn’t truly even need sleep.

And it’s all because of you.

It’s you that puts his (justified) hyper vigilance at ease and muscles, always slightly tense, relax. The exhaustion of his chaotic existence is allowed to reach his psyche and it always ends up with him dragging you to some soft thing for you to lay on and then for him to lay on you.

The first time he dropped his full weight on you with a sleepiness sinking eagerly into his bones, you’d been laid out in the couch binging a series recommended to you by a friend.

After recovering the air knocked out of you, you’d couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of Sylus winding his arms up your sides and nuzzling his face into your stomach. Your nails gently scratching at his scalp made a deep noise escape him and melt further onto your much smaller frame. His eyes were already closed.

“You okay…?” You had questioned just to make sure. You felt the thumb of one of his hands rub tiny circles into your lower rib.

“As long as you don’t move… perfect.”

You ended up stuck like that for a long time. Enough to go through the emotional roller coaster of the series you were watching. He only bothered to reawaken to the sounds of your emotional sniffles over the plot and characters hitting you right in the feels.

That had been the first real appearance of the slumbering dragon lurking within your beloved. Since then, it’s grown substantially more common. Like a giant cat, he always wanted to be on you somehow. If you tried to tease him about it, he’d just shrug and suddenly declare he’s feeling a bit sleepy with that smirk of his that both endeared and irritated you.

You wouldn’t trade it for the world. Naps were simply now part of your daily lives. Considering what else Sylus got up to outside of yourself, you were glad he indulged these particular desires.

Is the cat video cute?
