Day 16 @flufftober “singing each other to sleep” Twiyor Drabble Inspired by art by @wildgirl86 Click Here to see the piece and support them! 💜 Also here is the song featured in the story, Dreaming of You by Selena.
A scream echoes through the silent apartment causing Loid and Yor to shoot up instantly awake— a reflex from their days of past. With a turn and a knowing look, they each jump out of bed and run to the source ready to do battle with any evil spy or boogie man in the closet. From the glow of the starlight globe on the nightstand, they see the raised outline of something sitting up under the covers and hear the wet sobbing of a child’s tears. Loid flicks on the light as Yor beelines it for the bed.
“Anya?” Yor questions in a soothing voice as she sits along the edge. With Loid standing by along with an anxious Bond, she peels back the blanket until it reveals the shivering little girl. “Did you have a nightmare?”
The child nods with tears still dripping down her cheeks.
“Was it the one about the lab?” Loid confirms.
Again, Anya nods. Her green eyes full of moisture and surrounded in a white sea of red squiggles are like a peridot gem being born from an erupting volcano. It’s evident that tonight’s dream is an especially bad one. This brings a frown to Loid’s face, a bit of guilt…
“Awww,” Yor scoops Anya up into a tight hug bundled on her lap. “I’m so sorry Anya!” She coos assuringly. “Wanna sleep with us tonight?”
“Yes!” Anya sniffles and wraps tightly to Yor’s neck. “Don’ wanna be awone,” she whimpers.
“Of course,” Loid confers with a smile, “you can sleep with us. Here,” he gestures to Yor, “I’ll carry her.” But as Yor is about to pass Anya up to Loid, Bond cuts between them grumbling. Loid chuckles, “I think he wants to be your trusted steed tonight Anya.”
“He does,” Anya confirms, which also brings back her smile.
Yor places Anya onto Bond’s back, then she and Loid follow behind as he trots to the master bedroom. Bond stops next to the bed so Anya can climb onto it. Once she’s off, he goes to the foot of the bed and lays down while Loid and Yor climb in, sandwiching her between them.
“Momma, will you sing me something?” Anya asks politely. “Pweeze?”
“Sure,” Yor kisses Anya’s forehead, who settles in and closes her eyes with a smile.
The couple face inward, Loid laying his right arm over and hand coming to rest on Yor’s waist to bundle them close. He too closes his eyes and relaxes to the sound of his wife’s beautiful voice. It isn’t often that he gets to hear it, he chuckles inside his head at the thought of feigning a nightmare of his own so she’ll sing to him too.
After a moment, Yor hums briefly to find her pitch and begins. “Late at night when all the world is sleeping, I stay up and think of you. And I wish on a star, that somewhere you are thinking of me too...”
Loid can’t help the genuine uptick of his lips as he zones into Yor’s voice. Just two years ago, he never would have believed of a scene like this being anything more than a fictional scene from a drama on television. When he signed up with WISE, he swore off normalcy, swore off family all together let alone having his own. Relationships were just a means to an end and children a prop in an operation. But Loids brows furrow again as he remembers their role in Anya’s nightmare, which is no nightmare but a memory of the laboratory that created her. Because he made a mistake, they kidnapped her and took her back to that awful place. Thankfully with Yor and Yuri’s help they were able to get her back, but not before they put her through a few more painful experiments.
“…I just wanna hold you close, but so far, all I have are dreams of you. So I wait for the day and the courage to say how much I love you. Yes, I do! I’ll be dreaming of you tonight. ‘Til tomorrow, I’ll be holding you tight. And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be…”
Yor’s voice is slowly trailing off, so Loid opens his eyes too and sees she falling asleep. He brushes some stray hairs away from her face, causing her to relax even more and stop completely. This makes him smile. They make him smile. It’s times like this that makes him feel lucky to have met them both. Eventually the nightmares too will become a distant memory for Anya replaced by nights like tonight and her mother’s beautiful voice. All the pain they went through gave them this gift of a family, and there’s definitely nowhere else in the world better to be in.
“I love you too.” Loid leans over and kisses Anya first, then Yor on the forehead, before settling back in and closing his eyes. He keeps his voice soft and serene as he completes the lullaby. “Now I’m dreaming with you tonight. ‘Till tomorrow and for all of my life. And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be, than here in my room dreaming with you... Good night, my loves.”

Bakudeku request for prompt: “Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?” 🙃
👀👀👀 gurl yaaaas
"Is there a reason you're naked in my bed?"
There was. There was a perfectly good reason Katsuki Bakugou was currently wrapped in Izuku Midoriya's stupidly comfortable sheets. They were newly washed, he could tell from the faint scent of lavender that Izuku used for his fabric softener.
Normally, Katsuki would make fun of him for it, but right now it was more comforting than he could have imagined. He cursed internally, knowing full well he now owed Izuku one hell of an apology.
"Comfy." was all he said, the question didn't warrant anything further in his opinion.
"You have your own bed. It's literally across the hall!" Izuku pointed stubbornly to his bedroom door. Katsuki rolled over, curling and nuzzling into the stupidly soft blanket, turning himself into a comfortable Katsuki burrito. If it were up to him, this bed would be his and he'd force Izuku across the hall, but he couldn't risk leaving to evict Izuku from his own room.
"Just let me stay." Katsuki didn't move, didn't bother to roll over to look at the man whose bed he was refusing to leave. Izuku didn't need him to; he heard the soft vulnerability in that normally gruff, menacing voice.
Izuku started off soft, "Kacchan," it wasn't a question, it wasn't even really a demand for him to pay attention to him. What it did have was a tinge of worry. "Wanna talk about it?" Katsuki shook his head, not trusting his voice to hold steady.
Izuku moved around his room, shuffling to allow Katsuki to hear his every step, even every breath. The blanket shifted, disrupting his burrito, but then it was replaced by calloused fingers brushing against his cheek, moving into his hair, before pulling the blonde to the crook of Izuku's neck. Katsuki wasn't angry like he normally would be, instead he was comforted. Izuku smelled of mint from his shampoo, and lavender from his stupid fabric softener. It was a combo he never knew he needed.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, shitty Deku?" it was phrased like a question, and it was supposed to sound intimidating. It failed. Izuku ran his fingers through those wild blonde locks that were deceptively soft.
"I'm just playing catch-a-Kacchan. Looks like I win," Izuku mumbled into his hair, exhaustion thick in his voice, "This is also my bed. So, deal with it."
Katsuki would never admit it, but he had never been so happy to lose. That night, was the first night he'd slept without the plague of nightmares. Maybe, he'd do this more often. After all, these sheets that smelled like lavender were just so comfortable.

---
She woke to laughter. A fit of giggles shared between two people who were trying their best to remain at a decent noise level. The chortles came from their noses and mouths, muffled either from their own hands of her pillow. The sound and vibrations escorted Lucy from a dream that fluttered from her memory as quick as sand in the wind.
Natsu and Happy’s attempts failed.
“Mnnn, “ She yawned, eyes lifted with the weight of sleep still upon them. Lucy could barely make out the silhouette of her two teammates as they stiffened in place, snickers dying off. “What’s so funny?”
Lucy didn’t wait for an answer. She stretched her arms and lazily rolled to her side to check the time: 2:45am.
“You weren’t supposed to wake up, Lucy!” Happy responded, voice low and thick with exhaustion. Whatever had amused him hadn’t chased away the sleep and he rubbed his eyes from the top of her pillow. “We tried so hard to be quiet, you know!”
“Probably shouldn’t laugh right by my ears then,” Lucy groaned, rolling back to face her other partner, who was strangely silent. “So? What’s got you and Happy laughing so much, Natsu?”
The Slayer blinked, lips curved despite himself, and he looked to Happy and back again as if mentally discussing his answer. The quiet of the night ticked on and she stifled another yawn as she waited. Were they having some sort of… secret meeting in her bed or something? If so, choosing to do it while she slept was the worst decision.
Natsu muttered something and she frowned, “I didn’t catch that. Why are you talking so low?”
“No reason.” He smiled, but gave no further attempt to explain himself. When sleep began to take her once more, she shook her head to fight it off.
“So-?” She asked.
Natsu rolled his eyes and flopped against the mattress, shifting it and it’s occupants enough for Lucy and Happy to lift their heads, more awake than they had been. He didn’t notice, shuffling his body closer to wrap an arm around Lucy’s waist to pull her against his chest. The warmth of his body seeped into her chilled skin and she snuggled happily against him. Comfort she was far too tired to deny.
Once the two settled, Happy’s own weight and heat warmed the tops of their heads as he curled himself against them. His tail swished lazily against the pillow before he tapped Natsu’s head, reminding him of the question he still had yet to answer.
Lucy was ready to forget about it. The warmth and need for sleep winning over her baser needs, but Natsu’s chuckle brushed against her ear and the heat of his breath brought a ghostly chill down her neck.
“You snore in your sleep.” He said. A completely new heat flared across her cheeks and Lucy’s eyes widened.
“What did you-?” Lucy gasped in outrage, body tensing as she struggled to glare at the man still chuckling by her ear. His hold tightened, his earlier laugh returning as his hands ran through the soft tresses of her hair, “- Natsu, I don’t.. No I don't!”
“Haha, relax, Lucy,” He nuzzled his nose against her, amusement sending soft vibrations through the three of them, “You totally do, but,” His voice trailed off as Lucy relaxed again, lulled by the soft touches in her hair, “it’s adorable, okay?”
She was thankful her blush couldn’t be seen in the dark and quickly tucked her head under his chin. “Oh, just…. Just shut up.” She mumbled.
He was still laughing, but even boisterous dragonslayers need their sleep and a loud, fang-filled yawn broke free. Natsu relished in the scent of Lucy’s hair and allowed himself to wind down once again, though the smirk didn’t quite leave his face. When sleep finally settled between the two of them, Happy peeked one eye open to stare at the two and shook his head.
“You two are so weird.”
