Snow white with red hair characters reaction to sleeping with s/o together in the same bed?

Fluff/ Comfort

~Zen~

Zen would initially be quite flustered and nervous about sharing a bed with his S/o, his cheeks taking on that familiar reddish hue as he tries to maintain his composure. Despite being a confident prince in most situations, intimate moments like these would bring out his more vulnerable, endearing side. He'd probably spend extra time getting ready, making sure everything is perfect, and would ask multiple times if his S/o is truly comfortable with the arrangement. His considerate nature would shine through as he'd offer to take the floor or find alternative sleeping arrangements if there's even the slightest hint of discomfort from his partner.

The protective instincts that define so much of Zen's character would manifest beautifully during shared sleep. He'd naturally position himself between his S/o and the door, and would find himself waking up periodically throughout the night just to ensure they're safe and comfortable. His S/o would often wake to find his arm draped protectively over them, or discover that he'd carefully adjusted the blankets to make sure they stayed warm. Even in sleep, Zen's caring nature wouldn't rest, and he'd unconsciously pull his S/o closer whenever they seemed restless or troubled by dreams.

What would surprise Zen most is how naturally peaceful and content he'd feel with his S/o beside him. After years of carrying the weight of royal responsibilities and the loneliness that often comes with his position, having someone he trusts completely sharing such an intimate, vulnerable space would bring him a sense of completeness he didn't realize he was missing. He'd find that his usual restless energy settles into something calmer and more grounded. The forest used to be his escape from princely duties, but now his S/o's presence would become his sanctuary, a place where he can simply be Zen rather than the second prince of Clarines.

Morning would bring its own tender moments as Zen would wake up earlier than his S/o, taking quiet minutes to simply watch them sleep with a soft, adoring expression. He'd be incredibly gentle when waking them, perhaps with soft kisses or gentle caresses, his voice warm and hushed with morning affection. These shared mornings would become some of his most treasured memories, representing the genuine connection and acceptance he'd always longed for. Zen would make it a point to bring his S/o tea or breakfast in bed sometimes, wanting to pamper them and show his appreciation for the trust and love they've given him by sharing such intimate, peaceful moments together.

~Raji~

Raji would be an absolute bundle of nerves the first time he and his s/o share a bed, even if it's just for sleeping. His socially awkward nature would have him overthinking every detail - from what pajamas to wear to which side of the bed to take. He'd probably spend hours beforehand asking Sakaki for advice (much to his attendant's exasperation), fretting about whether he should bring extra pillows or if the room temperature is just right. His hands would be slightly trembling as he gets ready for bed, and he'd be uncharacteristically quiet, stealing glances at his s/o while trying to appear composed. Despite his royal upbringing, this intimate moment would strip away all his princely facade, leaving him as vulnerable and genuine as he truly is beneath all the formality.

Once they're actually settled in bed together, Raji's inherent kindness would shine through his nervousness. He'd be incredibly considerate, constantly asking if his s/o is comfortable, if they need more blankets, or if he's taking up too much space. True to his dislike of cold things, he'd make sure his s/o is warm enough, perhaps even having the servants prepare extra soft blankets beforehand. His artistic sensibilities would show as he'd notice small details - how peaceful his s/o looks in the moonlight, the way their hair falls across the pillow, or how their breathing synchronizes with his. He'd lie there for a while just watching them, feeling overwhelmed by the trust they've placed in him by sharing such an intimate, vulnerable moment.

As the night progresses, Raji would gradually relax into the comfort of having his s/o close. His fear of being alone (stemming from his isolated upbringing) would melt away as he realizes he doesn't have to maintain any pretenses here. He'd tentatively reach out to hold their hand or gently stroke their hair, marveling at how natural and right it feels. If his s/o moves closer to him in their sleep, seeking his warmth, he'd freeze at first before carefully adjusting to accommodate them, his heart racing with joy at being needed and wanted. The intimacy of simply breathing in the same space, sharing the same blankets, would feel more precious to him than any royal treasure.

Waking up next to his s/o would be a revelation for Raji - seeing their sleepy face first thing in the morning, perhaps with messy hair and soft eyes, would make him feel like he's witnessing something sacred. He'd be the type to wake up earlier just to watch them sleep peacefully, wondering how he got so lucky. This experience would mark another step in his character development, as he'd realize that true intimacy isn't about grand gestures or royal protocols, but about these quiet, tender moments of connection. He'd probably write poetry about it later (though thankfully better than his earlier attempts), and the memory would become something he treasures, giving him strength during difficult princely duties and reminding him of what he's working to become worthy of.

~Mitsuhida~

Initially, Mitsuhide would be an absolute mess of nerves and flustered energy when the topic of sharing a bed first comes up. His face would turn various shades of red as he stumbles over his words, trying to be a perfect gentleman while also not wanting to make his S/O feel uncomfortable or unwanted. He'd probably suggest taking the floor or finding a separate room multiple times, not because he doesn't want to be close to them, but because he's genuinely worried about overstepping boundaries or not being respectful enough. His natural tendency to overthink would kick into overdrive as he mentally rehearses how to act appropriately, though his S/O would likely find his nervous rambling endearing rather than concerning.

Once actually in bed together, Mitsuhide would start off lying rigidly on his side of the bed, maintaining what he considers a "respectful distance" while being hyperaware of every small movement or sound his S/O makes. He'd probably ask multiple times if they're comfortable, if they need more space, or if the temperature is okay, his protective instincts making him want to ensure their complete comfort. However, his caring nature would gradually override his nervousness, especially if his S/O seems cold or restless. Without even realizing it, he'd slowly migrate closer, perhaps offering his arm as a pillow or gently adjusting the blankets to make sure they're properly covered.

As he becomes more accustomed to the arrangement, Mitsuhide's natural protective instincts would make him surprisingly good at anticipating his S/O's needs during sleep. He'd wake up if they had a nightmare, instinctively pulling them closer and murmuring reassuring words in his sleep-roughened voice. His training as a knight means he's a light sleeper anyway, so he'd often find himself watching over them as they rest, marveling at how peaceful and vulnerable they look. This would bring out his more tender side, the one usually reserved for his closest friends, as he'd gently brush hair from their face or adjust their position if they seem uncomfortable.

Eventually, sharing a bed would become one of Mitsuhide's favorite parts of the relationship, though he'd be too embarrassed to admit it outright. He'd treasure the quiet intimacy of morning conversations while still tangled in blankets, or the way his S/O would unconsciously seek out his warmth during the night. His natural tendency to worry would manifest in making sure they get enough rest, probably gently scolding them if they try to stay up too late, though it would come from a place of genuine care. Despite his initial nervousness, he'd discover that he sleeps better with his S/O beside him, their presence providing a sense of peace and comfort that helps quiet his often-worried mind.

~Obi~

Initially, Obi would find sharing a bed both thrilling and terrifying in equal measure. His years as a lone assassin meant he'd grown accustomed to sleeping light and alone, always ready to spring into action at the first sign of danger. Having someone so close while he's at his most vulnerable would trigger every instinct he has to maintain distance and stay guarded. Yet there's something about his S/O's presence that makes him want to try, even if his first few nights are spent lying rigidly on his side of the bed, hyperaware of every breath and movement beside him. He'd probably make light jokes about being a "terrible bed partner" or tease about his nocturnal habits to mask how genuinely nervous he is about this level of intimacy.

Once he begins to relax into the routine, Obi would discover he's surprisingly tactile during sleep. All that emotional distance he maintains during waking hours seems to melt away in the darkness, and he'd find himself unconsciously gravitating toward his S/O's warmth. He might wake up with an arm draped over them or their hand somehow finding its way into his hair, and while he'd initially feel embarrassed about these unconscious displays of affection, he'd gradually come to cherish them. His S/O would likely be the first person to see him completely unguarded, catching glimpses of soft expressions and gentle touches that he'd never allow himself during the day.

His protective instincts would absolutely extend to their shared sleeping space. Obi would position himself between his S/O and the door without even thinking about it, and he'd probably still keep a weapon within arm's reach out of pure habit. But rather than being paranoid, it would feel more like a gentle shield - he sleeps better knowing he can keep them safe, and they sleep better knowing he's there. He'd develop endearing habits like checking that they're properly covered with blankets or adjusting pillows in his sleep, small acts of care that come naturally to him in these quiet moments.
