Dim moonlight crept through the curtains, illuminating the bedroom before it. It was late at night, late enough where most should be asleep, yet here the two were.
The soft touch of Lewis' fingers trailed lazily over y/n's back, warm and gentle. Her head rested against his chest, listening to his heartbeat as her hand found his hair, tousling it as it swept through her fingers, dark and messy.
“Hey, I put effort into that” Lewis’s voice murmured. Y/n could see he was attempting to be grumpy, but he couldn’t hold up the act, his lips breaking into that familiar grin after a couple of seconds.
"You'll be fine," she mumbled softly as she let out a tired groan and laid on top of him rubbing his hair.
Lewis smiled wider, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer. He didn’t mind having a lazy night, there was something nice about it, the peace and quiet, the closeness. It took some time to get used to. He was often gone, whether it was acting, modelling, or just running quick errands. Having time to lay down with someone else he cared for was a rareity indeed.
“What’d you get up to today?”
"I had some drinks with friends...it was boring.." she spoke softly and was mumbling because her head was lying on his chest. She continued to stroke his hair.
“Boring with some drinking? Impossible,” Lewis laughed, he wasn’t too surprised to hear about the night out, y/n often met up with her friends during the day. He enjoyed letting her relax when she came back though, there was something satisfying about helping her settle in for the evening.
The strokes in his hair felt nice, he leaned into them, feeling a tad drowsy. There was something so calming and peaceful about being here with y/n, the fact she felt comfortable enough to settle down meant the world to him.
"It was the worst two hours of my life..but the drinks were fine...I drank extra to drown them out.." she continued stroking his hair.
It was a little comical watching y/n try to act moody while she continued to play with his hair, but maybe he wasn’t that much better. He was tired, and quite comfortable, it wasn’t going to take much for him to fall asleep either.
Lewis chuckled softly, leaning his head into her hand more as he smiled.
“You know… you could’ve just left”
"They were my ride home.." she said as she nuzzled her head into his chest.
“Could’ve just called me,” Lewis mumbled, his tone gentle but also full of banter. He couldn’t help it, though, he did like teasing her after a hard day’s work.
He brushed a few strands of her hair behind her ear, tucking them in place as he let her nest into his chest. Despite all the late nights they shared together, this was still pretty special.
"I was drunk and wasn't thinking very well.. " She sighed in defeat.
Lewis didn’t mind, it wasn’t much of an issue to him that she didn’t let him know she needed a ride home, and he knew she probably felt bad enough about it without him making her feel worse. He let out a soft sigh, running his hand up and down her arm in a bid to relax her more.
“Alright, fair enough, well, you know I’m always here for you, it’s only a call away”
"I know baby..." she mumbled against his chest. She adjusted my body and got comfortable still stroking his hair.
Lewis smiled as she settled further. He couldn’t help but like it when she was all cuddly with him like this, it was adorable. He wrapped his arms around her, gently scooping her up to lay her across his lap properly. He started to rub her back, trying to ease away some of the tension from the night. “Just relax”
She let put a sigh and she kept her hand in his hair. "I love you.."
“I love you too darling…” Lewis muttered softly as he continued with the light rubs, he liked the way she would melt in his arms like this, it made him feel needed.
He ran his fingers through her hair slowly again, it was almost a trance-like movement, relaxing as he did it. He couldn’t explain why it felt so comforting, but he liked it anyway.
She closed her eyes softly and kept fluttering them open and shut. Lewis was pretty tired himself, the pair had been laying together for quite a while now, his movements beginning to slow a bit as well. He had noticed that y/n was drifting off every which way, but he didn’t mind, it felt nice to lay here with. He pulled her a little closer to him, wanting to see her sleeping face.
Her hand slowly started getting slower until it stopped in his hair. Lewis was pretty much staring at her now, he couldn’t pull himself away from her, he just wanted to lay there and watch her. She looked beautiful as she slept, peaceful without a care in the world. Her hair, tangled as it was, still looked incredibly soft, and her lips looked pretty perfect too. He couldn’t believe he’d pulled this beautiful girl to lay down with him in bed.
He took note of her slow breathing and her relaxed body language, it was adorable. Lewis brushed a loose strand of hair out of her face, letting the strands cascade back down her cheeks. He let out a soft yawn, as his own eyelids began dropping. Soon enough, the pair both fell asleep holding each other peacefully.
