› 𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲: everything is all good here, feel free to indulge as much as you'd like!
𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: it’s 3 in the morning and sleep just won’t come easily to you. between milk, cookies, and warm sheets, you and shinso find comfort in one another. even during quietest times of the night.
𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫: I actually quite literally decided to write this at 3:10 in the morning so please excuse any grammatical errors that you see, I promise I’ll clean it up much more. that aside, i hope you enjoy<3.
sleep never came easily to you. it also never seemed to come easily to your purple haired boyfriend either, it was like a match made in heaven.
during your college years, you and shinso decided to move into a shared apartment to save money, rather than the two of you living on your own. not only would you be able to wake up next to your favorite person every single morning — but, you’d also have someone to keep your bed warm at night, and to possibly help you sleep.
blinking a couple times, you glanced at your electric clock sitting atop your nightstand and read the clock. it hasn’t even been a full two hours since you closed your eyes, and not even an entirely full two hours of sleep.
you frowned to yourself and allowed your gaze to shift over to shinso’s, scarily still silhouette in the bed. you debated for a moment on whether or not you wanted to test if he was awake or not — but you decided not to. he already had troubles sleeping, or even sleeping through the night — and on the off chance that he actually managed to be asleep, you didn’t want to risk waking him.
hmm, maybe if I got a glass of water and had a little snack, it could help me try and go back to sleep.
a soft smile danced on your lips just thinking about the cookies you and shinso had baked together earlier today, you almost couldn’t contain your excitement.
you quietly removed shinso’s arms from around your waist, and held your breath for a moment as you watched him stir. thankfully, he didn’t wake up, but you couldn’t help but to sit there and watch him for a moment — not in a creepy way, more like softly admiring him like you always did. his hair was messily sprawled out on the pillow, his muscles and biceps could easily be spotted in his silhouette, and if you were to reach out and touch them, you’d know exactly where each scar he had was — every inched was mapped out in your memory.
after a couple moments passed, you realized that it was starting to get weird that you were simply staring at him in his sleep. sheepishly, you rose from the bed, slipped on your slippers and made your way to the kitchen with ease, despite how dimly lit your apartment was at night.
in a practiced routine, you grabbed a glass and filled it up with milk and grabbed a couple cookies and sat comfortably at your kitchen island. you stared out the window and allowed your gaze to soak in the skylines of the city, and eventually your mind began to wander.
not too much time had gone by before shinso peeled away from your shared bed, and dragged his way to the kitchen. he rested his chin on the crook of your shoulder startling you a little bit.
“hitoshi, why are you up? I hope I didn’t wake you.” you asked softly.
“why am I up— why are you up sweetheart?” shinso murmured back to you, peppering soft kisses along your jawline. “and no you didn’t wake me, it got cold out of no where, and I was trying to adjust the thermostat.”
a small snort escaped your lips at his response. “I just couldn’t sleep, I thought a sweet treat would help.” you said gesturing toward the cookie in your hand — and almost instinctively shinso immediately took a bite of it.
“these are actually really good sweetheart, you did good making them.” shinso let out a low chuckle while you swatted him away. he pulled out the seat next to you. “shouldn’t you be trying to go back to sleep now? I thought you had an early morning class.”
“please don’t even remind me about that.” you groaned out. you glanced at the digital clock on the stove and let out an even more exasperated sigh. “baby it’s 3:10 and I have class at 8 in the morning, I might as well just not go at this point. you know I never have an easy time getting out of bed in the morning.”
shinso immediately hooked his finger underneath your chin, forcing you to look up at him. “you will be going to that class one, and I’ll even wake up to drive you so you can sleep in a little longer.”
“right but— I still can’t even-“ you pursed your lips and tried to rebuttal, but was cut off abruptly when he pressed his lips against yours.
“I know you’re going to have trouble trying to get back to sleep, but we can still try.” shinso yawned out as he stood from his seat and grabbed your glass and plate and placed them in the sink. he decided that the dishes could wait until the morning.
without allowing you to even get a word in, he grabbed your hand and practically dragged you from your seat as he made his way back to your shared bedroom.
you couldn’t help but to let out a little laugh as shinso tugged you back into bed with him. despite him saying that the room was cold, the sheets remained warm as if the two of you had never left them. as you two slipped back into the warm embrace of the sheets and your comforter, shinso instantly wrapped his arms around you once more.
“think you can sleep now?” he murmured against your neck, his voice growing low and lazy and his hands slithered around your waist pulling you closer to him.
“only if you stay right here.” you hummed, pressing your back into his chest.
“good thing I wasn’t planning on going anywhere.” he replied back gently, you could almost hear the smile on his lips through his words.
and for the first time in a long while, sleep came easier than you thought.
