reader falls asleep on phighters' shoulder... I dont know which character so you should pick (or do all of them whatever you feel up to)
Counting Sheep... So Sleepy....
Internet Findings: I'm in the mood for some fun, we'll do all why not. This'll be headcanons-ish for them though, hope you're alright with that anon because it's only three for each [END SEARCH]
🗡 - Sword only meant to sit down for a second after a rigorous training session, you watching him with rapt attention that oozed adoration from each move he expertly followed through. It reminded you of ballet in a way, how each twist he did was graceful and elegant... Almost elegant anyway, he did trip a few times which prompted you to ask if he was fine.
🗡 - When he finally sat down, you leaned against him after a few minutes of chatting, him getting lost in some of the precise techniques he's been trying to master while his hands try and map them out for you. "Get this! Venomshank didn't even tell me about that one- I just thought of it myself, wanted you to be the first to see..." Sword trailer off after a while.
🗡 - You'd think it'd take him a while to notice you passed out on his shoulder, but he actually doesn't. He gives you a kiss to your forehead though, and nestles a bit closer to you for his own resting period. Unfortunately though, he has also realized that he's gonna need to get up soon, so hopefully you're almost done with your nap!
🛹 - Oh Skateboard, if he isn't going what feels like fifty miles and hour and doing tricks that could count as literal dangers. Kinda a menace, but it's fineeeeee it's all gooodddd. Every once and a while you join in on his havoc spree by skateboarding along with him down Craterdust Capital, or the less densely populated parts of Crossroads.
🛹 - It was only after a long ride with the guy did you start to feel a bit more winded then usual, your eyes fluttering a bit as you called out to him to take a small break so you could catch your breath and maybe grab a bite. Skateboard wasn't really one to deny that (especially if it meant a more playful date with you to grab some food), so he agreed pretty quickly.
🛹 - It felt almost picturesque how you slumped on Skateboard's shoulder, the sun setting just so as he took a swig of his drink. It wss something sugary, but it was more so a dull sensation to his already overactive nerves off of you leaning against him. He didn't know if he should wake you up? Let you rest? He'll wake you in five minutes was his eventual answer, but for right now he was letting the moment crystallize and form into something he'd never forget no matter what.
♦️ - Katana can be... Still. Very still, and while he sees it as a virtue of his to let the time pass until it's right to strike, others see it more so as a small hassle to navigate around. He can be persistent, what can I say? That's why he loves you all the more that you appreciate his way of words, and all of his more reserved nature, bit I'm getting off topic here.
♦️ - Katana was doing some thinking of what he wishes to do late one night, his mind wandering through the possibilities of the future he so desperately wishes to grasp at and hold into his clawed hands, before the Church always found its way into his life. It was only when you plopped down besides him that he snapped out if it, and exchanged a few words that were lost in the air.
♦️ - When you fell asleep from the comforting quiet, Katana got more stiff with his posture. He didn't move that much beforehand with this sort of tranquility that seemed to wash over him, but now he made sure you could sleep soundly while he stayed up just a bit longer. It's funny, but you seem to let his thoughts refocus into the here and now, and how he can cherish and protect you in this moment no matter what comes between you both.
🔨 - Ban Hammer doesn't really see you too often because of the whole Warden of what's probably the worst place in the Inpherno, but he tries to make up for it whenever he sees you. Whether that's crushing you with hugs, or smothering you in kisses, or just being his lovable self (both an annoyance and also a compliment somehow.).
🔨 - One of those days where he hasn't come back in a while and very visibly stress out of his mind from the inmates, he practically melted when he got back to you and held you in his arms, "Mhmmmmm... Miss this from ya hon." Ban Hammer mumbled out, his arms wrapped around you as much as possible.
🔨 - The whole falling asleep thing was really just because he's incredibly warm, and he felt so cozy you just had to take the chance and get some rest with him by your side. He might tease you and say that you find him such an irresistible pillow to snooze on, but he won't be able to deny how it genuinely made him smile, and hold you closer to his chest so you could relax.
💥 - Biografts are made to be utilized and given orders. What good are they if they can't do something done well and right? Biograft was specifically programmed to help the scientists of Blackrock, and specifically do the tasks of Subspace if it was applicable (or he made them do it, cough cough).
💥 - "I CAN NOT MOVE FROM MY POSITION." Biograft spoke out clearly, its staticy voice not ever breaking as they gave a subtle motion to your form resting on their own metallic one. They've been sitting for so long waiting for a task, when wouldn't you know it? You plopped down right next to it and got way too cozy when the inevitable sleep happened.
💥 - Biograft gave another even "AFFIRMATIVE. I AM UNABLE TO MOVE AT THIS TIME, PLEASE ASK LATER WHEN I CAN COMPLETE A TASK." It knew you needed sleep, being well versed in the status of rest and why it was so beneficial as a person, so they would deny any sort of interaction as long as you were resting. Hopefully the other scientists don't mind as much right?
💣 - This was actually just a very affectionate day you were having to your beloved partner, wishing for Rocket to know just how much you appreciate him, and know that he's your favorite person in the whole world. Sure it was causing him to scoff and brush your words off like nothing, but with the day he was having after working at the shop with Zuka? This was much appreciated in small ways.
💣 - Rocket didn't really hear the way your voice started to drop and get lower after a long time of cuddling with him and tracing your hands over his face in kind adoration, but he did feel you lean a bit more into him after. "I'm not that much of a pillow am I?" Rocket joked, but you didn't hear the way his laugh got lighter all from being by your side.
💣 - It only was a short amount of time before Rocket picked up the fact that you've fallen asleep next to him, and he snapped out of the more snarky facade to instead try and position you more gently. He really doubted that you wanted to be asleep on his prosthetic arm, since it was kindaaa difficult to rest on because of the metallic edge of it. Once he was sure you were comfortable, he got close to you and didn't even say a word about it when you woke, simply content to be near you.
🍰 - Oh Slingshot... Does he even sit down long enough to actually allow you some rest? He always looked like he was just raring to go once he slipped on his sneakers, and could run miles before he tapped out. Not to say he was irresponsible with that sort of speed per say, he just had lots of things to do and upkeep was no joke for himself... Which is why you volunteered at Thieves' Rest for the day!
🍰 - Honestly, you probably would never again tease him for sometimes being a bit cranky or just generally out of it with what you've had to face in his café. While Slingshot told you it's fine and he's just happy you appreciate him / show so much support, you wanted to help the guy deeper by volunteering there for a bit! Unfortunately you have also realized that WOW these people get nuts without their confections.
🍰 - You both sat down in a small, yet quaint break room Slingshot set up, his smile wide as he gave a kiss to your cheek, "Great job for doing so much, it did help me out a ton!" You were already nodding off from the strain of it a bit, so Slingshot didn't mind that you fell asleep on his arm when you both sat down. He did wait a bit to make sure you're fine, and went back to work with Shuri and Vine.
☄️ - Hyperlaser doesn't really have the vocabulary to know what "rest" is like, or at least that's what you joked about with him many times. His mercenary job doesn't allow too much down time for him to relax with you or Princess, as much as he would like to get cozy and pet the lovable cat.
☄️ - Well, it seemed like the Swords graced him with a few minute window before he was back up on his feet again and ready to start tracking the next target. He realized incredibly quickly when you started to drift off on him, his arms loosening their hold of you with a sigh of tender affection, his visor obscuring the smile on his face from how cute you are.
☄️ - Although he couldn't particularly stay with you for your little nap, you did wake up a while later to feel a warm blanket over you, and a note detailing how Hyperlaser would be back soon after he finished up some... "Problems" Blackrock was running into. How sweet, yet if course you could ignore the eerie undertone those problems were referring to.
🌿 - Shuriken is tired, and everyone can see that. Most don't bat an eye to the reasons why (to be fair, he doesn't really tell people of his secret identity as the Silver Shadow) and instead go on about their lives with maybe a question if he's doing fine. Usually it's totally ok, and he gets through the day without fail of even taking a nap. Not this time though.
🌿 - He came back after a short trip around Crossroads as his mysterious alter ego, the darkness engulfing him a soft comfort to the harsh neon lights that were glare from what felt like all angles. What a surprise it was to see you, reading a book and waiting for him on the small couch he shares with his family. He kindaaa forgot you said that you'd visit him, but it wasn't so bad since you already knew about the identity situation.
🌿 - Shuriken also didn't mean to sit down next to you so long, his five minute rest to regroup and think of who to help next turned into watching you get close to him and fall asleep on his shoulder, his weary eyes softening under the low light. It only took him a few seconds before he joined you in rest, arm around you and tight to make sure you're protected.
👁 - Have I ever said how cool that mechanical arm Scythe has is? No? Well I'm saying it now, because it is so sick. You think so too, and the amount of times Scythe herself has caught you tracing along the gold details on it, or seeing the grooves it had on her upper forearm. Quite enchanting, and Scythe almost glowed with pride every time you did that to her.
👁 - Well, this was one of those times you got so deep into the circular motions your fingers made on each mechanism that kept it into place, the way her fingers would clench and unclench like a rhythmic procedure only she knew how to direct and flow... It wasn't long before you passed out soundly by her side, hands still on her arm in rapt attention.
👁 - Now of course Scythe knew that you fell asleep, she actually thought it was really cute that you lulled yourself to a resting point all by just running your fingers along her own arm, and she really had to stop the small chuckle that would escape her throat by that thought alone. "Get some good rest, darlin'." Scythe hummed, kissing your forehead as she made sure you wouldn't be messed with in your sleep.
💉 - You already know Medkit, his nightmares plague him constantly and it's almost more frequent that he snaps out of his dreams with nothing more than a tired sigh before he tries to go back to sleep as soundly as possible, or stays up for the rest of the night with some coffee to greet the rising sun.
💉 - You were giving some comfort to him after one of these bad nights of his, never pressing him to speak more than what he wished to say over the swirling miasma of wakefulness and dizzy haze of sleep that still pulled at his eyelids. He felt so bad that you woke up in response to his more sporadic tossing and turning, but you assured him that you don't mind, and that you just want to help him get through this no matter the cost of your sleep. He means the world to you, and you have no clue what he'd do for you in return.
💉 - You were more tired than you realized, so as much as you wished to be up with him longer to talk and watch the stars dip into the early morning sky, you needed sleep. You did fall back to sleep right on his arm, and Medkit couldn't help the way his heart clenched at the sight of your face so peacefully in rest. It wasn't long after he joined you, his arms even in his dreams wrapped securely around you to Gove you warmth in some way.
🎵 - Boombox absolutely loved music, that is no surprise when you see the following he's built up all by his own musical prowess. Now, of course you absolutely support him through and through with his journey, but you do remind him to take breaks when applicable or desperately needed.
🎵 - Well, on one of the days you wanted to help Boombox out with the mixing and a few of the instrumentation of his latest song, you didn't realize just how late into the night you'd be going at it. Sure there was more up tempo beats in the background, but all the energy was starting to seriously wear you down to the point of exhaustion...
🎵 - Boombox smiled gently at you, finally taking off his visor and letting his eyes be seen for once in so long that he's been up. You were sleeping peacefully by his side, Boombox starting to make sure his and your work was saved and ready for another day as he shut everything off. Maybe it was time for rest now anyway, he felt his eyes start to droop by the second.
💊 - Another one of those lengthy research / experimentation days, you could definitely clock when Subspace was getting more and more into the "Mad scientist" zone by taking one glance at his posture and how he conducted himself with his fellow peers (that he swore were below him on so many levels), and how he interacted with his object of intrigue.
💊 - It was more so by chance, and admittedly some deep worry, that you ran into Subspace in his lab, tinkering with the newest project of his that you heard the mutterings would "Change Blackrock as we know it!!". While it sounded great and all, you wanted to make sure he wasn't losing his mind from being so deep into his findings that he didn't talk to someone else, and that he was also taking care of himself by proxy.
💊 -"BIOGRAFT!!! Fetch the blankets and pillows for my dearest here!!" Although shrill, Subspace did have the presence of mind to try and keep his voice down so you could doze sweetly by his side. Subspace muttered something about how slow the hunk of metal is getting, before snatching the blankets and such when the robot came over.
🌸 - Vine Staff's curse works in very mysterious ways, well to others that is. She has the tendency to grow different plants on her wooden arm for a bit as a small hobby of hers, and not to mention the whole light communing with the flora she comes across?? Over the moon you are for your wonderful partner, and you make sure she's not embarrassed by her curse despite the unfortunate circumstance to be born with it.
🌸 - Vine Staff was steadily growing some flowers on her arm, being careful to not overdo it and cause a strain on herself in the mid afternoon sun. You were beside her and watching with wide eyes, seeing sparks of color before blooming into a pastel pink shade, lavenders curling along her fingertips as she gave a deep inhale. "There we go..." Vine Staff spoke out with a sigh, happy to have been able to control it a bit more.
🌸 - With all the floral scents, you got so cozy next to her that it was almost second nature (ha) to have fallen asleep with the perfume scents of roses and daffodils hitting your lungs. Vine Staff found it cute, and although she planned to give you the bouquet she grew, she just made a mental note to give it later when you woke up.
💎 - With the crystal stealing Coil does, he makes sure he doesn't come by your place when either Subspace's own metal scraps are chasing him, or something else equally annoying is on his tail. He may not take much seriously, but your safety? He's not dense, he knows when to not press his luck in getting caught or not.
💎 - After a long time of getting chased around and hitting blows to Biografts, Coil finally found a period where he could maybe get a break and sit with you for a short while. Now that's where he is now, sitting next to you and gloating about how starry-eyed you would have gotten if you just saw the sick tricks he pulled off on a Biograft's head. "Pfttt, it was hilarious! Didn't even get a claw on me." Coil flexed his arms, prompting you to laugh in response of his antics.
💎 - You both talked for so long, he almost didn't catch you drifting off to sleep. Maybe it wss the way you just... Trusted him so easily despite the bravado he put on as a front, but it really made some part of him melt in your sleepy embrace. The infamous Hellhound might as well get some rest himself right?
