“If anyzhing happens to me, you know zhat you will be taken care of, ja?” He finally raised his head to meet her eyes. “Financially, you will be secure, if I was unable to care for you any longer. And Hannah would take care of you. You know zhis, don’t you?”

“Yes?” Brows furrowing, where was he going with this all of a sudden? It was out of nowhere. Looking down at him, her mouth forming a thin line. “I know all that but how can you tell me not to worry when you’re saying those things now? Is something going on?” 

“I just want to lie here for a while.” He sighed and refused to raise his head. “It’s nozhing to worry yourself about right now. Everyzhing will be fine, mein Schatzchen.” 

“As long as you need.” Of course she’s going to worry about it, silently, inwardly at least. She’s closer to him now that they are stationed together, that’s something. ”If you say so.”

“No. Nozhing is okay. Nozhing is ever okay.” He buried his face in her bosom and closed his eyes.

thinking about ur otps napping is SO IMPORTANT. Does one protectively shush anyone who comes near their sleeping partner. Does one come home to find the other sleeping on the floor under a table or curled in a corner. Does the partner wake them up and move them to some place more comfortable or do they roll their eyes and cover them with a blanket whatever weird place they are. Do their roommates come home to find them both tangled in impossible positions and marvel at how they are somehow asleep. Who gets really emotional the first time they fall asleep together. Who drools on the other one’s chest. Who wakes up with the other’s hair in their nose. these are the necessary questions.
