"Taylor?" You called out as you walked through the front door. "I'm home!"

You started to kick off your shoes and a felt Benjamin rubbing against your leg. You bent down to run your fingers through his soft fur as he purred loudly at your touch.

"Hi, buddy," you whispered and kissed his head before you shrugged off your jacket and started to look around for Taylor.

It wasn't late, so you thought you'd find her downstairs with friends playing while she pet her cats or snacked on something, like you usually find her when you come home on her off days.

But instead, you didn't see her anywhere. There was no mouthwatering aroma in the air from her cooking coming from the kitchen or see her on the sofa. Instead, she only left the lights on for you before making her way to bed tonight.

You climbed the stairs quickly and made it to the doorway of your shared room, where you were met with the precious sight of your girlfriend curled up in bed.

She lied on her stomach, her left cheek resting on the pillowcase as soft snores left her parted pink lips. Her hair was pulled back into a messy braid, her back rising and falling with every inhale and exhale, and Olivia was curled up at her feet, while Meredith lied on the floor.

You tiptoed across the hardwood floor and over to her. The last thing you wanted to do was disturb her sleep. She's been so busy in the studio lately and has spent hours and hours working hard on writing and recording. She needed some good sleep.

But when she turned over and a few soft sounds fell from her lips in the process, your heart almost burst out of your chest.

You couldn't help but climb into bed and reach out to caress her cheek. She stirred at your touch even cracking a cute little smile in her sleep.

You kissed her cheek lovingly before you attempted to climb out of bed ever so carefully. But she woke up at the dip of the mattress, catching your wrist gently in her hand.

"Y/n? Where are you going?"

"I was just gonna go brush my teeth then climb into bed with you."

"Don't go." She mumbled sadly, pouting her lips. "I missed you today and I want to cuddle with you."

"I'll give you all the cuddles you want, Tay," you said and watched her smile in response. "After I brush my teeth."

She whined but dropped your wrist to let you go. She waited impatiently for you to return and occupied herself by petting Olivia until the door opened and you stepped out. Her eyes lit up as she watched you stride across the room and then climb under the covers with her.

You started to caress her cheek right away. Her eyes slipped shut at the brush of your hand, finding the utmost comfort and joy at your sweet caresses.

"You're so sweet, Tay," you whispered, only for her to shake her head and bring your hand from her cheek and to her lips, where she peppered kisses across your palm.

"You're sweet, darling. Did you have a good day?" She wondered as she intertwined her fingers with yours.

"Yeah. I think yours was better though. Looks like you caught up on sleep."

"I did. I needed it."

"I know you did, Tay." You smiled and brought her in for a loving kiss.

"But I missed you!" She said and squeezed you tight, making you laugh as you dropped your head on her chest. "It wasn't the same spending the day in bed without you here to cuddle."

"I love you."

"I love you too." She whispered softly in your ear before laying a bunch of sweet kisses to your neck "Sleepy?'

"Yeah, and very warm."

She giggled and laid her head on yours. "Me too. Goodnight, y/n. Have sweet dreams, baby girl." She mumbled before falling back asleep, this time even cozier and well-rested than before.
