The Arcana x Reader Scenarios, Preferences, and More!

❤️ Insomniac MC ❤️

Asra:

- Asra understands struggling with sleep, especially if it has to do with nightmares or overthinking. Trying to relax you, they'll make you a nice cup of tea while rubbing your shoulders and back. Asra cuddles into your side, along with Faust, and reassures you that everything is going to be okay. They love you more than anything else in the world, and your comfort and needs rule above all else.

Julian:

- Julian has also had his fair share of sleepless nights, but he's not used to someone else joining him. His preferred methods of distracting you are sea shanties and random pirate/theater stories. Usually, he ends up making you laugh and you drift farther away from sleepiness. So, Julian ends up taking you down to the pier and you two rest against each other while staring at the moon. You inevitably fall asleep before he does, and a small, prideful smile rests on his face.

Nadia:

- Nadia would rather you not share her poor sleep schedule, but it is what it is. She'll offer to take you on a walk around the palace while the few palace staff that are left prepare you two a nighttime snack. Nadia will end up leading the conversation, with a few playful remarks here and there. Once you get back to your room, you see a tray loaded full of your favorite foods and drink. You don't hesitate to dig in, and within a few minutes, you're fast asleep. Nadia looks at you with happiness for you and pity for herself that she cannot sleep so easily.

Muriel:

- Muriel is very concerned whenever you sneak out of bed; however, you are usually smart enough to bring Inanna with you. Once he hears Inanna's howling, Muriel rushes outside to see you blankly staring at the moon while petting Inanna. He's not exactly sure what to do, so he simply tells you to go back inside before you freeze to death. When inside, Muriel hides his blush as he offers to cuddle you if you'll sleep better. You accept, and quickly fall asleep in his arms as Muriel secretly enjoys the feeling of you in his arms.

Portia:

- Portia usually doesn't hear you leave bed, since she's fast asleep because of how rough her days are. Your only comfort comes from the bright moon and a cuddly Pepi wanting a midnight snack. When she learns about your insomnia, she'll do her best to be prepared in advance. She'll leave out your favorite snack with a lovely note that is basically a very kindly-worded threat to get back in bed before she makes you get back in bed.

Lucio:

- Lucio sleeps like a rock, so he won't hear you at all; however, the dogs are a different story. Melchior and Mercedes decide to bark and howl very loudly when you pull the covers off of you in order to wander about and burn off some energy. Even then, Lucio manages to tell the dogs to shut the hell up in the sleepiest voice possible. He won't notice your nighttime excursions unless you tell him, in which he will drag your ass back to bed if he hears the dogs bark at you again.

A/N: Hello my guys, girls, and non-binary pearls! I'm sorry for not uploading yesterday. I wasn't feeling it, if that makes sense. I'm on spring break this week, so hopefully I can get to writing again! ❤️ (Also, holy cow, we're at 5K reads you guys! Thanks so much again huns!)

QOTD: Do you struggle to fall asleep?

AA: Absolutely! But I'm a teenager, which means that it's okay since my body was made to do so. It's okay to struggle to go to bed, we all do it sometimes. It's best to know that you will fall asleep eventually, but if something is seriously wrong, please go see a professional!!
