CHARLIE WAS LAYING IN HIS BED

on his side holding your frame close to his,his hand resting just below your head that was curling into his chest.

the two of you huddled up together with a peaceful silence gracing the room.the steady sounds of breathing add to the restful silence that blesses their evening.after having their own separate long days,they had managed to find eachother in the bedroom,both getting ready for bed in their routine they join at the heart of the room

charlie lays down first in his usual position,scrolling through twitter as he waits for you.when you finally slip under the sheets,you snuggle up against one and other,saying your shared "i love you"'s and wishing eachother "sweet dreams"s as you both doze off into dream filled sleep.

but that didn't happen this night

nothing bad had happened to be laying awake at night thinking-yet here you both were unable to sleep,and waiting for the other to fall first.

charlie is the first to speak, in a low whisper. "you asleep baby?" he lowers his chin to watch for movement and you groan lightly, moving to lay your head on the pillow beside him.charlie gracefully placing his arm under your head to still have some form of contact

"nope" you respond getting comfy laying on your back staring at the ceiling.the silence fades back again slowly,and he sighs what you think is of contendness and before you could even think about it, you spoke sleepy questions from a sleepy mind.

"do you think time is real?like in reality it's such a man made concept right?" both you and charlie were sleepy but seriously thinking about it

"honestly yeah.cause it's like 12 am but really whos to say that it is?we could say it's 8 pm and they can't prove us wrong.do you think unicorns neigh like horses or have a different sound?" you paused at his question, considering it.

"definitely the latter" you say punctuating your sentence with a yawn and snuggling closer to charlie who himself was slowly becoming more tired.

eyelids slightly becoming heavy, he mumbled "mhm....i'm gonna have a unicorn one day" snuggling into you even more, finally feeling sleep wash over them both

"you will baby, ill make sure of it" you mumbled before feeling the rise and fall of charlie breathing softly lulling you into sleep
