You were welcomed by a body smashing against you, pulling you into a warm snuggle. All the previous nervousness felt like as if they never existed. Shawn's hand snaked around your hip bones to your waist, embracing them. You swore that you could feel Shawn's smirk on his face as it touched your shoulder blades. Your hand subconsciously begins to trace around Shawn's body. Your hand halts as you hear his soft giggles. "Hehe, Tickles. Don't tickle Shawnie. " He says while chuckling softly.

You stop dead at the track as you just realize your hand was feeling his whole body and the fact that Shawn was shirtless made your cheek to flush a shade darker pink than usual.

Damn it, Urvi, you need to control yourself  ,You curse yourself again.

Part of you want to kick his body out and set yourself free from his grip, but you couldn't Whenever you came from work, you were never relaxed but always exhausted. Having someone at home waiting for you to come back so they could snuggle you like this and make you feel untroubled was something that you craved unknowingly.

"Urvi, Shawnie is hungry." He pulls himself apart and shows you his heart-melting pout.

"But I left food for you." You tiredly speak, feeling extremely weak on the knees all of a sudden. You felt the need for water as if you were dehydrated and somewhat dizzy.

"Shawnie ate all of them."

"Who-" You almost about to question who was that finished three days worth of food, before you remind yourself how Shawnie always speaks in third person. Even though it is very adorable, but you couldn't help but get confused, especially when you were this exhausted to even use your brain.

You only sigh. It wasn't unnoticed by Shawnie though.

"Urvi is tired?"

"No Shawnie, I will make you some food." You distressingly response, almost stumbling at your words. Your eyes could not stay still and subconsciously wants to close down, after all, you didn't sleep for days.

You stumble on your way to the kitchen. Your house light was dimmed which made even harder for you to trace any obstacles on the floor. You were almost about to trip over something when Shawn's hand clutches your waist in a blink of an eye and instantly pulls you to his body. This sudden movement had you shook as you find yourself attached to his body in a given second.

Your eyes struggle to open, but when it did, you witness something changing in him.

His eyes. His eyes were one of the shades of brown. You suddenly notice how much of brown eyes he has, almost reminding you of chocolates. Chocolates always associated with nostalgic memories of childhood. The innocence, the happiness. Shawnie reminded you of that forgotten innocence and purity. However, something was different now, You couldn't find the innocence in his eyes at that moment, in fact, it looked cold and firm, almost manly? His eyes had this darken aura that did not look resemble the person who you have been babysitting for two weeks. You almost forgot that he was the person, who you are responsible to take care of.

"Shawnie...."

"Shh... Don't speak, you are tired." His voice was deeper than usual.

You couldn't hear the rest of it as you doze off at the spot.

Next morning

"Mmm." You start a morning grumble, as you feel your lower body numb. Your breathing was loud, but not in a bad way. It was insanely weird since each time you woke up, you welcomed your day with a curse for waking up early or simply because you couldn't get enough sleep. However, today you felt great about yourself; You felt light-headed for some reason, whereas your bed felt extra soft. Wait, am I sleeping on my bed?
