6 hours of nonsense (niki)

Requested by iliterallyloveu pls enjoy!! we can never have enough niki fluff in this world :)

The screen seemed to flicker in front of your eyes, the letter merging and twisting together to create a jumbled mess. You sighed, looking at the time and frowning when you saw it said 12 am.

You had started this work at 6 pm.

Tempted to just close your laptop and sleep, you resisted the urge and turned back to the screen, laboriously typing more sentences, hoping they made sense. This stupid thesis-why on earth had you left it until the day before?

Eyes half-closed, you managed to squeeze out another sentence, head almost falling onto the keyboard and ruining it. Suddenly, a thought occurred to you. You weren't even finished, but you would have to proofread it in order to make sure it made sense. The idea of having to read through your half-asleep ramblings made you want to rip your hair out. You slumped onto the table, rubbing your eyes to try and stay awake.

"Why are you still awake?" Niki sat down next to you, arms already reaching out to hug you. She took one look at the screen and rolled her eyes, moving it closer to her. "You've been doing this for hours."

"Yeah-" you interrupted yourself with a yawn. "-cause it's due tomorrow and I need to do it now...almost done I think though."

"Nope. You can do this later." Shaking her head at your half-hearted protests, she dragged you away, not having to use much effort since you were so tired. In the time it took you to shuffle over to the bed and lie down, she had already found blankets, laying them out, ready for you to lie down. When she was about to tuck you in, you shook your head, holding out your arms expectantly. If she was going to force you to stop working, she was basically obligated to give you cuddles.

Smiling, she joined you under the blankets, wrapping her arms around you and pulling you in towards her. You practically melted, feeling all the tension from before softening immediately, snuggling even closer to her. She let out a laugh, stroking your hair. "So you really were stressed, huh?"

"Hmm..." you answered, eyelids drooping. You could worry about your thesis later, right now you had to enjoy these cuddles. A hand rubbed your back comfortingly, and Niki whispered something to you-something you couldn't quite catch, but it was probably something sweet. You relaxed against her, your tight hold loosening and eyes now completely closed.

Niki watched you fall asleep, slowly moving her arm from underneath you and reaching for your laptop, which she had brought from where you were working. Opening it, she looked at your thesis, holding back a laugh at the nonsensical sentences she saw.

Proofreading this was going to be a challenge.

(A/N-actually quite proud of this one :))
