Summary: you, sleepy and tired, sit on Daniel's lap when he's playing video games. 

The Seavey household was usually quiet during evenings, but this particular night was different. After countless hours of friends and managers and bandmates bustling in and out of the house, Y/n was exhausted, but between the lively sound of Christian live streaming in his room, the persistent clicking and shuffling from Daniel behind his desk and the wintery patter of rain outside, Y/n found it extremely hard to fall asleep. She had wiped out on the living room sofa as the group of friends who had filled the couch hours ago were sitting and conversing, but the sudden sharp echo of rain and thunder had awoken her. The dark atmosphere and awkward sound of chirping crickets signalled the late hours of night.

The lack of curtains covering the windows had allowed the blazing beam of artificial light from the streetlamp faraway to enter the house and it flickered brightly on Y/n's face as she lifted herself up through a squinted gaze. Her tired legs had led her unconsciously to Daniel's bedroom - it was really no surprise since the way to his room was almost muscle memory to her.

"Come on, Will, he's right there! Just get 'im!" Daniel yelled loudly, his headset sat lopsided on his head and his hat would've nearly tipped off his head if it wasn't for the slight balance of the chair's backrest. Y/n yawned tiredly as she lifted her gaze to him. "Oh God, shi-."

"Daniel." Y/n called sweetly with a raspy voice. Daniel snapped his head over his shoulder.

"Hi, baby." His voice softened as he saw her leaning against the trim of the door from several paces away and he let a gentle smile play on his pink lips.

"Mhm." Y/n breathed, trudging across the hardwood floor with her bleary eyes barely opened. Daniel simply let his gaze linger on her sleepy yet cute figure but turned back to his bright monitor for a moment to say goodbye and shut off the game without a second thought - without any thought really, it felt like second nature to pay full attention to his girlfriend.

"Will, I gotta go, see ya!" He called gently, pulling off his headset to toss it on the desktop. Y/n stopped just behind Daniel's shoulder and tugged gently at the soft material of his t-shirt as if to pull him closer for a cuddle.

"Baby," Daniel giggled quietly through the tranquil room and shifted his chair to lift her onto his lap. Y/n merely melted into his chest and draped her left arm over his shoulder lazily. Daniel dropped his gaze to her fragile figure, "I'm sorry for waking you." He spoke ever so quietly and brushed her dishevelled hair back from her face.

"S'okay" Y/n muttered, tightening her grip around his shoulders. Daniel reached under her legs to shuffle her further up on the gaming chair and dragged an arm to rest on her side lovingly. He drew haphazard patterns on her back with his fingers, even spelling out 'I love you' despite the incredible level of sleepiness in her presence.

"Baby?" Daniel asked, peering just below him to glimpse at Y/n. She mustered all the energy she could and glared shyly back at his blue eyes. She could see the paused video game reflected in his eyes from the screen across him, they shone as bright as lighthouse beams despite the purple=blueish  hue that engulfed the room.

"What?" She responded plainly. Her eyes flickered to his delicate lips for a moment, but she hid her slight feeling of desire behind an irritated frown.

"I love you." Daniel answered. Y/n dropped her gaze in annoyance, almost immediately after the three words slipped from his lips and she tensed her arms again. Daniel chuckled cheekily, continuing to speak just to tug at her patience. "-and I just want you to know that-"

"Shh." Y/n lifted her forefinger up to his lips to quieten him, but Daniel let giggles out nevertheless, feeling the gentle touch of her finger on his velvet-like lips. Y/n finally snapped her head to look at him sternly, but as she laid her eyes on him, her subtle frown and furrowed brows relaxed into a smile too and the young couple shared light laughter. After a few moments, Daniel and Y/n found themselves lingering on each other. Daniel shuffled Y/n on his lap cautiously to set his legs in between hers. With a slight huff and a gentle gaze, he let his eyes drift from the toothy, innocent grin on her face that mirrored his own to the pearly, glimmering eyes staring into his. The small gap between them was closed after a few fleeting seconds. Y/n rested her palm on his chest, and she leaned into him, and Daniel dragged a hand slowly up her back. He made sure to tickle her skin mischievously as his palm made his way up to the back of her head. "Hmm, stop." Y/n giggled and shuddered with annoyance.

Daniel shrugged obliviously. "Wasn't me." He stated. Y/n glared at him and sent a mischievous smirk back with a light shove to his shoulder.

"I hate when you do-." Daniel cut her off mid-sentence as he locked his lips with hers and moved his hands up to graze her pink cheeks. Y/n froze for a couple long seconds before she melted back into his touch. The comfort of his warmth and the soothing quality of his heartbeat upon her palm had her pulling back to relish in the presence of her boyfriend. Daniel let his eyes close as he pressed a gentle kiss to her hair, and he inhaled the scent of her recently washed hair that smelt of vanilla and... honey. Y/n tucked her head into his neck and peppering kisses along his jawline as if to give Daniel a taste of his own medicine.

"Okay, okay..." He chuckled quietly and Y/n felt the low rumble of his voice reverberate through her ears. "I get it, you don't like tickles." He rolled his eyes jokingly.

"You know what I do like?" Y/n asked, tracing the neckline of his t-shirt with her fingers.

Daniel glanced down at her expectantly and cracked a smile in sheer confidence of her response. "Chocolate." She said blankly. She could nearly feel Daniel's grimace form on his face.

"Yuck..." His disgust earned a chuckle from Y/n, and he gazed down at her benevolently, "you know what I love?" He asked as his fingers danced up and down her arms. Y/n hummed to allow him to continue. "You." He said, "I love you, forever and always." His words fell from his lips as simple as a mere breath yet were enriched with unimaginable truth and adoration.

Y/n's energy was fading as every minute passed but she still replied with the same genuine words that were spoken to her.

"I love you, forever and always."
