A/N : 420 words in the fic eyyooooo

Todd was having trouble sleeping.

This wasn't uncommon for him. After all, who would have an easy time sleeping after watching your ex be ran over and then getting killed yourself? He still loathed the Grim Reaper for killing him so harshly... Plus, now he had sleep issues on top of the other mental strains that had caused.

He got up out of bed. He felt a bit self conscious about being shirtless, as his body image wasn't exactly positive, but he decided he didn't care if he was just gonna go check on Rafael.

Upon entering the servant's room, he realized that Rafael was not actually asleep. He was laying down, but his body language was far too shaky for him to actually be asleep. "Riff Raff?" Todd called out quietly, a bit confused at the fact that he was also awake at this ungodly hour.

"Yeah?" Rafael responded in a low, depressed sounding voice. Todd frowned. Something was clearly wrong, and he was going to get to the bottom of it.

"Is everything okay?" The chef asked cautiously as he crawled into bed next to Rafael. "Did you need something?" Rafael asked, deflecting his question. Todd sighed and placed a small kiss on his boyfriend's forehead.

"I didn't need anything, Riff Raff" he said quietly. It was now up close that he noticed the faint tear marks down Rafael's cheeks and the hoodie he was wearing being far bigger than the one he normally wore.

"Is it the dysphoria?" he asked gently, running his thumb over the servant's cheek. Rafael just nodded. "I'm sorry, love" Todd allowed Rafael to fully curl up into his check. "Can I help?"

Rafael just shrugged. Normally physical touch would just make him feel more dysphoric, but it was different with Todd. He didn't treat him like a girl, or like some other gender. Rafael was a guy, and Todd saw him as such.

"Okay" Todd nodded. "Just know that I love you, and that you are the most handsome man I've ever met"

"Even over Randall or Jasper?" Rafael looked into Todd's red eyes. He usually wore bandages over his scarred one, but he kept those off when it was just the two of them late at night like this. "Oh, Randall and Jasper are fine, don't get me wrong, but they got nothing on you"

Rafael chuckled. "I love you, Todd" he said softly. "And thanks for putting up with my emotional bullshit"

"You don't need to thank me, mera pyaar"
