Shino Pov:

After lessening to Artemis story I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He pretty much blame himself for something he can't even control.

I couldn't help but pull Artemis into a hug where he started to cry in my chest. I was holding him close trying to think of anything that can make him better but after a while I started to here light soft Snores coming from below me.

When I look down again I saw Artemis just had cry himself to sleep which made me worry but also glad at the same time.

As I slowly put him to bed I felt him grab my arm as a plead to not leave him.

Artemis in sleep talk: pls don't leave me

I couldn't leave after that so I just let out a huge sigh before jumping into bed with Artemis and started slowly falling to sleep cuddling Artemis as close as I can to make sure he knows that he is safe and sound

Artemis Pov:

I started to slowly woke up after the lone night I had but at the same time I really didn't want to get out of bed. All I want is to just sleep my trouble away before getting up and and fighting threw the day.

I just wish that sometimes I can just disappear away from all the trouble that I cause and maybe even save the danger that I would cause in the future.

While laying there I couldn't help but snuggle into something warm. It was right next to me and for some reason I feel safe. I just wanted to curl up into a ball and have this warm thing keep me safe for the rest of my life but that when I realized this wasn't a pillow as I felt it move and arms going around me.

I open my eyes to see shino there sleeping in my bed

Artemis Mind- oh my gosh this has to be a dream right?
