God damnit. You had a school assignment due tomorrow and you forgot about it. You stared at a blank screen. How would you come up with writing over 500 words about how your powers could help the unempowered. Just to add to the stress, you haven't been able to get proper sleep for two days, you could barely keep your eyes open. You heard a big woosh behind you. "Are you okay?". You spun around so fast it made your head ache. When you saw Caelum you calmed down a bit. "Cae, I told you not to do that!". He looked pretty sad, you felt bad. "I'm sorry. I just have this to do and on top of that, I can't sleep!" you said. "Well, if you wanna get sleep, looking at that screen really won't help. I-i mean if anything it will make it worse cause when you look at it, it's so bright that it makes your eyes think 'oh it's day time' when your brain thinks 'no it's sleepytime! ''" you let out a long sigh. "I know..." you looked back at your laptop. "Lets just close this~" he said holding out the s and then closed the laptop. You looked back at him, his eyes meeting yours. He held his arms out. A confused look fell on your face. He slid his arms under yours and lifted you up. "What are you doing!" you said, squirming around like a fish out of water. He held you with one hand and with the other, slightly pulled your head down onto his shoulder. "Shh, it's fine. I'm going to take you to the bedroom.". You wrapped your legs around him and gave in. He walked you and him to the bedroom. "I'm going to lay you on the bed". He set you down and covered you up then smiled. "Your knots are almost gone". You smiled. He got up. "Where are you going?" he looked back at you. "Didn't you want me to?". You felt your face get hot. "Uhm, not really.". There was a moment of silence. "A-alright" he said, then climbed under the blankets. He pulled you in close to him, he was warm. You couldn't tell if it was from you being so close or if that was just his normal body temperature. You and him stayed like that for a while. You were almost asleep till you got the idea. You were in that place where you didn't really know what you were doing. You reached your hand up and ran your index finger from the tip of his horn to the bottom. You felt him shudder. They were so soft, yet so bumpy. You kept doing that for a while until he got used to the feeling. "They are really soft" you said, your words slurred and quiet. "Thank you. Get some sleep now. It's okay, I've got you." You pulled your hand away and cuddled into him more. The next thing you knew, you had closed your eyes and drifted into sleep.
