I will put a warning right now for the slight degradation/verbal teasing and maybe a small showing of a pain kink but it's honestly not bad at all
Wilbur sat at his desk, holding up his head with his hand as he read a book. It was 23:30 and he was beyond tired, but couldn't bring himself to go to bed. That's when he heard a knock at the door.
"Yeah come in." He said, not taking his eyes off his book. Schlatt opened the door and walked into the crow's office (yes I made Wilbur a crow like Phil shush). "Hey, soot." Schlatt said. Wilbur looked up and stared at the man in confusion. There was no hint of hatred or cockiness in his voice, he seemed.. friendly.
"Did you need something Schlatt?" Wilbur asked, a hint of confusion in his voice. "I just wanted to see you. And god you look tired, we should get you to bed." Schlatt replied. "I'm fine." Wilbur rolled his eyes, earning a smirk from the ram. "Oh, birdie's being bratty now? I didn't ask if you wanted to go to bed, We're going."
Wilbur blushed at Schlatt's words. "Fine. Fucking idiot." Wilbur muttered under his breath. "Continue with the bratty attitude and see where it gets you, darling." Schlatt said, keeping his tone low. This made Wilbur blush a deeper red.
"Can you just take me to bed so we can cuddle already?" Wilbur blurted out, immediately covering his mouth and going more red from embarrassment. "Aw don't be embarrassed love, I'll cuddle you all you want."
"We're supposed to be enemies, Schlatt." Wilbur said, earning a smile from the ram. "Why do we have to be enemies?"Schlatt asked. Wilbur paused. He had never thought of that, he had only ever thought of the fact that they were competing against each other. That must mean they're enemies, right?
Wilbur placed the bookmark back into his book, closing it and placing it on the side of his neatly organized desk. He sighed and stood up, walking sleepily towards Schlatt before wrapping his arms around the shorter and placing his head on his shoulder.
"Wow, you really are tired, aren't you?" Schlatt smiled at Wilbur. All Schlatt heard was a muffled "mhmm" from the taller. Schlatt tapped the back of Wilbur's thigh, gesturing for him to jump. Wilbur jumped up and wrapped his legs around Schlatt as the ram held his thighs to keep him up.
"Let's get you to bed, sweetheart." Schlatt said. Schlatt adjusted his grip on Wilbur's thighs, accidentally digging his nails into one thigh. The gesture earned a small whimper from Wilbur.
Schlatt chuckled. "Pain kink, I'll keep that in mind." Wilbur blushed again at the ram's words. "Just carry me to bed alreadyyy" Wilbur said with a slight whine in his voice.
"Whatever you say birdie." Schlatt carried Wilbur to his room, laying him down on the bed. Being impatient as always, Wilbur quickly pulled Schlatt down into the bed with him and cuddled close to him.
"How the fuck are you so warm all the time?" Wilbur mumbled. "I have no idea darling" Schlatt answered with a smile. Wilbur expanded one wing and put it over schlatt, putting the other behind his back.
Schlatt stroked Wilbur's wing gently, earning faint happy chirps from him. "I know you love being adorable and all that but you need to sleep sunshine" Schlatt said as he continued to stroke the crow's wing. "I don't wanna sleep thoughhh" Wilbur whined.
Schlatt sighed and kissed the top of Wilbur's head. "If you don't sleep now I'll stop visiting so often" Wilbur tightened his arms around the ram. "Can't leave if I don't let you go bitch" he answered. "Wilbur, my darling, please go to sleep. It's almost midnight."
Wilbur muttered something in unintelligible before burying his face in Schlatt's chest. Schlatt layed there quietly, continuing to stroke Wilbur's wing gently until he heard the crow's breathing steady. He smiled. "Goodnight my little crow." He whispered before drifting off to sleep. They were happy in each other's arms...
...they felt safe.
