It was a dark and quiet night in the forest, and everyone was asleep. Everyone except for Lo'ak
He lay in his bed, tossing and turning, trying to find a comfortable position. He knew that if he didn't get some rest soon, he would be exhausted in the morning. Frustrated, he decided to go for a late night run. Maybe the fresh air and exercise would help him clear his mind and finally fall asleep.
He slipped out of his tent and started running through the forest. The cool night air was refreshing, and the sound of his footsteps was the only thing he could hear. He ran for miles, his mind racing with thoughts and emotions. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing, and he didn't know what it was.

As he was running, he had a sudden urge to see Y/N.

Lo'ak's thoughts turned to Y/N. He missed her terribly and found himself thinking about her constantly. Suddenly, an idea came to him. He would sneak into Y/N's tent and see her, even if it was just for a moment. He knew it was risky, but he couldn't shake the feeling that it was something he needed to do. even if it was just for a moment.

He arrived at the campsite and snuck into Y/N's tent, trying not to wake anyone up. He approached her bed and leaned over, trying to see her face in the dark. He saw her lying in her bed, her breathing slow and steady. He was tempted to wake her up, but he didn't want to startle her. So, he began to whisper her name She was sound asleep He whispered her name, "Y/N," and waited for a response. She didn't respond, and he started to whisper her name again and again. "Y/N, Y/N, Y/N, Y/N." Finally, Y/N groggily stirred, her eyes slowly opening. "Lo'ak? What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice groggy. Lo'ak was relieved that she was awake. "I missed you and couldn't fall asleep," he replied, trying to keep his voice low.

Y/N rubbed her eyes, trying to shake off the grogginess. "It's the middle of the night, Lo'ak. How did you even get in here?" she asked, confused. "I snuck in," Lo'ak admitted sheepishly

Y/N shook her head in confusion. "Okay, what do you want me to do about that? Lo'ak asked her. "Can I just sleep here? I can leave if you want," he added quickly, not wanting to overstay his welcome

Y/N looked at Lo'ak, still trying to process what was happening. She could see the exhaustion and vulnerability in his eyes and she knew he was going through something. "Of course, you can stay," she said softly, "I don't want you to leave."

Lo'ak felt a weight lifted off his shoulders and sat down on the edge of her bed. He looked at her and said, "I'm sorry for waking you up like this, and for being so sudden. I just couldn't sleep and I needed to see you."

Y/N couldn't help but smile at Lo'ak's request. Despite the late hour and the unusual circumstances, she couldn't deny that she was happy to have him there with her. She watched as Lo'ak lay down on her bed and snuggled into her arm. She felt her warmth and her soothing scent surrounded him. He closed his eyes and finally fell into a deep sleep, feeling content and at peace in Y/N's arms. She could feel his warmth and she could smell his familiar scent. He looked so peaceful and content as he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

She felt her own eyes start to droop as she lay there, listening to the sound of Lo'ak's breathing. She couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort and security having him there with her. She knew that she was falling asleep too, feeling so content and at peace in his arms.

As she drifted off to sleep, she couldn't help but think about how much Lo'ak meant to her. She knew that they had their ups and downs but she couldn't imagine her life without him. She felt grateful that he had come to see her and she felt happy that he was there with her, sharing the warmth and safety of her bed. She knew that this was where he belonged, in her arms.

In that moment, as she fell asleep, she realized that no matter what happens, she will always be there for him and she will always have a place for him in her life and in her heart. And with that thought in mind, she finally fell asleep, feeling content and at peace in Lo'ak's arms.
