you and ningning had been together for a few months now, and you loved spending time with her. you loved the way she smiled at you, the way she laughed, and the way she made you feel.

one night, after a long day of work and errands, you and ningning cuddled up together in bed. you wrapped your arms around her, feeling her warmth and her softness against your body. you loved the way she felt, the way she smelled, and the way she made you feel safe.

as you drifted off to sleep, you felt ningning snuggle up closer to you, her head resting on your chest. you smiled contentedly, feeling her breath against your skin.

but then, without warning, you broke the cuddle with ningning away.

you didn't mean to do it, of course. it was just a reflex, a sudden movement that came out of nowhere. you were still half-asleep, barely conscious of what was happening around you.

ningning stirred beside you, her eyes opening slowly. she looked up at you, confusion written all over her face.

"what happened?" she asked, her voice soft.

you blinked, feeling disoriented. "what do you mean?" you asked, not understanding.

"you broke the cuddle," ningning said, her voice gentle.

you mumbled an apology and tried to reach out and hold her again, but she pulled away from you, curling up on the other side of the bed.

"i can't sleep without cuddling," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "and you don't want to hold me"

you felt a pang of sadness and guilt. you knew that you had to make it up to her, but you didn't know how.

the rest of the night was spent in silence, with ningning turning away from you and you lying awake, feeling helpless.

the next morning, you woke up to ningning giving you the silent treatment. you knew that she was still upset with you, and you didn't blame her.

you tried to talk to her, to apologize and explain that you didn't mean to hurt her, but she wouldn't listen. she just turned away from you, refusing to engage.

you spent the day walking on eggshells, not sure how to make things right. you tried to make her breakfast, but she refused to eat. you tried to suggest going for a walk, but she just shook her head.

you felt lost and alone, not sure how to fix the situation. you loved ningning more than anything, and you didn't want to lose her.

finally, in the evening, ningning spoke up.

"why did you break the cuddle?" she asked, her voice quiet. "did you not want to cuddle with me?" she asked, her voice trembling.

you shook your head, "baby no," you said, feeling the words come out in a rush. "of course i do want to cuddle with you, but i guess last night i was unconscious and tired. im sorry, love"

ningning looked at you for a moment, and then she reached out to take your hand. you felt a surge of relief and hope, grateful that she was willing to touch you again.

"it's okay," she said, her voice soft. "i know you love cuddling with me. but it hurt when you broke away like that. it felt like you didn't want me."

you shook your head, feeling your heart ache. "i want you more than anything," you said, feeling the words ring true in your chest. "i love you, ningning. i never want to hurt you."

ningning looked at you for a moment longer, and then she leaned in to kiss you. it was a soft, gentle kiss, full of forgiveness and understanding.

you felt a wave of relief wash over you, grateful that she was willing to forgive you. you wrapped your arms around her, pulling her close, and she snuggled into your chest.

"i'm sorry," you said again, feeling tears prick at your eyes. "i didn't mean to hurt you. i'll do anything to make it up to you."

ningning looked up at you, a small smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "how about we cuddle all night tonight?" she asked, her voice teasing.

you smiled back at her, feeling a surge of love. "anything you want," you said, meaning it with all your heart.

the rest of the night was spent in a tangle of limbs and warmth, with ningning snuggled up against you and you holding her close. you didn't move away, not even in your sleep, and ningning slept soundly, breathing softly against your chest.

you woke up the next morning feeling more content and at peace than you had in a long time. ningning was curled up beside you, her head on your shoulder, and you felt a surge of love and gratitude.

you leaned in to kiss her, feeling her lips soft against yours, and you knew that you would do anything to make her happy. you would cuddle with her all night, every night, if that's what it took to show her how much you loved her.

in the end, it was the small moments of tenderness and love that mattered the most, and you were grateful to have ningning by your side.
