23. Sleepyhead (Joyful June 1)

Prompt: sleep

So me and a few people on the LU discord decided that we should have a month were we give the boys all the happiness in the world. This is after realizing there's Whumptober, Angstspril, Fanjoy July (which is mostly either angst or whump)... I think something in February, etc. We wanted to do it in August, but realized it sounded better in June... but June already passed... don't think about it too much. (I still wonder how I got to being one of the hosts seeing as I made cuddling of all things angsty-- but uhh) Anyway, every day we're hoping to share a new prompt to give the boys a bit more fluff! : D

Sky loved his bed. The fluffy mattress that was one foot tall prevented him from feeling the bed frame, much less the hard floor a few feet under that. The puffed-up pillow filled with old loftwing feathers molded to the shape of his head. The silky blanket felt smooth against his skin, and the thicker blankets that piled on top of it kept him in a cocoon of warmth. He shuddered as he sunk deeper into them, so that even his chin hid under his sheets. How dearly he had missed this. A bedroll was certainly better than nothing, but there was nothing like sleeping in his own bed, especially with all the hard work he had been doing. He inhaled deeply, taking in the beloved scent of birds mixed with pumpkin; the unmistakable scent of Skyloft. 

"Link, are you really going to sleep all day? It's past noon already!" A familiar voice asked with a huff, breaking into the serene silence. Now if the voice had belonged to anyone else, Sky would have been annoyed. But this one? Never. 

"Hmmm.... Yes." He grinned, not bothering to open his eyes. "I think that sounds lovely."

"Oh come on, sleepyhead. You can't just do that!" She exclaimed, her voice drawing nearer as she stomped her feet against the floor.

"Watch me." He grinned even more, squeezing his eyes shut even tighter.

 "Oh yeah?" The way that the pillow was forcefully grabbed from him and yanked away only made him laugh all the more. It was only then that he bothered to open his eyes, greeted with the most heavenly and goddess blessed sight of a woman he'd ever seen in his life. It never ceased to amaze him just how beautiful his Sun was and only seemed to grow more so with each passing day. "How you going to do that without your pillow?" She teased with a chuckle of her own.

"I guess I'll just have to get a new one!" Sky chuckled as he tackled her and pulled her into bed with him in one quick motion. Neither of them could contain their laughter any more as Sky's nonconsensual hug attack bloomed into a mutual embrace, lying down on the bed.

 "Are you telling me that you're seriously going to use ME as a pillow?" Sun chuckled. Sky hummed in response, rubbing his head all over her with a goofy grin. 

"MMMmmmmm... what a nice, soft pillow..." He decided as his eyelids fluttered closed again. 

"Link, you can't just--" Sun began to argue, but then she sighed in mock annoyance. He had somehow already fallen back asleep. "Fine..." And she too settled down before closing her own eyes.
