Billy Kid 📶 One Shots 📶

Restless Without You

Sleep escaped you for yet another night. Once again you were up at an ungodly hour of the night, and nothing you did helped you get to sleep in the slightest. Your restless mind refused to let your tired body sleep despite the fact that it was three in the morning, and it frustrated you deeply. You tossed and turned over and over until you threw the covers off with a huff, deeply upset that you couldn't get to sleep with little tears of frustration in the corners of your eyes.

"I just wanna sleep... Why can't I sleep..." You muttered, clutching one of your pillows tightly.

Defeated and out of ideas on how to aid your sleep, you gave up and reached for your phone instead, deciding to screw around since you couldn't sleep. What was the harm in a bit of late night forum scrolling when the world refused to grant you peace anyway?

You had spent twenty, maybe thirty minutes scrolling through forums and reading ridiculous stories until your phone buzzed in your hand with a message; a message from Billy, your love. The first part of the text was visible in the notification bar, and he was was asking what you were doing online so late. Opening it fully, he teased you a bit further into the message, and a chuckle finally slipped past your lips. You told him you couldn't sleep, and nothing was working to help you get to sleep. Then, he offered to call you, mentioning that his voice might help you. Of course you agreed, delighted to see his name pop up on your phone, accepting his call instantly.

"Hey silly~" You greeted in a tired, raspy voice.

"Oh wow, you even sound tired. My poor cutie..." Billy hummed, voice dripping with concern over the phone.

"Mmhmm... I crave sleep. I dunno why it won't come to me... I'm so tired, Billy." You mumbled sleepily.

"Aw, hun... Mmm, do you have any classical music downloaded? It helps many people relax!" He suggested with good intentions.

"I don't... No music discs either. I'd stream it, but the ads..." You sighed.

The phone was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Would you want me to come over and bring some of my music discs for you?"

His offer made you smile. "Mm, you can, but I think you coming over would be just as good too. Having you here would be perfect, actually."

"Oh? And what makes you so sure that my presence would be enough for you?" He then asked, genuinely curious.

"Well, you were right, the sound of your voice alone so far has stopped my tears of frustration. I think your presence would do wonders." You told him.

Your words made him melt, and he let slip a quiet 'aww' with a sigh. "Really?"

"Mmhmm. Do you think you could make it to me?" You asked sweetly, softening your tone a little more.

"Yeah, I can. For you, I'll make it anywhere." He told you, the sound of him already shuffling around audible in the background.

"Cool." You hummed. "The door will unlock when you get here. I bought a ew e-lock, so just knock and I'll unlock it for you remotely."

"Will do. See you soon cutie~" He hummed, hanging up.

As the light of your phone scree dimmed again at the end of the call, you curled up holding that same pillow with a smile slowly spreading on your face. You'd never been so grateful that he was also stuck awake for whatever reason and thought of you. Now your heart beat excitedly in wait of him, and you didn't mind at all since you couldn't sleep anyway. Twenty minutes passed while you waited in anticipation, and then you heard his knock at your door. He must have left right when he hung up to get to you so quickly, and you wouldn't slow him down now. You unlocked your door with the app on your phone and heard his heavy steps enter your home, locking the door behind himself.

"I'm here babe, where are ya?" He called out softly.

"In my rooooom." You replied from behind your slightly cracked door.

Billy responded to you and quickly followed the sound of your voice, going into your room where he found you curled up on your bed clutching a pillow. When you turned to face him, he saw your deep set eyebags that hung under your sleep deprived eyes.

"Oh hun, you really are exhausted." He huffed.

You perked up upon hearing his voice, then paused curiously once you saw how he looked standing in your doorway. Holding a couple music discs in his hand, he stood there in fuzzy black sweatpants and a loose tank top, gazing down at you sweetly. It had never occurred to you if he would even need to wear pajamas, but seeing that he preferred to regardless made you giggle a little.

"You look so cuddly like that... C'mere." You requested, reaching out with one hand and making a grabbing gesture at him.

"Alright, one second." He chuckled. "Let me set up this music disc first. Told ya I'd bring a couple of mine."

You nodded to give him the okay, and he got one of his discs playing in the background. It admittedly eased the tension in the room from your sleepy frustration, and soon, Billy had turned back to you, crawling up onto your bed and snaking his arms around your waist while he nestled himself into your pile of blankets next to you.

"Hey there cutie. Still can't sleep?" He cooed, rubbing your back.

"Mmhmm. I'm hoping you can fix that." You giggled, cuddling up to him.

"Wanna lay on my chest?"

You lifted yourself up while nodding, earning more chuckles from him as he made a gesture for you to wait a moment. He started to grab one of your pillows to put between you and him, but once you realized what he was doing, you stopped him and took it away, quietly mumbling the word 'no' while you reached for one of your many blankets instead. You folded it up a couple times— not too thickly though, before you placed it atop his chest and pushed him down into your bed. He blushed brightly as you snuggled up atop his chest, clutching his form tightly while he readjusted his grip a your waist.

"I wanna be as close to you as I can." You mumbled. "The pillow is in the way of that."

"Are you sure I'm not too stiff for you to lay on?" He asked, always worried about your comfort.

You shook your head. "I've slept on my kitchen floor before. besides... You're so warm... And you feel nice to hold."

"You really like that heater upgrade I got huh?" He hummed.

You nodded again with a hum, tracing your fingertips along his bicep while you melted into his warmth. he shivered a bit from your touch, finding that he was always much weaker to specifically yours. You had started to place kisses on his chest, but as you neared his face you got slower, and he knew you were finally getting sleepy. His presence really was all you needed, but perhaps that music disc helped too. You were placing chaste kisses to his cheeks with sleepy giggles by now, nestling into the crook of his neck after you were satisfied with the amount of kisses you gave him.

"Thank you for coming to me. I love you, Billy." You murmured.

"Of course, my love! I'll go anywhere for you. If you need me, I'll be there." He told you, rubbing your bath soothingly.

"My love... I like that name..." You yawned with the cutest sleepy smile. "Can I be your love forever?"

He chuckled, gently pressing his visor to your forehead to give you a gentle and affectionate shock. "You'll be my love 'till the day I rust over." He then told you, watching as sleep finally took you over, a soft hum slipping past your lips.

He took a moment to admire you, watching as your breaths got slower, the rise and fall of your chest against his indicating you would no longer be easy to wake. Suddenly he gained appreciation for your choice of using a folded up blanket instead, loving the closeness. his own hold on you tightening just a little.

"You really are restless without me." He hummed. "... I might have to spend more nights here with you. I don't think you'll mind."

You nuzzled his neck as if to respond, and his entire metallic form tingled, feeling like he was nothing but mush. The effect you had on him was commanding, but he loved it, and gave in to it, cherishing your softness knowing he would he safe to love you so.

"I love you too, cutie."
