You clinge to her in your sleep

• The room was dim, lit only by the faint glow of the street lamps outside filtering through the cracked blinds.

• Sevika lay on her back, her arm draped lazily across the pillow, her chest rising and falling steadily as she drifted on the edge of sleep.

• A quiet rustling broke the stillness. Without opening her eyes, she felt you shift closer, your warmth pressing against her side.

• She cracked one eye open, glancing down to see your face nestled into her shoulder, your arm flung across her waist, clutching at the fabric of her shirt.

• Her lips twitched into a small, rare smile as she watched you burrow further against her, your leg tangling with hers in a sleepy attempt to get closer.

• “Clingy little thing,” she muttered softly, her voice low and fond, though you didn’t stir to hear it.

• Gently, she adjusted, her arm slipping around your back to hold you against her, fingers tracing idle patterns along your spine.

• Your breath hitched slightly, as if reacting to her touch even in sleep, and you sighed, nuzzling deeper into her neck.

• She chuckled under her breath, the sound rumbling in her chest. “You really don’t give me a choice, do you, doll?”

• For all her tough exterior, she savored the way you clung to her, the vulnerability in the gesture disarming her in a way nothing else could.

• She pressed a soft kiss to your hair, her lips lingering there for a moment before resting her chin atop your head.

• The scent of your shampoo, faint and familiar, filled her senses, grounding her in the quiet moment.

• Her metal arm rested on the bed beside you, immobile but close, her human hand pulling the blanket over both of you to keep the warmth trapped.

• As you shifted slightly in your sleep, murmuring something unintelligible, Sevika smirked, brushing her thumb over your shoulder.

• “Guess I’m not going anywhere, huh?” she whispered, knowing full well you’d latch tighter if she so much as moved an inch.

• The night passed like that, your steady breathing a lullaby to her own rest as she held you close, her heart soft in a way she’d never let anyone else see.
