scoot over
A/N: because i'm tired of waiting for a laurinah fluff.
it was 2 am. it was 2 am in the morning and they had to wake up 5 but lauren was still awake. she had no idea why this could happen, considering she was pretty beat after their show and had been lying on the bed since 12 like the other girls. this was not unusual though; there were times when she just couldn't sleep even if she had been tossing and turning for what seems like forever. the fact that this night was really cold didn't help either.
if this happened when she was at home, she usually woke taylor up and cuddled with her until she fell asleep. but she was in her bunk now and she didn't even have any stuffed animals to cuddle with. well, she had nala, but right now nala was with dinah. somehow they had been taking turns to "take care" of her, and this week was dinah's week. funny how they didn't even question how that sounded like they were divorced parents. and it wasn't like lauren had to sleep with stuffed animals either!!!! she definitely did not cry when they went to that amusement park; she could sleep without any! she was just having one of those nights and it was just fucking freezing.
she decided to take a walk to the kitchen and drink some water. just laying there without getting enough sleep makes her thirsty. maybe she would get some heat too by walking.
***
while taking big gulps of water in the kitchen, lauren heard some steps walking towards her. she immediately panicked. then the door was opened and standing there was dinah, looking as alert as lauren was.
"oh thank God it's actually you. i heard footsteps and checked all of you guys' curtains. only yours was open. i was still unsure tho, maybe we got some baddies to fight," said dinah after releasing her held breath. lauren did the same and chuckled.
"relax, di. i was just having trouble sleeping and decided to have some walk and drink. maybe this will calm me. by the way, how on earth did you get woken up by footsteps? i couldn't even get you to wake up by punching your arms," asked lauren curiously.
"uhh once there was a thief caught in action in my house. there were screamings so everyone in the house woke up. in the end we dealt with him and nothing was stolen. until now i am a lot more alert at nights," dinah shrugged.
"are you serious? that's.. wow. that's fucking scary. i'm glad you guys are okay," said lauren shocked.
"yeah, it's fine, really. i've forgotten most of that terrifying experience anyway. so, are you gonna get back to sleep? we have to be up in 3 hours," dinah unconsciously yawned.
"you mean 'try' to sleep?" lauren chuckled humorlessly.
"wait, you haven't slept at all?" asked dinah. lauren nodded.
"well, damn, lo. this rarely happens, right? i remember you telling me about it," she continued.
lauren thought it was really sweet of dinah to remember something she told long ago and probably only once. heck, she didn't even remember when.
"yeah.. usually i just-" lauren started.
"-wake taylor up and cuddle with her," said dinah finishing lauren's sentence. lauren was actually quite impressed (and flattered) by dinah's memory. she really didn't think dinah would remember the details too. then dinah's shocked face told lauren that she just realized something.
"oh my God!! you didn't have anyone to cuddle with and i took nala too!!!! i'm so sorry ughh let's go back to our bunks and take her okay?" dinah was really concerned. lauren smiled so big at this and they both went to where nala was 'sleeping' in dinah's bunk.
***
lauren still couldn't sleep.
it was still so cold.
and even this stuffed-animal nala was freezing now.
lauren let out a big huff and quickly turned her head when she heard a movement from the bunk above hers.
"lo, you still can't sleep?" she heard dinah whispering.
"i...yeah. turns out nala isn't really helping," she replied quietly, not wanting to wake her other bandmates. "why are you still awake, di? i thought you've gone to sleep already."
"yeah, well, i wanted to make sure you've gone to sleep before i fall asleep again," said dinah. lauren couldn't help but thought once again how sweet dinah was.
"dinah, honestly... thank you. it's okay, i'm sure later when it's warmer i'll be asleep without realizing it."
lauren heard some shufflings and suddenly dinah's feet were beside her, signaling that she had come out of her bunk. dinah crouched down until her face was seen by lauren's sleepy-but-can't-fall-sleep eyes, and she could see how miserable lauren was. everyone knows it sucks to not be able to sleep when you're tired and have to be awake early.
"scoot over," ordered dinah to lauren.
"what?" lauren wasn't sure where dinah was going with that. did she realize that two people wouldn't fit in these bunks?
"scoot over. you're in need of body heat and sleep, so i'm about to give you the best cuddles you will ever get," dinah smirked. lauren's heart melted hearing those words.
lauren gave some space for dinah to get inside her bunk, but it really was a small bunk that they ended up pressed into each other. good, though, cause she reallyneeded the heat. dinah had no trouble pulling lauren to be practically on top of her and put her hands on lauren's waist. she also made sure lauren still held nala tightly.
lauren had honestly never been more comofrtable. tiring yourself out while trying to sleep is basically the worst thing. before dinah came to the kitchen she could actually feel herself getting desperate and even considered trying to cry her eyes out to sleep. now she was snuggled up to nala and dinah, feeling warmer and cozier than ever.
however, lauren was still very tense from having lack of sleep. dinah seemed to notice this and started rubbing her hand up and down lauren's back. she could see lauren visibly relaxed; how her face snuzzled further into dinah's neck and how she sighed so contently she practically purred.
dinah couldn't help but think how cute lauren was at the moment, and ended up kissing lauren's nose. the grin lauren gave her was enough to make dinah start kissing her cheeks, and then forehead, and then nose again. lauren giggled while she was getting those kisses and in return gave kisses to dinah's face. it didn't happen for a long time because lauren's kisses slowed down, signaling how half-asleep she was.
"go to sleep, lolo," dinah commanded.
"hmm.. but... but keep kissing me?" lauren's eyes were already half-closed. dinah chuckled.
"of course, lo," dinah didn't miss the way lauren smiled while closing her eyes, pulling both nala and her even closer.
"thanks, babe," lauren's whisper was almost nonvocal.
dinah continued leaving soft kisses on her face until they were both lost in the dreamland.

camila was the first for glam, so she woke up earlier than the other girls. however, when she saw dinah's empty bunk, her eyes wandered down to lauren's and saw how tangled the two girls were. they barely fit in there, camila thought, even the curtain is open because it might actually suffocate them if it wasn't.
camila didn't know what happened last night that made her bandmates slept like sardines in a small bunk, but she saw nala in the middle of them and her heart swelled. also, she knew exactly what to do with this sandwich and the recently rising cutest ship in the fandom.
