Day Thirteen

He didn't sleep at all.

You, though, slept like a baby as you cuddled up to Elizabeth the third on Jumin's bed, wearing one of his striped shirts. It's only been a few hours since you said goodbye to Jumin, and you miss him already, so, of course, putting on his shirt made the separation less painful.

Seven didn't sleep at all. All night he was watching the cameras in your apartment, but you weren't there. You never came back home, and he started to worry. Nothing happened on your way back, did it?

Multiple scenarios start running through his head as for why you aren't home. Did you go with Jumin? Are you at a friend or relative's house? Are you hurt? Was there an accident?

"Luciel, it's four in the morning. I was sleeping. Is it important?"

Your voice instantly calms his overthinking mind. "Y-yeah. Don't worry. I butt-dialed you."

"Luciel, your phone doesn't have buttons. It's touch screen."

"I-I mean, I accidentally hit your name! Sorry for disturbing your sleep!"

"It's okay. I was having trouble anyways," you lie, not wanting him to feel bad, but Seven notices your change in tone. You sounded almost sad.

"How are you feeling?"

"Hmm? How I'm feeling? Haha, you're God Seven, not a doctor," you tease, and he lets out a light chuckle.

"Ah! Maybe not a professional doctor. That is correct, but I am 707, Defender of Justice! Here to help and save the day! Now, what is making the damsel in distress so...distressed?"

You're silent for a moment, and Seven waits for you to say something. "[Y/n]?"

"Oh, sorry," you apologize, and you seemed somewhat distant, like your thoughts are far away. "I'm not distressed! I'm okay, Seven. Really."

"Are you tired?"

"Of course, I am," you say, and force out a laugh, not wanting Seven to feel bad for interrupting your sleep. "I don't know if I can go back to sleep right now, though."

"Well, I'm staying awake for wor- super secret spy stuff, so I guess I can keep you company....if you want."

"Haha, yeah. That would be nice."

More silence. For the first time in his life, he has no idea how to break it.

He wanted to break it for your sake because, honestly, he is 100% satisfied just hearing your breathing, but he knows that you don't think that way towards him. This silence that is comfortable for him may be awkward for you.

But it wasn't, and he didn't know that.

"So, the weather..."

"Luciel?"

"Yeah?"

You were originally going to tell him to "shh," but decide against it and settle for a different response. "Can you tell me a story? I'm getting kinda sleepy, but sleep seems impossible without...help."

"Ah, a story?"

"I-if you want! Like, Jumin would sometimes read this one story book to me, so... could you tell me one until I fall asleep?"
