(Y/n) opened her eyes, then squinted. Sunlight was shining directly onto her face. It seemed early, from what she could tell. She reacted as most would, pulling the blanket up over her head, and flipping over to the other side. What she wasn't expecting though was Sean to be on that 'other side', or for him to make himself at home. He somewhat woke up from her turn around, stretched out an arm and wrapped it around her torso, keeping her close.

She felt comfortable and safe. That tranquility lasted less then thirty seconds before realizing her position.

She was in his arms.

Jacksepticeye's arms.

Sean's arms.

Her eyes shot open with the sudden realization. They moved up to see he was asleep once more. She knew he didn't fall asleep in this position, and wondered when it could have happened.

"For the love of god (Y/n), Signe's things are still here and you're going to do THIS with him?!" She scolded herself amidst her thoughts.

But on the other side of the coin, it felt wonderful. There was no denying the feeling. Before she listened to her heart, her mind pushed her in the respectable direction.

"Sean.." (Y/n) dragged out.

He didn't move, or react.

"Sean."

"Hmmm?" Sean tilted his head up, rubbing his eyes with his free-er hand.

"What, uh— what are you doing?"

"What do ye mean?" He mumbled making himself comfortable yet again.

It was becoming harder for her to move him away. "You're here."

"Mhmm."

"And I'm here."

"Yup."

"...Are we— painting two different pictures here?"

Sean took a deep breath. "I don't see what yer— wait." His eyes popped open to her directly in his view.

"Yeah, hi." She spoke plainly.

He sat up abruptly feeling awful about this situation. "Oh my— (Y/n) I didn't— Fookin'— I just—"

"Sean, you're fine."

"I don't really have an excuse, I just— I didn't fall asleep like this. I promise."

"Don't worry. I believe you. No harm done." She smiled.

"I'm just going to— I'm going to shower. Ye can go back to sleep or get a bite in the kitchen—" He felt completely awkward situation and didn't know how to handle it.

"Alright, I'll be here."

He left the room, racing up the stairs. His heart pounding with anxiety. Although she said everything was alright he didn't feel as though it was. A shower is what he needed to clear his mind. This seemed to be the longest time Anti hadn't infiltrated his thoughts, and now more then ever he wish he would. Having someone bother him was better than dealing with these thoughts alone.

(Y/n) desperately wanted to talk to Anti. She needed to know what had happened last night that caused him to act out in such a manner.

Sean was curious himself.

"Why'd ye do it?" He spoke as he lathered his green hair. His voice plain, yet curious.

"Why'd I do what?" Anti answered back to his surprise.

"Ye know what ye did. Ye attacked the lass, why?"

Anti hesitated. "I lost a bit of control, that's all."
