Night Troubles

A/N: It's 2 in the morning where I live and my cats are being assholes and I can't fall asleep. But luckily, I had an idea for a fic, so I'm not completely wasting time on trying to go back to bed.

"Taneleer?" I ask, wrapping the blanket around my shoulders tighter.

"What are you doing up Y/N? Is something bothering you?" Taneleer turns around in the chair at his desk, a concerned look plastered on his face.

"No, I'm okay." I reply quietly. "I just couldn't fall asleep."

"Come here, maybe I can be of some assistance." Taneleer answers, opening his arms wide for me to sit in his lap. I take the offer and sit down, my head resting in the crook of his shoulder and his arms wrapped around me.

"I'm terribly sorry about not coming to bed, I have a client who is being stubborn about selling an item to me for my collection and the paperwork was-" He starts as I look up at him.

"It's alright, I know how difficult clients can get at times." I reply.

He smiles warmly and starts to lovingly stroke my arm.

We sit in a comfortable silence, enjoying each other's company.

I furrow my brows, concerned again with the question that's been plaguing my mind for the past few days.

"Why is it Taneleer, that you could have any girl that you wanted in the entire galaxy, and you chose me?" I ask, my eyes watering. "I mean- I'm a Terran. There's nothing special about me at all. Yet here I am, being showered with all the love and affection one could ever want in life, and feeling like I don't deserve any of it."

His breath hitches for a second, and he pulls me tighter to his chest.

"My dear, this is what's been bothering you?" He asks, concern laced in his tone. "I chose you for a reason. Ever since the day you set foot in here, I knew that there was something different about you. Something special that I knew only you possessed. And when you walked over to me and asked how much I'd take for the Bloodgem Ring, I immediately knew that it wasn't the item you were offering me that I desired; it was you."

"You really mean all of that?" I ask, hopeful.

"Every word, my queen." He kisses my forehead and picks me up, bridal style.

He walks back to our room and gently sets me down on his bed.

"I thought you still had things to do-" I start.

"Those can wait." He answers, crawling under the covers next to me. "There's something far more important than a new addition to the collection."

I smile and wrap my arms around his torso. He does the same, and starts rubbing my back soothingly.

"I don't know what I would do without you
Y/N." He says, his voice barely above a whisper.

"I feel the exact same way towards you." I reply, gently kissing his lips.

We pull away a few second later and he kisses my temple.

"Goodnight Y/N. I will be here for you if you desire anything." He whispers.

I kissed him again. "Thank you. But all I need right now is you."
