My eyes open to the dead silence of the night, wondering what woke me up. Everything in my room is dark, no scary shadows or nightmarish monsters are around. I tug my blanket up to my shoulder, resting my head on the pillow before there's a knock. It's a gentle one, but it's loud enough to bring me out of my snooze.
For a moment my body tenses up, but I remember who my nightly visitor is.
Sweet Pea.
I saw his figure crouching in front of my window, where he climbed onto the lower roof to reach. His smile lights up when I push the window panes aside, letting him climb into the room. His steps are usually loud stomps, but they're quiet now.
"Sweets," I mumble quietly, "what are you doing here?"
"I couldn't sleep," he starts as I go to my door, locking it with a click.
"And you were on my mind," I can hear his dirty smirk.
He's already on my bed when I turn around. His legs are sprawled comfortably across my sheets and his back rests against the headboard. I sit next to him, leaning my head against his chest as he wraps one arm around me. His hand loosely runs along my leg.
"What do you what me to do," I ask, looking up at him.
He shrugs and looks into my eyes, "a lot of things, but the question you should be wondering is what I want to do to you."
We kiss, our lips moving in sync. He tastes the same, but with a hint of whiskey and cigarettes. His lips are rough and he's aggressive. His hands grab every part of my body as he gets on top of me. His kisses trail from my lips to my jaw, then down to my neck. He grabs my legs and hikes them up to his waist, where the space between us closes. I can feel him against me as he continues to enlighten me.
"Y/N," he moans as he pushes himself against me.
Sweet Pea stops as his fingers hook around the band of my pyjamas.
"Are you into this?" He simply asks and I stop to think. I bite my lip and close my eyes.
He slides off of me, his body gently lands next to mine. I open my eyes as his arm drapes across my body with the other under my neck.
"What are you doing?" I whisper as he pulls me closer. His nose nuzzling into my cheek.
"You had to stop and think," he mumbles, "I'm gonna take that as a 'no'."
I smile and turn my head to press the tip of my nose against his. I give him a quick peck on the lips and he smiles in return.
"I'm sorry, Sweet Pea. I'm just really tired."
"Don't apologize, Y/N," he takes a deep breath in. On his exhale, he sinks into a comfortable position, "there's a lot of things I want to do to you. Fucking is one, but also cuddling and falling asleep together is another."
I shift myself into a more comfortable spot around his embrace. Sweet Pea gets a little annoyed if I move too much.
"Thank you," I kiss him again. His eyes are close, but he puckers his lips when he feels mine.
We both go quiet for a minute or two, enjoying the silence of the night together. In his arms, I feel protected from every shadow or nightmarish monster lurking around. His scent helps me draw closer to sleep, knowing I'm safe with him. As I start to doze away, I swear I hear him mumble under his breath those 3 words.
