Can't Sleep?- Christian Coma

After laying in bed for a few hours, looking at my boyfriend's sleeping face, I decide to just get up.

I try to pry myself from his long arms, which are wrapped around me tightly. He mumbles something in his sleep, holding me tighter, pulling me closer to his chest.

Smiling slightly, I kiss his cheek before attempting to get up again, trying to get out of his arms. He begins to stir in his sleep, so I stay still for a moment. I don't want to wake him up.

His eyes slowly open, looking at the clock quickly then down at me. "Why are you awake at 3am, baby?" He asks, kissing my forehead softly.

"I couldn't sleep. I was about to get up, but I accidentally woke you up. I'm sorry, sweetie." I say, looking up at him.

He shakes his head. "It's okay." He says sleepily, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. "Come on, let's go downstairs."

"Baby, you don't need to come down with me. You go back to sleep." I get out from under the covers now he's let me out of his arms. "I'll be okay by myself. I'll just watch a film or something and hopefully fall asleep."

He shakes his head and gets up as well. "If you think I'm just gonna leave my princess alone when she's having trouble getting to sleep, you don't know me very well." He says, then smiling as if he just got an idea. "Grab our pillows and go downstairs. I've got some things to sort out. Put on an episode of some anime or something. I'll be down soon."

I look up at him, slightly confused, but don't ask, going downstairs like he told me to, turning the television on and sitting on the couch, curling up with a blanket as I put on an episode of a show.

After a while, I can hear CC walking up and down the stairs a few times. It sounds like he keeps bringing things downstairs.

Like he said, after about ten minutes, he walks into the lounge, his arms piled high with blankets and pillows. I laugh softly, wondering what he's doing as he deposits them down on the couch next to me.

"Just a few more things. Then I'll explain, I promise." He smiles before rushing back, bringing a few more items into the lounge from upstairs.

"We," He smiles proudly, "are going to make a fort." He says, making me giggle, looking up at him.

I smile, looking up at him as I get up. "I think that's an amazing idea." I say and hug him tightly before we start setting up our fort out of blankets and other items to keep them up. Once it's complete, filled with our other blankets and pillows, we flip up one of the sides.

"Go into the kitchen and get us some drinks and snacks. I have one more surprise for you. I'll need a little while to set up, so don't come back in until I tell you to." He smiles excitedly.

I kiss him before walking into the kitchen, wondering how I got so lucky to have such an amazing and sweet boyfriend.

I get out two thermal flasks, filling one with coffee and one with hot chocolate so we have options of what we want to drink. We can share, we won't mind. I also fill one with water. Although I'm not sure why we have so damn many flasks.

I grab cookies, crisps (or potato chips to all you guys that aren't British) and chocolate. I put everything together on the kitchen counter, sitting and waiting for CC to call me through.

When he finally does, I pick up everything I prepared and walk back into the lounge.

"Come take a look inside the fort." CC smiles excitedly, taking the snacks and drinks from me so I can crawl inside. Once I'm inside, he turns on the fairy lights that he's managed to attach to the fort. 

I smile bright when he turns them on, looking around. "It's so beautiful!" I say as he crawls in next to me and tucks the snacks away carefully so we won't crush them or knock them over.

We spend the rest of the night cuddled up, watching tv, eating and drinking, and eventually I end up getting a little bit of sleep, waking up the next morning in our pretty little fort.
