Todd x Viola

//Here comes literally everyone's OTP uwu\\

Viola

I gently knocked on the door that lead to Todd's room. It was late at night, probably around eleven or so, it was hard to tell the exact time, as sleepiness filled my mind. So, I didn't expect for him to be awake. But when I woke up from my most recent nightmare, covered in sweat, I heard his Noise drifting down the hall, and into the crack of my bedroom door. While it was some what comforting, I couldn't go back to sleep.

"Todd?" I whispered into the crack of his door, though, I didn't have to whisper, it was just us in the house. Ben went out last night to go on a hunting trip.

Viola? I heard, followed by the creaking of his bed.

I took a step back, the door swinging open with a quiet creak, and his face right there.

"What's up?" Todd whispered, looking over my shoulder and down the hall, his Noise a low buzz, full of questions.

"I couldn't sleep," I said, looking at the bridge of his noise, covered in light brown freckles.

He looks at me for a moment, studying my face.
"You had a nightmare," he stated, because even though I don't have any Noise-

He can still read me.

"Can I come in?"

Todd nodded, stepping to the side to let me into his bedroom. Once he closed the door again, I ask, "Why are you not asleep?"

He gestures over to his bedside table, the light from the lighted candled dimly reflecting off the pages of his ma's book.

"I was trying to do it myself..."

Todd was getting reading lessons from Mister Smith, one of the new settlers that came from the convoy.

I nodded, going over to his bed, and sat on the edge.

He came over and sat next to me, and I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"What was it about this time?" asked Todd, his Noise quiet with tiredness.

I licked my lips, as I recalled my dream. "Simone."

Todd just nodded, the only sound in the room the low buzz of his Noise,

I soon felt him slip his hand into mines, and I gripped it, as he gave it a gentle squeeze.

"You should get some sleep."

I nodded, watching him get up and go into his closet for a moment, while I lied down on the bed.

He came back over with a blanket in one hand, a pillow in the other.

Todd

I spread the blanket out over her, making sure she was covered; I didn't want her getting cold.

I went over to the table and blew the light of the candle out, making the room dark, then went over to the door, gripping my pillow, but just as I grabbed the knob-

"Todd."

I turned round to look at her, the two moon's light shining through my window and reflecting off of her face, her expression showing clear that she didn't want me to leave.

"Right." I said, letting go of the door knob, and climbing into my bed next to her.

So we laid there, our noses almost touching, and I thanked God that it was dark, because I felt my face heat up, as I tried to keep my Noise quiet.

Viola moved closer to me, the bed not being fit for the two of us, and I wrapped my arms round her, pulling her close, cuz I'll keep her safe; I'll let her know that she's safe.

She leaned forward, and she pressed her lips against mines, kissing me.

And I kissed her back.

After a moment, she pulled away, and snuggled herself into me, like a little puppy.

"Good night..." I heard her whisper.

I pulled the blanket more securely over us, then closed my eyes, listening to her soft breathing, and whispered back, "G'Night,"

Viola

I love you I heard, just as I closed my eyes.

//Until next time, my baby pigeons-\\
