Restless

    The air hung heavy, a overwhelming feeling of dread overcoming the boys body as he laid in bed restlessly. He was rather tired yes but every time he had closed his eyes, horrific visions would fill in the place of the comforting darkness. Not to mention when he opened them he couldn't help but feel like everything around him was falling apart despite the setting being what most would call a serene night. He swallowed the tension that had gathered into his throat as he turned to try and cuddle up into the rather fluffy companion he had laying beside him, hoping that the physical contact could drown out the terrible feeling spiraling through his head. The soft white fur brushing up against his face provided him the slightest sliver of peace but not enough to pull him from his fears. He let out a shaken yet heavy sigh, pressing his whole face into Moomintroll's side. Perhaps if he suffocated himself he could have some sort of chance at a peaceful night of sleep.

"Has something got you troubled Y/N?" Moomin asked, his light comforting voice caused Y/N to tilt his head up, interrupting his plan to force himself into slumber. He let out a short lived, quiet groan before replying.

"I don't know- I just- It feels like somethings wrong. Like something terrible is going to happen." He grumbled, fully detaching his face from the thick, soft fur on Moomin's side to look into those baby blue eyes he adored so much. Well, usually. The darkness of the room had muted the color a bit but that hadn't changed his affection.

"I'm not exactly sure what that feels like but- is there anything heralding this feeling, perhaps?" Moomin asked, causing the boy to ponder for a moment.

"No not exactly, it's one of those things that just happen y'know? It's not warranted by anything it just- it exists" Y/N wasn't quite sure how to explain his emotions and, in all honesty, he felt rather silly to not have a proper reason to feel the way he does. He always demanded logic behind his own emotions so when he couldn't even conjure a reason behind them, he just felt stupid.

"There's nothing wrong with that- here-" Moomin briskly, yet with a careful undertone, used both his hands to pull the smaller male fully onto his chest, keeping both arms steadily positioned under Y/N's arms and around his back. "You've said before how this can make you feel safe so, maybe this can calm your nerves for the night." He whispered, pressing his snout against the top of the boys head in a way of giving him a soft kiss. Y/N could feel his heart beat begin to slow into one that was much more calm and collected. He was beginning to grow sick of the hammering against his chest. Moomin's body was soft and squishy, providing just the right amount of warmth and comfort that could quell all of his anxiety's and feelings of dread. He could feel all his tension leave him as he melted into Moomin's warm embrace. God he had been needing this, he could only take so much stress.

"Yeah this- this helps a lot.. thank you Moomintroll" he mumbled sleepily. At last, he could finally close his eyes and face that comforting darkness and the lovely feeling of drifting into that amazing state he called sleep. The last of Moomin's words were fuzzy and muted as he fell into the rest he so desired, awaiting to feel his lovers gentle embrace again once he awoke.
