To the Stars and Back [Sanders Sides Analogical AU]

Trouble Sleeping

Logan laid in bed with his head on his pillow and hands folded neatly on his chest. He was staring at the ceiling (covered in glow in the dark star stickies) with frustration bubbling inside him. Virgil was sleeping soundly next to him, and although that should be a good thing, it was the source of Logan's frustration. See, to help Virgil sleep better at night and to support the baby they got him a pillow to put under his stomach. And while it does help Virgil sleep much better it makes Logan frustrated because it prohibits Virgil from sleeping closer to him.

Logan never realized how much he loved Virgil cuddling up to him at night (and stealing his covers) until he couldn't do it anymore. He missed his husband curled up next to him and resting his head on Logan's chest to steal the warmth. Sighing Logan casted a longing glance at Virgil, seeing him sound asleep and making tiny (and undeniably adorable) (kitten) snores every time he exhaled. He sighed again, rubbing his eyes with the palm of his hand as he boiling in his frustration. To add to that, not only was Logan frustrated, but also slightly embarrassed because he was jealous a pillow was getting more affection than him. It's really shouldn't matter, as long as Virgil was happy and getting the required amount of sleep so he wouldn't suffer through a seizure then Logan should be happy.

"Alright, what's wrong?" Logan flinched slightly at the sound of someone's voice.

He looked over to see Virgil looking over at him with tired, half closed eyes.

"Virgil? I thought you were asleep," Logan said, a (figurative) pit of guilt pooling in his stomach at the thought that he was the one who disturbed his husband's rest.

"I can feel your frustration. What's wrong?" Virgil mumbled, opening his eyes even more to look at Logan.

"It-it's silly, just go back to sleep, love," Logan said, not wanting to meet Virgil's eyes.

"Logan you know I won't be able to go back to sleep until I know what's wrong. It better to just get it out," said Virgil though he paused halfway to yawn.

"Alright. If it'll help you get back to sleep then fine," sighed Logan, "I just- I miss having you sleep next to me. It's foolish because the pillow is helping you sleep and that should be a good thing, but I can't help but feel like I'm missing something. I miss you more than I ever imagined."

Virgil listened and slowly took this information in, probably still tired and his brain had not yet caught up with him. After a few seconds of thought Virgil scooted over to Logan, wrapping an arm around his side and pulling him closer. Logan moved with his husband and Virgil then rested his head on Logan's chest. Virgil placed his right hand on Logan's stomach and slowly started falling back asleep on Logan.

The astronomer smiled down at Virgil, combing his fingers through the fluffy (and soft) black hair and admiring his beauty. He only stopped when Virgil wirily mumbled something and pushed a hand against Logan's cheek.

"Stop staring at me and go to sleep," Virgil grumbled, lowering his hand and nuzzling closer to Logan's neck.

Logan chuckled and wrapped his arms around Virgil's shoulders, quickly falling asleep with the comfortable weight of Virgil sleeping on his chest lulling him to peace.
