Authors note:
Just a quick little note, I deal with a form of Insomnia that has affected other people in different degrees. On those long nights, I sometimes wish that I had someone to help me fall asleep, to make me feel safe and comforted. I want to do this concept with the 12th Doctor as well, so of course I will. There will be fluff, and some angst; despite people romanticizing Insomnia we should all recognize it is not fun, it is very mentally draining, and shouldn't be a thing people hope for themselves. I say this because it happens. Also please excuse my long absence, I just started a new job, and my first week was 37 hours, I needed a few days to adjust so I could put out content that I liked. There might be some long time frames in-between stories I put out, but there will always be one in the works. So be patient. Thank you so much, I hope you enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is exhausting, truly, you are more surprised that you are surprised by this than anything.
"UgHHHHHHhh!" You let out a loud sound of defeat; like you are asking the world to have mercy on you cause like, fuck.
24 hours, not an achievement you are proud of. You are used to it, it happens, quite often; you get frustrated with trying to and failing to fall asleep, so you say, " Fuck it!" Often out loud, and you pull an all-nighter. It usually results in the following day feeling like a wet paper bag, unpleasant.
Where the fuck?
"Doctor?!"
You are wandering a hallway in the T.A.R.D.I.S scanning for her awkward occupant. You swear that she is just fucking around with you at this point.
Kicking a wall you whisper, " Piss off." then you slide your back down the opposite wall. Momentarily giving up on your search. After you rest your head on your knees you decide to assess your sleepiness. Restless, like you just finished a solid staring contest, constantly.
"Ah! (Y/N)! Lovely, I was just about to come get you, we have a new place to go, a new adventure! Uh, Why are you sitting on the floor?" He questioned after noticing where you were and how you were positioned.
Gathering all your energy, you tried to sound, somewhere close to 4 hours of sleep. saying, " Where to next?" When it came out with a less than lack-luster energy you saw the glint in The Doctor's eye change.
He kneels in front of you with his hands resting on your shoulders, " You are hiding something from me."
" You are hiding a lot of things from me, what does it matter if I hide one thing." You retort
Without a change in expression, he hoists you to your feet, and drags you behind him.
" Silly human. I am very old, and I've been around many other humans, you would be stupid to think I don't know a sleepy human when I see one."
" Ok, I get it, I am human you don't need to state that constantly," You grunt, scrunching your features.
Without looking back at you he murmurs, " You seem to forget that fact a lot."
A moment of silence passes, as you start to zone out, being dragged along the corridors of the labyrinth of a Space/time machine. Only snapping out of your sleep-deprived trance when you are suddenly in front of your quarters on the T.A.R.D.I.S.
" Woah, h-hold on. Didn't you say there was a place we needed to go?"
He turns back to you with a look that can only be described as sarcastic, " We are living on a Space/time machine.."
You chuckle sheepishly, not used to this side of the mysterious man, " Oh, right. Heh. Slipped my mind."
" It slipped your mind because you are seriously sleep-deprived for a human, now get. In. Bed." his face stern while pointing stiffly at your mattress, exposed because of him holding the covers up for you enter.
You know you cant win this fight, and also you are just too tired to resist him, you want to sleep now. You lower into the mattress, suddenly surprised to find he had snuggled himself around you protecting you from the world.
" What is the point of cuddling me?" you hesitantly asked craning your neck to meet his beautiful green, half-lidded eyes. You have to focus on not gasping as he continues to look at you like you are the most wonderous thing he's ever seen in the universe.
" I can't ensure that you are sleeping if I leave, can I?" He says softly.
"No, I guess not," you mumbled, nuzzling into his touch, already dosing off. " You can trust me though," You slur.
" But can I?" You can hear the cute smirk he has as he whispers this in your ear. Softly pressing a kiss on your forehead, "Sleep, You are safe with me, I won't let anything happen to my wonderful (Y/N)."

I would also like to mention during this difficult time that I stand with the BLM movement, I am not black but I see you, I am not black but I hear you. Please donate to the bail funds: https://www.communityjusticeexchange.org/nbfn-directory
https://secure.givelively.org/donate/the-bail-project
Also, you cannot support the Black Lives Matter movement without supporting the LGBTQ+ community. There are plenty of people in the community that are Black and POC. Remember that pride was a riot against police brutality that was started by two Black trans women.
The BLM movement is NOT politics, this is basic human rights.
With sincerity
