You felt confused when you first opened your eyes. The room was still pitch black and you had to blink a few times to adjust to it. Looking at the clock on the table beside your bed, you noticed it was only a little after four in the morning, telling you there was still plenty of time to sleep still.

You planned to close your eyes and lean back against Olivia and go straight back to sleep. But instead of Olivia's chest, you felt the cold sheet where she usually lays each and every night.

Feeling confused and now a little worried you reached your hand out and felt around for her on the bed. You gnawed at your lower lip, hoping she was somewhere on the bed since you felt too tired to get up and look around for her.

And, to your relief, she was still beside you. Although, she was out like a light. You could tell from the way her chest was steadily rising and falling and the soft snores escaping her lips.

On one hand, you didn't want to wake her and disrupt her peaceful sleep. She deserved a good rest and you know she doesn't get as much as of it as she should, and as she deserves. But, on the other hand, you also knew that you wouldn't be able to fall back asleep if you weren't in her arms.

You never feel quite as warm or as safe as you do when you're in her embrace. When she holds you, even when you're asleep, you know that everything will always be okay. Falling asleep without being in her arms would be much easier said than done.

So, although you were reluctant, you shook her awake. It wasn't long before she was opening her eyes. She regretted it almost instantly when she was only met with darkness.

"Y/N? Did you wake me?"

"Yeah." You whispered in response as you gnawed at your lower lip. You felt a little guilty for having to wake her.

"Are you okay?" She mumbled but her words were cut off slightly by a yawn falling from her lips.

"Not really. Sorry that I woke you but I need you to cuddle me again. You let go, somehow rolled around in your sleep. I can't fall back asleep without you holding onto me."

Even though she was tired, she couldn't deny that what you said was incredibly cute.

"Okay. Scoot over." She said and when she heard you scoot back to where you always lay, she did the same. She curled up behind you and put her arm around your stomach to make you feel safe. You felt her kiss the back of your neck before she breathed out softly against your skin. Her warm breath tickled your neck, but you weren't complaining.

"Better?" She mumbled as she began to drift back off to sleep.

"Better. Goodnight, Olivia."

"Goodnight. Sleep tight, Y/N."
