Pisces and Scorpio

Can't sleep

Pisces (f) x Scorpio (m)

It was two thirty in the morning, darkness looming as far as the eye could see. A small brunette girl was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. She had a severe cold, and her head was hurting. Pisces lay on her back, and pressed her fingers against her head, hoping it would numb the pain.

Next to her, Scorpio was laying on his stomach, snoring and sleeping soundly as if he didn't have a thing to worry about.

Pisces looked at him, the moonlight made the corners of his face glow. Not wanting to wake him up, she got out of bed to get some medicine for herself.

When she came back and tucked herself in again, she knew that sleep was not hers today.

She was just staring into the darkness, when she felt Scorpio move next to her. He slowly opened his eyes and whispered, "Can't sleep?"

"Yeah sweetie"

"Come here", he held his arms out, gesturing her to come close. She cuddled into to him, her face next to his chest. Scorpio bent down and kissed her nose softly. She relaxed, and all the pain suddenly seemed to vanish.

Pisces brought her mouth next to Scorpio's and kissed him softly on the lips. He pulled away,
"I have bad breath", he said.

"I don't care"

"Do you want me to read you a bedtime story?", Scorpio asked her.

" What am I? Five?", she said, giggling. " I want you to sing something for me. A lullaby."

" You're too old for a bedtime story, but not for a lullaby. Nice logic Pi", Scorpio smirked.

" Please? For me?", Pisces looked at him with puppy dog eyes.

" Okay, okay."

He cleared his throat, and started

Deep in the meadow

Under the willow

A bed of grass, a soft green pillow

Lay down your head and close your sleepy eyes.

And when again they open, the sun will rise.

Here it's safe

Here its warm

Here the daisies guard you from every harm

Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow makes them true

Here is the place where I love you.

Scorpio ran his hands through her short hair and planted a kiss on her forehead. Pisces's breathing slowed down, a smile forming on her face. She fell into the depths of sleep.

The lullaby is not mine. It's taken from the book- The Hunger Games. (Totally awesome book, btw)
