At my beloved friend lavenderandkpop's recommendation, I started doing yoga about a month or so ago after I jacked up my back real bad lifting wrong. More lore-building events have occurred since then, including myself being unlucky enough to get a stomach ulcer, so I took time to recooperate until just a few days ago when I thought I better get back to it to ease anxiety. Stomach ulcer made my period completely disappear to the point I'd accepted I'd likely skip but after doing some yoga for a few days now, some of it unintentionally targeting the pelvis, I think my luck is about to change (sparing graphic details, you're welcome.) And I'm amazed but also kinda shocked? Yoga is badass!

hey, hi, I was just on the former bird app and came across this info from a brand new study and now I cannot stop screaming internally??? what the actual fuckkkk

theres' an article from the guardian here and here is the actual study:

[chrollogy]

hello yue🌸 how do you feel a recently kidnapped darling would handle an upcoming period with Chrollo? and how would he react? I feel like he’s the type to make her give him affection in return for some pads or tampons, or would he ac have mercy and give his darling her stuff, along with his hands to make the cramps go away?

hi hi nonnie !! i finally got to your wonderful ask >< thank you for this !!

Chrollo’s darling would most likely try to hide it at first thinking they’d be fine without any help from Chrollo but it gets to a point where they would definitely need sanitary products so I feel like they would hesitantly talk to him—all timid and shy—and tell Chrollo about their period. Without a doubt, he sees this an opportunity for him to finally tear down the stubborn walls of his darling, so Chrollo would be the type to use this situation in his favour. Strategically, so. He’d make his darling beg and ask for his help because he needs to hear it come out of their mouth loud and clear—a little reassurance wouldn’t hurt, no?

And when the words he’s been waiting to hear finally reaches Chrollo’s ears, a sense of pride blossoms across his chest, and his insides turn to putty because of how adorable his little darling looks begging him like that all flustered and glossy eyed, lips quivering with frustration. But fret not, Chrollo is here to help at last. He’d buy his darling anything they need (or don’t need)—from pads and tampons all the way to the sweet treats they crave during their cycle because that’s how much he loves them. But it doesn’t stop there. During the nights his darling cannot sleep because of cramps, Chrollo would be there to help too.

He’d be the big spoon and wrap his large arms around his darling and massage the parts where it aches—their chest, their abdominal area, their back, Chrollo’s hands are there to ease the sharp pain. He’d kiss his darling’s tears away as it rolls down their cheeks and maybe even whisper sweet praises with how well they’re handling the pain. But if all that doesn’t suffice .. Chrollo has a few naughty tricks up his sleeve to help his darling relax and relieve their pain.

What better way to deal with pesky cramps than period sex? At first, Chrollo would be innocently massaging his darling’s abdominal area but from time to time, his hands start dipping lower and lower until his fingers find their way underneath the waistband of their pants, hovering just above where his darling’s clit would be. It’s a bit thicker due to an extra layer from the pad but that doesn’t stop Chrollo from deftly circling his fingers on their clit.

Soon enough, his darling’s pain-filled whimpers turn into ones brimming with pleasure and pure satisfaction, and it doesn’t take long for Chrollo to place them on his lap—pants and underwear long discarded—and ease them down on his hard cock. One hand secured around his darling’s hips, guiding them up and down while the other gently playing with their swollen tits to help with the pain. Maybe Chrollo would even use his mouth to on their nipples.

Chrollo doesn’t care how filthy the sex is if it means helping them with period pains. And most importantly, if it means getting to finally fuck his beloved darling and put them at his mercy.

Not that Ace isn’t already a menace, but towards an afab darling on their period??? Ace would be the WORST. Like, sure, he brings you all the food you’re craving, and watches whatever movies you wanna watch even if they don’t interest him in the slightest, but he’s also calling you his ketchup packet to piss you off and being even more of a horndog than usual bc yes. menstruation/blood in general is one of his kinks

"you love him. you've loved him since you were 9 and you love him now 20 years later." TW: references to transphobic bullying, angst, fluff, allusions to offscreen smut, alcohol mention, menstruation mention. pairing: kyle x ftm!reader

1.5k words of childhood friends to strangers to friends to lovers. as always i've barely edited it so typos and errors may remain. edit to add: a massive thank you and shout out to @gemmahale for cheerleading me with this one and reminding me to trust my instincts. i love you a lot.

-- you love him. you’ve loved him since he first shared his curly-wurly during break time at primary school. head over heels puppy love. your mum teasing you with a “my little girl with her first boyfriend!” despite the way it makes your cheeks burn (and something twist inside your chest) when you both stand shyly together at 3.15 hand in hand waiting to go home. 

you love kyle when he’s the joseph to your mary in the nativity. you love the way the teatowel your mum leant his mum slips into his eyes and causes him to laugh and forget his next line about needing to find an inn. you love him when he wraps you up in a big hug when missus king takes a photo of you both as your mum cheers the loudest from the back of the little crowd in the assembly hall. 

you love kyle even when you both grow up and go to secondary school at 11, split up into different form groups and different timetables. you love him even more when he folds you into his little band of miscreants, “one of the boys” he says with a cheeky grin that warms you all the way through.

you love kyle when he chooses you first for the biology practical lesson, flicking little slithers of onion at you to make you laugh, despite the way anna-marie looks you up and down and whispers something cruel about how “he just pities the he-she” loud enough for you to hear. 

you love kyle when he skives off school with you the day your period takes you unaware. he sneaks in through the kitchen door 15 minutes after your mum leaves for work, a battered curly-wurly and bottle of oasis clutched in one hand and his rucksack in the other. you love him when he settles onto the sofa, dragging your duvet over the two of you, flicking the telly on so you can both watch bargain hunt together. 

you love kyle the day he cuddles you into his chest, completely uncaring about the way your snot and tears mark his t-shirt as you sob, both of you curled up on your bed. you love him so completely when he listens to you stutter out that you think you’re not really a girl. you still love him when he pulls away for the first time, a tiny frown on his face. you still love him when he doesn’t reply to your text asking him if he got home alright later that night. 

you still love kyle when he starts ignoring you in school, no longer coming to find you during lunchtime. you still love him when he doesn’t laugh along with harry when you trip during design tech but he doesn’t stop james hissing “freak show” as you rub at your hip from where you banged into their table. 

you still love kyle even when your mum sits you down at the kitchen and asks you how you feel about moving schools at 16. you still love kyle when you ask her “but what about kyle?” and her voice catches when she offers you a gentle “oh love” with wet eyes. 

you still love kyle when he stumbles into you at mattie’s house party when you’re both 18, a shocked look on his face when he takes in your close cropped hair and wispy facial hair on your cheeks, despite the fact you haven’t spoken in years. you still love kyle even when he calls you the wrong name and your mumble gets swallowed up by cheers from the kitchen as someone spots kyle in the hallway. you still love kyle when you spot him crowd mattie’s older sister georgia up against the bannister and kiss her breathless before leading her up the stairs with his hand on her waist. you still love kyle when you end up sobbing into alex’s neck, their hand rubbing your back gently as the dew from the front lawn soaks the knees of your jeans. you still love kyle even as alex murmurs that “you should just forget him babe” into your hair as you sob anew.

you’ve forgotten how much you loved kyle the next time you run into him, many years later when you pop into the pub under oath from mattie to meet her for a quick pint to catch up. you recognise the shape of kyle’s smile even if he is partially turned away to grin at a man with broad shoulders and a slightly flattened mohawk standing next to him at the bar. you’ve forgotten how much you loved kyle when he catches you looking and his smile slips momentarily as he offers you a tiny nod of acknowledgement before turning back to his friend. you’ve forgotten how much you loved kyle even when your eyes keep drifting over to him and the other three men in the corner booth as mattie fills you in on everything you missed during your years travelling around australia. 

you’ve forgotten how much you loved kyle when you bump into him again in the same pub the following week. literally bumping into him as you turn away from the bar with a pint in your hand. kyle steadies you with a hand on your forearm and you feel your heart soar before plummeting into the sticky carpet at your feet. you pull your arm away from him and your drink sloshes over the rim of your glass as you offer him a tight smile before stepping to the side. you’ve forgotten how much you loved kyle, but you can’t help but feel the warmth of his hand long after you’ve rejoined mattie and alex at your table. 

you’ve forgotten how much you loved kyle but a thrill goes up your spine when he asks you if he could “have a word with you, mate” as he joins you in the beer garden the week after that. you’ve forgotten how much you loved kyle but your heart aches as he stumbles his way through an apology. you’ve forgotten how much you missed your friend kyle when he makes you stutter out a surprised laugh when he talks about his friend soap knocking some sense into him. 

you’ve forgotten how much you missed your friend kyle when he texts you asking if you want to join him and his sisters for a chinese. you’ve forgotten how much you’ve missed your friend kyle when he hands you his vegetable spring rolls without asking. you’ve forgotten how much you’ve missed your friend kyle when after dinner he leads you up to his childhood bedroom and he kicks his dirty socks under his bed like you’ve seen him do many times before. you’ve forgotten how much you’ve missed your friend kyle when your ribs ache from laughing and he’s wearing that beautiful grin. 

you’ve forgotten how much you’ve missed your friend kyle when he slips into the open seat next to you at the pub, his arm slung over the back of your chair, much to the matching shocked expressions of mattie and alex. you’ve forgotten how much you’ve missed your friend kyle when he takes alex’s frosty demeanour on the chin. you fall in love with your friend kyle again when he responds to mattie’s pointed rhetorical “you know you broke his heart, yeah?” with a small squeeze to your shoulder and serious “i know, i was a fucking idiot.”.

you fall in love with kyle again when his hands shake on your waist as he leans in to kiss you outside your house under the flickering glow of a streetlight. just like you hoped he would so many years ago when you were both teenagers. you fall in love with kyle again when he pulls away to take in your stupefied expression and he asks if you’re okay, if he can kiss you again. you fall in love with kyle again when he gently turns you around so he can push you up against the front door to trail sucking kisses down your neck as your keys hit the doormat with a tinkling sound. you fall in love with kyle again when you ask him to slow down - wait - please - as he’s reaching for the top button of your jeans. you fall in love with kyle again when he traces gentle fingers over the scars on your chest, adoration in his eyes.

you love kyle when you trip over your boxers and his shirt the following morning as you stumble to the bathroom. you love kyle when you slip back into bed and he sleepily nuzzles into your neck. you love kyle when his phone blares his alarm from the back pocket of his trousers near the door to your bedroom 30 minutes later. 

you love him. you’ve loved him since you were 9 and you love him now 20 years later as he presses a kiss to your hair. you love him. -- taglist: @kaadaaan

zadr headcanons! (Part 2.)

part 1 is here.

• Dib wraps his arms around Zim when he cooks. and gives him neck kisses. He probably got Z one of those “kiss the cook” aprons.

• Zim often shows his love for Dib through cooking/baking. Be like.

“I made you muffins!!! :D they’re ur favorite! strawberry! :3”

(Faltered.) “Aw… you didn’t have to do that for me.. o//o”

• Dib has tried to cook for Zim before, but it always ends in disaster. Zim appreciates the thought, tho.

• Dib gets really clingy when hes tired. he will not let Zim go. Same applies to Zim.

• Dib one of the few people to have ever seen Zim with gloves off, and thinks that his little toe beans are cute af (I hc that Irkens have those.) Zim becomes flustered anytime Dib gushes over his cute little toe beans. (He secretly likes it though. But don’t tell anyone that.)

(tw periods.)

• Zim takes care of Dib when he’s got cramps. He may not understand, but he still tries to help. Dib insists that every is fine (it’s not.) and Zim can see right through him. Be like:

“I’m fine! I promise!” (hes not.)

“Dib. Please shut up. You are BLEEDING. let me take care of you.” And then Dib finally gives in.

Zim will rub his back and stomach and stuff. And get him the heat pad. and give them all their favorite sugary foods. and plenty of painkillers. edit: I forgot to mention that Zim will also give dib kisses on his stomach to try and them feel better. Zim also gives him kisses on the forehead too.

Dib also takes care of Zim when he’s sick :) (theyre both gonna get sick at that rate.)

• Despite having a loving bf, they both still relapse sometimes. But they help each other out. (Ex: Zim wash Dib’s hair, Dib will help Zim get out of his slump. bc he knows what’s that’s like.)

• They both are terrified of cockroaches (despite zim being a literal space cockroach.) but Dib will get off his ass and take the damn thing outside or just kill it. And go “ERTEWDEEDWSF 😰” the whole time. And then Zim will disinfect everything like the clean freak he is.

• Zim lends Dib his coats and vice versa . they don’t like seeing the other cold.

• Zim is always like “miiiineee” when it hugs/ cuddles Dib.

• Dib bonks Zim with cardboard tubes.

• They break into each other’s windows and cuddle at night.

• Anytime Zim comes back Dib’s always like “ONG I MISSED U SM!! 0//0 :D” and hugs him like they haven’t seen xem in years. Zim’s like “I was only gone for twenty minutes Dibby…” same applies to Zim. • Sometimes spend time together in the bathroom during lunch. they just cuddle and kiss each other alone. And chat. Zim likes it because it’s nice and quiet, he usually feels overwhelmed.

• Zim steals Professor Membrane’s car despite not being legally old enough to drive on Earth yet. And him and Dib go for late night joy rides. (I mean. Zim can drive a spaceship. it would make sense for it to know how to drive a car.) they somehow don’t get caught by tge cops and they blast deftones and shit. and they go get food late night. usually suck monkeys (zim grew a tolerance to them.)

• Zim enjoys giving gifts to Dib. Dib does the same. • Zim did Dib’s top surgery as an early birthday present a few weeks before Dib turned 13. He poured many hours of research into it. (I mean… Z does dissections and shit. I’m sure he could figure how to do d’s top surgery lol.) Dib was very pleased. :)

• they made each other matching Kandi bracelets and “married.” (just like little kids do.) prof membrane thinks it’s cute. :)

• they have the most chaotic ass DM’s imaginable. 7-7

• Dib helps Zim apply eyeliner. their just like “Hold still mkay.” • Zim has nightmares about Foodcourtia and greasy food. But Dib is there to comfort xem.

• Dib is always like “UM. He asked for NO meat/cheese.” Anytime restaurants get Zim’s order wrong. And demands a refund. • Zim licks Dib to show affection. Dib thinks it very cute (and also weird. but he loves that stupid bug anyway.)

• the old insults they used for each other are now pet names. (ex: spaceboy, dib-worm. Etc.)

• Zim gave Dib their lungs back. (And gave Keef his eyes balls back.)

• Dib sometimes wakes up only to find black kiss marks all over him and hes just like “ziiiimmmm” 😭

• human saliva leaves behind kiss marks on Irken skin.

• Zim always tries to smell/look nice for Dib. Dib only tries if they’re on a fancy date or something.

• Zim is very high maintenance. Dib pretends to find it annoying but he secretly likes it.

• Zim’s lips constantly taste sweet because of all the goddamn sugar he eats. Dib likes it very much (they’d never admit or say that tho.)

• Zim started sleeping after it n dib got together (which was something that was only reserved for Tallests.)

• Zim has small stubby tail that xe usually keeps tucked into xyr clothes. But Dib thinks it’s adorable and tells xem that he doesn’t have to do that around him.

• Zim secretly likes Dib’s kind of stinky scent (hes not gonna admit that tho.) and finds it comforting.

(Even though Dib smells like fuckin onions and stale pizza rolls. With barely any deodorant and really shitty dollar store cologne that just makes him reek even more. Most of time. Sometimes he smells nice.)

✨I’m not doing well✨

[bunnelbaby]

There are many reasons a regressor, dreamer, caregiver or flip may rely on diapers, such as:

✨ Incontinence, or the inability to control one’s bladder or rectum

✨ Menstrual cycles, as diapers are much more comfortable/less dysphoric compared to using pads or tampons

✨ Impaired mobility, which effects one’s fine motor and gross motor skills

✨ During recovery following a surgery, as not to put too much strain on their bodies

✨ Various medical conditions and disabilities where wearing them might be much more convenient

✨ Stress or anxiety

✨ Having a tendency of wetting the bed

✨ Nightmares

✨ Purely for comfort reasons, as they can provide a sense of security for the wearer

✨ To help one slip into their headspace or prevent any accidents when regressing, as they may have bathroom troubles in their regressed state

✨ Regardless of the reason, there’s no shame or harm in wearing diapers so long as you are comfortable above all else.

[luimagines]

Was it u who someone submitted an ask wondering if the boys would know what a period is? Well regardless, what would they think of a period simulator? Who would handle the pain best and worst? 😈😂

I didn't submit it, but I certainly answered it

Twilight and Warrior would definitely know what it is. I bet Wild and Sky do as well. Throw in Legend in there for good measure as well.

Time, Hyrule and Four on the maybe know what it is.

Wind has no clue. Not yet.

No one is gonna let Wind near a period simulator on that same vein.

Legend and Warrior can't even handle it on easy.

Wild, Hyrule and Sky do better but can't get past a medium range.

Twilight handles it the best to be honest.

However Time has the best poker face. He's in agonizing pain but can steel his face to not react to it and he's not gonna tap out and appear weaker than some of the boys of the group. No sirie.

Four refuses to even try after seeing how the other boys react. He's the smart one that doesn't put himself in pain for no reason.

[canongf]

self shippers that wear pads: there is nothing wrong with wearing pads. your f/os don't care, your f/os don't judge you. i know sometimes i get self conscious, i sometimes think people can see the bulk of a pad or people can hear the crinkling of a pad, and even if your f/o can, they don't care. whatever your reason for choosing pads over tampons or cups, you are valid in that and your f/o respects it. periods are hard enough and your f/o wants you to be as comfortable as possible.

[ouaw-facts-i-just-made-up]

Gideon has anemia from not eating properly on the train (an more importantly as a trans man and his period (and becauseI have this too and I want someone to suffer with me)). During his period he bleeds heavily and that leads to him loosing too much iron and thus he over heats but is actually really cold (for him at least) to the touch.

Kremy discovers this while traveling and Gid almost collapses because he doesn't realize what's happening. Kremy almost doesn't either until he realizes that they skipped a hearty breakfast that day and assumed he was just weak from a lack of food, so Kremy made a meal plan prioritizing nutrition, adjusting it along as they need eventually getting something that has tons of iron. Not that either of them notice.

They only learn that the lightheadedness and weird cold-to-touch-but-feels-hot thing was because of Gid's Iron-deficiency once Gideon trusts the rest of the group with knowing he's trans. Frost puts two and two together (this is because I headcanon that the school frost went to had a very comprehensive health course (frost also asks why he didn't realize this sooner because this sort of anemia caused by your period brings incredibly painful cramps. Gideon just says it wasn't any pain he wasn't used to)

This is a true fact.

Me transferring all my period pain to the Krew but then reading this ask and feeling a little bad about it so i give it all to Kremy instead.

I imagine that his fire genasi blood (aka burn through food twice as fast blood) doesn't help in that regard either. Also the pain would be harder to get rid of I'd think cause when you have dysmenorrhea usually you get heating pads but, well, he is made of fire. He can't get much hotter than that.

Kremy definitely learned a lot though about finding foods that seemed to lessen the pain or at least the other symptoms. After getting to talk with gricko and frost he learned about different plants that he could include to help soothe the pain better. And you know, maybe he picks up some chocolates too. Dark chocolate specifically, he heard that it's good for you and also a common craving. Even if he doesn't really understand that, being unable to eat it without feeling sick.

(Also friendly reminder to people who get periods, your pain shouldn't be debilitating! You shouldn't have a major increase in depression or wooziness or anything like that! Defo bring it up with your doctor!!)

[babyboywinchester]

Dean would fuck Sam on his period after reading that it helps with cramps, headaches, body aches and reads how some people have even gotten pregnant thinking it was safe to have sex on their period.

You know did don’t give a fuck either. The first time Sam sadly tells him, “we can’t because I’m on my period. :((“ and Dean’s like “fucking and?” As he’s laying down a towel. “It’s just blood. I get blood on me all the time. Fuck it.” And Sam finding something else to be in awe of. His brother still finds him sexy, fuckable, even when he’s bleeding and feels like a crampy mess.

Me rn projecting onto Sirius:

[legendofmorons]

Hey sorry if this is kinda specific and weird but could you do one where the reader gets their time of the month and Twilight takes care of them. (I get it this makes you uncomfortable I got my time of the month and it has hit me like a truck and I just want some tooth rotting fluff rn no pressure tho). Sorry if this is weird. Love your stuff have a lovely day 🩷

Personal hero (Twilight)

Of course I can honey! I'm sorry that you feel gross.

This doesn't make me uncomfortable, though. I'm familiar with the problem. I hope this helps and that you feel better.

Pairing: Twilight and AFAB! Reader (can be romantic or platonic, but either way, he loves you a lot)

Rating: G

Summary: When your period hits- you're left feeling it like a semi-truck. Thankfully, Twilight is right there to help you.

Warnings: AFAB! Reader, menstruation/ period, blood, a little angst maybe??

Other: If I missed anything, please let me know.

About the nicknames: Pumpkin seems pretty straightforward, it's one I heard all the time from my mama.

Bug in this case is a shortened version of love bug, another one from my childhood.

I've heard both terms used for all types of loved ones, from kids to friends to partners.

-------

You shouldn't be so surprised to see the blood in your underwear- but you are. Between the unexpected quest and the busy schedule you've had to adjust to, you just have been way too busy to pay attention to when you'd next start your period.

Thankfully, you have a few pads in the bag that had travelers with you - but only three. And that isn’t really enough. But you have one for now.

(Thank God you carry a few emergency pads for yourself and others.)

After putting in ypur pad and washing your hands you return to the group. (At least the cramps, moodswing, and genral soreness makes more sense.)

You only walk another hour before you arrive at the inn in Hateno in Wild's hyrule. Rooms are rented, and you're paired up with Twilight.

The first thing you do is collapse into your bed, groaning as you let your body relax.

"You don't look so good, pumpkin." Twilight says as he sits on the edge of your bed.

"I don't feel so good." You admit.

"Can I help?"

"Not really..."

"What's going on?"

You look at him, trying to decide if it's even worth telling him about. He doesn't seem like the type of person to shame anyone about this kind of thing.

But still. It's a little embarrassing that you aren't better prepared and that whole- awful period symptoms ranging from cramps to killer headaches and vomiting.

And if you're a heavy bleeder? It's no wonder some people call it shark week.

"It's um-... I'm bleeding?" You blurt out- not sure how to word it or what people call it in his time.

"What? Where- (Y/n) you can't let yourself bleed without getting it looked at!"

Twilight is pale, and he's very obviously nervous. He looks like he might start trying to single handedly evolve an instant healing spell for anyone to use.

"It's not that!" Ypu say quickly, "It's just that time of the month."

Twilight blinks, taking a moment to process and calm down.

Then he all clicks for him.

"Oh! Oh. Wait, do you have enough stuff for it?"

"Not really. I'll have to grab more tomorrow-"

"I'll go! You don't have to. I know that- periods suck."

"You don't have to."

"I don't mind, (Y/n). Do you have anything in particular you need?"

You take a moment to consider his offer. It's sweet, really.

And you would appreciate not having to go get the things yourself.

Twilight offered. So it probably isn't an issue or a burden.

"If you're willing to go I'd appreciate that."

"Okay, what should I grab?"

You tell Twilight what it is you need. Painkillers, chocolate, a heating pad of some sort, and whatever you use to deal with the actual bleeding.

He just smiles, "I'll be back soon. Why don't you nap?"

"Thank you, Twilight."

"Of course."

-------

You wake up to the door opening.

When you look over, you are relieved to find Twilight with a bag from the store. It seems to have everything you asked for.

"Hey there, bug." Twilight says softly, "You okay?"

"Just- ugh."

"I bet. Here, let's get some food in you."

Twilight pulls out one of your favorite snacks and hands it to you easily. He seems content just to take care of you.

After you've eaten and settled back down, you find yourself looking back to him.

"Can uh-" you aren't sure if it's weird to ask him for cuddles.

Is it?

And more importantly do you care either way?

"Can we maybe cuddle?" You ask after a moment. Becuase really the worst he can say is no.

(Maybe a mean variation of no but that dosen’t seem like him.)

"If you're sure you don't mind that I smell like dirt."

"We all smell that way. It's fine, Twi."

He sets his pelt over his own bed before he makes his way over to you.

He sits on your bed, holding his arms open. He's letting you take the lead on this one, not sure of if and or where you hurt.

You move - tucking yourself under his chin and wrapping your arms around his torso. You curl into him, reveling in the warmth Twilight provides.

Twilight, move you both so you're lying down. You're on his chest while one of his hands moves back and forth across your back.

He's gentle with you. But he holds you firm, sure in his arms. He dosen’t force you to stay, but he dosen’t ask you to leave.

Twilight is one of those people who are just good at giving hugs.

"Thanks." You say after a while.

"Of course, I want you to feel better."

"I really appreciate that. And you."

Twilight laughs, amused, fond, and bashful all at once.

You find yourself struck by how much genuine care is in his eyes when he looks at you.

"Get some rest, I'll still be here later." He says before pressing a kiss to the top of your head.

You would argue - really you would... but it's very comfortable and you know that you're safe here.

Sleep claims you again quickly, but you know that you'll still be safe and cared for when you wake up.
