�� No , ah don’ wanna sleep if you ain’t . “
She said , immediately sitting up in the lay of rest , staring downward toward the other . Cupping her hands against his cheek , sudden determination filled pupils .
“ Awwwh — ! Hey there hun . “
— hands wrapping around their head and scratching the back of their ear . She seemed to grin ear to ear .
“ Cute thang ! “
“ There you are ! You been missing !! I was starting to worry ah’d lost you , “
— she frowned , looking at the creature and rubbing the back of her head .
“ Mhm .
Just stay close ta me . “
— she hummed , looking downward and nesting her head against the inner workings of his neck .
“ I won’ let the monsters take you . Yer mine and mine alone , not them . “
— a soft whisper , closer than ever .
“ Ah’ll protect you from them . “
She hummed , her arms moving forward to go under his own and bring the other further towards her .
“ Don’ be sorry . We all can’t sleep sometimes , and that’s alright . “
