“so, sleep, honey. i’ll be here when you wake up,” charlie promises her, both of them probably dealing with a little separation anxiety now that they’re back together. “promise.”
“should’ve changed into mine, but i probably would’ve fell back down the stairs if i tired at home.” fingers tangle in charlie’s hair, just to rest at the back of her head and she sighs, “so so tired.”
“i was in bed when i texted you,” charlie says, easily nuzzling against val, head tucking under her chin. “wasn’t gonna change just to get back in bed.”
charlie’s already in her pajamas so she slides her jacket off and tosses it aside ; crawling in on the other side and snuggling up next to val. “god, i missed this.”
“just this,” val hums and she already slips off her jeans, kicking them from her body. after that, she’s climbing up the bed and sliding underneath the covers.
“me either,” charlie says, chest aching but she leads val upstairs anyway. once they’re in the room, she helps her sit on the side of her bed; tugging the blondes jacket off. “want some clothes or are you gonna just sleep in your tshirt?”
val’s actually so tired, it feels like her brain was working slow, so charlie guiding her, has her sighing in relief. “kay, good. don’t wanna sleep alone anymore.”
charlie softens and even though she should be careful considering val had broken up with her? she’s slept like shit without her. “yeah, baby. of course,” she says, taking her hand again and guiding her towards the stairs.
