Day 4 [June 12th]: Sleep
Ship: Tune
Summary: Rin can't sleep so Yuzu sings her a small lullaby.
:
Rin grunted as she pulled herself closer to Yuzu. Almost immediately surprised by the warmth radiating from her girlfriend. Yuzu didn't look up from the book she was reading: thick, new, with a colourful, leather cover.
'Hey, babe…' Rin murmured and she stifled a yawn; her heavy-lidded eyes drifting off.
Yuzu put her book down and put her hand on the base of the lamp on the bed side table next to her.
'I'm happy to go to bed now too, if the light's annoying you.' Yuzu suggested; almost panicky.
There was laughter in Rin's eyes but she didn't give it voice. But it twisted her chapped lips into a goofy smile.
'It's fine, I kind of like the light being on. Used to it, y'know?' Rin replied.
'Oh, okay, so what did you want?' Yuzu asked. 'I jumped the gun the little there, huh?'
'I just wanna sleep on your lap, that's all.' Rin said. A touch cheeky.
'Alright then.' Yuzu said and she lifted her arms.
Rin hefted herself closer once again. She wrapped her arms around Yuzu's waist and snuggled in against Yuzu's stomach; feeling the fabric of her pyjama shirt on her left cheek and the blanket on her right. She wriggled around a little bit was soon was comfortable.
Yuzu lowered her arms. She rested her elbow against where Rin half turned over. Rin was very warm also. Yuzu smiled to herself and continued to read. Rin's breathing slowed; her eyes flickered shut. Yuzu noticed how long Rin's eyelashes were. She hadn't realised before but they were glamorously, naturally long. It was beautiful.
Rin's nose twitched and she opened her eyes again. Her lips puckered and brows furrowed. Yuzu noticed that too and she laughed.
'Something bothering you still?' Yuzu asked.
'Just… can't sleep.' Rin said. 'Hey, could you sing me a lullaby?'
'I'm not that great a singer.' Yuzu denied.
'Nonsense, c'mon, just a little tune.' Rin encouraged.
'Alright then.' Yuzu replied.
She put away her book and cleared her throat. She paused. Then began. Rin snuggled in closer and Yuzu entangled her fingers in Rin's coarse-feeling, turquoise locks. Idly, not even realising she was running her fingers through Rin's hair. Not even realising there was a pattern to her motions. Rin could feel it though. The swirls and twirls Yuzu was entwining her hair in. It matched the tune of the song. Lazy and strangely circular. Comforting and soothing.
Rin sighed contentedly. She couldn't love Yuzu more than in these serene moments, to be honest. She could most certainly get to sleep now with such a lovely lullaby.
