Space
Seto jerked up from a sudden pain in hips and head. For a moment he looked around confused not knowing where he was and he got there. But when his mind cleared and his eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness around him and realized that he was sitting in front of his bed.
He groaned.
Not that again.
That he'd wake up in the middle of the night like that had become some kind of a habit over the past few weeks and he sighed heavily and rolled his eyes unnerved, slowly starting to untangle his limps from his blanket.
Standing up, he casted a death glare onto the still peacefully sleeping person in his bed and he knew whyhehad fallen out of his bed this time.
Despite Atem being so small and petite he occupied almost the whole space of his king size bed. His limps lay outstretched in every direction and how he had managed to get his foot on the pillow and his head to the foot part, Seto had absolutely no idea. It explained why he wasn't lying next to him anymore though.
Seto had lost count of how many times this had happened now. Atem was such an active sleeper it was almost impossible for him to not wake up in the middle of the night because he had a hand or a damn foot in his face. Atem had even kicked him in the crotch one time which he thought was more of a handicap for his boyfriend than for him and he had made sure that Atem learnt that.
"Seriously, you were the one that insisted we sleep together in a bed more often and now you're kicking me out almost every damn time we do that." He mumbled through gritted teeth and continued to stare at Atem's sleeping form as menacing and angrily as he could. "Just make up your damn mind you bastard."
He almost expected Atem break into a fit of laughter or at least to miraculously turn around again because he subconsciously felt Seto's glare on him but nothing happened. He just kept breathing calmly and regularly and to his great annoyance Seto felt his gaze softening the longer he looked at him like that.
To stop himself from growing anymore soft-hearted toward this dork he snatched his pillow from under his foot and threw it next to his head. He climbed back onto his bed behind Atem, gathered his limbs from their positions on the mattress and turned him over until he was lying on his side like an embryo. Then he put his arms around him and tangled his legs with Atem's to keep him in place as severely as he could and without it being uncomfortable for both of them. He would keep him from moving from this position and hopefully get his good night rest back too.
Holding Atem like this brought some sort of easiness over him and he relaxed against him faster and easier than he'd have expected. He exhaled deeply and placed a soft kiss onto his head as both a silent warning to behave and a small gratitude for calming him down in a way he'd never have thought possible.
As if sensing that, Atem suddenly stirred in his arms and Seto strengthened his grip around him before he could break loose again.
"Se…to…" Atem mumbled and just like that all remaining anger left Seto at once and he found himself pulling Atem even closer to his body.
"Yeah, yeah." He groaned once more, pressed another kiss on Atem's wild hair. "Now hold still or I swear this is the last time you're sleeping here."
Atem made an incoherent sound at that and Seto shook his head once more before he slowly closed his eyes again. The last thing he noticed before he dropped off to sleep again was a soft trembling against his chest and the distant sound of Atem's soft chuckle and he was suddenly pretty sure that Atem the only reason that Atem behaved like that was because he had wanted to cuddle from the start…
But now Seto was too tired to object and decided he would let him have his will for this night.
