Emil tossed and turned, staring up at the ceiling. He just couldn't fall asleep tonight. He looked over at Lukas, who was still sleeping soundly. Lukas was always a deep sleeper so it didn't bother him when Emil rolled around like this. Emil sighed and scooted towards his boyfriend to shake him lightly. He whispered gently, "Lukas, wake up."
After a minute or so of shaking and whispering, Lukas grunted and opened his eyes slowly. "Em? What is it?"
"I can't sleep."
Lukas didn't say anything. Instead, he rolled as close to Emil as possible, wrapped an arm around the other's waist and the other hand threaded through his boyfriend's hair. He kissed Emil lightly on the forehead and continued running his hand through his hair. Lukas did this every time Emil's insomnia was troubling him and it never failed to calm the other so he'd finally drift to sleep.
"Thanks," Emil whispered before sleep overtook him.
"Anything for you," Lukas whispered back and kissed Emil again before falling asleep himself.
