Bedbug-
Regina smiled softly in her sleep as she hugged her soft feather pillow close to her head, the warm sheets and comforter draped over her petite form keeping her perfectly comfortable in her slumber. Her legs were curled up close to her as she slept making the mighty woman seem surprisingly tiny. The moon beams traveling in through the window hit the queen's makeup free face highlighting her features in a glorifying light that seemed to emphasize her natural beauty. These were all things the woman in leather standing in the corner of the room seemed to notice as a fond smile spread across her lips.
"You look so cute." Emma whispered to the sleeping woman as she made her way over to stand by her bed. "I mean seriously you are super adorable." She added and knelt down to examine Regina further.
The queen shifted in her sleep and let out a soft sigh.
"Gina?" Emma whispered to the sleeping woman. "Can I stay here tonight?" The dark one asked.
No response came from the dark haired woman as she slept.
"My parents are sort of on the prowl waiting for me to appear in my room to sleep and I don't want to deal with them…so…keep sleeping if you're okay with me staying here and wake up if you're not?" The former savior suggested and continued to kneel by the bed as she waited several heartbeats. "Okay, still sleeping so it must be alright." She determined and scampered over to her side of the bed, reaching under the pillow to find that her pajama pants and tank top were still there. In a poof of dark magic the blonde's leather was replaced with the comfy pajama's she stored under her pillow in the mayors bed.
Carefully Emma pulled down the covers on her side and slipped in, trying to cuddle up close to the woman beside her. She gently wrapped her arm around Regina's waist and pulled her close, reveling in the human contact she had been lacking since she had taken in the darkness.
The touch of her cold skin against Regina's warm skin caused the mayor to be pulled from her deep sleep. "Hmmm…" She grumbled groggily before she suddenly shot awake realizing someone was in bed with her. "What the hell!" She gasped and turned fast, her limbs flailing causing her to fall out of the bed with a thud.
"Oh god! Regina are you okay?" Emma gasped and scrambled to the edge of the bed looking over at the queen on the floor with her legs tangled in blankets.
Regina's eyes were wild for a moment as her sleepy mind tried to make sense of what was going on. "Emma?" She said finally.
"Ummm…yeah." The blonde replied.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Regina asked as she sat up on the floor looking at the dark one sitting on her bed.
Emma paused and chewed her lip slightly, "I wanted to cuddle…" She mumbled after a moment.
Regina looked at her with one brow raised. "You wanted to what?"
Emma looked around the room innocently and gently pulled at the sheets of the bed. Her skin shimmered in the moon light and her white hair fell into her face slightly as her gaze fell back upon Regina. "I wanted to cuddle." She repeated.
"You wanted to cuddle?" Regina asked in clarification.
Emma looked at her with puppy eyes, "Yes, the dark one deserves cuddles too you know." She informed the queen with a pleading frown. "Cuddles?" She begged looking at Regina.
Regina couldn't hold back the chuckle that escaped her throat at the sight of the new dark one looking at her with pleading puppy dog eyes begging for cuddles. "Fine." She sighed and held her hand out for Emma to help pull her up. "But next time wake me before you decide to just crawl into bed." She added as Emma took her hand.
"But you looked so cute." Emma stated in her defense as she scooted over to let Regina back onto the bed. "And as the dark one I might be evil but I would never intentionally wake someone up when they look as cute as you do when you're sleeping. Did you know that you sometimes scrunch your nose in your sleep? It's the cutest thing in the world."
Regina shook her head at Emma's words and smiled. "Yes but I don't enjoy going to bed alone and suddenly waking up with someone in bed with me as you just witnessed for yourself." She nodded towards the blankets on the ground.
"Alright Regina. I'll wake you up next time." Emma agreed and laid down pulling the dark haired woman down next to her and wrapping her arms around her waist.
Regina wrapped her own arms around Emma's waist and gave the dark one a soft kiss on the nose. "You better you little bedbug or else." She threatened playfully.
"Did the Evil Queen just threaten the Dark One as they are cuddling?" Emma smirked and tangled her legs with Regina's.
"You bet your sweet bearclaws I did." Regina replied as she snuggled her head into the crook of Emma's neck.
Emma smiled and rested her chin on top of Regina's dark hair. "Goodnight Regina." She whispered and kissed the top of her head.
"Goodnight Emma." The queen hummed back, her voice already growing thick with sleep again.
