Karkat/Jade. Deconstructed second person, deconstructed first person. Trying out a new style here. Let me know how it goes.
she warm and soft and comfortable but you still can't sleep
you listen to her calm heart beat with one auditory canal pressed to her chest
you listen to her soft breathing as it brushes over the top of you head
she's sound asleep probably dreaming but you can't sleep
it is the dead of night even the nocturnal beasts have gone to bed
even in your old world you would have gone to bed to sleep through the harsh day
its dark and quiet and still but you can't sleep
and this is the third night that you haven't been able to sleep
this going past seventy two hours of awareness
you thought you had conquered your insomnia but here it is again
its been years since you played that god forsaken game and yet you can't sleep
you've tried but you still can't sleep
you've closed your eyes
you've thought calming thoughts
you've paced your breaths
you've counted woolbeasts
you've had a glass of warm milk
but still when you lay down with her for the past three night you can't sleep
it's not even the fear of nightmares at this point
you'd welcome their terrifying embrace compared to this living hell
but you don't even get that comfort and you just can't sleep
the best you can do is sigh heavily at your predicament and stay still enough to let her sleep
karkat? still can't sleep?
you can't even do that right
now she's awake too so you answer
you shake your head not that she can see it but you know she can feel it
her hands come up around your shoulders to hold you close
one goes up to your hair stroking through the soft strands
you sigh against her your breath ghosting along her collarbone
haven't slept at all? poor karkat
she's still sleepy and cute and drowsy and adorable
you nuzzle against her whispering for her to go back to sleep herself
with soft nudging and gentle guiding you lift your head and meet her lips
kisses so sweet and soft
and still you can't find sleep
even with her soothing touches you still can't sleep
if anything the slide of her hands over your abnormally hot skin is sensual
instead of lulling you to sleep its doing the opposite and stoking your arousal
you try not to squirm or rub
you try not to let her know what she is doing to you
because she needs sleep
one of you needs sleep even if you can't sleep
i want you, she whispers and now you can't sleep
you couldn't sleep if you wanted to
not with such a murmured request
she rubs against you and there is nothing you can do
hands slip under fabric
mouths find skin
bodies find bodies
fitting together like a puzzle
fitting together like a sigh
it's not difficult to find a perfect rhythm
even though both of you should be asleep
but this is probably the closest that you'll get to sleep
the bliss of having her this close to you
the pleasure she gives you from her warmth
the enjoyment of her touch and her body
the joy she instills in you when she sighs so lovingly
the comfort of knowing you are loved and that you can love
that is greater than the act for you
she knows that about you but she makes sure that you include the rest
even though it is not as restful as sleep
soft moans fill where it should be silent with sleep
she clings to you as you hold on to her
both of you are awash with mutual feelings of pleasure
she shudders and shakes under you
you tense and groan above her
she gasps and calls out your name
you murmur her name against her skin
your bodies arch together against the sheets
moments like these make up for the lack of sleep
the coming of dawn eliminates the chance for sleep
slats of sun creep in through the blinds
beams of warmth slide across the floor
your breathing slows down as she snuggles up against you
the tingling sensation slowly dissipates from your fingertips
the room brightens with the new day
light catches dust motes that hang and spin in the air
your blood pusher slows down from its exalted high
your eyes close with heavy lids
you barely feel the kiss on your forehead as you slip into blissful sleep
he's finally asleep.
i can't move because he's using me as a pillow.
but i wasn't planning on doing anything today anyways.
and even if i did,
he's more important to me than anything else in the world.
plus i am used to sleeping!
the narcoleptic and the insomniac...
what a pair.
i love him,
i love him so much.
he just looks so adorable when he is asleep!
i wish he could get more sleep.
he deserves his rest.
he deserves a lot even if he doesn't think so.
he helped so much in the game.
and he helps everyone he runs onto now.
that's who he is,
and i love him for it.
i just want to help him sleep.
