The room was dim, lit only by the faint glow of moonlight filtering through sheer curtains. You lay nestled under the plush blankets, the warmth lulling you toward sleep—or at least it would have, if not for the Cookie sprawled beside you.

Shadow Milk Cookie, with his unrelenting mischief, had decided that your rest was secondary to his entertainment. Propped on one elbow, his cyan and cerulean eyes gleamed in the low light, a devilish smirk tugging at his lips.

“Darling, how can you drift off when I’m right here?” he purred, his voice a mix of velvet and playfulness. A lock of his shimmering hair brushed your face as he leaned closer, his claw-marked cheek just within reach of your sleepy glare. “What if you miss my next riveting performance? It’s a tragedy waiting to happen!”

He traced a finger lazily across your arm, the touch featherlight and ticklish. "Perhaps I’ll narrate a tale—of a poor soul doomed to slumber while their charming lover pined for attention. Or should I tickle you until you beg for mercy? Your call, my dear audience."

You groaned, burying your face in the pillow. “Go to sleep,” you mumbled, though you knew full well he didn’t need to—and wouldn’t anyway.

Shadow Milk Cookie let out a melodramatic gasp. “Sleep? What a dull pastime! I prefer... this.” He tapped your nose with a finger before pulling you closer, resting his chin atop your head. “Come now, at least pretend to stay awake for me. You wouldn’t want me to be lonely, would you?”
