despite all of your efforts, you could not fall asleep. it wasn't that you weren't tired, you most definitely were after the long week you'd had. you just felt completely restless. your body was actually starting to hurt as you lay in bed, something that happened to you every once in a while.

through your suffering, your boyfriend, jay, lies next to you, half-asleep. he couldn't fall asleep as he could feel your constant movement and quiet whines in discomfort. he was trying to let you work it out since sometimes it did, but clearly this time wasn't it.

after you moved your leg another time, jay had enough.

he turned over to face you, "baby, why are you moving so much?" he asked, though he pretty much knew the answer.

— "i'm so uncomfortable. i can't fall asleep." you complained.

jay sighed as he pulled you closer, pressing a chaste kiss on your forehead. "you want to try taking a warm bath?" he asked. he'd done his research on this since this happened to you somewhat often. he hated that you had to go through this but he wanted to help with it the most he could.

— "but i'm tired." you whined, your body wanting you to move while at the same time feeling completely fatigued.

— "it's okay. i'll be there." he reassured you, wanting you to know that he'd take care of you and be there if you were to hopefully fall asleep.

you eventually gave in and he nodded, getting up with a small sigh as he walked around to your side of the bed and helped you up, holding your hand gently as he walked you to the bathroom. he sat on the closed toilet as he turned the water on, putting the plug in the drain and testing the water with his fingers to see if it was the right temperature, doing all of that as you undressed.

once you'd undressed, you got in the tub, and sat down, the water slowly filling up around you. you couldn't lie, the warm feeling of the water did slightly help but your legs still felt the urge to move around. jay stood up momentarily to grab your soap before sitting down again.

he helped you wash yourself as you relaxed a bit in the warm water. eventually, the water started to get colder as he sat down next to where you sat with your legs out in the tub, his hand holding yours comfortingly. he was sleepy but he knew you were more sleepy and he hated that you couldn't fall asleep so he wanted to help you.

— "i'm ready to get out." you said and he nodded, his hand reaching into the water and pulling the plug out, the water started to drain down the hole as he stood up and helped you up, slowly helping you out of the tub so you didn't slip or hurt yourself.

he then wrapped a towel around your body and you held it against yourself. he put his hand on your back and led you back to the bedroom. you then got into your pajamas, brushed, and did all that you needed to do to your hair, before laying down in bed again with your boyfriend.

— "you want to try distracting yourself?" jay asked. "we could watch something." he suggested.
