The raging sound of thunder kept the both of you awake, unable to fall asleep despite the endless attempts to do so. Tighnari was growing impatient, last night he wasn’t able to even close his eyes and it seems that the same fate awaits him today.

Every time Tighnari managed to get some deserved shut-eye time he was interrupted by the roaring clash of thunder, which made him groan in annoyance. Tired of tossing and turning, Tighnari sits up in bed and lights up the small desk lamp, now illuminating the room.

His gaze sets on you, who’s peacefully resting on the bed next to his. With a sigh, the man carefully taps your shoulder in order to grab your attention.

“Can you sleep with all this noise?” At the shake of your head, Tighnari let out yet another exhausted exhale. “I figured. Do you have any idea as to what could help us to fall asleep?”

“Maybe cuddling?” Is what you murmur while slowly starting to feel sleepy. Usually, Tighnari would’ve rejected the idea but he’s so desperate to get some rest that he actually accepts.

After lifting up the blanket, Tighnari scooted underneath it until your back was pressing against his chest. For a few moments he felt relief– but it was not enough. It wasn’t until he was laying on top of your stomach –with his ears pointing towards where your heart should be– that Tighnari finally felt satisfied and relieved enough.

The soothing sound of your heartbeat was actually enough to help him drift into a state of drowsiness.
