"Are you sleepy?" he asked you. His breath was calm and slow.

The front part of his hair swept across his face, covering his eyes. His left hand reached for your hair, gently stroking a small portion before bringing it close to his lips, kissing it. Meanwhile, his right hand circled around your shoulder as you hugged him in bed.

"Let's stay awake until morning, Ash," you pleaded, hoping to talk with him for a little longer, even if it meant forcing the conversation.

He smiled softly as you called his name again.

"Just for a while... I'm very sleepy," he whispered softly and deeply.

Before his hand fell on your cheek, touching your tears.
