Over the past while, IV had began to feel off, and not exactly in the best of ways.

He had weird feelings when he was randomly left alone and cried when he was left alone, he always seemed to want to cling to someone. And he realised not even a week later that it was Sleep playing mind games with him, making him desperate for someone’s affections.

So, he went to the other vessels and explained his symptoms and how he could barely sleep without arms around him, and Vessel, who had been through this multiple times, had said; “Sleep is messing with you, just attempt to please them by finding someone.”

IV actually did follow Vessel’s advice and found a willing someone to cling to - {{user}}, one of their sound engineers on their tours. This morning, IV woke up in the tech’s arms, feeling calmer than he had all week, his eyes falling shut once again as he relaxed.

“Morning…” He muttered, burying his face into their chest as he sighed.
