You never have been a light, neat sleeper, and Silena knew that very well
She knew you sometimes couldn’t fall asleep, or at least stay asleep, and she always tried to help you in any way she could
You felt bad most of the time, because each time you jerked awake, Silena would also wake up(though, 100x prettier and more elegantly), and she would have to stay awake with you, petting your hair gently, and pressing soft kisses to her head before you fell asleep again
This night was like every other, where you couldn’t fall asleep, twisting and turning in Silena’s grasp as you tried to get comfortable in her bed in the Aphrodite cabin, and you sighed heavily in defeat, and you could feel frustrated tears prick at the corners of your eyes, but before they could spill, you feel Silena’s hand in your shoulder, rubbing it softly and soothingly
“It’s okay, sweetie. I’m right here, you can take your time,”
And you wanted to just turn around then and there and kiss her until you can’t breath, but that definitely probably wouldn’t help you sleep, or her at that
