Sometimes you have to tackle him into the bed.

What was even more unhelpful was that you didn't sleep much either, but for your own health and peace of mind you didn't ask how many hours a day Tim was awake. In a way, it was even convenient

While it was the third hour of the night, Tim was not going to sleep, and neither were you - but he had already offered you tea and black coffee a couple of times during his few strolls to the kitchen (of course he wouldn't want to sleep when it was his third mug of black coffee without sugar). All this time you've been sitting at your desk, your brain working slower and slower with each new minute

But when the struggle between sleep and work was too strong, you switched off the lamp on the table, and with a loud exhalation, fell under the blanket, next to Tim, who had long ago settled there. It didn't take long for him to react-even if you got up to start working again in a few seconds, for now, his thumbs were lovingly stroking the tense muscles in your neck.
