it was late, past midnight, the both of you were already in bed, cuddling and having a peaceful moment for yourselves

you lie on your back, with Natalia comfortably on top of you, with her head against your neck, and your hand rubbing and running through her hair

it was a slow night, you both were tired but not quite enough to fall asleep, you know to treat Natalia gently because of how fragile she can be during nights, when she’s all tired and every sense she has just….multiplies, you sometimes didn’t understand that though, but you tried your best, for her

as you were cuddling her, you suddenly feel prickles of wet tears against your neck, followed by quite sniffling
