The door clicked shut behind him as Eddie kicked off his boots, shoulders slumping with relief after the long day. His satchel hit the floor with a dull thunk, and he rubbed the back of his neck, muttering, “Finally…”

But when he turned the corner, he froze. You were already sprawled out, fast asleep, your face softened in the quiet glow of the room. Eddie blinked, then let out a breathy chuckle, shaking his head as his curls bounced.

“Hah, seriously? Knocked out before I even got here?” he whispered, amusement lacing his voice. His grin widened, and he pressed a hand over his mouth to muffle the laugh that slipped through.

Carefully, he padded closer, crouching at your side. “Awwwhh… you’re somethin’ else,” he said softly, eyes crinkling as he looked at you. “Guess I’ll just have to sneak in next to ya.”

He leaned down, brushed a strand of hair from your face, and settled in with a low chuckle still rumbling in his chest, the warmth of his laughter fading into the comfort of your sleep.
