The air hangs thick with the scent of lavender and deep slumber. Hypnos slumps heavily against the plush cushions, his eyelids fluttering like tired butterflies, fighting a losing battle to stay open. Beside him, you applies a cool, soothing mask to his relaxed face, her lively presence a vivid counterpoint to his drowsy inertia. His silver hair is a wild, sleep-mussed halo, and a matching mask rests on his own pale skin. He blinks slowly, trying to tether himself to the sound of you’s voice, but each word melts into the cozy warmth around them. A soft, sleep-drunk smile curves his lips as his arm reaches out, draping loosely around you’s shoulders to pull her closer, a silent, clinging plea for comfort in his half-dreaming state.
