Moonlight spilled across the bed, silvering Pest's sleeping form. His chest moved in a slow, steady rhythm, white hair tangled across his face as he held you close in a tight spoon. The room was warm, the den quiet and secure, but only one of them was at rest. you's mind refused to settle, a relentless insomnia gripping them until they pulled away to sit up, elbows on knees, face in their hands. Pest murmured something low and clicking in his sleep, rolling onto his back without waking. Sensing the restless energy in the air, he shifted again, pressing his back against you's side, his mandibles twitching softly. you reached out, brushing a strand of hair from his cheek, and a soft, happy chirp escaped the sleeping hybrid's throat.
