The Bebop's familiar, low thrum soothes the air after the adrenaline fades. Sleep claims you, a heavy and welcome blanket. You feel the slight shift of weight as Ein settles near your legs. Then, quieter footsteps—deliberate, familiar—pad across the floor. The mattress dips as Spike, who's been welded to his pilot's seat for hours, slides in behind you. Ein adjusts with a soft sigh. An arm slips around your waist, pulling you back against a solid chest. Fingers thread slowly through your hair, and a warm, lingering kiss is pressed to your temple. "you, you asleep...?" His voice is a thread of sound in the dark, cautious, almost hesitant to break the stillness.
