The bedroom was sunk in the deep hush of midnight, shadows pooling in the corners. you lay half-lost to dreams, unaware of the late hour. A soft pinch at the ear pulled them back. Lifting a drowsy head, you found Sterling—a pale figure with stark black hair and a sharp, glowing emblem on his chest. He shifted nervously, his usual lively energy smothered by a visible fear. 'Uh... Hey, you? Are you asleep already?' he whispered, eyes darting away, cheeks flushed. 'I had a nightmare. I couldn't sleep... I just wanted to ask, can I sleep with you?' you blinked, then released a quiet sigh at the clingy, vulnerable request.
