— ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ anxious , peter sutherland .
female reader. kissing. you’re stubborn. request from anon. ꒰ peter was always up at night before he had to duty to protect you so it was normal for him to stay up, but he’s become more anxious since then too. ꒱
“come on. sleep,” he sighed, spotting you sitting up in the bed of the hotel after his shower. he had been telling you the same thing for the past hour but you haven’t listened, of course. you knew how serious he was when he said it and you only chuckle at him. actually, not only at him but at the thought that he cares about you sleeping but will stay up all night long.
“i will, if you will,” you say, watching him stuff his dirty clothes in one of his duffel bags that sat on the couch by the window. you hear him sigh again, just lighter as he zips the bag up. “fine,” he mumbled finally turning around to you. he walked over to the single bed, moved onto the side that was empty and he got in.
he laid himself down and opened his arm closest to you so you could lay on his chest. with a stupid smile, you did so, letting his arm wrap around you and his warmth be your own. eyes closed, you feel him place a soft kiss to your head. “goodnight,” he mumbled after. “goodnight,” you whispered and only hoped he heard.
you didn’t feel yourself drift off, but in the middle of the night you go to turn and feel nothing holding you. your eyes slowly open before you wiped the sleep from your eyes. vision now clear, you only see empty sheets below you through the darkness. you panic for a little until you hear light snoring close by.
you look over to the source of sound to find him sitting up on the couch, eyes closed, mouth slightly open. without much thought, you got out of bed, thin hotel blanket dragging on the floor behind you as you move your way over to the couch. carefully, you laid on the other side of him. you curled your legs to make sure they didn’t hit him and you used the armrest of the couch as a pillow.
you feel asleep to his light snoring and soon dozed off.

his eyes shutter open, sun from the window hurting his eyes. after waking up a bit, his first instinct is to check if you’re okay so he scans over your bed through squinted eyes and find empty sheets. his eyes quickly opened wide and without letting his eyes adjust to the new found light in the room he could only blink multiple times. confusion and concern floods his stomach and lungs. he calls out your name as he stands, not taking in the fact he just woke up so he tumbles a bit.
he’s quick makes his way towards the bathroom, shouting your name a bit louder. he moves back the shower curtains, finding nothing. “peter?” he hears you call and he’s confused as he moves out of the bathroom, back into the main area. in sed area, he finds you rubbing your eyes, blanket covering your legs.
his heart settles in it’s rightful place in his chest. “when’d you get out of bed?” he asks, not showing his relief in all its glory as he walked towards you. “when i noticed you weren’t sleeping with me anymore. why? is there something wrong?” you ask, pulling the blanket from you so you could stand but he shakes his head. “no, i just thought something had happened since i couldn’t find you,” he said, sitting back down next to you. his arm are quick to wrap around your torso so he could pull you closer and you let it happen. you leaned into his touch.
“sorry,” you mumbled out and you spot the look of confusion on his features. “why?” he asks. “about scaring you. i just wanted to be close is all,” you replied, his eyes looking into yours. at first there’s no response, until he cups your cheek and leans down to kiss you. the two of you kiss each other with lazy lips. soft long kisses becoming your best friend as you do so.
soon after, he pulls away. “don’t apologize,” he says, sweetly and you could only melt, a smile finding its way onto each of your faces.
