a loud coughing fit came from over your shoulder where you slept in bed, making you open your eyes to see if it would stop. it did not, instead intensifying after you look over your shoulder to find a hunched over ellie sitting up with her legs swung over the edge of the bed. she notices that her coughing woke you up and she quickly palms her mouth, hoping to muffle the volume of the coughs.
she tries—and fails—to get an apology out in between her coughs: "fuck- i didn't mean- didn't mean to wake you up."
you simply watch with your eyes wide and brows drawn in naked concern. finally, she calms down and lowers her voice to a whisper. "sorry baby."
rolling onto your back, you extend your hand out towards her and then stop it midair, shocked at how unconcerned she seems at her previous death hacks.
"um, hello? are you okay?" you whisper-yell.
she lifts the covers to get back into bed, trying to rub her eyes of the sleep that was so violently interrupted. "i woke up with the worst cotton mouth so i just drank whatever was on my nightstand. it was soda. squirt to be exact. i think i just asphyxiated."
"stupid- why would you drink soda for thirst? drink water," you scold her.
"it was right there- i just needed anything! i would've drank chocolate milk if it was right there!"
"dummy," you huffed. the blinking led lights of the clock on ellie's nightstand catches your eye—it was just past two in the morning. yawning, you say, "just come back, let's sleep."
she didn't resist—she looked exhausted. ellie was anything but a morning person, and she got cranky if she didn't get a full night's rest.
scooting down to get under the blanket, she pulls it up to her chin and turns on her side to face you staring back at her. she moves with a shimmy to get closer to your body, pushing her legs in between yours and tangling them as she nearly presses her nose to yours. with a content sigh, she nuzzles into her pillow and closes her eyes.
softly chuckling at her apparent routine to get resituated, you huff out a laugh, making her open her eyes.
"what?" she murmurs, confused at what you were laughing at.
"el, what do you mean what? i'm exhaling right into your nose and inhaling your breath."
"just say you don't love me," she pouts, theatrically turning over to face her back to you and yanking the blanket.
"you're so annoying," you say and roll your eyes while sitting up to litter her face in kisses. "please come back so we can share germs?"
"that's more like it." she returns to her previous position with her legs tangled in yours and face a centimeter from yours.
her head pushes forward for a second to drop a kiss on your lips—just a quick goodnight. "'night, baby."
you laugh, "good night, ellie."
you settle into your pillow and close your eyes to begin to drift off to sleep when you feel the weight of ellie's head lift off of her pillow. after a second or two, you open your eyes to a squint to see ellie looking at you in disbelief.
"can you give me a kiss back or should i roll back over and social distance again?"
"oh my god, ellie, can we sleep?!" she raises her eyebrows in expectation, giving you her cheek to kiss. "my stupid big baby."
you plant your hands on either side of her jaw, speaking and punctuating every few words with a kiss. "yes, i love you,"--kiss--"yes, i wanna exchange microorganisms with you,"--kiss--"no, i don't want us to sleep six feet apart,"--kiss--"...but... drinking squirt three seconds after you open your eyes is actually insane, baby."
you see in her eyes how badly she wants to throw something back at you, but her cheeks are barely containing her suppressed smile, so instead she just giggles and lays her head back on her pillow, the tip of her nose tickling yours.
"good nighttt," ellie whispers in a sing-songy tone, kissing your lips once, twice, three times before settling back in her nose-to-nose position.
"you're so cute," you blurt out, pulling the blanket up and tucking it under your chin.
her words started to slur, her syllables beginning to blend together by exhaustion. "d'you wanna order food tomorrow morning for breakfast in bed?"
"it is tomorrow—it's, like, 2:30 now."
she kisses her teeth in irritation. "you fuckin' smartass," she murmurs, a long yawn following. "do you want to or no?"
"duh i want to. i can't wait to get fat together."
she takes so long to respond that you think she's dozed off until she mutters out, "perfect," a sleepy smile taking over her face.
"can... can we get caprisuns in the cup for him, too?" she adds on nonsensically.
"baby, what?" you question, unable to make any sense of her... request? her statement? she's too tired to be speaking.
ellie's breaths slow down again, making you think she's actually fallen asleep until she hums to get your attention. you hum back at her to show you're listening, and she starts to speak.
"can we get a liter of squirt tomorrow with breakfast?"
"what the fuck. bedtime now. good night," you say, shutting down her meaningless rambling to go to sleep. right before your eyes shut, you notice her soft pout at you silencing her, but it fades off into a smile as you fall asleep.
