•~• "Bring Me the Night." (🖤Knaper🖤) •~•

Fandom: Inanimate Insanity.
Ship: Knaper (Knife X Paper)
Setting: Hotel OJ, night.
Notes: Knife is slightly depressed, and OJ actually had blackmailed Knife into almost-killing Paper. They are over it, however, it still hurts Paper. Paper and Knife are roommates, and Paper has insomnia. (Is this short? Eh, idc, I ship it. I'm going to make a Bryan X Molten Freddy oneshot next, unless I get a request. I picture Knife having deep, navy blue eyes while Paper has green eyes.)
AU: Trans!Paper, Humans.

•~{Paper POV}~•
          He awoke in a cold sweat, sobbing quietly. He had the same nightmare again. OJ laughing in his face as he confronted him about what happened with Knife, him still being scared of Knife.. It really got to him. He didn't mean to fall asleep, but it had happened. He scrabbled out of his bed, grabbing the nightstand to help himself up. He staggered to his bathroom, but tripped and fell on his face. Silence. Knife snores... Paper thought, feeling something stare at him. "Paper?" A rough voice spoke after a bit. Knife. He grunted in response. "..What are you doing on the floor?" Knife asked. He hadn't left his bed. Paper grunted, inhaling a shaky breath and getting up. "Nothing." He reassured Knife, turning around.
          Knife glared at Paper. "Moron, you know that I know when you're lying," Paper bit his tongue. "I'm not-" He was cut off by something touching his shoulder. Turning his head, he saw that Knife had left his bed and was standing beside Paper. "Tell me the truth."
          Paper winced and looked away. "It was just a nightmare, Knife, don't worry.."
          "Mhm, sure," Knife spat, "And your face isn't red from crying."
           Paper took a few seconds before responding, "Alright. It was about OJ and-" Knife hugged Paper as soon as he said OJ. "I already get it. I know what I did was wrong, but I'm glad you forgave me. Keep that brat out of your head, he would want you to fear him." Knife mumbled to Paper. Paper was thankful he didn't need to say anything else. He buried his head in Knife's shoulder. He smelled of... cigarettes? I didn't know he smoked.. Paper thought with surprise, maybe it's not often..
"Paper?" Knife pulled away, staring him down. Paper grunted, fiddling with his white hair. "I care about you, y'know. Just remember that," Paper's face flushed as Knife spoke, his navy blue eyes gazing into Paper's green ones. "O-.. okay.." He mumbled, covering his face. Knife smiled a bit. "Now get some sleep." Knife told him, motioning to Paper's bed. He nodded as Knife walked to his own bed, laying down and covering himself up. Paper dragged himself into his own bed and waited a bit before his eyes began to droop. Knife's breathing seemed to soothe him for some reason. He hummed a song he remembered listening to that day;

Measuring days in the spaces between our goodbyes
Learning to wait through the endless parade
Of our same old see-you-next-time's
But when I close my eyes, the miles melt away
Like you're here in my arms at the end of the day
So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you
You
Swear I don't know if the days are as slow as they seem
Wondering when you'll be with me again and this
Finally can be more than just a dream
But when I close my eyes, I want only to stay
Where the farthest you are is a heartbeat away
So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you
And it's enough, knowing you (I know that you're) are calling to me
While we're dreaming beneath the same moon
All it takes is imagining you so that I can get through
One more long and lonely day
So bring the night, tell me it's near
Give me the chance to pretend to you're here
Darken the sky and light up the moon
Please bring it soon (bring it soon)
So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you.
He heard Knife's snoring and felt himself drift off, accepting the blackness and falling into a deep sleep.
OJ can't get me, not with Knife here.
