I hope this suits you, I'm so sorry about the wait as usual😞

"Jesus, Brat-Features. Lie still." Abbacchio grumbled, shaking you off gently and pulling his pillow closer.
"S-S-Orry..." you just about managed, breath catching at the base of your throat. You had shuffled yourself so you were actually plastered to your boyfriends back, leaving him no space to sleep comfortably. He was about to try and drift off again when he felt the mattress spring upwards, and a weight lift itself from the bed. Silence followed, aside from some small, shaky breaths and shuffles. He opened his eyes, stretching out to switch on the bedside lamp and turning over to face you. His heart sunk as he saw you, knees clacking as you uncontrollably shook, your shoulders raised and stiff like spiders legs. Your face was pale and worn, most likely from the hour of panicking you had just endured. "I'm sorry, Leone," you sobbed, voice cracking as you wiped a tear from your eye. "I didn't want to wake you up and bother you, but I just ended up making it worse!" Sighing, he gestured for you to come back to bed, patting the covers gently.
"I... Didn't realise you felt like this. You should have told me." Staring at the floor, you fell quiet and meek, weak from your emotional roller-coaster. He noticed, crawling over to your side of the bed with his arms offered to you. "Hey, Dollface. Come here, before I drag you over here."
You complied somewhat, presenting your arm for him to grasp lightly and pull you back into bed, wrapping his limbs around you and pulling the covers back up over you. "You're gonna be fine," he assured, raking fingers through your hair and stroking your back as you lay on his chest. Hi chest was broad and warm, the scent of his soft skin grounding you in this moment of protection. Shutting your eyes, he felt your lips stretch into a smile as a stray tea fell on his flesh.
"I'm sorry, Leone," you mumbled, under your tired facade.
"Don't apologise. You can't help it." Taking a deep breath, you listened to his heart beat steadily, its rhythm sending you to sleep on his front.
How were you so cute? Slumbering all snug on his chest, your delicate breaths levelling out as you fell deeper into sleep in the safety and security of his arms.

Leone may have ended up staying awake all night watching you sleep, but if it meant you felt safe in his presence, that was more than enough for him. Perhaps he had been granted a second chance to protect someone he loved.
