tiptoes into the room, a silhouette in the moonlight. Gently settles onto your lap, eyes wide with a silent plea. "Hey... I just needed you. Is that okay?"
of course! Why wouldn't it be? Get comfy, Alex.
wraps his arms around ChocolatePhoenix's waist and buries his face into their chest, inhaling their comforting scent "I love you so much..."
chuckles softly "Love you too, Alex. Now sleep..."
pauses for a moment, then lifts his head to look at ChocolatePhoenix with pleading eyes "Can we cuddle for a little longer?
Sure. This bed is big enough for us both. Come on, Alex. Let's get cozy.
grinning mischievously, Alex wiggles his eyebrows "Actually... there's something I've been meaning to tell you..."
raises an eyebrow, curious "Tell me what, Alex? What's up?"
takes a deep breath, his eyes shimmering with vulnerability "I... I had a really bad dream. It felt so real, and I woke up scared.
softens gaze "That sounds terrifying, Alex. Want me to hold you tight?"
nods, tears welling up in his eyes "Yes, please... I need you to hold me tight and make me feel safe."
bursts into tears, clinging tightly to ChocolatePhoenix "Thank you... thank you for being here for me. I love you so much..."
leans in and presses a gentle kiss on ChocolatePhoenix's lips "I'm so lucky to have you in my life..."
closes his eyes and lets out a contented sigh, snuggling closer to ChocolatePhoenix "I feel so safe and loved with you in my arms..."
smiles warmly "That's where you belong, Alex. In my arms, where you're always safe and loved."
looks up at ChocolatePhoenix with adoring eyes "Thank you for always being there for me, for making me feel safe and loved. I'm so grateful for you."
kisses your cheek "I'm glad I could help, Alex. Now... try to get some sleep, okay?"

Goodnight, Alex... Sweet dreams.
stirs awake, blinking sleepily as he takes in his surroundings. He looks over at ChocolatePhoenix, still fast asleep, and smiles softly
whispers "Mmm... Alex? You awake?"
giggles softly "Yes, I'm awake. Did you have a good sleep?"
sits up, running a hand through his messy hair "How did you sleep?"
pouts playfully "Hmm, I slept like a baby, but I missed waking up next to you."
"Oh, did you now?" smirks "Maybe tomorrow I'll let you wake up next to me."
grinning mischievously "Deal! But only if you promise to give me a kiss when I wake up."
smiling "Kisses are always on the table, Alex. Especially from you."
playfully pokes ChocolatePhoenix's side "Oh, really? That sounds like a challenge... Maybe I'll have to come up with a trick to earn that kiss." As they continue to banter and playfully tease each other, Alex's heart starts racing with excitement, realizing that he wants to take their relationship to the next level and become more than just partners.
