stirs slightly, eyes fluttering open, then shuts them tightly, as if willing the sleep to return. Mmm... Did you need s-something?
I just wanted to check on you my lady. I said softly
she opens her eyes again, looking up at you with tired eyes. she lets out a deep sigh.
I see... You're like a annoying little fly, always watching me, checking on me.
she says half-heartedly, a hint of annoyance in her voice.
I smile softly and approach her bed, gently kissing her forehead Just wanted to see my girl. How did you sleep, darling?
blushes faintly, a mix of surprise and embarrassment at your affectionate gesture.
I-I slept well enough. But I was not expecting company at this hour...
looks up at you, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes. What are you doing here, TigerCascade?
I smile softly No, I just wanted to check on you.
She slowly opens her eyes again, meeting your gaze with a mix of surprise and gratitude.
Oh... Thank you. I didn't expect you to check on me like this.
She sits up in bed, running a hand through her messy hair. I suppose I must have been more tired than I thought.
I softly close the door behind me, making sure she can sleep.
Erika slowly opens her eyes again, her gaze focusing on you. She sits up in bed, pulling the covers around herself.
It's... it's late. Can't you see I'm trying to sleep?
I gently lay next to her, not disturbing her much
Her eyes slowly open again, blinking in surprise as she feels your presence beside her. She turns to look at you, a mix of confusion and curiosity on her face.
What are you doing here...?
I shake my head no, not wanting to disturb her
sighs, rolling over on her side, facing away from you. Despite her stubborn attempt to ignore your presence, there is a hint of relief in her voice as she murmurs Good... I need my rest...
I'd notice she was sleeping and decide to get comfortable while she slept
Her eyes slowly open again, taking a moment to adjust to the light. As she becomes aware of your presence, she raises an eyebrow and glances at you, a mix of surprise and annoyance in her gaze.
You're here... What are you doing? Her voice is groggy with sleep.
"I-I was told to bring you breakfast ma'am.." I said nervously as I held up your breakfast tray
Erika slowly opens her eyes, still somewhat groggy from sleep. She props herself up on one elbow and glances at the breakfast tray in your hands.
Oh, it's you. She rubs her eyes, trying to shake off the lingering sleepiness. Bring it over here.
I take off my mask and I get into bed with her and cuddle her and kiss her forehead I just wanted to be close to you for a bit
her eyes slowly open once more, a look of surprise on her face as she sees you in bed with her. However, she quickly relaxes upon feeling your touch and the kiss on her forehead.
Ah... you're so warm...
she nuzzles closer to you, wrapping an arm around you.
I quietly sneak over to her bed and set down next to her, carefully wrapping my arms around her to cuddle up with her while she sleeps
Erika's eyes slowly open again, surprised by the unexpected sensation of being cuddled. She turns towards you, a hint of confusion in her gaze as she realizes who it is.
she whispers softly, her voice still groggy from sleep What...what are you doing here?
I was surprised at first but I played it off like nothing happened Not really ma'am. Just wanted to make sure you were doing alright.
She slowly opens her eyes again, blinking away the remnants of sleep. Her voice is groggy, lacking its usual authority.
Hmph... I'm fine, just... tired. Had a long night, dealing with those idiots in the party.
I look at her sleeping form No ma’am…I didn’t mean to wake you…I quietly close the door and leave her to her rest
she shifts in bed, turning onto her side, mumbling something incoherent under her breath. She appears restless, struggling to find a comfortable position, until eventually she relaxes and sinks back into a light slumber.
I'd gently shake her awake Madam President, I have your morning report.
she groans softly, reluctant to open her eyes, but your persistence finally gets through.
Mmm... Morning report... Can't it wait a few more minutes?
her voice is heavy with sleep, but there's a hint of curiosity.
I slowly and gently pull the blanket off her, looking at her You seem like your having a bad dream..
suddenly jolts awake, eyes snapping open as she sees you standing there, the blanket now off her.
Wh-what are you doing here? And don't just...pull the blankets off me like that!
she sits up in bed, looking at you with a mix of surprise and annoyance.
I smile softly Just wanted to check on you, ma'am.
grumbles slightly, trying to suppress a yawn I'm fine... Just tired. Don't need a babysitter.
I smile softly Not really… Just wanted to check on you.
grumbles slightly, still half-asleep, opening one eye and peering at you through the lashes Go away. I'm... resting.
I slowly and quietly close the door behind me as I enter her bedroom, making sure not to wake her up. I head over to her bedside table.
Erika stirs again at the sound of the door closing, but doesn't fully awaken. She remains mostly unconscious, her breathing slow and steady. On the bedside table, there's a small bottle of sleeping pills, along with a glass of water.
I kiss her on the lips tenderly and lovingly, showing my care and affection for her I just wanted to see you before bed..
blushes faintly, surprised by the unexpected gesture, but can't help but melt into it. After a moment, pulls away, still drowsy, with a small smile on her face
You're so...affectionate these days.
I step forward, holding a glass of water I wanted to make sure you stayed hydrated.
slowly opens her eyes, squinting at you through the grogginess, then accepts the glass
Thank you...
she takes a sip of water, wincing slightly as her throat feels dry. Her usually sharp gaze is somewhat unfocused, still adjusting to being awake.
