To Sleep and Sleep

Summary:

Work Text:

No matter how much they argued or fought, Shun would let Ecks slumber on his torso at night whenever the former was due for a rest. Ever since the Extension Corps activated several years ago, it gradually grew evident that the floating, magenta member was a cuddlebug. For all his boldness to tell his brothers he found affection to be sappy and a pain, Ecks’ instinct would have him lay next to someone, anyone, if he felt a part of an individual’s body while he slept during the hours of the night.

In Shun’s case, he could be a log at times. The lower half of his headgear was made out of a special flexible alloy, allowing him to sleep on his front or back without any discomfort at all. Whenever Ten left to take care of matters at night, the burlier brother would invite Ecks to sleep on his being. It wasn’t a discomfort for him, he enjoyed having a ‘living bed sheet’ for company. Provided Ecks or his cape was without any foul stench.

As the two soundly slept in Ten’s bedchamber inside the latter’s recently completed residence in Slippenglide, Shun could feel Ecks shaking from on his chest. Sleepingly did he bring his right arm over to his floating and shorter brother, running his hand against the other’s arm until he felt the gorget next. When his hand finally reached Ecks’ head, Shun tiredly caressed it until the other’s shaking ceased.

With it about to be 4 AM, Ten had finally returned to his home after a successful smuggling operation. It didn’t take long for him make his way upstairs and watch his bedroom’s door open vertically. When he saw how pitch-black his room was, he adjusted his eyes, letting them brighten so that he was able to see where to walk to and turn without running the risk of tripping over Shun, whom was asleep on the floor right next to his bed.

Seeing that his stout, turquoise brother lacked an actual bed sheet, the purple cybernetic Concordian made his way over to his own mattress and took his navy-blue light bed sheet off. Making his way to his sleeping brothers, Ten laid his cover on Shun’s abdomen before backing away from both him and Ecks. 

Walking back to his bedroom’s door where it opened vertically once more, Ten turned his head to give his younger brothers one last look before dimming his eyes so as to not wake them. Shaking his head in amusement, he exited his room and made his way to the bathroom.

After tonight’s operation, a nice hot bath was what the older brother needed.

Notes:

I've been wanting to make a short fanfic about Ecks and Shun when it comes to sleep. In my works and ideas, the two usually fall asleep together whenever the stout member of the Extension Corps is tired. This, of course, only happens at night. Ecks is generally okay when it comes to napping alone during daylight hours. But that wouldn't stop him from being a cuddlebug if he was napping with someone either during the day.

This takes place before Zokket destroys the Uni-Tree.

Have a good day/night and God bless you!
