Oneshot
Sleep
Another late night. These weren’t uncommon to anybody in the castle, much less the Voltron Force, and especially not to Pidge. No matter the reason, it wasn’t surprising to see him awake past midnight. What was surprising, however, was him working while in bed.
Anya woke up from a light sleep, hearing Pidge shift as he tried to find a comfy position again after sitting in the same one for so long.
“Pidge?” she whispered, “I thought you’d be in the control room working”
Pidge put away the screen, finished with his assignment, “Keith let me finish the rest of my work on my data pad, so here I am, next to you.”
Anya smiled softly, "That’s good, cuddle me?"
Taking off his glasses and putting them on the night stand next to him, Pidge laid down and pulled her close to his chest. He took a deep breath, letting the jasmine scent of her shampoo relax him as it quietly reminded him of the few ways he could smell flowers without setting off his pollen allergy.
Sleep came to neither of them as they laid together, listening to their synchronized breathing and feeling the weight of each other's limbs. They didn't try speaking for what seemed like hours, until Pidge took a breath in,
"I love you..."
Anya sleepily looked up at him, staying silent so he’d continue,
"I just thought you should know," he said, shifting to look at her better, "It feels better being next to you than being awake with only 3 hours of sleep."
She let out a breathy laugh, "Well I sure hope so, barely sleeping is never fun sweetness."
Anya curled back into Pidge and snuggled closer to him, a silent way to tell him she loved him too. Pidge wanted to say more, but instead held her close and finally drifted into a content and much needed sleep.
