hey here’s a stray hc for something i’m writing but the hc won’t make it in the final draft. you know how sometimes when you dream, you twitch in your sleep? and how it it much more common with cats and dogs because you see them asleep far more often than humans?
anyways mysta and alban twitching often in their sleep. like DUDE. listen to me here. i’m onto something. i just skimmed a reddit thread where someone said their dog had dream feet
hear me out on this one. you’re in bed with mysta it’s late at night you were up doing something whatever that’s not important. but you know what is important? you enter the room and see mysta went to bed hours ago and is already deep asleep, so deep asleep that he’s already kicked half the covers off.
he’s sprawled out on his back, and his hair is already starting to become bedhead, and you feel the mattress sink in as you get yourself comfortable. his leg twitches! just a quick quirk to the side as you tuck yourself in.
then as you settle, another little twitch, and this time it spreads to the other side of his body for just a moment before it’s gone.
you smile. cutie. he looks so serene, but even when he’s asleep, he still has enough energy that he moves to his dreams.
five minutes later, as you begin to drift off, you hear shuffling on the other side of the bed. then pressure. mysta rolled over to his side in his sleep, and rested himself against you. he’s shivering, you realize, and his skin is bumpy as well. poor baby got too hot under the covers, but he’s too cold without them either.
you gently rub circles along his back, cupping him into a cuddle as you do so. mysta stays small in your embrace and the shared warmth gets him to stop shivering.
he stays there, though. you don’t have the heart to move your arm and send him into another chill either. so you drift off with your limbs tangled between him, and before you enter dreamland, you feel the twitch of his leg against yours.
OH OH OH OR. alban’s expecting an early morning tomorrow, so he fell asleep hours before your usual bedtime. he lays curled up like a shrimp, and as his chest rises and falls, his lips slightly part with steady breaths just short of a snore.
his hands are close to his chest and below his chin, but the palms are exposed through his loose fingers. they’re very pretty hands, usually hidden by gloves thick enough to hide identifying traits, so when they’re off (rare except for when he’s resting) you see gentle skin and smooth nails.
even when he rests, alban is catlike. his loosely curled fingertips end just above the joint where the finger itself starts, so almost all of his palm is outstretched.
like a paw pad, you muse, barely able to contain yourself from cooing and possibly waking him up. however, you can’t keep yourself together for long, and you reach a finger out to gently press on his palm like a button.
and just like a button, when you make contact, his fingers flutter.
entranced, you brush along the palm again, and another set of fingers waver while his eyes are closed in sleep.
it’s almost like a game. alban’s hands wind you down as you play with them, and observe how his fingers swirl along yours even in his sleep. he’s dexterous.
you spend too long fascinated by how they move even while the thief himself isn’t available, that when you feel the soft skin between fingers again, alban catches you by surprise as he runs his arm up and around you, without even waking up to aim. try as you might, you can’t dodge out of his grasp, and after all, why would you? he’s too adorable to ignore even when he’s asleep

AKA the obligatory patrick sickfic
Patrick reaches over to unlace his sneakers, but the blood rushes to his head and all he can do is grasp limply at his shoes and groan.
“Fuck,” he says with feeling.
Pete drops to his knees. “Here,” he says, replacing Patrick's hand with his own. He deftly unlaces Patrick’s neat bowknot, and gently slips the shoe off. Patrick’s bright blue, dog printed socks stare back at them.
Patrick’s lips flatten. “Don’t laugh.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Pete replies through a badly suppressed smile.

oddly enough i feel like i know more under 25's who are engaged/married then over 25's lol. but i think your whole 20's should be dedicated to finding out who you are rather than just your early 20's. and maybe 30's should be dedicated to marriage/children but even then it shouldn't be an expectation.
no I was gonna SAY… I think a lot of people on here don’t realize how popular it is to be engaged in my age range these days. My best friend’s sister actually just got engaged and she’s my age (21). Like are you guys living in my reality girls are doing shit like that all the time these days
