#sometimes i get the urge to write about aro moods late at night for no discernable reason

"omg there was only one bed" and if the bed-sharing was familial? if it was platonic?

what about going to a parental figure's room after a nightmare and being comforted late at night?

what about found families cuddling on the couch under lots of blankets?

what about friends showing up at obscene hours of night to crash at their house because it's a safe place for them?

what about siblings sleeping on bunk beds or in separate rooms but end up sharing one bed anyway because they need to know that the other one is safe after a traumatic experience and their other siblings wake up before them and take pictures of them cuddling to tease them later?

what about reluctant found families or reluctant friend groups having to share a bed and as they drift off to sleep, surrounded by these people who they didn't want to get close to but ended up not only caring about, but trusting and relying on, coming to the realization that they would do anything for them???

what about platonic intimacy and being able to rest and rely on your loved ones because you trust them? what about that? huh???

#sometimes i get the urge to write about aro moods late at night for no discernable reason #i needed to get this out of my system #i just.... love the found family trope so freaking much *sniffles* #i was thinking about my ocs and then i got hit with feels #both sentimental for platonic relationships and indignant righteous fury towards amatonormativity #epilogue speaks #aromantic #aro #writing #tropes #aspec
