"A Peaceful Night's Sleep"

Yoongi woke to find Julie sitting on the floor by the couch, her back against the armrest and her eyes closed. He rubbed his eyes, trying to shake off the sleep, and then looked at Julie again. She was still sitting there, her face serene and peaceful. As he sat up, Julie's eyes fluttered open, and she smiled at him. "Hey," she said softly. Yoongi yawned and stretched, his arms arching over his head. "What are you doing on the floor?" he asked, his voice husky from sleep. Julie shrugged, her shoulders barely rising off the floor. "I didn't wanna wake you up," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Yoongi's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. "How about tonight?" he suggested. "You sleep with me in my room. Won't you be more comfortable?" Julie's eyes searched his face, and then she nodded slowly. "I know I will," she said, a small smile playing on her lips. Yoongi's smile grew wider, and he held out his hand to help Julie up. "Come on," he said, his voice gentle. "Let's get you to bed." Julie took his hand, and he pulled her up, her body swaying slightly as she stood. Yoongi's arms wrapped around her, holding her close as he stood up. As they walked out of the living room together, the darkness outside seemed to recede, and the silence of the house was no longer oppressive. They walked down the hallway, the soft carpet muffling their footsteps. When they reached Yoongi's room, Julie hesitated, her hand on the doorknob. Yoongi's eyes met hers, and he smiled reassuringly. "It's okay," he said. "You're safe with me." Julie smiled back, and then she pushed open the door, stepping inside. The room was dimly lit, the only light coming from the moon outside. Yoongi's bed was a haven of white sheets and soft blankets, inviting and warm. Julie climbed into bed, and Yoongi followed, his body curling around hers as they settled in. He pulled her close, his arms wrapping around her, holding her tight. As they lay there, the world outside seemed to melt away, and all that was left was the two of them, wrapped in a cocoon of peace and quiet. Yoongi's breathing slowed, and Julie's body relaxed, her heart beating in time with his. In that moment, everything felt right with the world.
