♡: Accidentally falling asleep together
He met her only once, years ago, but it was in a rush, and he ever saw her again until now.
The only seat left was beside her inside the bus, and he didn’t want to stand for the whole ride. He had the evening shift and it was four am; too too early for the sun to rise, but too late to be actually called night time.
He offered her a nod. Maybe she didn’t remember, and he thought it was best that she didn’t.
She smiled.
(She did.)
He sat next to her and the bus ride was silent. Somehow, he’s tempted to ask her how her boss was doing, but he might actually overstay his welcome by not asking how she was, in the first place.
(He didn’t.)
His eyelids start drooping and they snapped open when he felt her head on his shoulder, and there she was, fast asleep. Perhaps that was why she wasn’t speaking - he’d have pegged her for the talkative, bubbly type - and he made no move to push her away.
His body betrayed him; they were still a good twenty minutes away from the terminal where he’s headed home, and so he closed his eyes, leaning his head back on the head rest comfortable.
His sleep was warm, for once.
