A/N: This is taken from a tumblr prompt meme~ Enjoy!

1) Things you said at 1am

The wires winding on the floor, the monitors surrounding us – closing us in like a bright protective wing keeping us out of the dark – were silent. No hum, no buzz or steady thrumming originating from the back of your ears.

This had always fascinated me and I was musing over the why, chin resting on your shoulder, knees pressed against your waist, on your lap in your chair as you worked. The light scratch of pencil dominated the silence over our quiet combined breathing.

I was falling asleep, cocooned in your warmth and steady heartbeat when a soft voice resonated in the dark.

"Spend…all your time waiting…for a second chance, for a break that would make it okay. There´s always some reason to feel n-not g-um g-good…" You trailed off in an embarrassed silence when I shifted, having believe me to be already asleep.

I couldn´t help but smile and nudged you. "Continue."

"No."

"Come on," Trying not to sound pouty was hard, it usually made you relent but I was a grown man for heaven´s sake. "I like your voice. And I´ve never heard that song before."

You went back to your writing, scoffing. "Everyone´s heard of Sarah McLachlan."

"Not me~"

There was a pause. I knew you were considering it. I nuzzled into the crook of your neck and waited.

"I need some distraction, oh beautiful release. Memories seep from my veins."

There it was. I grinned triumphantly and felt you lightly whack me for doing so, but as you continued, I heard your smile.

Gradually the singing changed from something awkward to a soft lullaby. I closed my eyes again and went back to dozing, your voice fading slowly to a quiet, steady hum in the back of my mind.
