Scarlett Johansson Imagines (gxg)

she wakes you for cuddles

Scarlett let out a long sigh as she rolled onto her back yet again. It's nearing three am now and she can't seem to fall asleep no matter what she does, leaving her feeling frustrated and annoyed.

She had a busy day today. With so much on her plate, she's almost always on her feet these days. That, along with her lack of sleep, had worn her out and she thought she'd rest well tonight, especially since she's got nowhere to be tomorrow.

However, she's lied awake from the moment you came up to bed. You offered to stay up with her but she could tell you were much too tired to do that and she let you sleep. You were so tired you didn't even protest about it and you haven't woken up once in those three hours.

She felt you shift around beside her but you didn't wake up. She stared up at the ceiling and then took a deep breath before closing her eyes to try to sleep yet again.

She tried counting sheep and then laying still for several minutes. But she continued to lay awake and she groaned heavily before running her hand over her face in frustration.

She dreaded the thought of waking you. But part o her wondered if you'd be able to help cure her annoyance and her restlessness. Whether it be from the comfort of your voice or the brush of your hand. She just wanted to feel better, feel less frustrated, and maybe even fall asleep.

She reached out for you and gently placed her hand on your back. You let out a few soft sounds from her touch and her heart melted a little. She gently shook you awake and she couldn't help but smile when she heard your cute sleepy voice.

"Scarlett? What is it?"

"I'm sorry for waking you. I can't sleep." She explained, mumbling her response and trying not to feel guilty for waking you.

"Oh." You mumbled sleepily and rubbed the sleep from your eyes. "What do you need me to do?'

"Maybe just cuddle with me? I don't know if it'll help me sleep or not but I could use the comfort."

You nodded and happily moved into her arms, laying your head on her chest and listened to the beat of her heart.

She's been letting out heavy and long sighs and groans before. But now, as she wrapped her arms around you and held you tight and felt the comfort of your warmth, she couldn't help but sigh contentedly.

"I love you." She whispered. "I really am sorry I woke you. I know you're tired."

"It's okay. I'd do anything for you." You whispered in return. "Besides, I feel better with you holding me. Warmer and happier. I'll be sleeping soundly, for sure. Will you?"

She shrugged her shoulders, feeling unsure. She was about to tell you to simply go back to sleep and she'd be alright.

But before she could say anything, she felt your fingers brush along her back and you hummed.

Although you were tired, she is, too. You want her to sleep well and you know how to help soothe her to sleep.

"I love you." You said as you intertwined your legs with hers and continued to rub her back soothingly, hoping she'd start to sleep soundly.

And she could only melt. She felt her eyes slip shut, so relaxed and content that she actually felt sleepy.

"Love you." She whispered.

"I love you too." You smiled and pressed a kiss to her neck before you continued to rub her back and waited for her to drift off to sleep.

It only took a couple more minutes until she was snoring softly. You giggled happily, finding it absolutely adorable. You kissed her neck once more before you allowed yourself to fall asleep, soon.

"Goodnight, Scarlett. Sweet dreams. I love you so much."
