Y/N often loses track of time when she's inventing, especially when she's hit by a wave of inspiration. She skips meals, forgets sleep, and usually ends up knocked out cold right at her workstation.
Rudy has developed an instinct for it. The moment the sun goes down and she's not in her room? He knows she's in the lab.
She always falls asleep in the most uncomfortable positions-slumped over blueprints, curled in a stool, or even passed out under a workbench.
She wears her casual inventor outfit: a loose tank/singlet, loose joggers, bunny slippers, and a custom visor. Hair in a messy bun or just loose and wild.
The first few times he panicked and tried to wake her up gently, but now he's used to it. Instead, he lets her rest and just takes care of her in quiet ways.
He always brings her a jacket to drape over her shoulders (usually his own), adjusts her visor so it doesn't dig into her forehead, and puts a sticky note near her face (or stick it on her forehead when he's feeling mischievous : "Next time, tidur awal sikit, please."
Rudy keeps a mini care kit in the lab just for Chloe: snacks, heat packs, warm socks, chocolate bars and electrolyte drinks.
If she's drooling or has smudges on her face, he uses a soft cloth to wipe them gently without waking her.Sometimes he uses his own fingers to wipe it off.
He doesn't mind sitting next to her for hours, guarding her like a quiet sentinel until she wakes up.
She never remembers falling asleep but always wakes up wrapped in Rudy's jacket with her favorite blanket on top and a cup of hot chocolate waiting.
She teases him lightly about it but gets flustered when he simply says: "Someone's gotta look after you, kan?"
Sometimes, Rudy catches himself just watching her sleep. He never says anything, but Y/N swears she always wakes up feeling safer after those unspoken moments.
If she stirs in her sleep, he instinctively hushes her and brushes her bangs back, whispering softly: "I'm here, sayang. Rehat je dulu."
♡♡♡
The lab was dimly lit with a soft blue glow from various consoles and unfinished gadgets strewn across the workbenches. The faint hum of machinery was the only sound accompanying Rudy as he stepped into the room, holding a thermos of hot chocolate he brought for Y/N.
He had a feeling she'd still be up working-again.
But what greeted him instead was something that tugged at his chest.
There she was-Y/N-curled up on her stool, head resting on her crossed arms, visor tilted halfway off her head, soft pink hair messily falling over her face. A few light snoring sounds slipped from her slightly parted lips, and a glowing hologram of an unfinished schematic flickered beside her. She wore her usual inventor outfit: a loose tank top, baggy joggers , and grease marks smudged faintly on her cheek.
Rudy froze for a moment, just watching.
"She really pushed herself again," he thought, lips pressing into a thin line.
He placed the thermos down quietly and walked closer. Without a word, he shrugged off his jacket and gently draped it over her shoulders. She stirred slightly but didn't wake.
Rudy kneeled beside her stool, brushing a lock of hair from her cheek. His voice came out in a low whisper, barely audible.
"Y/N... You need to stop doing this to yourself."
For a moment, he debated waking her up, but instead, he sighed and leaned his back against the workbench next to her.
Pulling out his phone, he typed something into her reminder app:
"You don't have to do everything alone, tau? Let me help sometimes.
- Ru-chan."
Then, with a soft, amused smile, he sat quietly beside her - guarding her like a loyal wolf beside his sleeping bunny.Eventually,he fell asleep beside her.
