~ Medic's POV ~

I opened my eyes to the mother-of-pearl sheen of grey given to the infirmary by the pre-dawn light. How did that poem go? Stasis in darkness - then the substanceless blue, pour of tor and distances. Many saw Sylvia Plath as a depressing poet, but I found many of her lines quite fitting.

My gaze slid from the pristine whitewashed walls to the work of art in front of me. Even cramped as she was between my body and the wall, she looked comfortable, like a kitten curled into a too-small box. The pre-dawn light gleamed on the surface of her skin and hair and seemed to soften the battle-worn lines of her nose, cheekbones and lips.

Her h/c hair loosely tousled over one eye and tickled my forehead, and one of her fists had de-clenched into a loose grasp of my undershirt. Deep in sleep, her movements sought a comfort she'd never voice in an awakened state.

And I loved her for it.

With an unconscious grumble, only slightly louder than a kitten's purr, she stretched her back and pulled her arms closer to her chest. She sleepily opened one eye, then the other, then closed them both with a huff. "What time is it?" She grumbled tiredly.

I turned on my back with a quiet chuckle, reaching for my discarded coat and taking the pocket watch from an inside pocket. "Quarter to five," I whispered. "But it's Sunday. Training's not until ten."

Y/n sighed, eyes still closed, and snuggled closer to my chest. "I'm awake nowww," she complained, too sleepy to not be adorable, and too adorable to be taken seriously. I chuckled once more and slowly stroked her hair, twirling the h/c strands gently through my fingers. "Then go back to sleep, fraulein," I murmured, kissing her lightly on the forehead.

My eyes drifted closed too, for a blessed few more hours of sleep.

Abbreviations:

y/n = your name (you guessed it)
h/c = hair colour
