Lamia Helps You Fall Asleep

Lamia Helps You Fall Asleep by SilentThyzer



(Whisper/Snake Hiss) Pssst...pssst...Hey...

(Shivering) Oh, I’m s-sorry to bother you. I know it’s late, but I’m f-f-f-freezing. My c-c-covers aren’t keeping me warm enough and I can’t s-s-sleep.
Do you think I could s-snuggle up with you, at least until I h-heat up?
I can? W-wonderful!
Scoot on over so I can j-join you.

(She climbs into the bed)

Give me a second so I can wrap my tail around you.

(She gives a long, relaxed sigh)

Ah, that feels so much better. You humans are always so soft and warm. Oh, what I’d give to be warm blooded.

(Pause)

Lucky you weren’t asleep yet, I would’ve felt awful if I had to wake you up.
What are you doing awake by the way? It’s awfully late, I’d have thought you’d be asleep by now.

You can’t sleep either, huh? Well that’s ok, maybe we can help each other fall asleep?
You can heat me up and I caaaannn...

Hmm, I’m not quite sure what helps humans fall asleep. I could try telling you a really boring story? Or I could get you a glass of warm milk? But that would mean getting out of bed again...

How about some breathing exercises? I’ve heard they’re a great way for humans to relax and go all mellow.
I’ll talk you through it.

So, we’ll start by getting comfortable. Cuddle up closer to me.

(She shifts around in the bed)

I hope you don’t mind if I squeeze my tail around you a little tighter, I won’t constrict your airway. Trust me.

(Joking) Pssh, you won’t die! Besides, you wouldn’t be able to keep me warm if you were a cold corpse.

(Pause)

Ok, bad joke. Sorry.

Anyway, we put our arms around each other. Like...this.

(She starts speaking very soft and slow)

And we hold each other close.
Mmm, your forehead’s nice and warm.

Now we breathe in.

(She takes a long, slow breath through her nose)

And breathe out.

(She exhales from her mouth)

And again, breathe in.

(She inhales)

Breathe out.

(She exhales)

That’s good.
One more time, breathe in.

(She inhales)

And out.

(She exhales)

Feel my soft coils gently wrap around your legs. I hope it doesn’t feel too weird, I know a lot of humans aren’t very fond of snakes and wouldn’t even think of cuddling one.
You don’t mind? Well good, you make such a nice heat pack, I don’t wanna let go.

(She giggles and tightens her grip before letting out a small moan)

Let every muscle in your body relax as you sink into the mattress.
Feel how tightly snuggled up we are under the cosy covers. Our bodies combining into one big, cuddly bed-burrito.
Yeah, I’m like the tortilla and you’re the meat’n’beans.

(She yawns)

Goodness, I’m making myself tired...and hungry.

Maybe we can make some burritos tomorrow.
We’ll go out and buy some ingredients. Then you can show me how humans prepare their food.
As long as you don’t mind being seen in public with a snake-girl.

(Happy) Oh, wonderful. It’s so refreshing for a human to enjoy my company.
It makes me less ashamed of my...extra bits.

Mmm, I could lie like this forever. There’s no place I’d rather be, but here.
My tail wrapped around you, absorbing your heat. Slowly falling asleep in each other’s arms.

(She yawns)

(Sleepy) I don’t know about you, but I’m reeeeaaallly sleepy now.

Goodnight, see you in the morning.

(She sighs before falling asleep)

(30 seconds or more of quiet breathing)

End.
