- -Anon-
- >You are lying in bed trying to sleep.
- >As comfortable as your bed is, you are finding it hard to fall and stay asleep.
- >When you were younger you could fall asleep anytime or anyplace.
- >Your mother liked to remind you of when you drifted off next to her and slept through an entire Summer Sun Celebration.
- >Once you were asleep back then, you were out.
- >Not even the Royal Canterlot voice could wake you at that point.
- >Now however, you were woken by the smallest noise.
- >Maybe it’s because you grew up.
- >Or maybe it was because of all those years you spent on earth that your mother said “Stole your innocence.”
- >You are finally about to drift off when you hear something enter your room.
- >You roll over in bed to face the door and sit up.
- >The intruder freezes, realizing they were caught.
- >You recognize that form.
- “Mom…”
- >You say groggily.
- “It’s the middle of the night. Is everything alright?”
- >”Of course it is. I just couldn’t sleep, so I decided to come and see if you were alright or needed anything.”
- >She says.
- >You can’t help but smile at that.
- >She has come in every night to check on you since your return.
- >Probably to make sure you don’t disappear again.
- “I’m fine mom, don’t worry about me. I’m more worried about you.”
- >She starts walking closer to the bed.
- >”Me? Why in Equestria would you be worried about me my little ray of sunshine?”
- “Well, a couple reasons actually. Number one, you’re my mom and I’m allowed to worry about you. Two, because you need to be up in a few hours and raise the sun. Three, you’ve been coming in here every night since I’ve been back to check on me, I’m just afraid you aren’t getting enough sleep.”
- >You tell her as you count off each reason with one of your fingers.
- >She has an odd look on her face.
- >She must think it’s odd for you to worry about her.
- >”It’s sweet that you’re worried about me my little prince. However, a little lack of sleep will not affect me that much.”
- >She says trying to silence your worries.
- >It might have worked too, if she hadn’t started to yawn at that exact moment.
- >You couldn’t hold back the laugh that escapes your lips if you tried.
- >This earns a pout from her.
- “I’m sorry, but if that doesn’t prove my point I don’t know what will.”
- >”You don’t have to worry about me Anon. I’m going to go right back to bed once I leave here.”
- >She says again trying to reassure you.
- >You actually believed her, at least the first few times you heard it anyway.
- >She would come back again like she always did and then neither one of you would get any sleep.
- >You had to find a way for both of you to get some shut eye.
- >Time for some strategy.
- >She has already turned and is starting to leave.
- “You know mom, there might be something you can do for me.”
- >”Yes?”
- >She says a little overly enthusiastic.
- “Well…”
- >You rub the back of your neck with your hand, you didn’t think it would really be this embarrassing to say.
- “I’ve been having these nightmares for a while. And, so I was just wondering if you could maybe stay with me tonight.”
- >Her eyes seem to light up.
- “I mean, the bed is big enough if you want to lay down and even sleep next to me. I know I’m probably too old-“
- >You are cut off by her nearly jumping onto your bed.
- >”Oh nonsense sweetheart. If you’re old enough to have nightmares, then you’re still old enough for your mother to take care of you.”
- >You are more than a little embarrassed at this point as she even uses her magic to tuck you in.
- >But a little embarrassment will be well worth it if you both can get a little sleep.
- >”And don’t worry, I’ll speak to your Aunt Luna in the morning about your nightmare.”
- >She says as she gets under the covers as well.
- >A wave of nostalgia comes over you as you remember this is exactly what she did when you really did have a nightmare.
- >You are about to tell her not to bother Aunt Luna when you hear soft snoring coming from her.
- >She probably fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.
- >She must have been exhausted.
- >You’re glad your little ruse worked.
- >You close your eyes and try to ready yourself for sleep to take you as well.
- >Suddenly your body is enveloped in a yellow aura and you are pulled tight against her chest.
- >Fuck.
- >You forgot that your mother sometimes did magic in her sleep.
- >She hugs you and seems to be blissfully unaware that she is doing any of this.
- >You start to struggle to get free from her grasp.
- >”It’s okay… Mommy’s here…”
- >She said almost slurring her words, clearly still asleep.
- >You stop trying to struggle and just accept it.
- >Her scent fills your nostrils.
- >You almost completely forgot it after so long away.
- >It is the same as when you were younger and slept like this.
- >You would have given anything to be like this when you were back on earth.
- >You fall asleep faster than you have in years.
- >Enjoying a deep relaxing uninterrupted slumber.
- >Today was a good day.
