Drabble: Modes of Sleep

Title: Modes of Sleep
Author: Kez
Rating: FRC
Character(s): Nick Cutter/Stephen Hart
Genre: Slash
Challenge: 201 - Sleep



Cutter has three 'modes' of sleep.

Normal sleep. He snuffles, occasionally snores, but not loudly and it's sort of adorable, not that Stephen would ever say that aloud.

Heavy sleep. After heavy drinking. A really rough day. Or both. He snores louder and it often keeps Stephen awake for hours.

Restless sleep. It usually comes with nightmares. Sometimes with tears. For Cutter's sake Stephen pretends to sleep through them.

Stephen keeps track. Sees when there are more nights falling into the last two categories than the first and drags Cutter off for the weekend.

Most of the time, it helps.
