The shit your girlfriend thinks about at 3 AM

You can feel somebody joining you on the bed, the way the sheets slightly shift, your body sensing the movement of the mattress to then feeling the soft skin pressed up against yours.

Open your eyes, its your girlfriend, its not hard to recognise her even in the darkness, the smile you can see on her face signals that the movie night with her friends was a success, so close your eyes and try to fall asleep once again.

“Can't sleep?” She whispers.

A small chuckle escapes you, “yeah”

“Good, i need to ask you something”

“Cant this wait for tommorow nabi? It’s so late” You ask, your hands instinctively wrap around her body to embrace her.

She shakes her hands while she turns her face to look at you, even at pitch black you can see the glint in her eyes. “i will already forget it by tommorow and then be sad for the whole day”

Remembering the last time your girlfriend was in a bad mood for the whole day (she tried to play valorant to ease her mind but ended up so tilted that by night, you had to sleep on the couch because she was punching the pillow, cursing quietly about every stupid mistake her team made), you take a deep sigh and open your eyes once again. “Okay, what's on your mind?”

“Do you think aliens exist?”

Blink once, twice, its 3 AM, you wanted to sleep after an exhausting day at work and the only keeping you of a sane sleep schedule is your girlfriend's curiosity resembling a 10 year old.

“…good night” you turn around, closing your eyes to continue your sleep but Yuna is already pulling you back to face her.

“Noooo, dont sleep yet” she whine

“This absolutely can wait for tommorow, where does this come from?” You ask her

“We watched the Super mario galaxy movie, and it got me thinking about life in space” she explains, “i wonder how do they look like"

“I doubt aliens actually exist” you comment, you can sense how Yuna’s expression turns sad, having her curiosity dismissed so effortlessly.

You take a deep sigh, you remember how shit the couch is to sleep on.

“BUT, assuming they do in fact exist, i have a feeling they would like classic aliens, you know… green, skinny, talking a weird language, what about you?”

“I personally think they look like the Lumas from the mario movie” you can hear the quiet excitement back in her voice.

“How do they look like?”

“They are like star shaped, with vibrant colors and oh! They are super soft, i bet hugging them will feel so good” she exclaims

“Sounds cute” you respond, still quite tired

“The are, and their mother rosalina? She’s so cool” and the she continues to talk, wondering if they will come to earth on the comet observatory, and will they enjoy the culture of earth? What about the dishes? The locations?

Her voice becomes background noise as all of your focus shifts onto her smile, the way her cheeks puff out while she talks, and the way her eyes seem to sparkle every time she makes eye contact with you, at this point you cant help but lean in and leave a kiss on her soft lips.

She pauses, her cheeks full of blush, stars begin to form im her eyes, and her expression? Surprised to the point you cant help but laugh as your hand find hers, interlacing your fingers while the other hands moves her body so she now lays on top of you.

A smile forms on her face once again, “did you just kiss me?”

“Yep, and i will if you are going to ruin my sleep schedule with your yapping” you respond, responding to her smile with one of your own

“Is that a challange?”

“I dont know, is it?”

And she starts giggling, smiling at you the same way she did when you first fell in love with her all those years ago

“So as i was saying…”

And you kiss her again, and again, another one to her forehead this time, then the nose, and then each cheek.

Because whats a couple hours of sleep compared to the yapping of the love of your life?
