Work Text:
It was over. After three days, the Grand Festival had come to a close and the Now or Never Seven stumbled back to their dressing room, awaiting the results in two hours with the same bated breath as everyone who was in the audience and battling on the turf. The idols wanted to come up with a grand plan to celebrate the occasion, but Callie was the one to make the perfect suggestion when she managed to fall asleep standing up. All of them agreed that a nap sounded amazing after performing for three days straight. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any furniture in the dressing room other than a stool at each of their vanities. So Big Man was on the floor, acting as a bed for all the other idols. He didn’t mind though, as being a bed was common for him when Deep Cut napped together.
Pearl and Marina were on his left fin, Pearl on top of Marina, face buried in the crook of her neck and arms tucked underneath her. Marina’s left arm was curled around Pearl’s back, her tentacles were curled around Pearl’s arms and her face pressed against Pearl’s head.
Marina’s right arm was being used as a pillow by Frye, who was curled up with Shiver in the middle of Big Man’s body. Foreheads pressed together right underneath Big Man’s smile, comforted by their familiar weight.
Marie was using Shiver’s side as a pillow, arms folded across her chest as she laid across Big Man’s right fin. Callie was sprawled out face down across Marie’s stomach, the accidental mastermind behind this plan.
The room was quiet and peaceful, outside of a few snores and the occasional sleep talking. In a couple hours they would be called back on stage to reveal the winners, the culmination of all the hard work put in in the past three days, but right now, it was time to rest.
