Pierrot rolled over onto his side, nuzzling his face into Casey’s neck, breathing in his comforting scent.
Casey, who had been unable to fall asleep all night, chuckled quietly, running his spare hand along Pierrot’s stomach.
Harlequin huffed in his sleep, clinging tighter to Casey’s side and pressing against him as if the human would be stolen away from him if he let go.
Casey gently stroked Harlequin’s hair, shushing him. “Shh, I’m right here, you silly thing, I’m here…”
Pierrot let out a little whine, his eyes fluttering open slowly. “My lord?”
“Go back to sleep, it’s early,” Casey’s hand moved from Pierrot’s stomach to his cheek, gently stroking the soft skin.
“It’s too uncomfortable…” Pierrot whined, a hand coming to rest on his stomach. “I can’t sleep…”
Casey pulled Pierrot closer, his hand moving to gently scratch at Pierrot’s scalp. The monster purred and leaned into his touch.
“Just try to sleep, okay? You’ll feel better if you get some sleep.”
Pierrot nodded, burying his face into Casey’s chest with a soft huff.
“Caseyy…” Harlequin mumbled. “Want…”
“What do you want, Harly?”
Harlequin nuzzled into the crook of Casey’s neck. “I want food…”
“I'll get you something then. Are you hungry too, my Pierrot?”
Pierrot nodded. “Want some juice.”
“What kind?”
“Apple… or orange.”
“And you, Harlequin? What do you want to eat?”
“. . . Bread, and some apple juice too.”
“Just bread? Nothing on it?”
“. . . Butter.”
Casey sighed. “You are both so odd with your cravings.”
“Oh, can I have some ham?” Pierrot looked up at Casey.
“Sure, baby.”
The two monsters let Casey go so he could retrieve their food, whining in the process but letting go without issue.
When Casey returned to the nest a minute later, Pierrot was already starting to doze off, and Harlequin seemed close behind.
Casey shook them both awake. “I've got your food, my loves.”
Harlequin sat up immediately. “Gimme, gimme.”
Pierrot also sat up, rubbing his eyes. “Food?”
Casey nodded, handing the monsters their food and setting the cups of juice on the nightstand. Harlequin smiled for once and happily ate, Pierrot took a few seconds to recognize the objects as food before he devoured them.
Harlequin looked up when he was done, licking the crumbs from his lips. “Casey, darling, can you come back and cuddle us?”
Casey smiled and nodded softly.
Both of his lovers cuddled back up to him when he crawled back into the little blanket nest on top of their bed.
Casey rested a hand on Pierrot's stomach, his other coming to wrap around Harlequin’s shoulder.
Harlequin looked up at the human once he'd finished his snack, leaning up to press a kiss to Casey’s cheek before burying his face in his neck and purring.
Pierrot huffed, wrapping both of his arms around Casey and snuggling into his chest, his glass of juice momentarily forgotten in favor of stealing Casey's attention away from Harley.
Casey laughed softly at the sight of his two possessive monsters, kissing both of their foreheads before leaning back into the pillow to finally let sleep claim him.
