**I semi-combined two requests. One wanted a Kankri x Reader, and someone wanted the same bUT WITH CUDDLES <3. SO yeah, not really combining, but combining. Enjoy!**

"Y/n, I kn9w y9u wish t9 cuddle right n9w, 6ut I am in the middle 9f a term paper and I must have it perfect f9r the teacher's and my 9wn sake."

 Kankri serenely smiles at the huffing girl. Humans, he had learned, are in major need of physical contact, and although he's not the biggest fan, Y/n needs human contact. As long as they list the triggers with each other, he's fine with hugging, cheek kisses, and snuggling up on the couch with Netflix.

"Kankri, I love you, but you've been writing this paper for three days without stopping."

 Y/n was concerned for the troll. He's renowned for his brain, but it won't help him if he doesn't get the rest he needs. It's not healthy to not have the sleep that you need. Of course, Y/n wouldn't mind having cuddles with him as an added bonus. 

"Y/n, I kn9w this is 9nly t9 get human c9ntact, and it's n9t w9rking." 

He chuckles lightly, and finished a sentence. The paper was due tomorrow and he's edited it at least five times. It will be difficult to not get an A. Y/n crosses her arms and frowns at the boy. He once passed out in class from lack of sleep then proceeded with a panic attack because he missed the lesson. He can't have that again, he might faint from panic!

"Trigger warnings: physical contact, pleading words, persuasion." The girl looped her arms around her boyfriend's shoulders and laid her head on him. "You need sleep," She says in a sooting, calm voice. "You need to rest to present your essay and to get a good participation score. You need to calm your brain and make sure your body is healthy as well as your studious appetite." She kissed Kankri's neck softly, he could feel it through his red turtleneck. He sighed in defeat, her voice calming him down.

"Y9u win, Y/n. 6ut, I'm g9ing 6ack t9 writing after this." He says in a mock-scolding voice. Y/n smiles and they sit in their shared bed. Kankri weaves his fingers through Y/n's hair, massaging her scalp. Y/n's face was in his turtleneck, inhaling the scent of lavender and cherry. Small circles were traced on Kankri's back, making him relax from the stress on his mind. His breath slowed as well as Y/n's, the couple slowly falling asleep with their legs and arms tangled around each other.

"Y/n I am very mad at y9u." Kankri was furious with her soft touch. She couldn't help it either, she thought he needed it. He began rambling at the triggers of not waking him up or making him finish editing his essay (for the sixth time, mind you). Y/n lazily smiled and put a finger over the cancer's running mouth. 

"What score did you get?"

"... I g9t a ninety eight percent."

"And you didn't fall asleep in class?"

".. N9."

"You realize rest can help you. Now, let me cuddle you again!"

Kankri sighs but accepts the hug from Y/n. He smiles softly and kisses her head lightly.

Maybe sleep is the best option.
