Connie yawned as she sat at her laptop. Eyes drooping as she typed in the data for LHW RD latest experiment. She shook her head to keep focus. She wasn't behind per say, but she had a good flow going on and she didn't want to lose it. She took a quick moment to stretch, cracking her hands and back. Smacking her tongue  against her mouth, she turned to the clock. 2:30AM.

"I've worked later." She argued with herself. As she was about to begin again, her phone vibrated, a message.

"If it's Peri, I swear to Shiva, I'm gonna poof her."

Connie reached for the phone and opened it. 

A smirk came to her face when she saw it was from her Mister.

"Back on earth..🥱 Tired."

Connie  typed back instantly despite  yawning.

"WB Mister. How'd it go?"

"Slow ..for a diamond visit. Nothing big happened...but nothing big really does in this era."

"Missing the wild days of the past?😆"

"Only thing I'm missing is a bed. Yours empty ..Give me yours."

Connie scoffed at the message "How do you know that? I could've been sleeping all this time."

"You're definitely not...Why aren't you sleeping? it's 2:35 am."

She pursed her lips in defiance. "If you know that much, you know why I'm up. Burning the midnight oil."

"🤬"

"Rude, Mister." She released an impish laugh.

"I'm coming over. You're at your Little Homeworld residence?"

"Yes..Wait, are you really coming? Steven no.. stay home and get some sleep"

She didn't get a response from him, but  a few minutes later heard the downstairs door unlocking, opening, closing and locking again.

"Well, that explains the no text." She joked fighting another yawn as she heard the sound of boiling hot water being discharged into a cup.

She turned back to her computer ready to begin typing again when a cup was placed beside her laptop. She took a sip and growled.

"Chamomile.. You have some nerve, trying to make me doze off."

She turned around and quickly turned red.

While it wasn't the first time she saw him in this state of undress. it has been a bit of time pass and he stripped to his boxers so suddenly.

"Hurry up, save your work  and drink that tea. So we can sleep."

His voice was so groggy and exhausted,  his eyes had opened and he looked like he was just hanging on to consciousness 

'My poor Mister.' Connie thought as she  complied with his commands, in playful defeat. She took her time turning off the laptop and sipping her tea sitting crossed leg  in her swivel chair. She turned to him, attending to make him blush at the sight of her undergarments under his loose fitting turtleneck, that she was snuggled  with. 

Only to see him sitting up, eyes closed and drooling a bit. 

Connie didn't hesitate to take a picture and make it her new background pic. "Swooon!, so adorable."  Closing the phone, she got up from her seat and walked over to her sleeping hybrid of a man, stroking his locks and caressing  his whiskers cheeks and chin. 

"Ok Mister, you win." She said to herself as she laid him down. She laid down right beside him, head on his  heart, legs around his thigh. She smiled at the thumping in her ear. letting it ease her to sleep, the last thing she remembered was him holding her around her hips and waist, The feel of his lips kissing her crown and him calling her his 'sweet Heartberry.'

She hadn't slept so blissfully in weeks.
