He wasn't intimate at the best of times.

Outside of sex,

obsolete.

An irritated sigh leaving his mouth

every time you would become clingy,

he would tell you to stop but

it wasn't like you ever listened.

"Can we watch a movie?"

You asked him at almost three am,

wide awake from too much sugar

and a need to stay up way past your bedtime.

"I'm tired baby girl"

He told you lowly.

"It's three in the morning.

Go to sleep"

"Can we cuddle?"

You breathed out.

"No"

He scoffed.

"It's too hot doll.

Another time hm?"

"But I won't be able to sleep"

You complained,

an irritated sigh leaving his mouth

as he opened his eyes.

"Hurry up"

He held his arm up for you as moved in closer,

burying your head into his chest.

"Quit complaining alright?

I don't wanna hear it"

"Mmm"

You moaned softly.

"You smell so good"

"Go to sleep baby"

He said it more firmly this time.

"What is that?"

You asked him curiously,

spotting something on the side table.

"Wait,

Is that gum?"

Rolling his eyes at your innocence,

he reached over the night stand,

pressing the gum into your hands.

"Don't fall asleep with it in ya mouth.

You'll choke"

"Yum"

You completely ignored him,

popping the pieces into your mouth

and chewing on them quietly.

"Did ya hear me?"

"Mhmm"

"Don't fall asleep with it"

"Okay daddy"
