Ergrggghh I Actually Went To Bed At A Decent Time But Haven't Been Able To Sleep At All - Tumblr Posts

Ratchet x GN reader

Reader has sensory issues and can't sleep, so the reader goes to Ratchet instead.

It was 1 in the morning and you couldn't seem to get any rest. You were uncomfortably warm, your hair kept disgustingly touching your face, and the sheets were just... wrong. Too many feelings and too many things touching you all at once. It was too much.

You threw the sheets off of you angrily and sat up. You wanted to scream- but somehow you managed to refrain. Sighing, you got out of bed and headed towards Ratchet's room.

As you entered, Ratchet took notice of you and looked up from whatever he had been working on. "(y/n)? It's the middle of the night. Shouldn't you be sleeping?" He asked. "I tried," you snapped. You hadn't meant to sound so harsh, but it was difficult when frustration, discomfort, and exhaustion took over.

Immediately, Ratchet understood what was wrong. You often came to him when you were overwhelmed, and this time was no different. Setting down his tools, he made his way over to you. "The usual?" Ratchet asked.

You nodded. Ratchet reached his servo down to you, and you hopped on. He set you down on his desk and gently started combing your hair, wetting it with cool water and slicking it back to keep it out of your face.

Once he was done, you climbed back onto his servo. His metal was smooth and cool to the touch, the feeling of it being almost therapeutic. Your exhaustion finally caught up to you as you yawned and laid down in Ratchet's palm.

Ratchet sighed, looking down at you. "Well," he muttered to himself, "I guess a break wouldn't hurt." Dimming the room's lights, he sat down. With you safe in his servo, he leaned back comfortably in his chair and fell into recharge.
