Script Below:

​

\The inside of Narrator and Listener’s home is quiet, peaceful, in the cold of the winter night. However, the bustling city outside disrupts this peace, waking Listener from their much needed sleep. As they blink tiredly, trying to fall back to sleep, they hear an exhausted sigh as the sheets rustle.**

\Tired, groggy** “Hm…? Oh, hey honey. Are you awake?”

(Pause)

“Mm. I didn’t wake you up, did I?”

\Narrator chuckles softly.**

“Good. I was worried that my grumbling woke you up.”

(Pause)

“Oh, yeah, the traffic is definitely…”

\Narrator yawns.**

“Definitely too loud. Wayyy too loud.”

(Pause)

“Mhm. I can usually sleep through it. But all the lights are so bright that I can even see them through the curtains, and there’s no position where they aren’t shining in my eyes and making it impossible to sleep.”

(Pause)

“Nope, I already tried that. Either I face the window and stare directly at the lights, or I roll over and face the mirror, and the reflection of the lights tries to burn my eyes right out of my head. It’s a lose-lose situation.”

(Pause)

“It’s definitely part of the problem. Though I always have a hard time sleeping well during the holidays because it gets so busy and stressful. It’s the most exhausting time of the year, and yet, even now that the holidays are almost over, I still can’t sleep.”

\Narrator chuckles softly.**

“But at least we’re through the worst of it now. All the busiest parts are done, and we don’t have to worry about them anymore. No more crowded gatherings, no more taking uncomfortable pictures for social media, no more awkward conversations with people we barely know. It’s gonna be a lot easier from now on.”

(Pause)

“Hm? Oh, I was saying that to reassure myself, actually. But I’m glad it helped you, too.”

\Narrator laughs.**

“No, but seriously. I’m glad we’re all done with like, the big holiday stuff. It was fun and everything, but it has me feeling completely drained and with a non-existent social battery.”

(Pause)

\Amused, laughing** “Awww, honeyyy, don’t pout at me like that! You know I always have enough energy for you.”

(Pause)

“Noooo! Honey, c’moooon! Don’t roll over!”

(Pause)

“Honeyyyy! Come baaaack! I promise, I wasn’t talking about you.”

(Pause)

“Of course not. You’re the love of my life; I’ll always have more than enough energy for you. I have like, an entirely different energy supply for you, and it never runs out because I love you so much.”

(Pause)

“Nope. It's a love battery, and love batteries never run out of love. They’re like uh… What’s the word… Oh, they’re eternal. That’s what I wanted to say.”

(Pause)

“That’s exactly what I’m saying. My love for you is eternal, and I’ll always be happy to be around you. Because you’re my honey. Was that romantic enough to get you to turn around?”

(Pause)

“Yayyy, thank you honey, Now c’mere, let me give you a kiss.”

\Narrator playfully kisses Listener several times, giggling while doing so.**

“Mm, see? The love battery is very full right now. Hell, it’s even overflowing, I’d say.”

\Narrator laughs before kissing Listener a few more times.**

\Loving, tender** “But honestly, the best part of the holidays being done is that I get to have you all to myself again.”

(Pause)

“Mhm. We have barely gotten to spend time together besides when we go to bed. It’s been torture spending our days running around and trying to get stuff done. I just kept hoping we’d finally have a calm moment to spend together, but everything was so busy that we never did. Now that we’re done with all of that, you’re alllll mine for the night, honey. And since we both have tomorrow off, you’re gonna be mine all day, too.”

(Pause)

“Of course. Whatever you want to do, we’ll do it. Though I’d definitely prefer it if it was something that didn’t require leaving the house; it’s too cold, and I don’t want to put on actual clothes when we could just spend the day in pajamas.”

(Pause)

“A marathon, huh? That sounds good. What show were you thinking of?”

(Pause)

“Oh, that’s perfect! I haven’t watched it in so long, it would be perfect for a marathon! And we should still have some leftovers in the fridge, so we won’t have to worry about making something. We’ll be good to just watch TV and cuddle and kiss all day long.”

(Pause)

“Well of course there’s gonna be kissing. I haven’t had the chance to kiss you under any mistletoe yet, so you better bet that I bought some on my way home last night, and I’m gonna hang it up everywhere so I get to kiss you as much as possible.”

(Pause)

“Oh, please. I could never get tired of kissing you.”

(Pause)

“Nope, never. Because your my honey, and that means that you’re as sweet-”

\Narrator kisses Listener.**

“As-”

\Narrator kisses Lister.**

“Honey.”

\Narrator kisses Listener before laughing. Their laughter is abruptly cut off when Listener kisses them a few times in return. Afterwards, Narrator sighs happily.**

\Gentle, soft** “God, I really did miss this. I missed getting to have these nice, quiet moments with just the two of us. There’s nowhere else I’d rather be right now than right here beside you.”

\A car horn blares loudly from somewhere nearby and Narrator chuckles tiredly.**

“Well, maybe I’d rather be somewhere quieter, and less busy. But only if I get to bring you along with me.”

\Listener kisses Narrator a couple times.**

“Mm, thank you, honey. Now c’mere, let me cuddle up with you. You know that’s how I always sleep best.”

\The sheets rustle as Narrator snuggles up to Listener. Narrator yawns as they get comfortable.**

“Oh yeah, this is much better. And I can even lean my head against yours so I can’t see any of the lights.”

(Pause)

“I swear, you just get more and more perfect every day. You’re like, the most perfect person to ever exist, you know that?”

(Pause)

“Well, to me you are, and that’s what really matters.”

\Narrator laughs softly.**

“But that’s a discussion we can have in the morning. I’m still exhausted, and you’re clearly just as tired as me, since you can’t even keep your eyes open. So why don’t you lay your head against my chest and I’ll block out some of the sound for you? That way I won’t have to be blinded by the lights, and you don’t have to keep waking up every time some jackass decides that everyone in a fifty mile radius needs to hear how loud they can rev their engine.”

(Pause)

“Mhm, just like that. Are you comfortable, honey?”

(Pause)

“Good. Then I’m gonna pull these blankets up around us so we can finally get some sleep.”

\The sheets rustle as Narrator pulls the blankets up.**

“Alright, there we go.”

\Narrator yawns.**

“I love you, and I can’t wait to annoy you with all of my love tomorrow. That’s not a threat, but it’s not not a threat. Sleep well, honey.”

\Narrator chuckles quietly before both drift off to sleep. The audio can either end here or can be continued into a sleep aid with ambience noise/breathing sounds/etc.**
