Chapter Text
Sleep hummed as they watched over its Vessel’s. They had come a long way, and despite still having a long way to still go - Sleep was proud of it’s four Vessels.
Their First, commonly known as just Vessel, or V. Sleep remembered when it saved the First; whispering sweet words into his head, enticing him to pray to Sleep as the Deity dragged Vessel from the cold waters of the Ocean, promising to never leave the first alone - promising that he would be cherished and loved.
Vessel was a good listener. Sleep was content with the way things were going with the band and all the offerings her Vessel’s brought forth. It even rewarded the First with pleasant dreams and soft touches. The weary singer deserved the entire world and damn it, Sleep was determined to show his First just how much he deserved it.
Sleep yearned for the day her first would stop aching, stop hurting. Sleep hoped to see the day when her first realized that her second, third and fourth loved his first with all their hearts. And she too, loved him (all of them really.)
Pressing against the bond Sleep had with V, she sent soothing and loving waves, and hoped he felt it and her presence as Sleep slid back into the darkness for a while - until it was needed, or until her Vessels prayed once more.
One day… That day would come. Until that day comes, Sleep supposes it will still do whatever she can to ensure the safety of his First.
