Scorpio has insomnia. He was not able to sleep for 3 days. He was having nightmares. Pisces tried to talk to him to tell her about his nightmares, but every time he changed the subject. He was not willing to tell her anything. He was afraid and started avoiding her.

It's 10 pm and Pisces is currently standing outside Scorpio's house door. She pressed the door bell and after a few seconds what greeted her was a shocked Scorpio's face. She can clearly see his dark circles.

"What are you doing here this late?"

Scorpio was surprised to see Pisces at this hour so he hurriedly pulled her in.

"Since you won't tell me about your nightmares and avoid me, I'm planning to sleep here." Pisces said going inside Scorpio's house.

Scorpio thought that Pisces was angry at him for avoiding her. He knew he was stupid doing that. So he quietly followed her inside. He was going to apologize to her "Pi...I... " But was interrupted by Pisces.

"I'll help you to sleep." said Pisces with a smile.

"You're not angry with me?" asked Scorpio.

"I never was." said Pisces stroking Scorpio's black hair. "I was worried Scorpi and I still am...seeing your dark circles." said Pisces sadly while her right thumb traced his dark circles lightly.

Scorpio engulfed Pisces in a tight hug. His head resting on the crook of her neck. He can smell her scent. The scent which calms him down. While her head resting on his chest. She can hear his heart beat. It was her favourite rhythm to listen to.

"I'm sorry for avoiding you. I promise I won't do something so stupid as that again." apologized Scorpio still hugging her.

Pisces raised her head to look at Scorpio "At least you know that was very stupid of you." she teased to which Scorpio chuckled and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you for coming Pi" said Scorpio and gave Pisces a forehead kiss.

After that they both changed into their pajamas and went to bed. They talked about different things. And slowly both fell asleep.

Scorpio in a muffled voice said, "You won."

"I can't hear you, love." Pisces broke the hug and looked at Scorpio only to find his eyes full of tears.

Pisces didn't say anything and just stared at him while wiping the little tears that were coming out of his eyes with her hands.

"Thank you" said Scorpio.

Pisces raised her eyebrow in a questioning way thinking why he thanked her.

Scorpio explained "Thank You for everything. Trust me love, you are my salvation. I don't know what I would be doing if I didn't know you. Thank you for coming into my life and choosing to stay with me."

"Aww!!" Pisces said while hugging Scorpio.

They stayed hugging each other for 10 minutes until Scorpio calmed down.

"You won", Scorpio said while breaking out of the hug.

Pisces moved her face closer to Scorpio's ear and whispered "Well, Mr Scorpio would you like to stay indoors and just cuddle with me?"

"I would love to." answered Scorpio with a smile.

And afterwards they cuddled for the whole night and the next day also.
