Sleep paralysis, according to wikipedia:
Sleep paralysis occurs either when falling asleep, or when awakening. When it occurs upon falling asleep, the person remains aware while the body shuts down for REM sleep, or when it occurs upon awakening, the person becomes aware before the REM cycle is complete. It may be accompanied by terrifying hallucinations and an acute sense of danger. It is particularly frightening to the individual because of the vividness of such hallucinations. The possible causes include stress, sudden environmental/lifestyle changes, etc.
I'd like to see Arthur super stressed out (the cause is up to you-president duties, school work, family issues, whichever) and suffering from this. For days, he wakes in the middle of the night, terrified of going back asleep until he finally gets desperate enough to resort to sneaking into Alfred's room with his own pillow in tow. Snuggling ensues.

A/N: dear OP, I apologize beforehand for general fail and mistakes and typos and everything that may happen. My attempt is to give you fluff and a bit of angst and reluctant snuggling?? Ohh, Arthur and Alfred, would you make up your minds please?

He had overslept!Arthur cursed under his breath, simultaneously grabbing his messenger bag with one hand and finishing buckling his belt with the other. Bag secured, tie in place, wallet and cell on his person, Arthur dashed out

By now he knew it would be long minutes before his body decided to obey his mind commands.
Deep breaths, rationalization, calm, staying calm, do not panic, believe that movement will return soon, soon. This was all part of his imposed training.
But he was lucky, Arthur mused with dry humor. Fortunately his developed routine had him waking at dawn, with plenty of time to prepare and be early for his meetings and classes.
‘-the classroom, love…’Arthur winced, eyes shutting tightly. What was he dreaming, again? The old family house, the smell of breakfast, Mrs. Morrison’s horrid Math tests…and mother, and his insufferable brothers

The other anon is being too kind and got a bit confused? because for the life of me, I do not know how I could compare to any other writer!anon in this meme. Everyone is so talented, I feel so intimidated.
