"Heeey..." You lightly groaned at the feminine voice that entered your ears, shifting your body a bit. It was really warm, and you didn't want to move.
"Y/n.... heeey..." Your eyes fluttered, before opening up showing you the two people that stood in front of you, in... the living room, by the looks of it.
"Morning sleepyhead. You plan on staying asleep all day?" Pearl asked, waving a hand in front of your face.
"Mmmmm..." under your blanket, someone stirred, woken by the noise and movement,
"What....?" 8 peeked out of the blanket, as drowsy as you were.
"Oh... morning, Pearl. Good morning... Marina..." she let out a loud yawn, laying her head against you again.
"Wow, did you two stay up late or something?" Marina asked, putting a hand on her hip as she looked between the both of you.
"I... am still recovering from my sleep deprivation, thank you very much... and since you weren't here to cuddle with me, I had to make do..." You asserted, still not moving from your previous position.
"Wow, Marina. You're being replaced by your own surrogate daughter. How does it feel?" Pearl asked, looking at her friend.
"I'm sorry, daughter?" Marina repeated, looking at Pearl.
"Y/n's started dating you, and adopted 8 as his kid. Is that not enough to count you as the mom?" Pearl asked.
"That would... be nice." 8 mumbled. After a moment, she began to lightly snore, signifying a fall back into sleep. Marina smiled at 8, sighing silently.
"Having 8 as my daughter... I certainly would not be opposed to that." Marina admitted.
"Ooh, just growing one big happy family, huh?" Pearl asked.
"Whatever. Just... let me sleep a bit more." You told the two, barely able to ward off the incoming darkness of drowsiness.
"Sure, fine, just have some things ready by tomorrow morning. We're all going somewhere... special." Pearl responded.
"You want to get to an actual bed, instead of sleeping on the couch like that?" Marina asked. You were currently laying on the couch, arms crossed with a leg rest up, letting you lean back for some back support. You know, the basic dad sleeping position, like during a football game or something.
"I'll be fine. Just..." You paused to yawn, before continuing.
"Wake me up in a few hours. Before lunch if possible." You told Marina.
"Sure thing... hun." Marina responded.
"Hun?" You muttered.
"What, do you not like nicknames?" Marina inquired.
"...you sound like a middle aged mom." You responded. Marina let out an audible laugh at the remark.
"Okay, maybe I'll skip lunch and let you sleep through dinner." She told you. You simply hummed in response, slowly blinking.
"I might not be opposed to that. " you murmured back. Marina let off a joking scoff, rolling her eyes and walking to you, shaking her head.
"Whatever. Get all the sleep you need, Kay?" She told you. You nodded, and Marina hummed in approval, before leaning forward.
With the basic 'smooch' sound, Marina planted a kiss on your cheek before walking off with Pearl in tow, the latter lightly teasing over what just happened.
