Whole Again - poly!feral boys (DreamSMP)

thirty - eight

hey guys :)

When I wake up, there's a sharp pain shooting through my temples.

The light seems like it's burning my eyes, and I immediately squeeze them shut.

"You okay?", a soft voice asks me.

I curl up into his side, his cologne filling my nostrils.

It's Alex.

"Head hurts.", I mumble.

I try to bury my face into his shirt, trying to escape from the pressure in my skull.

Alex types something on his phone before dropping it onto the bed.

"I have, like, ten minutes until we're all streaming.", he quietly mutters.

I don't want him to leave.

His presence is already making me feel better, and he's distracting me from the pain in my head.

"No.", I mumble, tightening my hold around his neck.

"You don't have to attempt to kill me.", he chuckles, still keeping his volume barely above a whisper.

"Shh.", I whisper, playing with the hair on the back of his head.

It's soft.

"I can try to tell them I won't be there, but you know some of them will get mad.", he enunciates 'some' extra hard, and I already know who he's referring to.

"Be nice.", I warn him, but there's no malice in my tone.

I don't feel well enough to quell another argument between him and Clay.

They are both so territorial sometimes, and it has been prone to cause issues.

It could be over any of us or anything in general.

If they both want it, there's bound to be issues.

"You know he's going to be annoying about it.", Alex grunts, trying to still stay calm and quiet, but it's getting harder for him as he thinks about past incidents.

"Who cares? It's just us. Now shush, pillows don't talk.", I rush through my words, just wanting to enjoy my cuddles in silence.

Alex types out another message before dropping his phone again.

His arms wrap around me, coming to rest on my lower back.

What feels like hours pass by, and I fully enjoy my time in his arms.

I'm almost asleep when Alex begins to hum.

It's a song I don't recognize, but the melody is pretty.

It's even prettier coming from him.

He traces circles on my back as he hums, trying his best to lull me into a nap to try to rid of the headache.

I am almost asleep again when the door opens.

"Shh.", Alex quickly attempts to shush the intruder.

"Aww.", I hear a whisper and a camera shutter.

"Stop taking photos and get out! She's asleep!", Alex hisses, still keeping his voice quiet.

I mean, I'm not, but at least he's attempting to protect my non-existent slumber.

"Karl needs one more person on his Jackbox stream. We were kinda counting on you to join.", now I know that it's Sapnap.

Alex makes a slightly disgruntled noise.
