They'd saved Floyd!

He looked like he was trying not to cry, but other then that he seemed fairly okay!

JD helped him into Rhonda as Clay, Bruce, Poppy, and Tiny were fighting over where to go next.

Branch smiled and carefully took Floyd from JD, helping him over to the couch.

JD joined their quiet little fight.

Branch sat next to Floyd.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly.

Floyd smiled, "Yeah, I'm alright, little brother. Are you alright?"

Branch tilted his head, "Why are you asking me? You should be more worried about yourself!"

Floyd chuckled, "I have a special sense for knowing when your sleepy, even if you can't feel it right now."

He hummed, "Are you sure? I really don't feel sleepy.."

Floyd nodded, "Yep, stay sat. Got it? I might not be able to catch you if you fall."

Branch huffed, "I doubt you wouldn't be able to, Tiny can even pick me up! Not a lot, but he can!"

Floyd smiled, "Not because of your weight you little doofus! Because I might not be able to react as quickly!"

Branch's eyes widened, "Oh, right.."

He smiled, "Are you sure you're not sleepy?"

Branch nodded, "Yep."

He raised an eyebrow, "Alright, well, I'm gonna start humming. You alright with that?"

Branch nodded and he began to hum a lullaby.

He watched as Branch's head fell forwards before he jolted awake.

"You're so mean." Branch said.

Floyd smirked, "Maybe, but it's working, right?"

Branch huffed, "Maybe..." he mumbled.

He smiled and gently forced Branch to lay down with his head on his lap and continued humming.

Soon enough, Branch fell asleep.

Winner? Floyd.
