Your eyes fluttered open slowly, your face still pressed against the soft fur of Keith's wolf.

You fell asleep on him yesterday, you now remembered. Xyra told you to move up to the bed but you insisted on cuddling with the wolf just for a few more minutes. What was his name again? Did Keith ever tell you the name? You didn't know.

The room was still dimly lit, perfect for you to close your eyes and keep sleeping. You wouldn't want to wake up your friend you were cuddling with, right? Must still be well into the night.

Something caressed your face, combing strands of hair back. Or were you imagining it? Probably, but it felt nice. You sighed, hugging your fur friend tighter.

You almost drifted into your dreams again, when you heard a voice softly say your name.

You pressed your eyes shut tightly, shaking your head. "No," you protested. "Five more minutes."

Someone laughed. You felt a finger poking your cheek. "Come on, (Y/N). Open your eyes."

You groaned but complied as you turned on your back and rubbed your eyes to relieve the sleepiness. "What time is it? Must be, like, three AM."

The wolf moved from under you and nudged your side to help you wake up. You pet his head, yawning.

"It's six AM for us," Keith replied. Wait, Keith?!

You snapped your head in the direction of the voice. There he was, crouching next to you with a smile on his face.

"Did you sleep well?" he asked, giving you and hand to help you up. You slowly nodded, looking around. "What? Why am I in your Lion?"

Then it clicked. You looked to the blue wolf, who watched you with an innocent expression. "You brought me here, didn't you?" you said to him. He just tilted his head.

Keith confirmed. "Yeah, you were transported here this morning. It was a pleasant surprise," he replied.

Krolia entered the room, shifting her armor in place. "Pleasant surprise indeed. Just watching you sleep somehow entertained him for half a varga even though I told him to wake you up earlier."

You huffed in surprise, watching Keith turn red in an instant before you. "I- Why would you say that?"

Krolia shrugged but glanced at you with a grin. You had to laugh. "Aw, you did?"

He tried to save himself, giving you all the excuses he could think of. It was funny to listen to him, but you saved him from the embarrassment when you simply gave him a peck on the cheek and stopped him in his tracks.

"I don't mind, you know?" You then excused yourself and left with the wolf to your own lion.

You lazily picked up your toothbrush and started brushing. Xyra was awake by now, as was everyone since a loud announcement sounded through the speakers.
