(I'm really tired, and this chapter is so short, omg. I should've waited until tomorrow to write this but I've really wanted to keep writing for like five days. This is probably shit, and Joey keeps autocorrecting to JPEG for some reason, but yeah. I hope you enjoy.)

After their little adventure in Paris, Joey and Daniel still had a few hours to kill in England before their flight back to LA.
"I can't wait to see Wolf," Joey murmured, looking up at Daniel. The two of them were just lying on their hotel bed together, talking about anything that crossed their minds.
"Oh, God, me either," Daniel agreed, nodding gently as he played with Joey's hair.
"I just can't wait to get home in general, I think," Joey continued, yawning as he spoke. "Traveling is fun but it makes me so damn tired," he laughed a little.
"We're gonna get home, and then you and Wolf and I, the three of us are gonna take a twelve hour nap together, alright?" Daniel smiled, looking up at the ceiling.
"That sounds amazing."

The next day, Daniel and Joey left the hotel way too early in the morning to catch their flight.
Joey actually ate some breakfast before the flight, just to make sure he wouldn't have a repeat of what happened on the flight to England.
As soon as they boarded the plane, Joey found that they had a problem. He and Daniel had seats that were separated.
Sure, it was only by a few feet. They could still talk to each other if they needed to, but Joey felt stranded. How was he supposed to hold Daniel's hand when he was on the other side of the aisle?
Joey sat down and tried to get settled, knowing the only thing that would really help him would be having Daniel sitting right next to him.
Joey tried to have a conversation with Daniel, who was already engrossed in reading his magazine, but stopped when the other passengers gave him angry looks for being so loud so early in the morning.
Joey dug through his bag, looking for some paper. He messily scribbled a frowning face on it and held it up so Daniel could see it.
Daniel gave him a sympathetic look, blowing him a kiss. Joey unenthusiastically pretended to catch it.
Thankfully, Joey managed to fall asleep soon after, and stayed asleep for most of the flight. Daniel looked over at him every once in awhile, smiling to himself.

"Oh my God, Wolfie, I missed you so much!" Joey exclaimed, wrapping his arms around his beloved Wolf as soon as he got home from the airport.
Daniel, not wanting to miss the opportunity for an adorable video moment, grabbed the camera and recorded for a few moments.
The next half an hour of Joey and Daniel's lives was spent sitting on the floor and reconnecting with Wolf. Joey was actually telling him stories about what happened in Europe, which Daniel thought was both dorky and cute.
Wolf was like their child. Sure, he was a dog, and he couldn't actually do a lot of things that human children do, but the love was still there.
"Hey, Daniel, I have an idea," Joey smiled after he was finished telling Wolf about their trip.
"Hm?" Daniel questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Let's go take that twelve hour nap you mentioned," Joey stood up, already heading to the bedroom.
Joey and Daniel (and Wolf) did just that, all climbing under the covers together and having a good old-fashioned cuddle session together until they fell asleep.
