The Night's End

"Mmm..." After dinner, Crow and Gale cuddled up on the couch. Thanksgiving specials were on the television. "Me wuv you, Gale." Crow whispered, putting his head on his chest. "I wuv you too." Gale whispered back before nuzzling him.
A yawn escaped Crow. "You is sleepy?" He was asked. "Mmm... Me only little tiwed." "You is suwe?" "Me is..." He yawned again. "Sleep." "No..." "Pwease?" "O-okey..." His eyes fell closed and he fell asleep.
Soon after, Gale was drifting off too. His arms were wrapped tightly around Crow. He kissed his forehead before snoring softly.
