( No Title )
When caretaker comes in, they find whumpee curled up asleep on the couch with their knees drawn up and their arms around a pillow. The flicker of the television paints the dim room in soft colored light, shimmering on whumpee’s face.
Caretaker comes up along the back of the couch and looks down on their charge– they reach down to gently brush their cheek with the back of their hand.
Whumpee stirs, murmuring and nuzzling against caretaker’s face, but doesn’t fully wake up. Unwilling to wake whumpee– who clearly needs the sleep– in order to move them to bed, caretaker instead brings a blanket and settles on the couch with whumpee, covering both of them.
