Hey guys :D
This is a sequal (somewhat) of "Take a bath!" on my account, so if you want to understand some of it, please read it first!
_H-O-W_M-A-N-Y_S-H-E-E-P_C-A-N_Y-O-U_C-O-U-N-T_?_
Sniffle. Sniffle.
Snoring. Snoring.
Sniffle.
Snore.
"A-akeifa?" A pale child murmurs. His radiant brown eyes look at the man sleeping in bed. The child's pajamas are blue, with white clouds. The sleeves are longer than his arms. A large white tiger stuffed animal is in his child hands, with an untamed mane. He prods the sleeping man while he wipes his nose.
Said man is a tan young adult. He has gray hair barely reaching his shoulders, and dark golden eyes. His shirt is long forgotten in a tangle of sheets on his bed, his leg hanging off to the side. Chiseled chest and stomach glow through the slight light through the window. His hands stretch from side to side, a soft snore arising from his mouth. Canine teeth larger than usual poke out from his lips. Dark red boxers secure themselves on his hip.
"Akeifa.."
Sniffle. Sniffle.
Snoring. Snoring.
Sniffle.
Snore.
The child starts to poke him even harder. "Akeifa, wake up! Please?"
Akeifa wakes up, a slight head ache getting to him. "W-wha..?"
The boy smiles in happiness. He hugs him contently. "Akeifa!"
"Little Ryou," Akeifa blinks. "what's wrong?"
"Nothing—well, actually, I got scared. Ryou and Bakura aren't back yet and neither are the others, so I came to you."
"You had a nightmare, kid?" The gray-haired man asks. The silverette nods. Akeifa's expression softens, and picks him up and lays him on the other side of the bed. "Why don't you sleep here?"
Ryou puts his tiger down, and crawls onto the Thief King's lap, and goes to sleep. Akeifa smiles sleepily, and lays back down, a sleeping angel cradled in his arms. "Good night."
"Good night, little one."
S-E-V-E-N-T-E-E-N
Most likely that was more than seventeen, but I can guess, right? XD I fail.
Anyway, thanks for reading and please try to get enough sleep as possible every day!
