"Modo ..", Vinnie crawled closer. "Hey, Modo ..", he rubbed Modo 's stomach.
"Hmm …?" Modo opened his single eye. "Oh .. you ..", he smiled wearily. "Please don't do any of that anymore. You startled me."
"Are you sleeping?" Vinnie blushed slightly.
"Yep ..", Modo nodded and yawned. " I'm trying to."
"You should sleep", Vinnie gasped weakly.
"No, no", Modo rubbed himself. "I'm awake now, man, what did you want to say?"
"We can talk some other time, okay."
"Can not get to sleep?" Modo nodded and sat up. "Come here", he pulled himself closer to Vinnie. "I will not allow you to monitor your own", he kissed Vinnie on the forehead. "Okay?"
Vinnie nodded weakly. "Seriously ... I'm sorry that i woke you .."
"Nonsense ", Modo laughed softly. "We can sit here for a while, if you do not want to talk about. Everything is really okay."
Vinnie blushed. "You 're making me nervous sometimes", he muttered. "You're tired, I know it."
"I do not .. "
"Stop it!" Vinnie growled. "Do not keep yourself awake just because i saw another one of those stupid dreams."
Modo stared at him in confusion. "I 'm sorry", he said softly. "I do not want you to see them."
Vinnie bowed his head.
"I want to protect you from anything, all right," Modo brought Vinnie's chin up and kissed him.
