Sherman openned his eyes slowly, blinking a couple of times trying clear his hazy sight. He really had to go to the bathroom, so as he slowly tried to slip out of the bed, he watched Mikey, making sure not to wake up the loudly snoring mutant. It was a wonder he fell asleep. He grabbed his glasses and looked at the clock on the wall
"2:00" he mumbled to himself, and annoyed tone in his voice. Sighing, he walked out of the room and started his walk to the bathroom, eyes adjusting to the dark. Or, until he saw a light coming from what he remembered as Donnie's lab. forgetting about his bathroom mission and walked over.
He saw Donnie, furiously typing on his computer. Hearing small footsteps, Donnie looked over his shoulder only to see the ginger haired child, and a small smile grew on his lips.
"Hey, what're you doing up Sherman?" he asked, his voice soft as to not wake the others (mainly Raphael).
"Had to go to the bathroom" Sherman replied simply, "What about you? You should be asleep like the others" Donnie's smile didnt fade, as Shermans concern made him smile a little more even
"Well, im like the teams technician. i have to work hard on weapons and tools to take care of criminals" And so Donnie turned around and continue on with his work.
Sherman, though, was determined. So, walking up to Donnie computer and shut it firm enough to make a point, but not hard enough to do any kind of damage.
Donnie, who had pulled his hands away swiftly so they wouldn't be smacked by the screen, looked at Sherman in shock.
"That doesnt mean you cant sleep, Donnie. You need to go to sleep" he said firmly. Donnie was surprised, he didnt except something like this from the child
"Sherman, I cant just get up and leave now. Im in the middle of a project right now"
'Please Donnie?"
"No, Sherman"
"please?"
"Sherman-"
"Please?!" Donnie sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose (Or, atleast where is would be)
"Look, Sherman. I appreciate your concern but-" Donnie was interupted when Sherman pulled one of the oldest tricks in the book; the puppy-dog face. Now, usually this wouldnt effect Donnie, since this move was something Mikey used a LOT. But, this was SHERMAN doing this. And honestly, it was very hard to say no to him. I loud sigh was heard from him
"fine. Ill sleep," A large grin spread across Shermans face, but faded a little when Donnie continued, "but im going back to work when you leave" he said simply. Sherman frowned but then an idea came to his mind, like a light being turned on by a switch.
"You're going to sleep with me and Mikey tonight"
"What?"
"You are going to sleep with me and Mikey tonight so I can keep an eye on you"
"Sherman, that really isnt-"
"Donnie, please. I just want you sleep. Even if its just tonight" The look on Shermans face was enough to break his heart. His face softened, and he agreed.
"Good! Now, im gonna go to the bathroom!" Sherman ran, and Donnie couldnt help the amused smile he had. He grabbed a pillow and a blanket from his room and walked into Mikey's room. Sherman was there. Sherman walked over to Mikey and shook him awake. Mikey's eyes slowly openned and he started mumbling gibberish that neither Donnie nor Sherman could understand
"Hey Mikey, Donnie's gonna stay with us tonight so I can keep an eye on him. Is that ok?" Mikey mumbled once more, and Sherman was able to get something that sounded like a 'sure', that was good enough for him.
Sherman crawled into the bed, Donnie following after him, trying to get comfortable in the bed. He closed his eyes, thinking to himself. 'Maybe this isn't SO bad...'. He started to drift of when he felt a warm breathe on his neck. He realized that sherman had snuggled up to him. He fought a small laugh and closed his eyes, drifting off into an unconcious state
