K is for Koala
Ian stared out the window of the cab as it pulled into his driveway. He had been gone for a month this time and the mission hadn't gone very well. He shifted in his seat and rolled his left shoulder anxiously. MI6 hadn't been happy.
"That'll be $22.50." The cab driver spoke.
Ian sighed and dug out his wallet. "Thanks, mate." He opened the car door and pulled out his backpack. The boot popped open and he walked around and grabbed his suitcase, slamming the boot shut and waving as the cabbie drove away. Ian glanced at his watch. 3:45AM. Great. He'd get three hours sleep and then have to get up and go into work and explain why his mission went bust. He could already feel a headache waiting behind his eyes.
Sighing in self-pity he trudged up to the front door and let himself into the house. He'd check on Alex and then go to bed. His mind pictured the warm light blue blankets and soft white pillow for him and he yawned. He was getting too old for this.
He walked up the stairs and around the corner. The house was dark and quiet, Alex's bedroom door was open and a crack of light washed out into the hallway. Ian peered in. Alex had fallen asleep with a book open on his chest and his lamp still on. Light blonde hair fell over his eyes, his chest rose and fell slowly and he snored softly. Ian smiled. He put his suitcase down and opened his backpack. Digging around he found what he was looking for and pulled it out.
Quietly, so he didn't wake his nephew he walked over to Alex's bed and closed the book, making sure to mark the place Alex had fallen asleep at. He put his gift next to Alex's sleeping body and pushed the hair from his eyes. Alex stirred and curled around the little koala, his fringe falling right back into his eyes. Ian frowned slightly and closed his eyes. Breathing in deeply he turned away and flicked off the blue lamp on Alex's bedside table. Walking out of the room and closing the door silently.
AN: So that was K! Hope you liked it. Next up, L is for Luck XD
