Antauri stepped out and stretched.

It was another busy day ahead of them. He had to prepare himself for the day ahead. He didn't have a chance to walk forward as he felt Sprx grab his arm. Antauri looked down at his sleepy partner. Sprx's eyes were half open. He sleepily tugged his arm.

"Come back to bed," he pleaded.

"Sprx, we have to be awake now."

"I don't care," he responded, "I want five more minutes and I want you."

Antauri bent down to be at his eye level.

"And I want you to get up. Come on." Antauri said.

"Not until you lay back down with me for five more minutes."

The black monkey sighed. Sprx was stubborn and persistent, there was no way he was backing down from his attempts. For now, Antauri let Sprx win. He laid back down with him. Sprx smiled in victory and he wrapped his arms around him.

Antauri kept count of the minutes.
