28. Wish/Shaft of Sunlight. Cat!John
John grumbled to himself as he made his way to the kitchen. He was desperate for a coffee. He'd come down from Five last night at the insistence of his oldest brother, but he'd not slept any. Damn gravity.
He wished that his brother would leave him alone sometimes.
But then John sighed. That wasn't fair on Scott. His brother was born to worry about his siblings, and John had been run ragged with the recent spate of non-stop rescues. Grandma had called a 24-hour shutdown and Scott had insisted John came down to rest.
As he got closer to the kitchen and the caffeine he both craved and needed, he yawned widely…and stumbled over nothing, falling down onto all fours. John groaned. He was tired and gravity was…brutal.
And then the sun came out.
Without even thinking anything more than how tired he was and how warm the shaft of sunlight was, John promptly curled up and fell asleep.
When Scott came back from his run and saw the orange cat asleep in the sunbeam he smiled softly.
Finally, John was getting the rest he needed.
