Youth
By Shawn Mendes
They were sprawled out on the couch, stretched and intertwined together. Not doing anything, just relaxing and enjoying the day off. Zach breathed out, his eyes closed and his head on Owen's chest. He listened to the dull thudding of the other man's heart. It was oddly lulling him to sleep.
Except… another sound cut through the lull thudding.
An odd slurping sound.
Zach opened his eyes slowly and sat up. Owen let out a protesting grunt and tried to pull Zach back down but he was already up and trying to peer over the couch. His eyes widened. "Echo! Stop it!"
The raptor glanced up at him but went back to doing what she was doing.
"Echo!" Zach snapped again. "Stop licking the floor! It's dirty!"
She didn't listen.
