His loud snores abruptly ending with a fly getting in his mouth, Ozone woke up the next day coughing it out. Groaning, he stared at the ceiling. He could barely open his light green eyes, his muscles were sore and he didn't even feel like getting up in the first place. The Sphynx cat forced himself to sit up from where he had been laying on his back. Looking over to his left, he smiled softly at the sight of Tiberius sleeping soundly. Licking his lover's cheek, he mumbled softly, "Rise and shine beautiful."
"Five more minutes…" Tiberius muttered, slowly opening one eye. Snickering quietly, Ozone kept licking the old hawk's face. Smiling, the red tail closed his eyes and purred happily. "Okay, you win…" he murmured, lifting his head. Turning around, he preened the feathers on his shoulders. Ozone seemed to have the same idea as he started washing his face. Licking his paw and brushing it over his holey ear, the cat yawned and commented, "Yeah, I think that was a pretty good night we had."
"You should add restless night to that description Ozone," Tiberius pointed out, yawning. The hawk felt sore everywhere. His husband had kept his word and made sure that they had a really good time last night. He just hated waking up in the morning with an achy body. Nuzzling the red tailed hawk lovingly, Ozone replied back, "To be fair, I don't think we were the only ones with the same idea. Mel and Buddy are the reason why it was restless last night."
"Yeah, no one could get any sleep with them howling. I'm still wondering how we were able to," Tiberius remarked, rubbing the back of his neck with one foot. That left him standing on only one. A sneaky idea coming into mind, Ozone silently wrapped his tail around the hawk's foot and pulled, knocking the bird down with ease. Laughing, he pounced on his partner. Now they both started laughing happily. Stopping after a little bit, they gazed into each other's eyes and closed in for a kiss. Before that happened though, Tiberius stopped Ozone and asked, "What time is it?" Glancing outside, Ozone saw the sun high up in the sky and murmured, "Uh… noon I believe-"
"I'm back!" Maya squeaked, arriving on the rooftop. She bounded over to the shed and raced inside, pouncing on her parents. Surprised at first, Ozone and Tiberius hugged her. Having had come up with the cat and hawk hybrid, Gidget stood in the doorway and smiled as she watched the small family. Sitting down, she pointed out, "I thought I could help you guys out and bring Maya up here."
"Thank you Gidget, really appreciate it," Tiberius replied, trying hard not to laugh as Maya played around on his back. The young kitten then jumped on her father Ozone and nibbled on his ear. Snickering, the hairless feline played along and cried, "Oh no! You got me!" This caused little Maya to burst out laughing. She hugged her parents again, happy to be back home with them. Her mission completed, Gidget left. Nuzzling her mom and dad, Maya asked, "So, what did you guys do last night?"
Glancing over at each other nervously, Ozone and Tiberius answered quickly at the same exact time, "Nothing."
