The Snoozing Padawan
#4- Sleepwalking, Snuggling, and Snoring
A/N: This particular story place sometime after "He Sleepwalks?". Please read that story first.
It was the middle of the night.
Everyone on The Ghost was sound asleep.
Zeb was sprawled out and snoring as loudly as he could.
Ezra was curled up on his side, his back facing the door. He was sleeping peacefully. His mouth was slightly open, and he was snoring softly through his nose.
After a while, Ezra stirred. He rolled onto his back. Then, he sat up with a snort.
The blue-haired teen moved over to the ladder and climbed down.
Zeb (who was still passed out and snoring) was completely unaware of what his roommate was doing.
Ezra unconsciously opened the door and walked down the hall.
The teen walked to Kanan's room, opened the door, and walked inside.
Kanan was laying on his back, mouth agape, and snoring softly.
Ezra walked over to his master's bed, laid down, and snuggled up to him.
A few hours later…
Kanan awoke with a start.
He tried to sit up, but he couldn't.
Then, he noticed a weight on his chest that hadn't been there when he fell asleep.
Slowly, he reached up and felt someone's shoulder. Then, he heard soft snoring.
He used the Force to turn his light on.
He was surprised to find his Padawan sleeping on his chest.
Kanan shook the boy's shoulder as gently as he could.
Ezra stirred. He stopped snoring and mumbled something unintelligible in his sleep. Then, he wrapped his arm around Kanan, hugging him tightly. After a few minutes, he relaxed again.
Kanan wasn't sure why the teen was in his room. Ezra seemed to be sleeping peacefully, and Kanan didn't sense that anything WAS WRONG.
"He must've been sleepwalking", Kanan thought.
Although it was rare, it wasn't unheard. Ezra had done this a couple of times before.
Kanan used the Force to turn the light off.
He wasn't sure why his Padawan had started sleepwalking again, but he would figure it out in the morning.
Besides, he didn't mind letting the boy stay with him again.
Although he'd probably never admit it, he loved the boy. The kid was like a son to him.
Kanan wrapped an arm around Ezra.
The blue-haired teen sighed softly in his sleep.
"Good night, Kid", Kanan whispered.
Ezra snored softly in response.
Kanan smiled and closed his eyes.
After a few minutes, he drifted back into a deep sleep and resumed snoring softly.
The End.
