The Flubug
Chapter 3
The Visit

* * * * *

Flopped into my bed in a haphazard fashion, my head sank into my pillow as the flannel sheets enveloped my body with their plush caress. It was once I had settled into my bed and started to drift away into a slumber that I failed to realize the door I left cracked open was silently pushed further open, and a certain pink face stared at me before approaching. By that point my eyes were closed and the only sign of another's presence was the hushed breathing other than my own. I was too sleepy to be awoken when a pair of hands started to stroke my chest and send fingers deeper into the soft down for a moment, probing the fluff and being joined by a moderate weight that settled on me before letting a calm breath out in contentment.

My eyes sprang opened to find the sight of Amy nuzzling me, sitting on me and resting her head on a makeshift pillow of silky white fuzz. My chest rose as I took a breath and spoke to the 'intruder' that found home on my belly. "Amy, what are you doing?" I whispered.

"Fuzzy, I thought it was impossible, but you're softer and cuddlier now than when you carried me home today." I heard a soft giggle before she continued. "Why are you so cuddly, Fuzzy?"

"I use conditioner in the shower, Amy," I replied reluctantly. God, this girl cuddles a lot. I've become her giant teddybear!

"Awww. Fuzzy, I love your cuddly belly," the pink blossom commented as I felt the warmth of her breath settle on my fur. The rose lifted her face to watch my crimson eyes with her own. "You're so damn cute, Shadow." A soft pair of lips pressed into mine for an instant before I realized it. As my cheeks burned in my embarrassment, the beautiful girl atop me let out another pleased laugh. "I love you, Shadow. Goodnight." Like that, her weight moved off of me as she stood back up and her eyes continued to watch mine.

"Amy?" I started to ask, trying to think of something to tell her before she left.

"What is it, Shadow?" I heard her sweet voice faintly rise in concern while her gorgeous emeralds watched me, seeming almost to glow on their own.

"You have the most beautiful green eyes I have ever seen in my entire life," I finished with a gentle grin. The rose had a faint blush tease her soft cheeks, and I could notice them in the dim light.

"Thank you, Fuzzy. I think you have the most beautiful rubies I have ever seen in my life. Goodnight." With her sentence finished she silently slipped out of view, and the surroundings once again were silent in the room. I paused to reflect on her compliment before I lowered my head back onto the pillow and drifted off to sleep...

A.N. This chapter is quite short, but it doesn't need to say much. Just a little more fluff before a certain hedgie falls asleep...
