Chapter 9

Honey

Honey curled her fingers around the door handle. She pushed downwards. She placed a hand on the door, took a deep breath, and pushed. The door hit the wall with a bang. "WAKE UP!"

Amethyst's head of messy dark hair popped up. The sheets on the bed of the bottom bunk moved and a human incoherent noise could be heard. Honey stared at the head of her husband poking out of the top of the sheet. "Go take a shower, Amy." Sheets rustled and bare feet hit the rungs of the ladder that connected the top bunk to the floor. Blue eyes followed the movement of a zombie-like panda Faunus that swayed slightly as it walked to the dresser on the other side of the room. Honey moved to stand in front of Zephyr's line of vision. "Wake up." The bathroom door was heard opening and closing. "Hey. Zephyr-baby, wake up." She shook his shoulder. He whined. He pulled her arm.

"Go back to sleep, Honey," he begged. His arms wrapped around her waist.

"No." She stepped away from him. He grumbled and held her tighter. "We have things to do. Wake up." She continued to step away, pulling her husband off of the bed. When his stomach was still in contact with the bed, Honey took one more step and he had to release her. He hung off the bed with his fingertips touching the floor and his face against the mattress… He slid to the floor, wiggling a little. He rolled onto his side. Honey stepped in front of him and knelt. "Hey." She reached out a finger to poke him and Zephyr pounced. He pulled her down onto the floor and began to tickle her. The blonde squealed and giggled.
