When Andy woke up, Ashley was sound asleep on the chair across from him. He was mumbling and snoring, but Andy still thought he looked beautiful. Andy watched Ashley sleep as he stayed in his laying down position. He was comfortable, all wrapped up in blankets and a pillow under his head.
Ashley mumbled something and Andy could have sworn that he said his name.
Ashley's face scrunched up and he started looking like he was in pain. He was having a nightmare.
"No!" Ashley said, very audibly.
Andy quickly got up and sat on the arm of the chair. He wrapped his good wing around Ashley to try to comfort him. Slowly, Ashley sank back into Andy and fell back into a peaceful dream.
"It's okay, Ash. I'm here." Andy whispered. He knew that Ashley didn't hear him, but he said it out loud strictly for the purpose of him knowing that he himself was there. Andy was thankful in so many ways for Ashley. He knew that he had thought about his thankfulness many times, and knew that he'd probably mentioned it to Ashley, but he still felt like he had to say and feel it.
Andy sighed and smiled down at Ashley while he slept.
"Thank you for everything, Ash. I love you." Andy kissed Ashley on the cheek and his eyelids fluttered open.
Ashley looked into Andy's eyes and smiled. "I love you, too, Andy."
Andy blushed. "I'm...I'm sorry I woke you up." he said.
Andy moved his wing away so Ashley could sit up.
"It's okay, baby." Ashley said.
He kissed Andy on his soft pink lips and Andy smiled at Ashley's touch.
Suddenly, Ashley was pushing harder, and he forced his tongue into Andy's mouth. Andy allowed the motion, and embraced every moment of it.
