Will startled awake when Rykah put his arms around him. “Morning, Ry.”
Will startled awake when Rykah put his arms around him. “Morning, Ry.”
"Morning." Rykah nuzzled Will sleepily, his chin hooked on Will's shoulder.
“You were awake before I was for once.”
Rykah impulsively twisted to kiss Will's jaw, not wanting to move to reach his cheek.
Will smiled and turned over and moved down a bit.
Rykah kissed him again, still on the cheek.
When Rykah moved back again, Will kissed him normally, before smiling and pulling away. “I’ll be back, I’m going to go check on my siblings.” Will climbed over Rykah and went out the door.
Rykah frowned when he left, but contented himself with burrowing under the covers.
Will knocked on Anna’s door first. When she didn’t answer, he pushed it open a little bit. She was wearing headphones and reading a book, nodding along to whatever music she was listening to. He waved, and she smiled at him.
He moved on down the hall to Jack’s room. He opened the door, and noticed that although Jack was still sleeping, his blanket and half his pillows were in the floor. Telltale sign that at some point, he had had a nightmare.
Will shook Jack’s shoulder, and Jack startled awake, before smiling at Will. “You need something, man?”
Will shook his head. Jack got out of bed, and said, “I think I’m going to go take a walk.”
Rykah had stolen all the blankets and was nearly asleep again in a bundle of feathers, blankets, a tail, and a pair of ears.
Will came back into his room, and sighed. “Really Rykah?”
Rykah flopped over, layers of blankets held aside by a wing. Then he gave Will the most classic cat stare on the planet. "Cuddle?"
(idk what is up with him…. he's part wolf not cat!! XD)
Will rolled his eyes. “You go back to sleep, I’m going to go take a run around the block.”
Rykah pouted, reluctantly flopping again, before rolling out of bed and chucking all the blankets back up in a tangle as he grabbed a hoodie, (Not necessarily putting it on) and followed Will outside with a yawn.
Jack had gone one way, and Will the other, but if you hadn’t seen them go out, you wouldn’t know who was who. Although, Will was in a bright yellow shirt, and Jack was in a green one.
Rykah got to the front door, Hoodie half over his wings, and saw the two boys. taking one look at the green one he set off for the yellow one, jogging to catch up.
(Body language is also a thing)
(Oof right.)
“Hey.” Will said, smiling at Rykah.
"No point in sleeping without you" he said still sleepy as he shoved his wings through the holes in the back of the hoodie, glad he'd grabbed one of his old ones.
“I see.” Will said, smiling. He picked up His pace so that he was running.
Rykah matched him easily, he woke up pretty quick to in the chilly morning air as he ran next to Will. "Why do you do this?" he asked.
“Gets rid of extra energy.” Will said, before lowering his voice a bit. “Don’t tell my family this, but…. it’s also a good way to get away from them. I love them, and I shouldn’t want to get away, but sometimes they get chaotic and I just needed a bit.”
"I can see that.." said Rykah, dropping back a bit as he found his rhythm.
Will nodded. “How do you feel about heading to the donut place?”
"That'd be nice" said Rykah with a grin.
