forum Is it too much to ask for a roleplay that won't die?

Firiko stirred slightly, curling up further, and tucking his head under his wing.

Alex smiled.
He's cute when he's sleeping. Moving silently, he heated up the remains of last night's dinner in the coals of the nearly dead fire.

Firiko's tail twitched as he slept.

Soon, the smell of the food was wafting through the air. It was nearly warmed up, so Alex figured it was time to wake Firiko up.

Firiko had buried his head so far under his wing that only his ears were visble.

Alex gently placed his hand on Firiko.
"Firiko, it's time to wake up."

Firiko huffed, curling in on himself.

Rolling his eyes, Alex lightly shook Firiko.
"Time to get up!" He repeated.

Firiko stirred, growling lightly.

"Come on; the food's heated up, and we need to get moving if we're gonna reach the mountain!" Alex chuckled, stepping away to tidy up the camp.

Firiko finally uncurled, growling lightly at him.

Alex looked over at Firiko.
"I see your up, sleepy head. Here." Alex poured a bowl of the leftovers and set it by Firiko.

Firiko glared at him. "Don't you know not to wake the sleeping wolf?"

"Don't you know I've done stupider things?" Alex laughed at himself.

"Yeah, but you never, ever wake the sleeping wolf.." he growled softly, lapping at the bowl

"Fine, fine. Next time I'll let you wake me up," Alex rolled his eyes. He got himself some of the food and ate quietly.

Firiko ate his quietly, before sleepily pressing up against the other, laying his head down to go back to sleep.
(He's too tired to think straight)

Alex glanced down at Firiko, stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and continued eating.

Firiko drifted off again happily.

Alex quietly finished his food. Then, not wanting to disturb Firiko, he set his bowl down, picked up his book, and started reading again. Of course, he had moved on to another tale.
"The queen looked down at her daughter, filled with disgust. She tossed the child into the moat, where it joined the others the queen had born."

(THAT'S A HORRIBLE STORY WHY IS THE FLUFF READING IT?????????)
Firiko slept peacfully, his feathers smooshed against Alex's side.

(He's an 80's kid. Every kid's movie and story was dark af back then)
Alex glanced at Firiko. His feathers felt so soft.
"Of course, this child was different; it was the child of the fae king. As the child sunk under the water, struggling for air, the people of the water rose around her, breathing into her lungs."

(Riiiiiiiiiight. Casually hands Alex a less traumatizing book)
Firiko's ear twitched as he slept.

(Oml, I laughed when I read that and my teacher gave me the look.)
"A-And so, the g-girl gre-ew up…" Alex had finally realized what was going on; Firiko was snuggled up to him. He blushed a light pink.

Firiko stayed where he was sleeping peacefully.
