Willis had slept in late today.

Twistey wasn't too concerned, this was something he did from time to time. What did concern her was the fact that he was still in bed after she'd gotten back from a leisurely breakfast and some chats with friends. Even with HQ's temporal weirdness, it had to have been a couple hours.

She sat on the edge of his bed and gently ruffled his bright red hair. "Morning, sleepyhead."

Willis responded with a muffled groan. "'M tired, Twistey. Didn't sleep well last night."

"Bad dream?"

"Think so. Don't even remember what it was. Somethin' that should've been silly, I think. All I remember's there were lots of weasels. Whatever happened, I doubt I got more'n a couple hours in."

Twistey stroked her boyfriend's hair. "I'm right here, Willis. You're safe, in your own bed, and there's no weasels in the RC." Kicking off her shoes, she slipped in to cuddle Willis. "Get some rest. I'll keep you safe."

It was then that the Ironic Overpower provided a BEEP!

Twistey was having none of her console's fuvg. "Console. Sleep is important. There comes a point at which your antics are no longer funny. If you don't let us sleep I'm rewiring you into a microwave. Understood?"

The console bipped in slightly terrified agreement.

"I'll get to you when we're both rested. Until then, no noise."

"Nice." Willis gave Twistey an affectionate nuzzle. "How'd you think of that?"

"Spend long enough in HQ and you're bound to hear that trick eventually. I think it was Jay who came up with it." Twistey wrapped her arms around Willis and smiled. "Let's get some rest. You need it."

Willis smiled back and reached over to turn out the light. "Yeah. With the workload here, I bet catching up on sleep'll do us both good."

"Love you, Willis." Twistey curled up against him, soaking in the warmth.

Willis tried to reply, but exhaustion overtook him before he could. Smiling softly, Twistey closed her eyes, snuggling up to him and letting her mind go blank. It took her a bit longer to drift off, her being less tired than him, but soon enough she, too, was sleeping peacefully.

Neither of them dreamed of weasels.
