Arthur and Mikhail

"I've been awake for a little bit now." said Arthur quietly, using his paws to bring Mikhail closer to his tummy.

Mikhail chuckled and let him do what he wanted. "Feel like going back now?"

Arthur sighed, "I don't know.." he said.

"Okay then, we can stay here for the morning if you want to, but I have to go soon…" Mikhail mumbled the last part a bit quietly.

"I'm coming with you this time" said Arthur, slowly letting him go.

"Oh, okay then." Mikhail replied, getting up into a sitting position again.

Arthur twisted back int his tummy, still pressed up against Mikhail's back.

Mikhail couldn't help but smile and he petted Arthur's head again.

Arthur smiled, nuzzling Mikhail's side.

"I love you," Mikhail said, gently petting his back.

Arthur growled contentedly, "Love you too.. "

Mikhail wanted to never get up again but he did after a few minutes, looking at the ocean.

Arthur whined slightly when he moved, contenting himself to get up and press against the other's side.

Mikhail chuckled and let Arthur do whatever he wanted. "I need to go…."

"Im coming with" said Arthur, still not bothering to shift.

"I know, let's go…" Mikhail mumbled, still a bit tired. "You might want to shift…"

Arthur oblidged, wrapping his arms around the other's shoulders and nuzzling into his neck.

Mikhail smiled, kissing his forehead. "Just how clingy are you when you wake up?"

"I don't know…" said Arthur into the other's neck.

Mikhail chuckled and let Arthur do whatever he wanted. "I say very clingy, what do you think?"

Arthur shrugged, not wanting to mention that he usually didn't sleep, and when he did he ended up in a whimpering, terrfied mess for hours.

Mikhail kissed his head again, hoping his dark circles weren't that visible.

Arthur finally lokked up at him with a smile, one that quickly turned to a frown when he saw how tired Mikhail looked. "Did you even sleep??" He asked softly.

Mikhail nodded. "Yes, I've had the dark circles for a long time."

"You've been hiding them…" said Arthur softly.

"Yea…." Mikhail admitted softly.

Arthur sighed, hugging the other. "You should sleep more…"

Mikhail hugged back, nodding at what Arthur had said. "I'll try."

Arthur smiled at him again, "We should get going to whereever it is you need to go…" he said.

Mikhail nodded before heading to where he thought Zyra would be, hoping he wasn't late or too early.
