“Night-night,” he said quickly, then closed his eyes.

Spluttering, I gaped from him to Gopher.

Propped up on his elbow in his spot on the floor, amusement lit the slimmer beast’s features.

“Think this is funny, do you? Look who’s on the floor!” My hoity toity, hah, take that look died a short death when Odix started up a nasal symphony of epic proportions.

Gopher’s smile turned downright wicked. “Odix nose gets plugged, Odix snores. Loud.”

Eyeing the beast snuggling me to death, I considered the possibility of smothering him with a pillow, if only briefly. I felt like I was sleeping next to a real live grizzly bear.

Gopher, watching me, patted the spot beside him.

“I’ll take my chances with the bear,” I grumbled at him, settling back down beside Odix.

Gopher’s soft chuckle was barely audible over the crazy sounds coming from Odix’s slack maw.

“He’s like a toddler or an old man, just drops off to sleep whenever, wherever,” I muttered, making Gopher chuckle once more.

“Morning, we get stone Bum-bum penis out of door,” Gopher murmured. It almost sounded like he was shuddering.

“It is kinda unnerving, isn’t it?” I mumbled, lifting up enough to eye that thing.

“It like it watches me,” Gopher whispered.

“Shut up.” A snort of a laugh left me.

“Look it! It do! Fat glitter head points at Gopher! Wants get Gopher, keep all penises ‘way!” Gopher went on, as if it was some creepy entity eyeball fucking him.

“You’re nuts.” A cackle of a snorted chortle left me.

Gopher kept on, until I cracked up so hard it woke Odix from a dead sleep.

“What? What happens?” Odix garbled out, his voice heavy with sleep.

“It watches!” Gopher cried out in mock terror.

Odix curled himself around me protectively and rolled us with a snarl. One moment I was one way on the bed, the next I was whirled around and pinned beneath a couple hundred pounds of half-awake Lo denaii in protective mode.

“What watches?” Odix snarled.

“The penis in the door,” I tried to grumble, laughter thick in my voice ruining the effect.

“No scare like that!” Odix snapped at him, jerking me back into his arms to flop us back right side up on the bed.

Again, within moments he was passed out and snoring like he owned a gold medal in nasal symphonies.

“Gopher?”

“Yes?” he purred.

“Toss that smelly old fucking boot outside before I scream,” I hissed, leaning into Odix to gently pinch the bridge of his nose.

Gopher chuckled his ass off as he stood to do my bidding.

It was almost like old times. Almost.
