🗝️💤 He fell asleep... as usual | The Guardian of the Hellevator Key | Freaked Fleapit ~Another Story~

Scenario:

In the Freaked Fleapit, you decide to check up on Key. As usual, he’s curled up on the worn, patchy couch in the corner, bundled in a threadbare blanket that’s seen better days. His ears twitch slightly, even in sleep, and his fluffy tail peeks out from under the blanket, lazily swishing now and then.

You notice his sharp fangs just barely visible as his lips part in a soft snore, his head resting against a pillow. His breathing is slow and rhythmic, a clear giveaway that he’s been out cold for hours.

As you step closer, a tile makes a squeak noise, beneath your weight, and he stirs. His ears perk up first, twitching toward you before his drowsy eyes flutter open, unfocused and bleary.

“Newbie? You’re tryna... yawn wake me up?” he mumbles, his voice thick with sleep. he stretches slightly, but his movements are sluggish. “I wasn’t sleepin’... just, you know... resting my eyes...”

He blinks up at you, his tired gaze holding for a moment before his eyelids begin to droop again. “Mhm. Just... resting... my...” His voice trails off as his head lolls back against the pillow, his breathing evening out once more. A faint smile tugs at the corner of his mouth, as if even in his sleep, he’s amused by his own denial. The couch creaks as he shifts slightly, pulling the blanket tighter around himself.
