“Ugh. I’m tired. Carry me.” it was more of a demand than a question. And given it

“Ugh. I’m tired. Carry me.” it was more of a demand than a question. And given it was the tiny porcupine dragging her feet with every step who said it, Johnny knew he better agree or else face her lack-of-suitable-caffeine wrath she complained about earlier. Stopping immediately in his tracks, Johnny kneeled next to Ash. “Sure,” he accepted the demand from his friend without nary a complaint much to the exhausted porcupine’s surprise. “…What? Seriously? I was just joking…well, partly anyway,” Ash chuckled, the low, sleepy sound causing a lump to form in the gorilla’s throat as she stared up at him with those heavily-lidded crystal blue eyes.Swallowing thickly and hoping his face didn’t look as hot as it felt, he smiled and offered the security of his arms anyway. “It’s no trouble. C’mon, it has been a long day.”A dozen different emotions flashed across Ash’s face before she finally settled on tired acceptance. Without saying a word, Ash walked into Johnny’s inviting (not to mention cozy as fuck looking) arms. Once in the cusp of his elbows, Johnny scooped her up and she fought back a squeak at the loss of gravity as the statuesque gorilla cradled her before standing to his full height. Almost immediately, Johnny continued the last mile until they reached her apartment where he’d been staying with her lately. During the first block, Ash was inwardly cursing Johnny’s truck for breaking down yesterday and Moon for his late rehearsal and making the bus impossible to take for this circumstance both found themselves in. But as the journey continued in Johnny’s arms, the plush sensation of his thick fur and the incredible musculature underneath made her forgive and forget both of them fairly quickly.“Is that better?” Johnny asked with a throaty chuckle that made her spines prickle pleasant along the back of her neck. Damn his thickly accented voice for always having that effect on her…Ash replied something intelligible in response. The sleepy declaration muttered into his as she weakly fought off inevitable slumber in Johnny’s ridiculously comfortable arms. Might as well take advantage of it, was her only thought as she curled further into his chest and her forehead rubbed tenderly across his furry cheek in feigned sleep.Johnny smiled down at the sleepy porcupine; his heart pounding against his sternum as his steps continued silently down the deserted street.…..Meh. I tried. I really need to get back into writing again, I think I’m forgetting how to do it. XD -- source link
