Wa… just let me sleep longer… I don't want to go back out…
…
…
…
…!
Opening my eyes wide, I'm met with an abyss of blue fur wrapping gently around me.
While being confused with this sight I can hear the familiar sounds of the shelter exit opening!
'FUCK! Did I fall asleep?! How the hell did I let that happen?!
Pushing myself up I can feel Inv's fur easily let me go from its embrace. The only problem is…
'His arms really are steel rods…'
I can feel Inv's arms still wrapped around me. With them wrapped around me, I'm not really able to move much because of how sturdy they are!
Giving up on trying to lift myself up I decide to raise my head out of his fur at least.
Finally lifting my head away from the vision of blue fur, I see I was right underneath Inv's head. My face must've been buried in his neck the whole time…
'Wait this isn't the time to think about that!'
Not able to keep lifting my head I let it fall back down onto Inv's neck.
"Inv! Get up!" I look upwards towards Inv's head trying to wake him up.
"Hehe… don wory Joey… I protec u…" instead of waking up I hear Inv mutter this out.
…
Is… is he talking in his sleep? What the heck is he dreaming about?
I feel a bit flattered that he's dreaming about me but now is not the time for that!
"Inv, c'mon! You have to wake up!" I say this a bit more loudly this time hoping this will wake him up.
…
"U cen alwa ge up on me Joey…" I hear Inv mutter this in his sleep.
'What the hell is he dreaming about?! And of course he's such a heavy sleeper!'
While I would like to keep listening to what Inv says in his sleep… ok, that was weird, but I'm just curious since it includes me!
I want to listen, but he needs to wake up!
I don't want to yell but at this point it looks like the only choice I have…
Preparing myself to yell, I can only hope he won't respond negatively to it. Worst case scenario, he crushes me to death since he still has me in an iron lock grip.
After a moment I finally yell.
"INV GET UP!" I yell loudly, hearing my voice echo off the walls of the shelter.
…
Still hearing Inv's snores even after yelling like that, I'm left flabbergasted. How deep of a sleeper is he?!
Getting desperate I start trying to wiggle myself out of Inv's hold but fail miserably.
Yelling hasn't worked. I'm not strong enough to get out of his hold as well… am I just going to have to wait until he wakes up?
…
No, of course I can't do that! I don't know how much time we have this cycle to get food and knowing that Inv needs a lot to just not starve a cycle, every second counts!
"INV GET THE HELL UP NOW!" I yell while trying to wiggle free.
But I get the opposite result of getting free by Inv pulling me even closer to him.
"Mmm su warmmm"
Burrrrr~
At this point I start growing annoyed at how heavy a sleeper Inv is. How the heck did he ever wake up before I met him?!
If it weren't for the fact that we had to eat i would be completely OK with this!
…
Feeling more time slowly going by I come up with one final plan to wake Inv up.
'Damn it… I don't want to hurt Inv right now but he's leaving me no choice!'
I'll deal with the consequences afterwards, but I'd rather not let the both of us die due to starvation because Inv wouldn't wake up!
Raising my head up I open my mouth wide, getting ready to bite down on Inv's neck.
'I really hope he doesn't hurt me…'
I wouldn't be surprised if he did however. I'm sure he wouldn't do it on purpose, since I'm waking him up like this…
Knowing fully well that I might get hurt by this, I still decide to go through with it.
Giving myself another moment to prepare, I finally drop my head towards Inv's neck.
CHOMP*
Immediately after my bite I can hear a loud yelp from Inv.
Closing my eyes I brace myself for whatever happens next.
…
…
…
Instead of what I expected though… I hear a loud yawn come out of Inv's mouth?
"Mmm… Joey… ef u wnted tu bit me u culda jus wok me up~" I hear Inv say in a low voice.
Completely caught off guard by what Inv just said I find myself in silence for a moment…
…
Realizing what I'm doing, I finally let go of Inv's neck that I've been biting down on for a bit.
"H-hold on Inv that's not why I bit your neck!" I look up towards Inv who's finally awake and looking down towards me.
"O-oh? Den y di u bit me?" Inv asks with confusion and a hint of disappointment.
Noticing that hint I respond back.
"Wait Inv! I definitely want to bite yo-
I stop myself from continuing realizing how crazy that sounds. I don't have time to tell Inv that I want to bite him all over! We have to eat!
"I-I bit you because you wouldn't wake up no matter what I did! You are… a very, deep sleeper" I say back to Inv trying to push down the hot burn in my face from what I almost said before.
Hearing me say this Inv's eyes open slightly wider in what I assume is understanding.
"I wa slepin???" Inv says this and looks up bending his head in ways that shouldn't be possible looking around the shelter.
I stay quiet as I watch him do this. I can only wonder why he seems surprised by this.
"Dat weard… tere's nu wawer?" Inv questions to himself while slighting cocking his head.
Hearing him say this it finally clicks onto why he's acting like this!
In almost every shelter from what I can remember, while playing Inv's campaign most of them would always have a shelter failure. While only a few of them wouldn't, with the one were in right now being one of them.
Coming to this conclusion I see Inv look back down at me with a guilty look.
