KJ

"Late," he offered, not truly sure.

He snatched Sam's soda can and took a swig himself. "Should we head to bed? Where's our Asian anyway?"

His eyes glanced over the room once as an effort, then he motioned to Monica to follow him upstairs. "I'll show you your bed now, got distracted earlier."

Together they climbed the stairs, Monica giving Sam a wave good night. KJ led her to the other available bedroom and she saw two twin sized beds with their heads put together in the corner.

"Kinda tight," KJ admitted, closing the door. "But the beds are damn comfortable."

He proceeded to remove his shirt and pants, revealing green boxers beneath that contrasted in a Christmas-like way with his skin. Monica remained by the door, tense for some reason and he faced her, eyebrow raised. "Gunna lay down? Get in your PJ's? What?"

"Nothing," she muttered, taking a step forward and gesturing to the beds. "Which...which one's mine?"

KJ pointed to the one beside the wall. He preferred the one under the window.

Sinking down, her pulled the blue comforter over his body and turned away from Monica. He felt better already, not having slept properly in days. His eyes closed and he listened as Monica shuffled around the room a moment, perhaps undressing or fixing the blanket a certain way, and then slipping into the bed. Their heads were close together, so KJ whispered, "Night Human," before drifting off to a quick sleep.
