Recently, the calm home that had belonged to himself, Pincher, and Goldie had become very busy with four new little girls. Jacob adored all of them, obviously, but it was a little exhausting. He wasn't one to get much sleep anyway but it'd been even worse than usual. This morning, he'd gone out for a walk to stretch his legs a bit. Surely he'd feel a little more awake after a little morning walk. About halfway through, though, he told himself that if he just stopped for a minute to rest his legs, he'd be alright. They started to hurt anyway from all the work of walking through the sand. He settled down, letting his tail wrap around his paws. Before he really processed what he was doing, he settled down in the sand and let out a soft sigh. He'd just rest for a moment. Then he'd get up and finish the walk. He would just rest his eyes for a moment and let his legs rest and relax before the walk back. He knew it was a little short today but with how tired he was, he didn't think he could continue forward. However, as he laid out on the beach, the man's eyes drifted to sleep and a quiet snore came from him. While he may have told himself that he would only rest a moment, it was clear that unless he was disturbed, he wouldn't be moving for quite some time and he wouldn't be returning to his walk for even longer. He often had problems standing, or moving at all, right after sleeping but that didn't seem to bother him now. Now he was only concerned with resting on the beach, whose sand felt like a giant, shifting cloud.

Although Caesar technically didn't need sleep, this mortal body he possessed did, and unfortunately, taking naps (or, well, sleeping in general) was something the Officer didn't do often. So because oft that, his body was hella sleep deprived, and seeing the two Crewmates sleeping next to each other made him crave wanting to curl up next to them as well. Caesar mentally shook his head, forcing away that thought as he crept closer to Jacob and Vandal. "You two are lazy as hell." The demon commented with a snort.

✯ — YOUNG LOVERS AND THEY ARE NOT SLEEPING

captainpaw was definitely one of those children that fought to stay up when he felt tired. every. single. night. it must have drove planecrash to insanity the first few times he tried putting cap to bed, but eventually it worked out. all cap had to be told was to think up a story and share it, and eventually the own sound of his voice would put his already tired mind to sleep.

there were some odd times he took sudden naps. he couldn't make the connection yet that when he got excited, his eyes would roll back and he'd collapse for an unknown amount of time. sometimes things ujst went black and he would wake up at dusk. it was normal though, right?

captain hadn't exactly gotten the most peaceful nights sleep, unfortunately. the normal kitten nightmares of falling from a deathly height had jerked him awake, and he knew planecrash worked very hard and felt bad if he were to wake him up. he couldn't go back to sleep, though, and thus had laid in his bed until dawn started filtering through their den. he had left a bit earlier than normal when he began to get restless.

it was  pure coincidence, and a divine miracle, that he stumbled upon a group nap party. even when he hated naps, cap wouldn't turn this down. he sleepily, wordlessly stumbled toward the older pair and climbed on to of vandal. his body was still just small enough to fit in the small crease between her and jacob, and he began to purr at the cozy warmth they shared.

✯ — male. the typhoon. easy. REF. BIO. — ✯

Caesar looked almost disgusted by Vandal's offer, and the fact that Captainpaw went off to join them. The Officer's tail flicked irritably as he took note that his words practically meant nothing to Vandal, since she just shrugged them off by telling him to 'insult' them later. "Come on. There's work to be done." The demon tried again, this time using his 'authoritative' voice, as if that would do much here.

"Because I'm your superior." Caesar growled, looking down at Junior as he spoke. "It's my damn job to make sure you fucks do yours." Would he actually end up supervising them or doing the jobs himself? Nah, absolutely not.

Jacob let out a yawn, barely registering the addition of Vandal and Captainpaw to his little nap but then he heard a faint voice in the distance. A voice that didn't really frequent his dreams or his nightmares. Caesar was neither pleasant enough to frequent his dreams or scary enough to show up in his nightmares so the demon didn't visit Jacob's subconscious all that often, which made his especially weird. Jacob's eyes slowly opened, his eyelids still heavy. "Well, ya' ain't my superior no more," the words were slurred, almost as though he was in a haze of drunkenness but he was only entirely sleep deprived. "N' we're real tired so jus'... I dunno' go do whatever ya' do f-for-" he didn't even finished the sentence before his eyes closed once again and he yawned, settling down once again. He barely acknowledged anyone else in the area but he wanted Caesar and Junior to shut up so he could keep sleeping.
