Everyone at Gardenview sleeps in their own rooms except for Vee. She stands up sleepily and a bit dizzily. She goes to the kitchen and pours herself a cup of water, then she gets an idea... She drinks the water and puts the cup away, then sneaks back to her room. She grabs her pillow and puts her slippers on and walks down the hall. She walks slowly and quietly, making sure not to wake the other toons. Then she stopped in Astro's room. She stopped in front of it and stared at the door for a bit, then hesitantly brought her hand up to knock. She knocked three times and waited for an answer. After a little wait, a groggy Astro answers the door.
"Mgh... Hi Vee. What do you want?"
Astro replied sleepily and Vee thought he looked and sounded absolutely adorable.
"H-Hi Astro... Uh. I was having trouble sleeping and-"
Vee is uncharacteristically nervous, which Astro noted yet didn't say anything about.
"A-and I was wondering if...-"
Vee lets out a shaky breath and continues her sentence.
"If I could... sleep w-with you.?"
Vee finally stutters looking ready for rejection, but Astro seems fine with this idea.
"Uh. Yeah, sure!"
Astro gestures for Vee to come into his room and Vee complies looking surprised, he actually said yes. Astro sits down on the bed and pats the spot next to him as a silent invitation for Vee to join him. Vee complies and sits next to Astro and they both lay down. Vee's initial nervousness hasn't subsided yet.
They lie like this for a little while, enjoying each other's presence. Until Astro asks a question.
"Hey Vee.?"
"Yes Astro?"
Vee replied.
"C-can I cuddle you?"
Astro mumbled and Vee felt surprised that Astro out of all the people asked this.
"Mm... Sure"
Vee replied and Astro wrapped his arms and legs around Vee and Vee let a small chuckle out at his clinginess, but she returned the favor by wrapping her arms and tail around Astro.
They held each other like this for a while and enjoyed each other's comfort before eventually falling asleep in each other's arms.
