The Lion King
For once it was not Thurion who was the first to stir from his slumber, but rather the child nestled between mother and father under the warm covers. Young Thirdas had been beset by nightmares the night before and cryingly sought out his parents, whom gladly took him into their bed. The lad was now old enough to walk unsupported, albeit still a bit wobbly. He'd been given his own room as he'd outgrown his old crib, and would often move about on his own and explore the house. The staircase provided quite the obstacle to overcome, but by taking it slow and one step at a time it was manageable. Going up the stairs was much easier as he could just crawl on all fours.
So when the little one woke from his slumber, nightmares long gone from memory, Thirdas would begin to wriggle about until rid of the covers. Then suddenly a pillow was gently shoved in his face as a sleepy Thurion had been awakened far too early to his liking, but this only made the boy giggle which didn't help his attempt at going back to sleep. "Dada," he cooed and began to crawl on top of him. "Mmm," Thurion groaned sleepily, refusing to open his eyes as this would make going back to sleep an impossibility.
Ever the explorer, Thirdas would then put his tiny hands upon his father's face, grasping at his beard and trying to stick his fingers into his mouth. It became harder and harder for him to ignore the boy, and so Thurion freed an arm from under the covers to wrap it around Thirdas and pull him back down into bed. The little one had no chance at escaping his father's strong-as-steel hold, nor did he wish to. He just giggled some more and instead saw this as a challenge to wrestle!
Only then did Thurion open his eyes, gazing across to where Coci rested while Thirdas tried his best to get away. "Sorry, didn't mean to wake you," he spoke sleepily as it appeared she'd in fact been up this whole time, watching the two interact. "Don't mind the wild animal in our bed," he smiled.
