Still relevant but not chapter in the story Story 1 and 2
“…Captain?You’ve been working all day. First you were on deck and now you’re at your desk. Surely you can take a break. You need sleep.”
“No no, I’m fine. I just need to get this done.”
Hamster looked at Captain Kirkland. She saw big black bags under his eyes. His hair was messier than usual due to him constantly running his hand through his hair as he thinks.
Captain Kirkland was clearly exhausted, but he refuses to admit it and be done for the night. He clearly wanted to sleep, he was already dressed for bed, but he wanted to finish what he was working on, and it’s been three hours since he started.
“God D*MN IT! F*cking stupid mistake!”
With that he took the paper he was writing on and ripped it up. He was clearly angry and being tired only made him more upset.
With that, hamster had enough.”
Captain Kirkland was quiet startled. He never excepted resistance from his sweet hamster.
I beg your pardon!? You do NOT speak that way to me!”
Hamster stood up from her spot on the bed and confidently stride over to the captain of the ship. She pulled him up, dragged him to the bed, and threw him on it. She then took the papers on his desk and stuffed them in a drawer.
“There, out of sight, out of mind. You NEED sleep! You are clearly tired and grumpy! Continuing on will only mean you will make more mistakes, get more upset, and never be done for the night. You need to sleep!”
The whole time Hamster was ranting, Captain Kirkland just sat on the bed with a completely dumbfounded expression. No one on his ship has ever talked back to him before. This was new territory, but hamster was only doing so because she cares.
Hamster cares for him. He has forgotten what that was like.
“Now, what are you doing to do? Will you do to sleep like a good boy, or do I have to attack you with cuddles so you will sleep?”
Captain Kikrland chucked at the sight before him. There was his little hamster, so sweet and cute but with an angry expression on her face. She was standing straight and tall with her hands on her hips. How adorable.
“Alright, alright, I’ll give in. I’ll be a good boy and go to sleep.”
With that Hamster laied down beside the captain and let herself be a pillow.
“Goodnight Captain. Sweet dreams! I know you will be able to finish your work tomorrow. I believe in you.”
“Heh, goodnight my little hamster. Thank you for caring.”
The two cuddled under the blankets and slept peacefully for the rest of the night.
