Kiln fought her way from slumber with difficulty. All night dreams had plagued her, though upon waking all the details blurred out of memory. What remained was a feeling of unease and danger.
She whimpered softly and considered her options. Supposedly flipping a pillow would help, but that had never worked before. The best choice was probably to seek comfort in her partner.
She cuddled close to him, burying her face in his chest. His deep breaths were nice, each rise and fall of his chest brought some calm. He hardly stirred despite her movements. Still, she felt so exposed. Even close to him, that left her back facing whatever might be lurking.
She really didn't want to wake him, but she wanted to get some more sleep herself. So, with stealthy, gentle movements she slipped her hands into the leathery pouch that ran along his underside. She pulled it open gently and lifted her legs to get them inside one at a time. She wriggled her way in, feeling the stretchy exterior accommodate her bit by bit. In went her tail, then her torso, and finally her head and shoulders. She wiggled down to the bottom, feeling his body now enveloping her completely. The outer wall clung to her form, but the inner side was soft and cushioned her body as she curled up.
Yes, here she could relax. Guarded on all sides by her sleeping partner, she began to relax. Her breath matched his with ease, each one letting her rise and fall along with his chest. His heartbeat boomed softly somewhere above, very audible from her intimate vantage point.
When morning came, he woke up first. At first the lack of Kiln beside him was alarming, but he quickly noticed the pressure against his middle. He peeked under the blanket to see her curled form within his pouch. He lightly traced the outline of her face with his fingers then rubbed her shoulders and side. He didn't know why, but he was fine with giving her whatever she needed, even while he slept.
