Argos sighed, the Man was finally dealt with, and he had even gotten pictures of the black hole! When he finally took a moment to look around the motel room, however, he must have panicked so much he hadn’t realized before now.
There was only one bed.
-
Mr. Plant noticed that there was only one bed in the room he had booked.
“Mr. Plant? I uh, I noticed the bed situation. I can sleep on the floor if you want, since it’s only one night, and—“
Mr. Plant put a finger to Argos’ lips, shaking his head.
Argos looked at Mr. Plant, confused. What did he mean? Mr. Plant *certainly* wasn’t sleeping on the floor, so Argos had to, it was plain as day!
Mr. Plant pointed to Argos, then himself, then the bed.
Argos gasped a little, his complexion similar to the color of the Present’s insides. “Are— are you sure? If you—“
Mr. Plant nodded.
Argos sighed, looking away. “I’ll go get ready then.” He took his clothes, and left to the restroom.
-
Argos re-entered the room after a time that was longer than normal, and if he wasn’t short of breath when he went in, he was now. “Oof, my back is really getting to me!”
Mr. Plant stared at Argos.
“Fine, my ribs hurt too. But I *really* don’t want to take it off…”
Mr. Plant’s stare intensified. He took off his sweater, revealing his undershirt, and handed the sweater to Argos.
“Fine,” Argos huffs. He went back into the restroom and came out again, with Mr. Plant’s *ginormous* sweater on. Argos hopped into bed, and Mr. Plant followed.
“Goodnight, Mr. Plant.”
Mr. Plant nodded at Argos. He turned off the light, and they both slept very well.
Goodnight, everyone.
