(Hodari)-(Godzilla)
I look out towards the ocean, the moon and stars littered the sky, reflecting against the waters below. The sand was warm from the day and it was quite soft. The place barely had people, today was one of the nights it didn't have people at all, just beside the beach was a forest so I was quite covered from humanity. Not only that but I was on vacation, so no one cares that I am gone. I have been desperate for a break since Alan Jonah, he just reminds me so much of him, then meeting Mothra and going to hollow earth while being fun, isn't relaxing. I sighed, 'Don't focus on that, relax now.'
The waters were calm, the trees swayed behind me calmly, the critters were sleeping. I was laying down, using my tail as a pillow as well as the fur from my hands. Suddenly the waves sped up a bit, I got up to check it out, barely visible, there was a dark shadow in the waters, it was getting closer and larger, 'but it wasn't headed directly my way so it is fine.'
I sat up and just watched, it was definitely a titan, now that I can properly see the shadow, but the titans aren't bad, just means I have a chance of talking with a titan.
The figure rose from the waters and laid down a bit away from me, the remaining water rushing back to the ocean. It was none other than Godzilla, 'he looks tired, he has a few scars, maybe he had a fight recently, I shouldn't disturb him, I'll just continue relaxing' I laid back down and continued looking up at the stars.
After 30 minutes, I heard a bit of movement, I glanced at Godzilla, he was looking at me, like he was judging me, 'though he doesn't want to kill me, I'm good.' I looked back to the sky. After a few minutes, a crab crawled next to me, it rubbed its legs, creating a chirping noise, 'it wants to use my fur to sleep. And it also wants to brag?” I snorted “Heh, it can sleep on my head, my fluffy ears will do the trick'.
"Sure, you want to sleep on my head?" It waved with its claw. I got up and sat in a comfortable position, then I picked up the crab and placed it on my head. It used my coily hair to be able to stay still if I moved my head, 'smart crab,' I moved my ears so that it could use the fluff to sleep. I heard a low rumbling noise and turned, Godzilla had watched the entire thing play out and was amused. Sighing, I turned to the oceans and sky, since I can't turn my head up directly to the stars now.
"Tiny one, how are you now going to get the rest if another lies on your head?" He asked
‘ah…. Oh no.’ "I did not think this through… Guess I won't be sleeping tonight." I sighed
He chuckled in response, "Believe so.” Then his tone turned more serious, “So, you are not from here, what are your intentions to stay here?"
"It was not fully intentional to come here, what I usually do after travelling to another world is help it, let's say for here, I helped the humans a lot, before it wasn't the best. I have good intentions being here."
"Hm, how can you talk to me, or that creature?"
"I am not fully human, I am part cri-'he called critters creatures'- creature as well. Thus it is one of my abilities to understand creatures."
"So are you the one that freed the one who is many from their controllers?"
"Huh? The one who is many?..." Then I remember the first time I came here, 'Is he referring to Ghidorah?' "Um, yes, if you are talking about the one that was trapped in ice then yes, I was the one that freed them"
He rumbled, "what is the reason for that?"
"I just saw...better word is felt, I felt the control between them and their controllers, so I just freed them. There wasn't a true reason for freeing them."
He didn't say anything for a few minutes, "It is fine then, you can continue to stay as long as you don't do anything bad."
"Thank you", I turned back towards the oceans and skies, the moon shone brightly, brighter than normal.

'Okay, I am starting to regret letting it sleep on my head. I am getting increasingly sleepy but I don't want to lay down.' I yawned, using my tail to keep me staying up. I thought about many ways to not lay down but still sleep. Eventually while sitting, I rested my head on my knees while hugging my legs to stay sitting up. 'This is the best I'll get. Can't think of anything better that will be comfortable.' It had been a few hours. The nearby sand had cooled down so where I sat was the warmest place I knew I could go to. I sat there, not fully accepting sleep just in case I let go of the hug and lay down. I whined quietly, deciding to just use my tail to draw in the sand. Just as I was about to sleep, I heard a rumbling noise, but being too sleepy, I didn't check it out, just reminded myself to stay awake.
"Tiny one, why do you torment yourself?"
"Hm? Ah" I fidgeted with my tail "this is the crabs home, I cannot leave and find a place to sleep. Also if I lay down, the crab might slip and fall, also I want to fulfill its wish to sleep using my fur."
He didn't respond for a bit, my eyes grew heavy, I am a big cat, my urges to just sleep are overridden by the crab but I am slowly losing.
"How about you rest next to me? That way you don't leave its home."
I was surprised, for a few seconds I looked towards the ocean, but because of my sleepiness I didn't think about it too hard, or at all, 'sleep is sleep.' "Thank you so much." I got up and walked up to him, I sat down near the shoulder-neck and leaned against his shoulder. In a few seconds, I was out like a light. He let out a low rumble in response.
