Lizard photoshoot (I made a long lizard because my hands often hurt when I'm trying to sleep and it helps to rest them on something curved, but small things get lost easily so I just made a huge skink. Can also be tucked between my knees for optimal side sleeping, be used as a neck pillow for chill napping, or tucked under an arm to help support my shoulder). I was inspired by @rthwrms 's creature that I think was an ergonomics buddy too

💕 Grumpy Rindou usually doesn’t go to sleep until about 3 am or some other ungodly hour and wonders why he’s so rundown.

💕 Grumpy Rindou reminds you of a grouchy cat who’s been woken up from the best nap of his life. Now you’ve changed his name in your contacts to “Grumpy Kitty”.

💕 Grumpy Rindou grumbles when you come to wake him up and drags you into bed with him so he can cuddle with you. Who cares if you’re late to work?

💕 Grumpy Rindou’s hair is a mess when he eventually decides to roll out of bed and it faintly reminds you of a Trolls doll with how much it sticks out in every existing direction.

💕 Grumpy Rindou sleeps on an ergonomic pillow for his back and neck pain.

💕 Grumpy Rindou complains very dramatically about the bed being cold when you get up and leave him.

💕 Grumpy Rindou buries himself in your blanket because it smells like you and he doesn’t want to leave.

💕 Grumpy Rindou rolls around in bed to dodge Ran’s attempts to shake him awake and falls off the bed.

💕 Grumpy Rindou just wants to spend time with you.

Duet, Pt 8

McKay had likely been en route to his quarters when Sheppard caught up with him, and next we get to see his private living space for the first time on the show. We don't get to see them a lot. We see his quarters only three additional times, all in the fifth season (McKay talks with Teyla in his quarters in The Seed S05E02, takes a bath in Broken Ties S05E03, and stands in front of a mirror in Tracker S05E09). So, there must be some reason for showing him here, in his own private space, now.

McKay enters, takes off his jacket and ear piece, falling straight to his bed face first and apparently going out like a light.

We don't actually see a whole hell of a lot. He has a dresser, diplomas and possibly certificates of awards on his walls, some photos (not of other people), a photo of the only pussy he cares for on his bed side table, an apple, a large jug (for water?). He also has a new ergonomic mattress. All of this he brought with him from Earth on the Daedalus because the first time, they were allowed one personal item (we never do find out what his one item had been). But it's important to note that this is not what his quarters looked like before they left for Earth. These aren't even necessarily the same quarters that he (they) had then (although the way Sheppard was hanging out by them suggests that these were the quarters they had shared before it all went wrong) but even so, his quarters would have looked different before they revisited Earth.

Now, there's nothing in his room that screams Sheppard in particular, and that's the point. At this time in their relationship, there shouldn't be any--and that's why it's safe to show it to us now. There's a tac vest slung over McKay's chair, but that's just as likely to be his own (although why he would have brought it into his room is anyone's guess, he probably shouldn't be allowed to do that and the tac vest that he was wearing on the planet earlier was probably taken off of him and returned to the armoury; but then again, he rumpled up his jacket and threw it likewise on the chair). Also note that McKay, like Sheppard has seemingly been doing, goes to sleep in his clothes without bothering to undress. Sure, he's tired but this also doesn't seem like the first time he's done this. But this also is not how he usually sleeps, this is a more recent development.

There is a photo on his desk that appears to be of two people of nearly equal height, one of whom has darker hair than the other. It's impossible to see who are in the photo but given what we know of his childhood, it's doubtful that he would keep a constant reminder of his parents on his desk. He is also estranged from his sister at this time, so he probably wouldn't have photos of her. They likely also had no means of taking photographs during their first year in Pegasus, or else we never saw them neither take nor develop photos.

One option is that this is a photo from Sheppard's promotion. This might be supported by it rhyming with the fact that we see a photo of Cadman's promotion or graduation later in her room. She has family, she has people in her life, as we see from the various photos littering her space. He does not. We can't know for certain if this is a photo of himself and Sheppard he has on his desk, but it would make the most sense if that is what it was. Also, it's shot from the neck up which suggests that both people are men.

McKay lays flat on his stomach on the bed, where previously we have seen him sleep in his side. This makes him take up a bigger portion of the bed than if he were spooning with someone, and this obscures the fact that this bed is bigger than the one we see in Sheppard's quarters. This bed fits two people who like to sleep spooning snugly, and his bed seems to be the same size as Cadman's bed that we see later but because they are shot from a different angle, her bed seems wider. McKay's bed also seems to have two pillows even though one of them is currently at the foot of the bed. Now, we see him fall asleep fully clothed here while we later see him "in the buff" in Cadman's bed, in Cadman's space, and are given an explanation that his nudity there is Cadman's influence. We get a chance to see him naked under the covers with the explanation that this is all Cadman, not as himself. But McKay probably doesn't usually sleep fully clothed, either. Or he didn't, before.

Having fallen asleep and turning his brain off, this seems to give Cadman an opportunity to get behind the wheel and drive McKay's body, and she seizes the opportunity. And we see an immediate change in his body language. This is not the body language of an effeminate man and definitely is not the body language of a gay man, this is the body language of a woman in a man's body. And this woman in a man's body seems to have plans.

Cadman feels up McKay's chest to only to find her breasts gone, and this is the first violation of McKay's physical integrity. She feels up his erogenous zone without his consent, never mind that he never consented to give her free use of his body to begin with. Even with a distinct lack of breasts Cadman unzips his shirt to show off his non-existent cleavage because she appears to have designs on what to do now that he can use McKay's body to do what ever she likes. And while we saw very little interaction between Cadman and Beckett out on the field (there, Cadman seemed more interested in talking to McKay about Katie Brown, for some reason real interested in her love life), she suddenly seems to really want him. Like, really want him.

Now, I've written about the Ancients and people with the Ancient gene having this physical pull due to their assortative mating strategy that just makes people with the gene attractive to one another. And while McKay considers Beckett his best friends, likely knows that he's (at least mostly) straight and isn't interested in him like that, now that Cadman is in McKay's body, Beckett seems irresistible to her, all of a sudden. Previously, back in the field, Cadman ignored Beckett in favour of talking about her friend to McKay. Now that she's in his body that has the artificially activated ATA gene, she's willing to full-on violate the bodily autonomy of the chief scientist of Atlantis to get her some of that. This change in her disposition toward Beckett as she changed bodies is pretty telling with regards to this Ancient attraction.

Taking McKay out for a spin, she heads up to Beckett's lab and pretends to be his friend. Beckett, that is, thinks he's speaking with McKay, and his reactions here are pretty interesting. McKay does not seem at all like himself, and Beckett does seem to be weirded out by his behaviour but it's also pretty interesting that he does not for one moment seem to doubt that this is, in fact, McKay. And to be sure, we have seen McKay act like a bitchy queen on a couple of occasions (The Defiant One S01E12, the end of Rising S01E02, his scenes with Peter Grodin), once even with Beckett himself, so while he is rather carefully maintaining masculine performance around the military types in order to protect any non-heterosexual servicemen, it's not as though he's incapable of behaving in this manner when he feels secure and like he's not jeopardizing anyone's military career by casting aspersions on their characters through contact or proximity.

All things considered, it's pretty interesting that McKay's best friend, who knows that he's currently sharing a brain with another person who just so happens to be a woman, does not doubt that this is McKay. So this must be in-character for the McKay he knows. Beckett, his best friend, thinks that he is speaking with McKay:

Cadman: Busy? Beckett: No, no. Come in. How are you feeling? Cadman: Fine. Beckett: Really? Cadman: Hmm. Mainly because of Cadman. She's calming, you know? Between you and me, I am damned lucky it was her.

What's interesting here is that while earlier Cadman told McKay to be cool and he told Sheppard that he was not cool, here Cadman tells Beckett that McKay is fine where McKay is, despite what he may just have told Sheppard, anything but fine.

Beckett: Should you, uh...? Cadman: Oh, she's asleep. Can't hear a thing.

Here, she actually tells Beckett that it's possible for one of them to be completely turned off, and Beckett still does not doubt that he's talking and interacting with McKay here. Even as McKay touches him in a way that seems to weird him out, he doesn't suspect him. Also note: Beckett now thinks that they're in private, that he's having a private conversation with McKay. He thinks that Lieutenant Cadman, a military officer, is not listening in on them. This being the case, we learn something real interesting:

Cadman: Hey, you wanna do me a favour? You know, you wanna ride shotgun on this date tomorrow night? Beckett: With Doctor Brown? Cadman: Katie. Beckett: You're going through with it? Cadman: Well, I've cancelled on her so many times. I don't wanna mess this up.

First, Beckett calls her "Dr Brown" because apparently that's what McKay has been referring to her as with Beckett, if they have ever talked about her at all. Doctor Brown is a member of the science team, and apparently Beckett thinks McKay had been joking about going out with her. He thinks he has to be joking now. Beckett thinks that McKay actually going out with a woman has to be pulling his leg. He had just been fucking with Cadman earlier, right? Beckett says "You're going through with it?" with the incredulity of someone who has no idea why his gay best friend is actually going to go out on a date with a woman.

And also. Here we learned that McKay has canceled on Katie Brown multiple times. So many times. And Cadman knows about this. McKay has canceled on Katie Brown so many times that she's discussed this at ladies' poker night. All in all, it seems like Katie Brown has been the one asking McKay out for dinner, and McKay has been turning her down with ever flimsier excuses. He was going to turn her down now. Even Cadman could tell McKay was going to turn her down because she wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble to make sure the date happens if she'd believed it would. Now, she thinks McKay is too chickenshit to make it happen, that he's messing it up because he just doesn't understand women. It doesn't occur to her that he might be messing it up on purpose. Beckett seems bewildered by this.

Beckett: But what do you want me to do? Cadman: Listen, I don't think it's any big secret that I am terrible with women. Having someone there to cut me off when I start making a fool of myself would be a great help. I'd consider it a personal favour.

So, Beckett laughs out loud when McKay says it's not a secret that he's terrible with women. Beckett knows his secret, knows just why he is terrible with women (in the sense that he regards and treats women rather awfully, not that he couldn't get one if he wanted to, as it seems like women working for him frequently want to fuck him). But he also seems a little bit freaked out by McKay's proposal here because he's not going to have sex with her on his behalf. Like, he can help a mate out but he draws the line in having sex with a woman that wants to have sex with McKay just so the man can keep his secret, maintain his cover. There's a line to how good of a friend he is and Beckett just discovered where it is. Beckett's "What do you want me to do?" most definitely holds the implication that he thought McKay wants him to do things with Katie Brown that he doesn't want to do, to get physical with her on his behalf.

Note also her use of the phrase personal favour here. Earlier, McKay described having to go on a date with a woman with a woman's consciousness trapped in his brain as his own personal hell. This, here, is most definitely a part of that hell. And Beckett has to really believe McKay is a friend in need that he actually agrees to go through with this. He doesn't know what McKay is on about but he does know his gay best friend cannot survive dinner with a woman that clearly wants to fuck him without a chaperone. He's not agreeing to go because he's expecting a threesome, he's not agreeing to go because he thinks he can help McKay score. He's agreeing to go as a chaperone. He's going to run interference for McKay.

Before turning to leave, Cadman again touches Beckett by patting him on the chest and here she manages to violate the physical boundaries of two men at the same time. As a doctor, Beckett is more used to non-sexual touching than most people but this is not the way that his gay best friend has ever touched him before. He is definitely weirded out by this. But still he has no doubts that he was just talking with McKay. Cadman attempts to make this a manly pat here, performing masculinity and manhood as she understands it. This is meant to cover up for the gentler touch earlier, to convince Beckett that he is talking with a man. Only, Cadman is not a man and hence can only give her approximation of manhood.

Furthermore, she's not even attempting to actually perform McKay here, as she does not know him well enough to perform him effectively. Now, while Beckett senses that something is not quite right, he still does not suspect that this is not McKay. But it's almost certain that this performance would never have worked on Sheppard. Sheppard knows McKay so well that he would have caught her immediately. Earlier in the lab, Sheppard was the first to notice when McKay started acting strangely and just before in the hallway he could tell McKay wasn't alright just from his back, without even seeing his face. Here, he very likely would have clocked something being off before McKay had said a single word just from the way he walked, how he stood with a hand on his hip. Sheppard knows McKay, and it has nothing to do with how masculine or effeminate he's acting. He knows McKay because he has observed him intimately. He knows McKay better than his best friend knows him. There is only one reason for something like that.

Tips for Improving Your Posture and Reducing Back Pain

Good posture is essential for maintaining a healthy spine and reducing the risk of back pain. Whether you’re working at a desk, standing, or sleeping, maintaining proper posture can prevent discomfort and enhance overall well-being. Here are some tips to help you improve your posture and reduce back pain.

Understand the Basics of Good Posture

Neutral Spine

Good posture involves maintaining the natural curves of your spine: cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), and lumbar (lower back). Avoid slouching or overarching.

Alignment

Ensure your head, shoulders, and hips are aligned. Your ears should be over your shoulders, and your shoulders should be over your hips.

Improve Your Sitting Posture

Use an Ergonomic Chair

Choose a chair that supports the natural curve of your spine. Adjust the height so your feet are flat on the floor, and your knees are at a right angle.

Support Your Lower Back

Use a small cushion or a rolled-up towel to support your lower back. This helps maintain the natural lumbar curve.

Adjust Your Workstation

Keep your computer screen at eye level to avoid neck strain. Your keyboard and mouse should be within easy reach to prevent leaning forward.

Enhance Your Standing Posture

Distribute Your Weight

Stand with your weight evenly distributed on both feet. Avoid leaning on one leg or slouching.

Engage Your Core

Tighten your abdominal muscles to support your spine. This helps maintain a neutral spine and reduces strain on your back.

Wear Supportive Shoes

Choose shoes with proper arch support. Avoid high heels or flat shoes that don’t provide adequate support.

Improve Your Sleeping Posture

Choose the Right Mattress

A medium-firm mattress supports your spine's natural alignment. Avoid mattresses that are too soft or too firm.

Use a Supportive Pillow

Your pillow should keep your neck in line with your spine. Side sleepers may need a thicker pillow, while back sleepers should use a thinner one.

Sleep Positions

Sleep on your back or side to maintain proper spine alignment. Avoid sleeping on your stomach, as it can strain your neck and lower back.

Strengthen Your Core Muscles

Exercise Regularly

Engage in exercises that strengthen your core muscles, such as planks, bridges, and abdominal crunches. A strong core supports your spine and improves posture.

Practice Yoga and Pilates

These disciplines focus on core strength, flexibility, and posture. Incorporate yoga or Pilates into your routine to enhance overall posture and reduce back pain.

Incorporate Movement Throughout the Day

Take Breaks

Avoid sitting or standing in one position for extended periods. Take short breaks every 30 minutes to stretch and move around.

Stretch Regularly

Incorporate stretches that target your neck, shoulders, back, and hips. Regular stretching helps relieve tension and maintain flexibility.

Use a Standing Desk

Consider using a standing desk or a sit-stand desk converter to alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day.

Be Mindful of Your Posture

Check Your Posture

Regularly assess your posture by checking your alignment in a mirror. Make adjustments as needed to ensure you’re maintaining a neutral spine.

Use Posture Reminders

Set reminders on your phone or computer to check and correct your posture throughout the day. Posture apps and wearable devices can also help monitor your alignment.

Practice Good Posture Habits

Be mindful of your posture in everyday activities, such as walking, driving, and lifting objects. Make a conscious effort to maintain good posture in all situations.

Conclusion

Improving your posture is a crucial step in reducing back pain and enhancing your overall well-being. By incorporating these tips into your daily routine, you can support your spine, alleviate discomfort, and promote better posture habits. How do you maintain good posture?

Soak in Comfort: The Rising Trend of Bathtub Cushions for Adults

A soothing bath is one of the best things to enable adults juggling long days at work, parenting responsibilities, or health challenges to relax. Let's be honest though-the traditional tubs with cold and hard surfaces aren't the most comfortable places to lie down to soak for a long time. Have you ever settled into a bath only to feel stiff after just ten minutes because of discomfort? This is when adult bathtub cushions come in. Good for greater comfort and support, these cushions may turn an ordinary bath into a restorative spa-like experience. Other than comfort, safety in bathroom is also obtained with it since slips and falls are prominent bathroom injuries.

Let's explore why bathtub cushions are a must-have and discover how products such as the Softside Bathtub Cushion have innovative solutions both in comfort and safety.

Bathing: A Simple Pleasure Made Better

To most adults, a bath is not about hygiene but rather a short bit of time between unending chases. Lacking in most tubs of bathing water is the ergonomic support that would otherwise make that difficult to achieve. Hard surfaces will press upon the back of one's neck and shoulders, thereby making sore and hence not refreshed. This is why bathtub cushions for adults have gained popularity among those who enjoy more than just what the experience of bathing has to offer.

While towels or pillows normally shift around and absorb, these cushions are engineered to stay in place and absorb moisture. Softside Bathtub Cushion is but one example of soft, waterproof cushioning that cradles the body for more comfortable soaking. Relief is found where it is needed most-be it recovering from a long day at work or in the case of chronic pain-by the appropriate cushion.

Safety in Bathroom: An Essential Priority

In addition to comfort, safety in bathroom is a very important factor for adults-especially those with disabilities, back problems, or injuries. The flooring of most bathrooms has a slippery condition; trying to reach awkward positions in order to comfortably stay inside them increases the likelihood of falling. According to the National Institute on Aging, a vast number of injuries occurring each year occur within the bathroom so product lines that address this risk need to be included as well.

On top of comfort, a Bathtub Safety Cushion offers stability. The suction cups make it place firmly so that you don't move around helplessly every time you change position. This makes them particularly helpful for someone with problematic balance or restricted mobility.

Innovative Bathtub Cushion Designs: What to Look For

A bathtub cushion for adults doesn't have to be an aesthetic choice, as function does precede; on the other hand, here are a few crucial attributes it may possess:

Waterproof Material: A premium cushion, such as Softside Bathtub Cushion, consists of quick-drying and mildew-resistant materials so the hygiene and durability can be maintained.

Ergonomic Support: Opt for cushions which focus specifically on the neck, back, and tailbone. Memory foam is a great option as it will conform to your body.

Anti-Slip Suction Cups: Safety should be paramount in any bathroom, and a strong suction cup is quite essential for holding the cushion firmly onto the tub surface

Easiness to Clean: A low-maintenance bathtub cushion is just a non-stick option that can be easily cleaned- even if used several times, keeping it fresh.

All these factors are kept in mind by an innovative bathtub cushion to provide comfort that is both safe and convenient .

The Emotional Value of a Comfortable Bath

The relaxing bath is not just about the comfort of the body; sometimes it can be related to emotional comfort. The time spent in the bathroom amidst waters does not only rejuvenate but for most people, it is a silent moment of solitude. Perhaps disconnection from the stresses of life and reconnect with oneself could be what happens there. Well, when this kind of discomfort creeps into your bathroom time, then it is annoying rather than a relaxing pastime.

When you're using a Softside Bathtub Cushion, you heighten the emotional experience of bathing without any impact. You sink into that warm bath knowing your neck and lower back are cushioned for comfort, at such a deep level. The small change adds great impact with turning routine baths into mindful, self-care rituals.

Who Benefits from Bathtub Cushions?

Though these can be recreational comforters to anyone, the real benefits of adult bathtub cushions are directed towards the following customers:

Individuals with chronic pain: Cushions provide pressure relief and help alleviate tension in the neck and back.

Adults recovering from injury or surgery: A bathtub safety cushion offers stability, making baths more accessible during recovery.

Older adults: Safety and comfort are paramount for seniors, and a high-quality cushion ensures they can bathe comfortably and confidently.

Busy professionals and parents: For those juggling multiple responsibilities, a relaxing bath can be a rare luxury—one that’s worth enhancing with the right accessories.

Making the Right Choice: Softside Bathtub Cushion

Softside Bathtub Cushion is a new product developed based on the demands of modern users. It's a combination of ergonomic design and easy maintenance that is front and centre for anyone who'd like to elevate their bath experience. Whether it's stress relief or pain management, or if a person just wants pure self-indulgence, this cushion is designed to give you the support and comfort you need to turn each bath into pure delight.

What's more, while relaxation is one of the main features of the Softside Bathtub Cushion, it also shows safety in bathroom. It has anti-slip suction cups and durable, waterproof material which keeps you secure and comfortable in your bath. It is not merely luxury-it is an essential feature in your wellness routine.

Conclusion

Living a busy life makes it hard to give some time to self-care. You will find how much time it takes by truly unplugging with one of the easiest ways-to a bath time. However, this is quite a hassle when there aren't proper accessories to utilize. Which is why bathtub cushions for adults have been such a success: they promote comfort, contribute to the achievement of an easier state of rest, and make the bathroom easy and safe. In all these reasons, products such as the Softside Bathtub Cushion can be fine examples of innovative and practical responses to busy, health-conscious adults' needs.

Do you ever feel stiff after a bath or worry about slipping while trying to relax? The moment is upon you to get hold of a bathtub safety cushion. The right cushion will make every bath an opportunity to recharge comfortably, safely, and effortlessly. So, go ahead and soak in comfort. Discover the transformative power of a truly relaxing bath.

All right Tumblr, please deliver.

Is it just me who wakes up several times a night while using an ergonomic pillow that I know is being good for my neck and shoulders but it triggers so much brain activity that staying asleep is impossible?

I woke up a few times last night, most notably around 5 when I simply couldn't fall asleep again. Had to turn on my fan (yes I know it's Fall, it should be cold, I am ridiculously sensitive to temperature) and take extra melatonin drops and it still cost me an hour or two to fall back asleep - sleep that got interrupted again by brain activity.

And yet, I feel fairly okay. But good gods do I miss the days of sleeping in one go and waking up eehhh refreshed enough.

Surprisingly, my stress levels are also quite low (so no, it's not that waking me up). Tried nixing coffee intake, didn't help.

I don't know what more to try to sleep. It's been nearly two weeks of this. I want to sleep through the night again 😭

Howdy howdy, Ann! Happy Friday! How about a prompt from your romantic yearning list, for anyone? "i sleep better when you’re around". (I'm partial to the modern thedas roommates AU, but I love your writing in general!) Have fun!

Here’s more Fenders from the modern!Thedas AU for @dadrunkwriting !

The strange thing about Fenris was how easily he fit into the cracks in Anders’ life.

Nothing about Anders’ living situation really changed when he moved into Fenris’ place. Sure, he wasn’t in his old flat and his commute was cut down by a good ten minutes, but his lifestyle hadn’t changed much at all. He worked long hours, took care of his cat, did his volunteer jobs, spent time with his friends, fought with Fenris regularly, and the world kept spinning.

But things did change. They were small at first: Fenris offered grumbled commentary like “your coffee mug is ridiculous” in the morning, or raised his eyebrow when Anders shoved a sugar-glazed pastry into his mouth and jammed the crinkly silver wrapper into the pocket of his scrubs. Then slightly bigger things happened: Fenris got him a replacement cat mug when Pounce knocked one off the counter. Fenris moved the cat tree into the sunlight so Pounce could sleep in his hammock while basking. Fenris left out fresh fruit to accompany Anders’ toaster pastries.

And then Anders bought Fenris a plane ticket so the man could take care of his mother when she fell ill and their worlds fundamentally shifted. He couldn’t see Fenris as a combative asshole anymore. Or, to be more precise, Anders had to acknowledge that Fenris wasn’t just a combative asshole who could sometimes have a good point about things. Fenris was… complicated, and Anders knew that he wasn’t the easiest person to understand either. So of course the moment the two of them weren’t ignoring each other or starting up petty fights, the moment they were actually on the same page and were starting to get along-

Well of course Anders fucked the man! Wasn’t his fault that Fenris was handsome and good in the sack. But it was a bit short-sighted on his part, because the next day Fenris flopped out of bed and made breakfast for both of them. He complained that Anders left hickeys on his neck and the only shirt that would cover it was the “horrible shirt Isabela bought.” He walked around in boxers and a tank top and his hair was a nug’s nest and Anders wanted to make a scrapbook and document every last second.

Love was funny like that. Nothing changed, really. But everything had. Anders turned over in his bed, sighed, and grabbed a pillow. He scooted off the bed and stumbled around in the dark until he found the doorknob, then shuffled down the hall until he reached Fenris’ door. Pounce emerged from the darkness and trilled at him before winding around his legs. The moment the door opened he disappeared into the darkness, playfully smacking his tail against Fenris’ bare calf.

He probably snuck in Fenris cuddles without Anders’ knowledge, the little traitor.

“… Anders?” Fenris mumbled, his eyes bright and glowing in the darkness as he stared up and down at him. Anders clutched the pillow he carried to his chest.

“Couldn’t get comfortable,” he explained. “I… sleep better when you’re around.” It was nice to have Fenris there. It felt safer. And maybe Fenris felt the same way, because he shuffled away from the door and ushered Anders inside.

“I have extra pillows,” Fenris remarked when Anders took the left side of the bed and slipped under the covers.

“This one’s ergonomic,” Anders replied with a yawn. Pounce padded over to him and curled up behind his neck, as if he was apologizing for being a rotten little brat who sneakily stole Fenris cuddles.

“… hmm,” Fenris joined him in bed, easily filling in the empty spaces until everything felt right again. “Good night, Anders.”

“Night, Fenris,” Anders sighed, already slipping into slumber. Being in love complicated things, but that was tomorrow’s problem. He’d figure out how to fix it then.
