I blink away the bright light, confused at where I am, and then I realize I'm covered in fuzzies. I'm in Rick's arms. It's nice, too nice, and I'm positive that I don't deserve to be treated so well, or to be this happy.

A sensation of discomfort down below hits me, and I realize that I need to pee, and right now. It's very urgent. I wiggle, groaning when I can't get loose. My mate's strong arms get tighter and tighter, holding me like a stubborn toddler keeping a hold of their teddy bear.

"Why are you trying to leave me?" Rick wonders, and I wonder if I've offended him with my simple plea to get free.

"I need to... urinate." I murmur, squirming for emphasis. He gives me a look, raising a white eyebrow in question. "Let me up, I'm serious." I laugh, and he grumbles, but let's me go.
