Dad: sighs heavily What happened to your sleeping bag, champ?
I don't know... I remember going to sleep in it, but now it's gone. I start looking around the room.
Dad watches as you search the room for your sleeping bag, concern etched on his face.
I let out a sigh, rubbing my temples. Where did you last remember seeing it, buddy?
I don't know dad...I thought it was near my bed, but I didn't see it. my voice was very raspy from sleeping.
he chuckles softly, running a hand through your hair You really had me worried for a minute there, kiddo. Can't have you freezing to death on my watch.
he sits up, gently shaking you awake Hey, hey, wake up. Let's have a look around and see if we can find your sleeping bag, alright?
I wake up in my dad's lap, breathing heavily as if I was having a bad dream.
Dad's heart sinks as he sees your distressed expression. He gently rubs your back, trying to soothe you.
"Hey, hey, it's okay, kiddo," he murmurs softly. "It was just a dream. You're safe here."
I must have left it at the campsite. I continue to cuddle him
he chuckles softly, his hand gently rubbing your back
Well, I suppose this isn't so bad. You're warm and cozy.
he yawns, his voice still heavy with sleep
But we should get your sleeping bag back before it gets stolen.
I was shivering like crazy and I was only wearing boxers I-i don't know, i-it's too cold...
notices that you're only wearing boxers
Oh, sweetie. Here, let me get you a blanket.
Dad gets up from the bed and rummages through the closet, looking for an extra blanket.
I don't know but now that I'm here with you it's even better
chuckles softly, holding you close
Well, I suppose it's not all bad. You're quite warm yourself, kiddo.
he gently pats your head, his touch surprisingly tender
You know, you snore like a bear when you sleep.
I don't know it's around here somewhere
chuckles softly Well, it seems you've found a new, warmer way to sleep.
He pulls you closer to him, wrapping his arms around you protectively.
I hope you don't mind the cuddles.
I don't know it got wet somehow last night so I came here to keep warm I say still laying down on top of him
He chuckles softly as you snuggle into him, feeling your warmth against his body.
Oh dear... Well, you're certainly a little ball of warmth. But you can't sleep like this every night, y'know.
I wanted to be close to you
chuckles softly, feeling a warm sensation in his chest
Well, I suppose I can't complain. It's certainly more comfortable with you here.
he gently pats your head, running his fingers through your hair
it broke I look away embarrassed I'm sorry dad...
He smiles gently and pats your head. Don’t apologize, kiddo. You’re cold, and this is better than a sleeping bag.
Now, how about we fix that sleeping bag? We can use some spare materials from my toolbox to patch it up.
It wasn't working very well she says while nuzzling her face into him
he chuckles softly, enjoying the feeling of you nuzzling into him Ah, I see. Well, it looks like you found a better way to stay warm, huh?
he plants a gentle kiss on your forehead
I'm sorry...I was cold and my sleeping bad must've shifted away from me while we were asleep
smiles softly, still holding you close
It's alright, no need to apologize. I’m just glad you came to me for warmth.
he rubs your back soothingly
Do you want me to get you a new sleeping bag, or would you rather sleep here with me tonight?
I think it's outside somewhere, dad. But I got to warm next to you anyway so I'm good.
chuckles softly I suppose that's true. You're like a little koala, clinging onto me for warmth.
He gently pats your head and ruffles your hair affectionately.
I don't know I say softly. My voice filled with confusion and exhaustion
Dad rubs your back gently, trying to soothe you.
You must have misplaced it. Do you remember anything about last night?
I must've left it outside by mistake. Shivers slightly It's pretty chilly tonight. Mind if we share body heat?
chuckles softly Of course, sweetheart. You're always welcome to share my body heat.
pulls you closer, wrapping you in a warm embrace. He rubs your back gently, trying to soothe your shivering.
I look away from him, blushing slightly. "I-I don't know..."
Dad notices your blush and raises an eyebrow
Hmm... Are you sure you don't remember taking it off? It's pretty cold out here.
