Keith wasn't a heavy sleeper. But the past few days with these weird bed switches and things like that, he was actually kind of tired. So, he didn't really notice at first when someone climbed into bed with him. In fact, part of him thought it might have been someone bumping into his bed as they walked past.

His head thought back to the fire, for a moment, though, because he had thought the same thing just before all hell had broken loose. So, his head pushed him to wake up. He opened his eyes, but there was no bright flash like the last time. Instead, there was a warm weight behind him on the bed. He was momentarily confused. This had only happened once... the other two bed things so far had him ending up in someone else's bed. So, he cautiously rolled over, wondering if Nico had ended up in his bed again.

Nope...

"Lola?"

By now, he was kind of used to it? So he didn't immediately panic, but he was definitely concerned. Was she that tired?

Lola was getting better about being aware of her powers, she'd also upped her caloric intake to deal with the excess energy burned with her... whatever it was. The whole 'lack of uninterrupted sleep' thing was keeping her pretty comfortably asleep as Keith woke up. Lola squirmed a little at the change in terrain, but that was in.

She was cute, adjusting her position in her sleep, do you wake? y/n

Keith stared for a moment, feeling really awkward because 'cute girl in my bed with me', and floundered about in his head trying to decide if he should let her know or let her sleep. He felt bad at the idea of waking her because he knew she'd been tired a lot lately. But, he also felt bad letting her sleep because it might be a shock to her when she woke up in the wrong place.

He bit his lip for a second, and then gave her a gentle poke in the shoulder, trying to be polite.

"Hey..." He kept his voice low. He didn't want to startle her awake. "Lola. You're in the wrong bed."

Why is there poking? Sleeping should not be interrupted by poking. Ever. She does eventually blink her eyes open. Hair still that half-asleep snowy white. She's looking at Keith, she definitely recognizes Keith, but she's tired enough that what comes from that is missing some key levels of 'why this matters.'

"Why are you waking me up?"

Yeah, she's not there yet, she's tired. She'll just curl right up against Keith again for a moment. Just a few moments. Her hair then goes from white to... well, his shade of red. The one from his jacket and his armor. And sits back up again. "Am I in your bed, or are you in my bed?"

"I- uh..." Keith faltered for a moment, but then her hair changed color suddenly. Oh, look... red... For a second, her question caught him off guard, and he actually had to look around to be sure. After all, he'd been in other people's beds, and now people were in his, and... yeah, this was just weird.

"You- you're in my mine," he said.

Lola considers a moment, confirms what she's wearing, then just decides to curl back up against Keith. He's warm, not a stranger, not really old, not dating her best friend, and he's warm so this seems totally okay. "Well, it'd be weird if you were in my bed. Mostly because of what I wear to bed."

Said as if this isn't weird, which it clearly is. And Lola don't remind Keith your idea of pajamas are showy and breathable because that won't help anything. He doesn't need that, that's not fair to him.

Uh... okay. Keith sort of tensed up a bit, almost like he was afraid to move. He had to mentally remind himself a few times to just chill. If she was okay with this, then okay. He... felt a little weird? But, honestly, it wasn't the worst thing that could happen. She was nice. She was cute. She wasn't trying to force herself on him. All things considered, this really could be a thousand times worse. Just... calm down.

Wait, what?

"What you wear to bed?"

No, Keith... you shouldn't have asked that.

Lola was sleepy so her response came out exactly the worst way it could, "Summertime is for not wearing lots of clothes..." This isn't to say she slept naked, that'd be ridiculous, but she did show almost all of her legs while she was in bed. Later in the year she'd switch to full covering fuzzy pajamas, of course. But that wasn't now.

Like, if she were awake she'd realize maybe not sharing that information if she didn't need to. Keith wasn't on her half of the floor so he didn't really need to know.

Yup. His mind went there.

"Oh... uh. Yeah. Then it's probably better this way."

Yeah. He didn't want to freak her out about that. So, he would just agree. That sounded good.

"You're okay with being here, though?"

"I'd just wake myself up more if I walked back to my bed and got changed," Lola's hair faded out from the full red to a sorta washed out look. When it came to thinking this plan through, maybe she hadn't exactly. But Keith was nice, warm, and honestly this was close enough to her own bed she didn't feel too bad just sleeping here.

"Do you want me to go?"

"Oh! Uh... no..." He faltered a little, because it wasn't terrible, and she was really snuggly, and it felt kind of nice, even if he wasn't sure. But, if she was okay with it... "You can stay."

"Thank you." Look Lola's going to just drift back to sleep cuddling up to Keith like this isn't a big deal. Keith can just deal with how this looks in the morning. Or worry about that all night. Whatever works for him.

Lola's hair is completely snow white now.

"Yeah... sure."

Keith watched for a moment, her hair changing like that was a really fascinating thing to watch. Then, he sighed. Welp... glancing around at anyone else in the room, he gradually tried to get himself to fall asleep, too. He wasn't a great sleeper, but he'd deal.

And he did have to admit it was kind of nice having someone next to him like this.
