My Welcome home oc shenanigans!!

Its time to rest

This only exists because I just want someone to hold Martly as they go to sleep (I actually want that-/lh)

《☆♡□》

"Night little buddy, Sleep well" Barnaby waved his paw at Wally as he began to leave his yard

"Goodnight Barnaby..." Wally voice muffled out as home closed the door

Or its mouth, Barnaby didn't know and was, as Frank would say, Frankly too tired to question it again

He thought of his warm bed as he walked down the pathway to his house

He had just gotten to his front door when he saw something shuffle in the woods

He lazily looked over and squinted his eyes to see who it was

To his surprise he saw Martly climbing up a tree

'Now why was this stinker out so late?..' he thought as he began to make his way to the tree

Their head snapped up and found Barnaby, they relaxed after realizing it was only him

"Heya Barnaby! Something wrong?" They asked as they began to yet again get comfy on the tree, which was them hanging upside down

"Well there might be kiddo, whatcha doing out so late? Ya feeling 'Down'?" He made slight pun and smiled when they snorted

"Nope! I was just getting ready for bed!" They moved their hands to gesture towards themselves as if it was the most obvious thing in the world

Barnaby cocked his head to the side "Whatta you mean getting ready for bed? Shouldn't you get to your house?" He questioned as he stepped closer

"I would but Mrs.Motheian locked the door! Gotta keep the strangers out!" They lazily watched Barnaby as he gawked in shock

"But you aren't a stranger! Your her kid!" He pointed out

They giggled "Well she don't know that sometimes!" They looked around after saying that, nervously they told Barnaby "You shouldn't be out here this late, its dangerous..." They mumbled

"Me? Kiddo your the one who shouldn't be out here, especially if its dangerous!" He responded as he thought of something

Martly began to say something again but was cut off by Barnaby "How about you come stay at my house for the night? Like a sleepover!" He smiled at them but his eyes darted back and forth from them to the forest behind them

"But I don't wanna trouble you Friend" they replied softly "Its no biggie Kid! Now come on!" Barnaby was not taking No for a answer as he plucked them gently from the tree they were residing in

Martly gasped and attempted to move out of Barnabys grasp before their head was gently met with his soft furry shoulder

They stopped for a second as Barnaby adjusted them slightly so he could put one of his arms underneath them

Barnaby smiled as he noticed them stop struggling as he walked back to his house, gently holding onto a now very tired Martly

Martly just snuggled closer to Barnabys shoulder while mumbling something

Barnaby chuckled as he opened the door to his house

He sighed when his paws hit the soft carpet of his living room. He took off his hat and then his vest, setting them on the coat rack by the door

Martly gasped at his colorful house, it seemed so big and comfy now that they saw it in person. They had heard Barnaby talking about his house with Howdy once

Barnaby gave them a amused look "Cool huh?" He said as he took off their flip-flops, tossing them by the door gently

Martly was too occupied by the house to really notice anything "Well I always have a snack before bed, come on" he said with a gentle and tired voice as he made his way to the kitchen

The kitchen had a different type of carpet, different color and different texture

He adjusted his hold on them as he opened his small fridge. He tsked before moving to his colorful pantry

He opened it and looked around before his eyes landed on some cookies and hot choco

"Oooo, that sounds good right now!" He said as his tail started to wag excitedly. He moved to get what he needed, setting Martly down on the counter as he did so

Martly sleepily rubbed their eyes as they lazily watched Barnaby make the  hot choco, they hadn't meant to be so tired but it was like it snuck up to them!

"Mmm!~" Barnaby happily hummed as the milk warmed up, putting the choco mix in two mugs, one big and one small

Soon later the milk was done and he could pour it into the mugs, he moved and poured warm milk in both of them

He finished it off by stirring both and putting them on a tray with the cookies

"There we go! Now lets head to be-" Barnaby grabbed the tray and had turned around to get Martly but found them fast asleep on the counter

"Aw~ They fell asleep!..." He quietly whispered as he moved to put the tray back carefully, he grabbed the small cup and put it in the oven to keep it warm until morning before putting the cookies back into the container

"Now come here kiddo..." He then turned back to Martly and carefully picked them up, putting their head in his shoulder

He grabbed his hot choco and cookies and began to walk to his room, careful of Martly

He had gotten to his rooms door, after opening the door he tried to get in and

"THWAK!"

Barnaby swore he had never flinched so hard, his head whipped over to look at Martly

Too his surprise, despite just hitting their head on the doorframe they were still sound asleep!

He let out a sigh of relief as he gently rubbed their head and walked to his bed, placing the hot choco and cookies down on his nightstand before gently setting Martly down

They curled up even more as he set them down, gripping at his sheets as they mumbled something

He brushed a strand of their hair out of their face before getting down on the bed as well

They clung to him happily as he reached for a book

'A book of humor : A deep look into the jokesters life'

As they clung to him and slept he sipped his hot choco and ate his cookies while reading

----‐------------------------------------------------------------
A truly heartwarming story except for the fact Martly needed to meet with someone that night! Silly silly Martly!
