Boredom
That's the only thought in your head
You've been alone all day again
Dad was away again, he's always done this but it never gets any better
You already ran around the house screaming, pissing off the neighbors
You even got the landlord to come lecture you, so that was fun
Normally, you'd be watching youtube, but dad caught you watching videos about how humans breed
So that's out too
Sitting upside down on couch, you stare at the wall, waiting
waiting
waiting
wait-click
Your head shots up as hear the deadbolt slide back and the latch click
Violently flipping yourself around, you fall off the couch and thump to the floor
Running to the door you tackle Daddy, his heavy coat still on
"Hey, Anon, I'm home"
He hugs you back, and pulls you off so he can remove his outer coat
and his inner coat
and his under coat
and his paw warmer belt
Okay I'm done, come here, buddy
You leap back into his arms, rubbing his warm smooth scales
"Come on, our favorite movie's on in fifteen minutes"
Even with the promise of television, you still refuse to let go
He sighs, and wraps his arms lower around you and carries you back to the couch
Navigating his tail carefully, he places you down on at and curls around you
When he's done you're wrapped in a cocoon of sarm snake, with your head and shoulders poking out
Dad grabs his two heated blankets from behind the couch and wraps himself up
Turning on the tv, he wraps his arms around you and rests his head on your own
Today was a good day
