Snickers looked through the draw digging almost frantically through the pajamas that were there for the pair he wanted. He turned, frustration evident, when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Charlie stood there smiling the pajamas in his hand. It had become almost a game to them each night Snickers would fight tooth and nail to have the pajamas and Charlie would hold them nearly hostage getting the little boy to give him a few words at least before he could put them on.
He scowled for a moment going to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He scrubbed thoroughly spitting and then rinsing out his mouth with the little kid mouth wash he had. Snickers washed his face thoroughly taking as much time as he could to dry his face off. He made his way back to the bedroom looking to where Charlie still stood smiling at him. He knew that Charlie liked when he talked but Snickers still preferred to write or gesture for what he wanted the talking more uncomfortable for him. He held out his hand,"Snickers...want...pajamas."
"Snickers what?" Charlie looked down at him smile only getting bigger. The little boy sighed,"Snickers...want...pajamas...plea
se." Charlie handed the pajamas over and Snickers quickly changed into them before climbing into the bed and covering up, the corner of the blanket going straight into his mouth. Charlie gently pulled it out of his mouth tucking him in carefully.
"Good night Snickers,"he stroked the little boys hair before turning to go, He had the light off and was one his way into the hall when the soft voice came out from under the blanket. "Goodnight...Charlie."
