Max groaned. "Danny, I think you love that bear more than you love me," he murmured.
The damn bear was on Danny's shoulder, RIGHT where Max wanted to put his head. He'd put his head on top of the bear except the damn thing squeaked (only when he touched it, not when Danny touched it, of course) and it woke them both up when he did that.
And while Danny was kind of annoying sometimes, Max still loved him, and one of them might as well get some sleep.
Danny rolled over, still asleep. He said dreamily, "Sorry, Max... Love you."
"Love you, too." Max sighed, and snuggled up to Danny's back. At least this worked, sort of. He settled his head on the pillow next to Danny's, enjoying the smell of Danny's shampoo. He brushed his lips lightly across the back of Danny's neck, then slipped an arm over the top of him.
SQUEAK.
"Dammit! Stupid bear!"
The next morning, Max had a long, apologetic talk with Danny.
Danny, who'd missed the point rather comprehensively, came back after lunch with a gift bag containing a new bear for Max to cuddle. All Max could do was smile weakly and accept it.
