"We need to file a complaint."
"Not now, Cloud. ‘m too tired for this." Leon let out a long sigh, his hand brushing back his wet hair.
"Seriously now is the right time to do this. This," Cloud pounded the mattress with his fist, "Looks like nobody bothered to clean."
A cloud of dust particles exploded immediately under the harsh fist, sailing through the air and making Cloud take a step back, the back of his hand covering his nose as he gave into a fit of sneezes. “See? How many living organisms are living off that old ratty thing? Better yet, how many are living in it.”
"Okay. Not the best accommodation. At least there’s a roof above our heads." Leon eyed the bed distastefully. There were horror stories of bed critters and cockroaches. He’d rather not think of the lumpy thing filled with unknown pests.
Dammit, he was dead tired. His feet were probably covered in blistered and puss. He’s completely soaked to the bone, smelling like sweat and road kill after a week. They had a long journey prior to finding this room for themselves, surely they were allowed this small luxury just for one night as a storm raged on outside the room.
"For all we know, we might as well be stuck in the truck and await the mud slide to drown us." Leon pointed out, and sagged into the mattress, his muscles were already groaning in relief at the surprisingly softness of the bed. "It’s not like we haven’t slept in any worst places before."
Cloud stared at him, his face screwed in a blank look before his eyes blinked. “Okay, fine, you’re right. Still, that cheapskate at the desk didn’t have to charge twice the normal rate. All our munny for just a rat hole corner single room.”
"You’re welcome to stay in the truck, Cloud. I, for one, will take this bed." Leon said, taking off his booths first and then his wet clothes until he’s only in his drawers. He hung the wet clothes across the back of the mini sofa in the center of the room to dry and then went into the small bathroom stall.
Thanks to the hot shower, he felt a more refreshed and a little bit alive. With his towel still slung over his hips, he stepped back into the bedroom to retrieve some clothes but stopped to stare at Cloud.
His friend was sprawled across the bed, face pressed deep into the pillows, breathing slowly. Still wearing the clothes he had thrown on that morning.
Leon rolled his eyes and arranged Cloud’s limbs from laying spread-eagle on top of the bed. He then tugged out a quilt from his duffel bag, almost spilling all his clean clothes across the floor, laid the guilt over Cloud’s body.
"Night, Cloud." Leon said quietly and grabbed something to dress in for the night.
The couch didn’t look comfortable though, but at least it’s almost large enough to contain his height.
