~Piper's POV~

Robbie was right.

The room got hot as heaters built into the ceiling glowed faintly. Sweat coated me, leaking into my clothes. Sitting up, I pulled at the clothing, wishing I'd listened to Robbie and worn something lighter. I refused to go nude!

The cage was open, so, I pushed my way out, feeling dizzy with heat. My first thought was to somehow get outside, it had to be dark out by now.

Walking into the kitchen, the light still shone brightly through the windows. I backed away, back into the semi dark den where my cage was to think.

I had gotten Blue to buy me some lighter clothes, but I couldn't see them. Maybe he had taken them up to his room? I didn't want to wake him.

The only other thing cooling would be a bath, but that would mean taking the stairs, and they were so high! I forced myself up them, arm hurting the whole way.

At the top, I stumbled into the bathroom, sending the barely open door hurtling into the back wall. Stripping out of my dress as I went, and stopping at the side, the truth hit hard. It was a high side, and the levers were out of reach.

There was only one choice left.

Blue's room was the only other door open, I slipped inside, "Blue!" I whined, feeling weak from my hike, "It's hot!"

I didn't know how he didn't wake at my noise, but he was still in his bed, a bed somehow managed to get into. "Blue, please wake up, I-" I touched him to try and wake him, but he felt so cool to the touch.

I huffed, and collapsed on top of him, rubbing my cheeks over his skin. "He didn't seem to have any trouble keeping us both cool.

~Blue's POV~ I woke up when the bathroom door banged open, blinking as I started to get up. A loud huff had me realizing it was just Piper. Maybe she needed to use the restroom, it was still set up with the stool and smaller seat. If I'd been more awake, I may feel guilty for not leaving her an option downstairs.

It was too quick to be the potty she needed when she appeared in my room. I lay back down, ignoring her, and curious what she would do.

The human was wobbling across the floor, whining about something. It was dark, but my night vision could see her body covered in what the book had called sweat. It was a reaction to too much heat.

Odd when it was a cooler night. But humans made their own heat, my kind did not.

She hooked her fists into my sheets, and pulled herself into the bed, her whining getting worse as she crawled across the bed on all fours, one small paw reaching out to touch me as I pretended to still be asleep.

She gasped at my skin, still cooled from sleep, and suddenly pounced on me. My heart stopped for a second, was she finally attacking? But I heard her coo in the next moment, pressing herself to me, and settling down.

Not long after, little snores could be heard. I giggled, my pet had been hot and wanted comfort. And she chose to cuddle with me! It was a small victory, but I'd take it.

*Thanks for reading! Please, vote and comment.

I put both of their POVs together this time instead of writing two really short chapters. Was that ok, or would you like separate chapters for Piper's and Blue's POV no matter how short of a chapter it would be?*
