"Riley's weird." The boy said, but fondly. He definitely didn't do things the way Marco did, but they were both good dads, he figured in the end. He startled again when Marco came back into the room (good lord he was quiet!), and he grinned to try and pass off his startle. "Okay" He chirped, slithering off of his pad to stare at Romeo's bed. Riley usually helped him onto the bed at their house...but Riley's bed was a lot taller than this one.
His tongue flickered out from between his lips as he assessed his situation, and put his hands on the bed, pushing up with his tail to claw his way onto the bed. It was easier than the pool because the pool didn't have a floor he could have used for leverage! "Hah!" Once he was on the bed and grinning like he won a gold medal for a marathon, he moved to the other edge of the bed, curling up there. "This okay?" He didn't know what side of the bed Romeo slept on. Emmet always slept in the middle of his bed...but he couldn't do that here.
He snuggled down on his side, resting his head on the edge of the pillow and his tail curling on itself farther down, as to not be in Romeo's way. It felt so weird not curling up totally!

"Uh-huh," Romeo said as he got himself into the bed after Emmet. The bed wasn't the biggest and if the two were just a little older they both probably couldn't fit on it. But now it was just snug.
"Sleep well boys," Marco said tucking the two in under the blankets and leaning over to give them each a kiss on the forehead.
"Good night daddy," Romeo said with a yawn as he settled into the bed next to Emmet as Marco went out to go and give the other two children their baths.

"G'Night Romeo's Daddy." Emmet said, rubbing at his eyes with his balled up fists. He yawned a little wider than most humans could and snuggled in, staying close to Romeo because he was waaaarm. Nice and warm. Body heat beat out the heating pad in comfort. "Your room is cold." He pouted, but it was more of a statement than anything else. Dark eyes closing, Emmet let himself fall asleep.
His first night away from home, and so far he was doing very well.

Romeo was asleep very soon as well. It wasn't long before Romeo was cuddling up against Emmet as if his friend were a teddy bear.
Marco brought Clay in and put him to bed very quietly, so that the two boys wouldn't be disturbed and woken up by them. Clay was knocked out pretty quickly too, he didn't even have any time to pick on his brother and his friend.

Morning came too soon.
Emmet was pulled from his sleep on a natural cycle, rubbing at his dark eyes with his scaled fists, moving to sit up, looking around him for a moment. He saw nothing he immediately recognized. This wasn't his - no, Riley's - room! The little boy's face contorted in confusion, and he shifted his body to sit up, to try and figure out where he was.
He was groggy and he wasn't completely awake yet, and when he shifted his tail he brushed against something soft, squishy, and very, VERY warm. Needless to say, he let out a shrill noise, slithering back against the wall. Seconds after he let out the noise though, he recalled where he was, and that the warm hing he felt was Romeo. His scaled hands flew up to his mouth, as if very belatedly trying to take back his noise.

Romeo's ears twitched from the quick shrill noise that Emmet made but remained asleep. He had his thumb in his mouth and was dozing lightly in the early hours of the morning. It still wouldn't be for a while until Romeo would wake up, another hour or so. Same for Clay who was sleeping up on the top bunk. It seemed most other people didn't get up at around six in the morning.
Feeling the absence of Emmet and the blankets that had been moved down a bit Romeo stirred in his bed and rolled around subconsciously trying to make himself more comfortable.

He stared at Romeo as his best friend tried to get comfortable again but didn't seem to wake up. That was good, he would have been so embarassed if Romeo knew he'd been scared! His tongue flickered out of his lips as he found a way around his friend without waking him up, trying to slither as quietly as possible off of the bed...which ended up with him literally crawling off of it, and his tail was quiet in following. Once he was down he tugged the blankets over Romeo so he wouldn't get cold.
But he found that he himself was warm. Very very warm. So he found the coldest place in Romeo's room and curled up in a little white ball of scales. There he waited for someone else to get up. Emmet, much like Riley, was always wide awake once he was up. Unlike Riley he had naps during the day because he was a little boy, but other than that, he'd adapted to Riley's schedule.

Even though the other two boys in the room weren't stirring just yet there were sounds coming from outside of the room. The house was a ranch, a rather large ranch but still just a ranch. You could easily hear what was going on in the other rooms. Out in the living room the TV was on very quietly, and there were soft sounds coming from the kitchen.

It was very quiet in the room he was in, but after a while he started to hear what was going on outside of the room. Blinking, he uncurled himself from the cold spot on the floor and slithered towards the door, opening it slowly ad peeking out. Ouch, it was bright!
Blinking into the light, he slithered out of the room as fast as he could so Romeo, or worse, Clay, wouldn't get woken up by the light. He lingered until his eyes adjusted, and then headed slowly towards the kitchen, peering into it to see what was going on.

Marco was in the kitchen, standing over the stove. He was cooking some breakfast and it smelled great. It smelled of foreign spices and plenty of potatoes and beans. He was standing there flipping some of the things with a spatula while listening to the news that was on in the other room. He wasn't used to his kids getting up so early in the morning, so he didn't notice when Emmet slipped into the room so quietly.

Emmet tongue flickered in and out of his lips; the air tasted and smelt so...so yummy! Curious as to what Romeo's Dad was making (and probably hoping for breakfast), the little snakeling slithered over towards Marco, shyly tugging on his pant leg. "G-good mornin'.." He said quietly, rubbing one of his eyes with a scaled little fist. "Whattcha makin? Smells really yummy."

Marco turned his head when he felt the little hand tug on his pants, "Oh, good morning Emmet," He said greeting the boy with a smile, "You're up rather early aren't you? Could you not sleep well?" He asked as he stirred the food around in the frying pan.
"I'm making Indian hash browns," Marco answered when asked about the food, "It shouldn't be long before they're done. Would you like some?" The man offered turning down the heat on the stove.

"M-mornin" Emmet shook his head. "N-no, I always g-get up this early..." He said quietly, pressing the tips of his index fingers together shyly. The little snakeling was very much on Riley's schedule, and the only difference between the two was that Riley had more things to do in a day, and Emmet had naps.
"In-dee-an hashi browns?" The boy asked curiously, gathering up enough courage to slither to the counter, put his little scaled hands on the edge and try to peer up. Of course, tail or no tail, he was still too short. When he was asked if he wanted any, he blushed darkly, recalling his little show at dinner. "U-uhm...N-no its okay, n-not hungry." Which was probably true.

"Are you sure?" Marco asked pressing, "I made more then enough for everyone," He said smiling down at Emmet. He was such a shy little boy, and so well behaved as well. He had no idea how Riley though he was a bad parent.
"I can put some cartoons on for you if you'd like while you're waiting for Romeo to wake up," Marco offered turning the stove off and putting the large wooden spoon down on the counter before wiping his hands with a kitchen cloth.

Emmet shook his head again, raising his hands as if trying to avoid responsibility. "N-no i-its okay..." He looked away from the older man, suddenly finding the fridge very fascinating. "I'm r-really n-not hungry..." He perked up a little bit at the mention of cartoons, and he nodded a bit.
"O-okay, I l-like cartoons." The little snakeling seemed a little more eager to answer questions. "D-do you always g-get up t-this early?"
