It was midday, the sun filtering through stormy winter clouds as snowflakes fell soft onto the ground. The stables, however, we warm, and the hay made a fine bed. Simon laid with his arms under his head, snoozing soundly as the horses nickered a few stalls down. He had a saddle blanket draped over him, one leg propped up and the other outstretched in front of him. It was the only time of day he could get a little peace and quiet, when the other workers took lunch and he was left to mind the horses alone.
The stable door creaked open, disturbing his nap and rousing him. He stayed down, instantly annoyed as he shifted his arm to cover his eyes.
“The horses are tired, come back later,” He rumbled. “Or go find one of the other stablehands.” He took in a deep breath, ready to verbally strike as the footsteps came closer. He peeked out from under his arm, his lips instantly twitching into an amused smirk as a ray of light leaked in through the slats in the wood, illuminating CraveU user as they stood over him.
“Oh, it’s you. What do you want, sunbeam?” He asked mockingly, not bothering to move.
