Sam couldn't be bothered to do anything else. He had a long day at work with Max as the Freelance Police. After solving so many crimes, he decided to take it back and just rest for the rest of the day, despite it being 7:30 in the night. Max also wanted to rest, except he didn't want to sleep on his part of the bunk bed. No, he wanted to sleep *with* Sam.

Max walked up to his almost asleep dog partner. "Hey Sam." Max said.

"What is it, little buddy? I'm very tired." Sam said tiredly.

Max didn't want to spend a minute or two talking about why he was waking Sam up, so he got straight to the point. "I wanna sleep next to you on your part of the bed."

That made Sam jump up quick. "What? Why?" Sam asked.

"My blanket seems to have lost its warmth." Max said. "Plus, I'm too scared to sleep by myself tonight."

The first part Sam understood, but the second part was at first, confusing. Doesn't Max have spare weapons in case anything decides to kidnap him? Then again, he might be unprepared in case that happens.

Sam made a final decision: he was gonna let Max sleep with him. "Alright, but just for tonight. You're going back to your own bed once the night is over." Sam said. Max nodded, understanding Sam.

Max got next to Sam, and buried his face deep in Sam's fur. That made Sam giggle a bit. Max started petting Sam's stomach. In response, Sam started petting Max's left ear. That made Max smile even more than he did before. Max stopped petting Sam, which made Sam whimper a bit, but it was time to sleep so it was understandable.

"Good night, little buddy." Sam said.

"Good night Sam." Max said in response.

Sam had since changed his mind about letting Max sleep with him for one night. Now he always wants Max to sleep next to him. Max helped protect Sam. Even if he was already safe, he wanted Max to keep him safe even more. When Sam told Max that he changed his mind, Max literally hugged the big fella. Max enjoyed sleeping with Sam too much to go back to his old bed. In fact, the two actually replaced their bunk bed with a twin size bed. So they could sleep next to each other at all times.
