*BOP!*
"Hey!" Victor exclaimed, groggily opening his eyes. Next to his pillow, Bot was watching him, ready to bring his hammer-arm down again if Victor dared go back to bed.
"Alright, alright, I'm up!" he moaned, and forced himself to sit up. As he rubbed his eyes, he felt a light pat on his side. He looked down, and saw the robot waiting expectantly.
Gently, Victor picked his alarm clock up and reached across Walter to set him on the bedside table. Bot wagged his eye appreciatively before powering down and going back to sleep.
Careful to not jar his shoulder too much, Victor wrapped his arm around Walter's warm body and kissed his cheek. "Time for school," he said with a smile.
