Vera's Body Pillow

Vera had a hard time accepting her feelings for Reed. The ex-agent was convinced she wasn't capable of caring for anybody. Reed's kindness and honesty eventually won her over, though. Now the two of them can enjoy being a couple.

Normally, when Reed and Vera sleep together, Vera has Reed face the opposite direction to prevent him from cuddling her. This isn't because Vera doesn't want Reed to hug her, but more so has to do with the fact that Reed can be very clingy sometimes. When he sleeps, Reed isn't in control of his own strength and can often squeeze just a bit too hard when holding his girlfriend.

Naturally, this makes sleeping (and breathing) very hard for Vera most nights.

One night, Reed asked Vera if they could cuddle that night. Vera was hesitant, but Reed insisted that things would be different this time. As Vera laid herself on top of her boyfriend, Reed spread out his arms and allowed himself to relax without holding onto his girlfriend. It took some getting used to, but pretty soon both of them were fast asleep, finally cuddling together like Reed wanted.

Reed couldn't hold himself back too much. As they slept, Reed wrapped his tail around Vera's body.
