close your eyes to see

The weather was innocent enough, something Silent knew could get worse over time. Her green eyes were currently closed behind black lids, while her sides rose and fell with soft, relaxing breaths. You guessed it -- Silent was in the middle of an afternoon nap. Her body was curled around Steel, black tail limply curled around his hind legs. When he stirred from her side, she only woke up for a second, but fell back into the warm darkness of sleep. His question was what woke her up and a soft moan escaped her lips.
She opened her eyes, stretched her front paws until her claws flexed, and she looked over to the entrance of her den. The rain continued to pour, the same scene she had looked at for the past two days. Her eyes remained half-closed, but she didn't voice her lack of excitement for the question that came from Steel's mouth. Slowly, she looked down at him and realized he was already awake. What was she supposed to do?
Her body was silently screaming for her to stay in the den and sleep, but the rest -- her heart and her mind -- knew that it would break his little heart. Silent placed a tender smile on her face before lowering her head to his and licking his forehead. "Of course, baby. Let's go." She pushed herself to her paws and slowly stood, stretched out any cramping joints, and took a few steps towards the open door. She let Steel get ahead of her and once he did, she obediently followed.
