Grey had gone to bed that night like he usually does on weekends. Although he never actually checks the time on Saturdays, he had probably decided to hit the hay at around two a.m. He is one of those people who only gets a few hours of sleep at night and however still be productive.
He remembered the utter mundanity of his routine before bed yesterday. How he shortly looked at himself in the bathroom mirror before brushing his teeth. He had thrown off his T-shirt as he stripped, his underwear joining soon after. New York had been dealing with a heat wave for the past few days; sleeping with any clothes on had become unbearable. Before attempting to sleep, Grey checked his cell phone for messages, but he still hadn't heard from any of his colleagues. He couldn't blame them. He was the only one crazy enough to work on weekends. He had lowered his duvet to waist level because he felt hot, but he still wanted to feel the weight of something on his body.
And still, for some reason, this night seemed appropriate for something to wake him up with an unknown feeling. He found himself in the headspace one finds themselves in before fully waking up, where your mind convinces you to catch just another wink. Still half-asleep, he felt a slithering sensation on his right thigh. He imagined it as a snake-like fish losing its sense of direction as he waded through an endless swamp. The murky waters were cold and reached just over his hips, but this fish was somehow warm-blooded and wouldn't leave his side. Grey swam his arms around and tried to scare it off, but this created the opposite effect; the fish wiggled its way through his swimming shorts' leg. It started rubbing against his cock, trying to excite it. He just stood there, frozen, letting the fish do what it wanted. And it was for the most mundane reason that his mind figured out he was dreaming; that he wasn't wearing any swimming shorts. No, he had gone to bed naked. And then it hit him that if he were naked, he should not be wading around in those waters either.
Grey's body shook itself awake as he connected the dots. He obviously didn't find himself in a swamp...
But the fish felt real.
Grey responded with a yelp as the creature flailed under the duvet. He sat up as he kicked his feet, trying to scare it off, but it remained stuck in place. Grey's breathing hitched as he stared at the moving spot in front of him with wide eyes. He could see the duvet bunch upward each time the thing moved. He cringed as he realised he had to get rid of it by force. His hand grabbed the duvet and he slowly lifted it to see what exactly was moving near his crotch.
