reasons for there to be only one bed ĖĖĖ ź° š ź±
¹⾠theyāre undercover as a married couple, and as such need to act like one
²⾠thereās technically two beds available, but itās freezing cold and everybody knows body heat works best
³⾠itās a camping trip, and one characterās forgotten their sleeping bag
ā“ā¾ a character goes to their friendās house after an emotional upheaval in search of comfort, and ends up staying the night - but refuses to kick the homeowner out of their own bed, resulting in the two of them sharing it
āµā¾ in a roommate scenario, one characterās bedroom has been rendered unusable - and with the couch being unsustainable in the long run, they proffer sharing the one remaining bed as a solution
ā¶ā¾ there are two beds, but only one blanket
ā·ā¾ a characterās taken ill, and the other party worries too much to leave them alone for even a minute
āøā¾ in a fit of anger after a mission gone wrong, both characters sleep in the only available bed because no one was chivalrous to offer to take the floor
ā¹ā¾ a characterās had a nightmare, and needs company to feel safe enough to go back to sleep
¹ā°ā¾ the weather takes a tumultuous turn, meaning a late night hangout has to turn into a sleepover when a character gets stranded there for the night
¹¹⾠itās a late night at work and when they both grow too tired to continue on, the only option is the lone office couch
¹²⾠a threatās been made against one/all character(s) involved, and so under the guise of safety in numbers itās deemed safest if they stay together - everywhere
¹³⾠one character joins the other for a late-night conversation, and ends up getting comfortable in their bed next to them - evidently too comfortable, as the char in bed falls asleep on the visitor and effectively traps them there
¹ā“ā¾ thereās no bed in the shoddy refuge theyāve found after things went sideways, so when it comes time to sleep the only real choice is to stay close together
¹āµā¾ itās the last room available at the hotel after a long trip
