A Bad Reputation (1x1 w/PoisonousIvee)

[Mr.Aznable]

They were bunked together, but he never took advantage of that. What was wrong with her? She barely knew him.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He stayed on the floor like he said, using a bunch of furs and blankets as bedding.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She was sleeping a little restlessly, the weather too cold for her to really generate her own body heat.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

Derek noticed, waking up one night to her tossing and turning. He saw her shivering even in the dark and exhaled. He doubted she would mind. He pushed himself up and moved into bed carefully, holding her close to warm her.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She calmed down and moved close to him for warmth, sighing contently.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She fit perfectly against him and he watched her quietly for a good bit before falling back asleep, keeping her close all night.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She woke up slowly,surprisingly warm.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

Derek had his arm wrapped around her waist, pulled against his broad chest as he slept.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She was dazed a bit, her face flushed. "D..Derek..?" She asked quietly before settling and resting against him, her heart pounding hard.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

His arn let up a little when she moved before tightening around her again, nuzzling gently into her hair.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Her heart pounded in her chest. He was so close, so warm. She didn't object at all.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

If they did get married, would it always be like this? Would he always hold her close at night when it was cold? It made her heart race faster.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Her face was hot, she was practically fuming at the thought.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Yer heart is poundin' pret'y hard..." His voice was so husky, heavy with sleep as he roused gently, "Ye have a bad dream...?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She swallowed hard and shook her head. "N-No I'm okay.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Wha's th' mat'r...?" He asked.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Y-You uh.. j-just startled me is all.. I remember going to sleep alone.."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Mm...ye did...but ye were cold, so I came t' keep ye warm.." He said gently.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Th-Thank you.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He nodded, "Yer heart beatin' that bad cuzza me...?" He asked, "I could let ye go..."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She shook her head slowly. "N-No it's.. still cold.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He pulled the blankets and furs over them more before going back to holding her, "Bet'r?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She nodded. "Thank you.."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He nodded and started to doze off again.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She sat there, running it all through her head, what else could she do? He was holding her. They were in bed.
