[recluserose]

[Advanced Placement tests are just around the corner and that means Amelia has to come home a little later than usual due to holding review sessions at school. It was one of the few times in her life where she felt like getting a migraine from having to go over lines from Paradise Lost or the symbols and language of Moby Dick, or the extensive relationship between the characters in Wuthering Heights.

Just ENOUGH already! She wanted to go home and rest peacefully as usual! But when walking up to her door and about to turn the knob, it hits her that going home isn't 'the usual' anymore.

For the first time in a long while she knows someone is waiting for her.

Not letting her tired and irate mood get to her, she enters.]

I'm home!

[ Thankfully they're just pajama pants, and take no real effort to remove. He does so quickly, because frankly, he's tired of waiting. ]

[recluserose]

[She was tired of waiting too and she's glad she decided to buck up and take the initiative. There's a slight quiver of anticipation and before making another move, she leans in pressing her forehead against his and giving a sultry smile]

Surprised?

[spellbent]

[ He can't help but smile back. His voice is low and rough when he speaks ]

Pleasantly so.

[recluserose]

Good.

[And that reply ends with a kiss.

It's pretty clear that her intention was to make this night last as long as possible.]

[spellbent]

[ And last it does, but sleep eventually does happen. Warren will give her this- she certainly wore him out, but oh man was it worth it.

Being as they're in his room, not hers, any alarm Amelia might have set for the next morning goes blissfully unnoticed, and even fast asleep, he keeps his arms around her. ]

[recluserose]

[Amelia definitely... exerted herself, but for the first time in a long while she felt well rested and at peace, at least for now.

She opens one eye to find herself in his arms and although there's still matters she will have to eventually attend to... well, okay she didn't like having to use her emergency backup, but she had her selfish moments. She wanted to stay.

So she rubs her fingers together and quickly Envisions a shadow and a clear image of a double showing up in her classroom.

With that bit of magic done, she lets out a soft sigh and closes her eyes again just enjoying the moment.]

[spellbent]

[ That sort of wakes him, and he gives her a sleepy smile. She's still here- that counts for something. ]

D'you have school today?

[recluserose]

[She opens her eyes to smile back]

I do, but I wanted to stay here. It's fine though, I'm prepared for being away.

[A strand of hair falls in her face and she brushes it back]

No one will know.

[spellbent]

[ He smirks a bit, running his fingers through her hair ]

Good. I didn't want to have to let you go.

[recluserose]

[She pokes his forehead lightly.] Just for today you'll be my excuse.

[spellbent]

I think I can live with that.

[recluserose]

[A pleasant silence falls between them for a moment before she speaks up again asking shyly]

Do... you feel better?

[spellbent]

You honestly have to ask? [ He laughs a bit, pulling her close ]

... What changed your mind?

[recluserose]

Like I said I just needed to think. I just came to the conclusion that I wasn't being fair to either of us.

In any case, it's not as if I hadn't thought about it since you came to stay with me.

[spellbent]

Mm. Good conclusion.

Now the question is, since I have you all to myself for the day, what am I going to do with you?

[recluserose]

[That will make her laugh nervously and blush]

I can leave that up to you?

[spellbent]

This is fine for now.

... I have to say I could get used to the idea of waking up next to you.

[recluserose]

Hm. I might selfish with bed space. [This is said jokingly]

But if we wake up like this I wouldn't mind as much.

[spellbent]

[ C'mere, Amelia. He wants a kiss. ]

[recluserose]

[Would she ever say no to one of these? I think not.]

[spellbent]

[ He pulls away a bit and just smiles at her- a real, genuine, just for her smile ]

Have I told you lately how much I love you?

[recluserose]

I should be asking you that question instead. I don't say it enough for you.

[spellbent]

Well, I wouldn't mind hearing it.

[recluserose]

[Well then, shifting her position so she's on top of him again :>]

I love you.

[spellbent]

[ He laughs a bit, running his hands over her back ] I love you too.
