Infirmary

@Valon "Why don't you take long showers? Is that not something you do to relax?" she asked curiously, trying to know a little bit more about her companion. Once the towel had his hair reasonably dry she combed her delicate fingers through it to get it out of his handsome face. The trouble was once she had done that she couldn't help but to look into his dark eyes and smile. There was something about him that she just found herself drawn to.

The woman nodded and went to go put her towel away before picking up the things they would be bringing on their picnic. With the straps on her back she headed to the door and puts on her shoes. "You seem so eager. It is almost like you wanna get away from me or something." she said jokingly and looked at him, waiting for him to get ready.

Aurora opened the door and stepped out into the hallway, a little excited to get outside. It was going to be an exciting day and she knew it. Of course she didn't know how but she just had a feeling and she was going to make the absolute best of it.

@Aurora It took him completely by surprise as she suddenly dried his hair with a towel, though he wasn't really rejecting it. It was just the first time someone did something like this for him, though he guessed that around Aurora he would experience a lot "First Times" in the future, if he kept being around her. "I never take long for a shower", he simply replied, shaking then softly his head.

He yawned then a little, though he actually wasn't that tired like he used to be. Compared with the nights before this, he really did sleep quite a lot and many hours at once, something which he usually wasn't able to. He disliked actually to be asleep for too long, though he couldn't even really name why that was the case. Most of the time people didn't ask him anyway, therefore there was no need to develop an answer or explanation.

"If you are ready then, we can leave, right?", he said then, turning afterwards to her. Although his hair was still a little wet, he didn't really care. It wasn't the first time for him to walk around like this and till now he never caught a cold because of this. His body was resistent and strong enough and actually he sometimes just liked the feeling of still wet hair.

@Valon Like always he didn't let much of his feelings show and she wondered i maybe she had hurt them as she stepped inside the bathroom. Closing the door behind her she guessed that he probably didn't much care. It wasn't like she was some great beauty or anything and a guy as handsome as him, even with his reputation, could easily get girls. Rather she thought it was probably better that she didn't get involved with him in that way, affirming he belief that she would just end up heartbroken.

Aurora took a bit of time in the shower, guessing he needed a little longer to get there and back than she would just washing herself. It was a good way or her to reflect on what had happened between them. Even if she wasn't sure what it was she was sure they were something. Maybe not friends exactly but something close. At least he seemed to like being with her, or she hoped so.

The woman hummed cheerfully as she got out of the shower, dried herself, and got dressed. "Good times?" she asked as she saw him on her couch, still looking a bit damp. Aurora walked over with her towel and gently dried his hair, smiling down at the weapon. "There was no need to hurry. I wasn't going anywhere without you."

@Aurora Actually he expected something like this, though it didn't make him mad or something like that. Instead he just nodded and turned then to leave to shower in his own room and get some fresh clothes there. Since she said he could come back if he wanted, he guessed that he would do that later on. "Fine", he said calmly, before he then really left.

It didn't take long for Valon to take a shower and get himself a fresh set of clothes. With his hair still a little wet, he headed then back to Aurora's room and took then place on the couch as he waited. As it sounded was she still showering, but well, Valon had always been very fast when it came to things like this.

So he decided to just wait for her, while his eyes here and there turned to look at the door to the bathroom, wondering when she would come out. Looking down, he noticed that his still wet hair was wetting his black shirt a little, though he didn't really care about it.

@Valon The more questions he asked the more flustered she became. Aurora could feel it as the heat and color in he cheeks intensified and she tried to hide it by busying herself with her clothes. It was hard not to think about him even though she was doing her best to do anything else. Valon somehow just seeped into her mind and as he stood in front of the bathroom door she hesitated.

It was hard or her to decide what she wanted more at that moment but as she looked up to him her choice was clear. "You can shower in your room. I have no clean clothes for you here and showering then putting on dirty clothes is just silly." she answered and stepped around him into the small room. While part of her did want the shower with him, that intimacy, she knew it would just lead to . Whenever was involved Aurora tried to stay away because in the end she always ended up hurt.

"If you want you can just come back here when you are done." she said to him over her shoulder as she set her clothes on the counter. Her feelings were actually torn but she knew that in the end it was the right thing for her. There had been too many men who had used her and she didn't want it to happen again, at least not like that and not him.

@Aurora Valon quickly jumped out of the way of the balled up socks, a soft grin on his lips. The blush on her cheeks were somehow cute and it drew a smile onto his lips. "I had you for a second? So can I come along?", he spoke then. Well honestly said, first he of course just wanted to a little and make some jokes, but now that she reacted this way, he sort of was curious if she would really let him shower with her.

Although he might be cold and not very social, he wasn't or anything like that. Actually in this point he was simply a man too, though he maybe couldn't be considered as the typical womanizer. He followed her quickly, though he waited then in front of the bathroo, curious for her answer. There was no question left for him what he would do if she allowed him in, he of course would shower with her then.

He just hoped that she wasn't really mad at him for this. He couldn't help it, while he usually was rather calm and not very talkative, sometimes it just took over him and he acted totally different than usual... well at least for people which never experienced him like this.

@Valon It was not at all a surprise to her that he needed a shower or anything else. In act she had been sort of expecting it because she would have wanted something similar. If he had clothes at her place she would let him shower there but he didn't so she wasn't really sure what to do. Meeting up seemed to be the best option but she didn't want to suggest it for fear he would take it wrong.

Aurora had been working about how to talk to him but was firmly stopped when she heard his question. Her dark brown eyes went wide and she felt her cheeks heat up, flushing with color as she tried to come up with a response. He was handsome and smiling at her so at first she didn't know what to even think. Then it hit her, he was just playing with her feelings.

Her lower lip pulled into a pout and she threw her balled up socks at him. "You really had me for a second." she stated as she picked up the rest of her clothes and headed towards the bathroom. The blush didn't go away though, her thoughts still lingered on his lithe form all but covered from head to toe in bubbles.

@Aurora "I'm not a picky eater, I'll be just fine with whatever you want to take with you. But I might need a shower too", he said then and ran once again a hand through his hair. As well he needed to change his clothes, since those here were still kinda dirty because of the last mission. Usually he didn't care how he looked like, but since he would go to the lake with Aurora, he didn't want to look like some stray dog.

Maybe it was best if they met later on when both of them were prepared and ready, though Valon didn't feel the need of getting back to his room. Well he needed to actually, since he would need some fresh clothes, but like a stubborn child he actually didn't want to. He looked at her as she got out her clothes for after the shower, before he grinned then a little. It was something he hadn't shown to anyone else before, at least not during the last years, but next to his rather cold attitude and the fact that he disliked talking usually, he wasn't that innocent either.

Back in his sorrowless days he had been often teasing girls, at least in a still appropriate way. Grinning a little and looking at her, he then suddenly acted like he was about to take off his shirt. "Shall we shower then together?"

@Valon His smile was soft and subtle but it was hard for her to miss. Seeing the way his upper lip curled was so... cute. That's right. He was darned cute and she couldn't find another way to describe it, not that she would even if she had to. Valon probably wouldn't even know how she felt about it either and that was alright too. Deep down she knew he was adorable and that was all that mattered.

"Alright. I need to shower and pack some things before we go. Is there anything you need to do?" she asked as she walked back to her bedroom, pulling out a bag to stuff towels, a blanket, and some other odds and ends in. "I will put together our lunch after I shower. Is there anything you would like to eat?"

Aurora went to her closet and pulled out a change of clothes for after her shower. It was then that she wondered if he would need to do something similar and if it would be better for them to just meet up once everything was prepared. He probably wore those clothes during his mission and at the very least wanted some clean ones, something which she couldn't readily provide.

@Aurora He was glad that she really seemed to want to spend some time with him because she wanted to and not because she felt the need to do so. "I see", he said then, a soft smile on his lips while he closed his eyes. Although it was hard to see, but Valon was glad right now about her words and even more that he didn't just rush off like he first intended to.

Hearing then what she wanted to do, he thought about it shortly. Honestly he had never really been by the lake except maybe one time, but that had been during a mission in which they were chasing after something, therefore he hadn't had the time to look around. "The lake... well sure, why not?", he replied then with a slight nod. It would be the first time for him to go there for a simple picnic, but he couldn't deny that this fact was somehow making him smile.

The more time he spend with Aurora, the merrier he felt like he was really a part of this academy. Not as a warrior or weapon, but just as himself. "I haven't really been anywere outside of the academy for freetime... most of my travels had only been for work or missions."

@Valon Watching him deal with his confusion was a little hard for her and she wished she knew how to help him. There were times when she felt like she confused people a bit too much and she felt bad about it. Aurora didn't do it on purpose and especially not when she was just trying to get them to think about things on their own. This time in particular she felt like she was being straightforward but she guessed that he wasn't used to that either.

"I am not the pitying type of woman." She explained to him, smiling as she heard the softer tone in his voice. "I do some stuff because it is my job but that usually stops at the door of the infirmary unless I need to make a house call. When I came after you it was because I wanted to get to know you more. I genuinely care about you, more all the time."

The way he explained himself made her grin and she wanted to hug him but wasn't sure he would like that. Instead she just rubbed his arm and nodded. "I understand and honestly it is okay." she answered and then took a deep breath as she thought about what they could do. "Would you mind going to the lake with me? There is a nice spot to picnic and we can swim."

@Aurora Valon ran a hand through his messy hair. He wasn't used to that people wanted his company and honestly he didn't know how to handle it. He didn't want to hurt her feelings or anything, actually he appreciated it of course that she was this kind towards him, but Valon knew himself, he knew that it always could end up in hurting her or being hurt himself. It was always the same game.

He turned then though fully to face her. "I just don't want that you are doing anything out of pity or the feeling that you need to do this", he said softly, his voice getting softer now again. If she really wanted to spend time with him because of him and not any other reasons like duty and stuff, he sort of would be glad.

"What did you have in mind then?", he asked suddenly, wondering if she wanted to do something particular. "And just to make things clear... the being irritating wasn't meant to be an insult... you just confuse me all the time..." He cleared his throat and looked shortly away, almost a little embarrassed.

@Valon When he turned to look at her she felt a bit of relief that actually only grew as he insulted her. Aurora laughed softly and nodded in understanding. "Yeah, I know I am irritating." she admitted and let go of him, figuring she had probably pushed a little too hard and that he was going to leave. "I'm sorry. I wont keep you here if you don't want to be. I just thought I would offer."

The death scythe pulled her hand back and folded them in front of her lap as she waited for his decision. His question didn't even bother her and she smiled brightly up at him, shrugging slightly. "I don't know. I just like spending time with you." she answered, laughing a bit at her response. "I guess I just feel like there is more to you than that darkness and I want to see it so I need to be around you more."

It had been a long time since she had bared to much of herself or her inner thoughts to someone else. Most of the time no one took notice of her motives or reasons because they were so busy focusing on themselves. Even with that one question he was showing more of himself than she thought he would. Unless he was just asking for some kind of verification for himself which was entirely possible.

@Aurora He stopped in his tracks when she spoke and he felt her hand on his shoulder. He actually thought that she would just let him leave, after all did he feel like it was about time for him to leave, but then again, he didn't know what he really was supposed to do. This girl was just confusing him again and again and he felt like he had not a single clue about how he properly acted around her.

He looked at her hand which gripped his shirt lightly. Valon guessed that she wouldn't want him to leave when she held onto him, but still he couldn't really think of any reason why she wouldn't want him to go. His gaze moved back to her eyes, before he sighed. "You are a really irritating woman you know...?", he suddenly said then, closing shortly his eyes.

To be quite honest he didn't want to leave either, but he as well didn't want to be somewhere where he was maybe not welcomed. It didn't feel like that though, but still here and there he just felt like he had no right to be around such a bright and cheerful soul as her. "Why would a soul like you want to spend time with a much darker one like me?"

@Valon Just like she feared he completely withdrew from her and a slight sadness tinged her features as she turned to look at him. "You didn't have to let go either. I rather liked it." she explained and then shrugged, guessing that the damage had already been done. There was no telling when she would get another chance to be close to him again and she sighed softly, mentally slapping herself for being so rash. Sometimes her desire to always do the right thing messed it up.

Aurora followed him to the living room and bit her lip as she watched him folding the blanket. It seemed like he was retreating or running from her but looking for a reason to stay as opposed to doing something nice. Just seeing him like that, so unsure had her heart wrenching and she wanted to know just what to do to make him stay.

"You're welcome." she answered as she stepped towards him and put her hand on his shoulder, meeting his gaze. "I have the day off and I was wondering if maybe you would like to spend some of it with me. That would actually make me happy." The woman smiled up at him hopefully and lightly gripped his shirt, secretly praying for him to accept.

@Aurora Her words just let him snap back in his right mind, while he slowly sighed. He couldn't really name why, but her words didn't really sound like she was that happy about him being this close. The feeling of rejection was luring somewhere deep in his stomach, though maybe he was just once again misunderstanding the situation. Nvertheless, he quickly let go of her and turned around, getting some space between them.

"No need to...", he said, his voice a little harsher than before, actually just returning to the usual tone he had. Around Aurora his voice had been a little more soft than usual, at least till now. He couldn't know that he was taking her words completely in a wrong way, but well, he never had been famous for being good in social interactions.

"I'm gonna leave now anyway." He left the kitchen and turned towards the blanket on the couch to fold the piece of fabric and placed it then back on it. "Thanks for the breakfast", he said, before he was actually about to leave, his eyes having an undefined glance.

@Valon It was honestly sweet the way that he tried to help with the dishes and she smiled to herself. There was more to him than the cold exterior that was put out for everyone and she knew it. If he wanted to hide behind it for whatever reason then she would let him. Aurora guessed that it was kind of a defense mechanism and she felt bad that he seemed to need it because she knew underneath it all he was probably something really special. Or maybe he was special because of it.

The death scythe hummed softly to herself as she the water and poured in the soap. She waited for it to start bubbling up before she began washing the dishes. Cleaning was her focus so much that she didn't even realize how close Valon had come until she felt his arms around her.

Aurora's eyes went wide slightly in shock but she just smiled knowingly and relaxed in his arms, still doing the dishes. "I should hope so." she replied quietly. Part of her wanted to remind him that there were blankets to keep him warm but the other part just enjoyed the feeling of him holding her. In the end she decided not to be selfish and try to do what was best for him. "Would you like me to turn up the heat?"

@Aurora Valon couldn't help but look at her, though there was no real emotion visible on his face. He was surprised and confused yes, but he couldn't deny that he was sort of glad that someone still seemed to like him, even though he seemed really hard to handle, at least when it came to social interactions.

Quickly he helped her a little with the dishes, though she was quite fast in putting everything into the sink on her own. Altough he first wanted to say that he was enjoying her company too, he couldn't speak those words. He swore to himself to never get attached to anyone anymore and saying that he enjoyed someone's company was the best way of falling into that hole again, in which he sooner or later would end up being at the same state again as a few years ago.

Nevertheless, he couldn't deny that he sort of missed the warmth which came from her. His body seemed to move on it's own as he stepped closer to the death scythe. Valon moved almost in a trance like state as he wrapped his arms suddenly around her from behind, just like he tried to capture that warmth. "You're warm..."

@Valon There was a slight moment in which they were talking that she wasn't sure how he was going to take it. Yes, she had hit him and hurt him so he could have decided that she was no good. That thought scared her a bit because she felt like they had come so far together in just a short amount of time. Heck they were even eating breakfast together.

"Yes. A little hard to read sometimes and stubborn but that is alright." she explained. At his mumbled words she tilted her head slightly to the side and pouted. "Well I don't care about that stuff. I like you and that is all there is to it, no explanation required. Well unless you want one but then all I am going to say is that I enjoy your company."

The death scythe smiled at him again and then began to clean up the kitchen. She hummed quietly as she went, making sure all of the dishes from making breakfast found their way to the sink. Just because it was her day off didn't mean that she wanted to be lazy. If she put it off she would just have to clean it all later and probably in a worse mood.

@Aurora Valon just let it be like this, grinning mentally. He knew that she needed to be strong, otherwise she wouldn't have become a death scythe. He continued to eat and enjoy the breakfast she had made, till he finally felt full. "In the infirmary...?", he repeated, thinking back to that day.

Just then he remembered, though he hadn't really taken that as hurting him. She had been a little rough, but Valon wasn't used to anything else anyway, so he didn't really pay much attention to it. He could see though that she felt sort of bad for doing so, but he wasn't really seeing it as a bad thing. As she said, sometimes a punch was helping quite a lot.

"Difficult?", he asked then with a low chuckle. He had been called a lot of names already, but it was the first time someone just simply called him to be difficult. It surprised him though that she added that she liked him, not sure how he was supposed to answer to that right now. "I'm not someone people are supposed to like...", he mumbled then softly.

@Valon "Yep. I would have won." she repeated happily and nodded, really knowing that her powers were that capable. It wasn't unusual for people to doubt her or that she was even a death scythe because she was always so gentle and nice but she didn't have a reason to be mean with anyone. The only time she ever showed her truly fierce side was when she was incredibly angry or when someone was in danger. Other than that Aurora was just bubbly Aurora.

It did please her to know that he understood all that she had meant and didn't take offense to any of it. Then again, she hadn't said anything really harsh and she looked at it all more like a compliment to his character. However she did smile a little sheepishly as he brought up the bit about her hurting him.

"In the infirmary when you were kinda giving me attitude, not paying attention." she reminded him and looked at him, for the moment seriously. "I punched you then and part of me is sorry for it since I don't like that sort of thing but sometimes people need a bit of pain to understand. You are a difficult one to be sure but I like you anyway."

@Aurora True, she was a nurse, but still she was a death scythe and a girl in the end without considering what she was working. He looked at her shortly as she put some more food on his plate, chuckling silently for himself. Looked like she wanted him to eat a lot, maybe because he was what some people considered a little skinny? Valon just never had seen any reason to eat much, since gaining weight wasn't really included in his plans.

"You would have won hm?", he replied then, his voice sounding almost a little amused. He didn't really believe it, since she wasn't the fighter in his eyes like he was himself, but he knew as well that you should never judge anyone by his looks. The soul was was mattered, both in battle and social life or at least that's what Valon learned long ago in this academy.

"You are right, I am not the type to do such things", he said then with a light shrug, since it was the truth. Valon bever hurt anyone without having a really good reason, though considering that his partners often got hurt during missions, he maybe still was in some sort of way dangerous. But it wasn't like he intended to hurt them, it just happened because they were too stubborn usually to just listen to him and get out of the way. "Wait... when did you hurt me?"

@Valon There was a wave of relief that washed over as he ate and seemed to enjoy it. Aurora cooked a lot but mostly it was for herself so she never got to see someone else appreciating her work. She liked it though, putting her time and effort into something to eat for someone else was a good way to show that she cared without it being super serious.

"I am a nurse. Worrying is what I do." she reminded him playfully as she put a little bit more food onto his plate. He was still a little skinny and she wanted to make sure that he really ate well while he was in her care. Basically any time he was around her she wanted to take care of him, whether he liked it or not. Valon had become a special case and she was going to see it through.

For that brief moment Aurora returned the grin and then chuckled. "It was honestly just you and if you wanted to cause trouble then I know I would have been able to take you out." the woman replied with a smirk as she finished off her food. "Maybe not easily but I would have won in the end. Besides, I don't think violence towards me in any way is your thing. I hurt you already and you didn't hurt me back so I know you aren't that type."

@Aurora Valon looked at the topping and did just like her put some on his pancake. As he expected it tasted really good, before he then decided to take some milk. It had been ages since he got such a breakfast, well the last time was as well here with Aurora. Usually he wans't making such a huge efford when he needed to make breakfast for himself, mostly he just ate what he got.

"Yeah I did, don't worry", he said and nodded then a little. He didn't tell her that in his room he was sleeping actually every night like that, since he didn't really have bed like hers. He never saw any use in it, since he was barely ever in his room and mostly somewhere else. But maybe it was about time that he thought about getting one sooner or later, he guessed that would make him feel a lot better.

"I'm confused though... usually you should have thrown out someone who suddenly entered your room during the night, don't you think?", he asked then, looking at her seriously. He wasn't angered, just calm and serious, since actually she didn't really know him. He could have done a lot of things this night. "Or did you think as a death scythe you could easily handle me?" A short grin appeared on his lips, before it disappeared again.

@Valon "You're welcome!" she replied to him with a warm smile and gestured to the food. "There is also some fruit topping for the pancakes if you would like. Or if you would just like the fruit it is in there." The death scythe nodded and pulled her chair a bit closer to the table before getting some of the topping for her pancakes. "I didn't really know what you would like to drink though so there is some juices, milk, and water on that side if you want it."

With her plate all put together she took a bite and savored the flavor before contemplating his question. "During the night. I think I heard you come in but I didn't want to disturb you so I just let you be." she explained with a nod and went back to her food. "Did you at least sleep well? I was worried that maybe the couch would be a little uncomfortable for you without proper pillows and stuff."

Aurora glanced up at him again and waited for his reply. He probably thought she was insane or something, not that he was that wrong, she just hoped he did respond. Each conversation with him felt like a step in the right direction even if she didn't know exactly where they were going. He did seem more open with her and she knew for a fact that that was a good thing.

@Aurora Valon almost jumped too when she suddenly reacted that shocked, though on his face was nothing visible of that. He just continued to look at her, watching her as she really seemed to make him breakfast too, which once again surprised him. It was the first time someone seemed to be happy about him being around, since people usually wanted him to leave as fast as possible again, no matter where he was.

He looked at the food for a moment, unsure what he was supposed to do now. But then he just moved further into the kitchen and sat down. "Thanks...", he said softly, though he really meant it. He was just not used to such kind of situations and in some sort of way he almost feared that any of his actions or words could ruin the whole situation at once. The breakfast smelled really amazing, just like the last time he had been here, where she had made him something to eat too.

"When did you notice that I was here?", he suddenly then asked, just out of curiosity. He wondered if it was this morning or if she already saw him last night, maybe when he had been asleep. He almost felt a little embarrassed that he just entered into her room without asking first, therefore he was even more confused about that she wasn't mad or anything.

@Valon When he suddenly spoke at her door she jumped ever so slightly and gasped. As she realized it was him she laughed and put her hand over her chest, shaking her head at the male. "You almost gave me a heart attack!" she said and shook her spatula at him. "I thought you were still asleep. Were you at least comfortable?"

Aurora chuckled as she turned back to the breakfast. Although she didn't say it he had good timing. Everything was just about done and all she really needed to do was set the table. She got right to it, putting two place settings for them and plating the food quickly so that it was still nice and hot. "Here you go." the woman said cheerfully. "Pancakes and bacon. I hope you like it."

With a nod she pulled out the chair for him and went to her side to sit down. It had been a while since she had someone over for breakfast and she wasn't really sure what to say or do. Part of her wished to compliment him on how he looked even so early in the morning but she was sure that was weird. Aurora couldn't help it though, she thought he was handsome even when he was disheveled. Maybe even more so.

@Aurora Valon had fallen asleep again after he actually just wanted to nap a little. He didn't notice that Aurora got up and just continued his slumber peacefully. He didn't know if he had slept long after he firstly woke up, but when he opened his eyes he sensed that the other weapon was awake already too. He blinked a few times to get fully awake, yawning then once more and running his hands through his always messy hair.

Like always he didn't really care how he looked like, usually did never anyone complain about his looks, simply because he was not talking with a lot of people. He stretched his muscles and got then up, placing the blanket aside. He was a little surprised that Aurora just let him sleep, since he guessed that at least now she should know that he was here. Slowly he walked then over to the kitchen, not making a sound as he checked on if she was there.

He was a little surprised as he noticed that she was preparing breakfast for two people, or at least it looked like it to him right now. He doubted that she would eat that much alone as she prepared, but well, who knew, it was possible after all. "I'm surprised you didn't throw me out...", he suddenly then spoke, his eyes focused on Aurora.

@Valon Morning came quicker than she would have liked and the faint rays of the dawning sun peeked in through the gaps in her curtains to shine perfectly on her face. The woman pouted and mumbled as she fought to keep herself asleep, cursing her namesake for preventing her from extending her peaceful slumber. It was no use though and even with the blanket pulled up over her head the damage was done. Aurora was awake.

With a soft sigh she tossed the covers aside and shivered in the cold air before she climbed out of bed. A pair of fuzzy pink slippers awaited her and greeted her feet warmly as she put them on and waddled out of her room. The sight of him on her couch made her paused and in her sleepy stupor she had forgotten that he was even there.

Then slight panic hit in the most vain of ways and she wondered just what kind of fresh hell she resembled so early in the morning. Quickly she ran her fingers through her hair to make it at least not a nest as she bolted into her kitchen. 'Wonder if he likes coffee?' she asked herself and looked around to make something for breakfast as quietly as possible.

@Aurora A few hours Valon just slept peacefully on the couch, till he then woke up again. It wasn't usual for him to sleep longer than a few hours at once, though usually he never had a deep slumber like he had now. He felt good actually when he opened his eyes, guessing that he would feel more often like this if he at least slept like this every day.

Looking around, he then finally noticed again where he actually was. Right, he had been heading here in the night, though he wondered why he did it. A low growl left his lips as he sat up, wondering then when he had managed to put a blanket on top of him. Did Aurora notice him and bring the blanket along? Thinking of that, he almost felt ashamed and embarrassed about being here, even more since he more like sneaked in.

A low sigh left his lips when he moved to sit properly on the couch, his hair all messy. A soft yawn escaped his lips while he leaned back. He couldn't just leave now without saying a word, so he guessed he would just nap here a little more till Aurora would wake up. It was still very early in the morning, so he guessed she was still peacefully sleeping.
