She looked up at him again. "Can I stay for tonight..? I don't really want to be by myself." *** He ran a hand through his hair in a nervous panic. "Do you know how much that terrified me? There's nobody around for proper medical attention! I thought.." he trailed off, looking a bit worn.
"Of course," he said, cupping her jaw. "Please don't go..." * * * She frowned, standing up and twisting her hair to get the water out. "You thought what?"
She hugged him, burying her face in his shoulder. "Can I borrow pajamas?" *** He shook his head, clearly irritated. "I don't know. I want to go home."
He hesitated before nodding. "You can, but I don't know if any of my stuff will fit you..." * * * She seemed subdued, standing up slowly. "...okay. I'll drive you home."
"Well.. I don't have many other options.." *** He crossed his arms, looking upset as he started back to the car.
He nodded, taking her hand and pulling her towards the bedroom. * * * Gwen followed, her brows furrowed almost nervously.
His bedroom was fairly minimal. A large bed and an art easel by the window. Some canvas leaning up against the wall. * * * She started the car and they drove off. Gwen was staring straight ahead, biting her lip.
She relaxed, looking back over at him. *** Adonis left her in a cold silence, his arms crossed. After awhile, he sighed. "Don't.. do that again."
He crossed over to his cabinet, opening it and glancing over at her. "What are you in the mood for?" * * * She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, but didn't say anything, her mouth set in a cold frown.
She tilted her head, observing him. "Something comfortable?" *** His frown only deepened at her lack of response, and he once again went silent.
He paused, ruffling through the drawers before gesturing to it. "Feel free to look." * * * After an uncomfortable ride, she pulled up outside his place, her hand on the gear shift.
She came over, looking in the drawers and picking out a t-shirt and pajama pants. *** He got out, not meeting her gaze. "..Thanks for the ride."
He sat on the edge of the bed, watching her. "Good choice." * * * She only nodded, glancing out her side window, looking away from him.
She looked back at him, flushing slightly. "I'm gonna go change in the bathroom." *** He watched her for a moment before shutting the door, heading inside.
She went to the bathroom, taking a moment to change before going back to his room, looking in for him. *** (Yoop!)
He was mostly changed, just slipping on a shirt. "You good?" * * * A couple days would pass before there came a quick rap on the door.
She nodded, coming over to him. "Comfortable, as promised," she teased. *** Adonis opened it, his head tilted.
"Did you think I would lie?" he replied, raising an eyebrow. * * * Gwen was there and she stormed in without permission, clearly with something on her mind. "Okay, okay. Let's just review this, shall we?"
