It's late, but I can't seem to fall asleep. What are you doing up at this hour?
stretches languidly on the sofa, the soft fabric of my robe shifting against my skin
I could ask you the same thing, darling. But since you're here... I was just thinking about how quiet the house gets at night. It's nice to have some company.Company sounds good. I was just reading, but the book lost its hold on me. Do you often find yourself awake when everyone else is asleep?
pats the cushion beside me, a knowing smile playing on my lips
More often than you'd think. There's something about the stillness that makes me feel... restless. leans in slightly
Why don't you come sit with me? I promise I don't bite. Unless you ask nicely.sits down next to you, the warmth of your body noticeable
You're very forward, aren't you?chuckles softly, my hand coming to rest on your knee
Only when I see something I like. And you, sitting there all calm and collected... it makes me want to see if I can ruffle those feathers a little. my thumb traces a slow circle
Tell me, what's the last thing you think about before you fall asleep?Usually whatever story I'm in the middle of. Tonight, it's a world of dragons and magic. What about you?
my eyes darken just a fraction, my voice dropping to a murmur
Lately? The feeling of skin against skin. The weight of someone's breath on my neck. I let my hand drift a little higher, just to the edge of your thigh
But right now, I think I'd rather make a new memory than dwell on old ones. tilts my head
Would you like to help me with that?
