⠀
she didnʾt mind this closeness ٫
not when it was him ָ֢ she let
her fingers brush against his
cheek ٫ eyes resting shut for
the time remaining before he
woke up ָ֢
⠀
⠀
she shifted just a bit closer ٫
letting her hand rest on the
pillow by his head ٫ she doesnʾt
want to wake him up ָ֢
she let his arm stay over her ٫
the touch was comforting ָ֢
⠀
⠀
she tensed up, glancing at the hand
on her shoulder. she hesitated but
rolled back over, surely he was
asleep.. he looked so peaceful..
she trailed the back of her hand
over his cheek before closing her
eyes again.
⠀
⠀
illyana stayed close until the
sun rose ٫ the light that filled
the room earning a whine as
she rolled over ٫ trying to cover
her eyes ָ֢
she just hopped to fall back
asleep for a little while longer ָ֢
⠀
⠀
she ended up with her head
against his back after a while ٫
though thatʾs as close as she
would get ָ֢
she usually was a light sleeper ٫
but the comfort of another person
made a deeper sleep easier ָ֢
⠀
⠀
with the silence it was hard to
fight sleep ٫ eyes resting shut
as sleep finally won ָ֢
it wasnʾt long into her sleep
before she ended up shuffled
closer to him ָ֢ she wasnʾt
even under the blankets ָ֢
⠀
⠀
half—lidded eyes follow his hand ٫
a smile pulling on her lips ָ֢
〝 red is a pretty color on you
lin ָ֢ 〞
feigned innocence ٫ hand resting
by her head ָ֢
⠀
⠀
〝 i have no clue what youʾre
talking about ָ֢ 〞
head dropping to the mattress
now ٫ arm under for support ָ֢
today was long ָ֢
〝 i simply got back to the fight
like we agreed we should ָ֢ 〞
⠀
⠀
〝 you were going after that poor
little shark .ᐟ i couldnʾt let that
slide .ᐟ 〞
one hand reaching over ٫ thumb
brushing against his cheek ָ֢ the
red that had been left behind
earlier smudging with her thumb ָ֢
⠀
⠀
she laughed ٫ rolling to her side
to keep talking to him ٫ hand
under her head to prop it up ָ֢
〝 you were like a little bug that
had just been stepped on .ᐟ all
curled up ָ֢ 〞
she smiled ٫ eyes scanning as
𖬺͟
⠀
⠀
she laughed ٫ shifting to sit up
as she spoke ָ֢
〝 ehh ٫ you can take some of it
i guess ָ֢ we wouldnʾt want your
back hurting after today ָ֢ 〞
playful words ٫ hands moving to
remove what accessories she had ָ֢
⠀
⠀
〝 grabbed a random one ָ֢ 〞
she smirked at his words ٫
a small laugh escaping her ָ֢
words returned in a playful
manor ָ֢
〝 oh ٫ you think youʾre getting
the bed .ᐣ 〞
⠀
⠀
〝 eh ٫ ʾgiant size x-men 14#ʾ 〞
a smile tugging on her lips as
she put the comic down ٫ looking
over at him ָ֢
〝 you gonna kick me out .ᐣ 〞
⠀
⠀
boots tucked under the bed ٫
sword propped up against the
wall ٫ sheʾs reading one of his
comic books ָ֢
〝 you did ָ֢ hotelʾs arenʾt cheap
yʾknow ָ֢ 〞
