He felt her get up and waited for her to leave the room. Just laying there trying to calm down. He took deep breaths for a while and eventually got up and left the room. Seeing her he just kept on walking until he got to his room. " Morning. Bye. " Was all he said and closed his door. He stayed in there for most of the day doing his workout routine over and over again trying to think of something else.

She gave him a weird look and shook her head. Now she worked out a bit herself. But left him a bowl if stew by his door. As she ate in her room with the door closed. Of course she was listening for movement.

He continued to workout until he smelled her stew. Opening the door as quietly and slowly as possible. Just enough that he could stick his hand out grab the bowl and quickly bring it back in.

Kona Bloodstorm

Hearing his door just barely open she smiled. Now she had a nickname for him. But she would tease him about it later. Now she gone and washed the dishes when he left his bowl out. Though by dinner time she once again put the bowl of stew by his door. As she was sitting in her room relaxing.

She was reading a book in the bed. Before putting it on the nightstand and close her eyes. She put her arm over her eyes and yawned. She was wondering what he was doing now.

He could tell that it was going to be night soon. Walking around his room he wondered if he should go be with her tonight like always. He eventually went to her room and just sat on the edge not saying anything or looking at her.

Kona opened her eyes and moved her arm when he came in. Slowly she put her hand near where his was. Of course she was not going to say anything herself.

He put his hand on her but still did not look at hers. He did not want her to see how red his face was. So he just stared at the wall.

She squeezed his hand a bit only to yawn. But this time she didn't bother to pull him down. Laying there she finally gone to sleep and had a smile on her lips.

After a while he turned to look at her smiling in her sleep. Seeing she was asleep he smiled at her. He continued to look at her for a while until he decided to do something he hadn't done in a long time. He laid down next to her still holding her hand. He took a deep breath in and closed his eyes and for the first time in a long time he went to bed.

She had not been aware of what happened. Though the pillow was still roughly in the same spot. But when the sleeping Kona sensed him in her bed. She seemed to put her head a bit closer to his. And eventually she let go of his hand only to roll on her side part way through the night.

He stayed asleep for the entire night. Normally if he did sleep he wouldn't be fully asleep just encase something happened. But not tonight. This time he slept like he hadn't in a long time.

Later through out the night, she moved closer to him. Her head was against his chest and slowly started to wake up. Now she pulled away slowly well blushing.

During his sleep he felt her head on his chest. Felling this he smiled while wrapping his arm around her. When she pulled away he slowly woke up.
