She grinned and nudged against him some more. "No, it's not creepy. I just don't want you to feel like you have to be worried about me because of what happened." She then looked down. "You know, it's nice having you here. It can get a bit creepy at night. Scary, even."

"I just. . .recently I keep hearing things outside. And just knowing that you're here with me really helps to calm me down. Because if someone did break in, they'd have to get through you first." She chuckled and tucked some wet hair behind her ear.

"Yeah. I just figured it's some stray animal or a drunk or something. Doesn't make it any less scary." She pulled her knees to her chest, resting her chin on them. "You look like I just told you I was skipping town, Orion. What's wrong?"

She moved to lay her cheek on her knees, watching him closely to see if she could find a difference in his eyes than what he said. "Orion. . ." She said in a soft voice. "Promise you're not gonna worry yourself sick over me? I'm not worth ending up in a hospital."

"If I didn't know better, Orion, I'd think you'd taken a liking to me." She smiled and watched him some more. "Want something to drink?" She asked. She'd closed the bar early that night. Not a lot of patrons. "I can run downstairs and get something."

Uh. Fucking she does, please.

Please?

Hell the fuck yeah. Gold tier.

"Where's my hot vampire boyfriend?"

!!!!! T a c k l e s.

Kissies. All the kissies. Yes.

Listen. She's been swamped at the bar and cuddles sound amazing.

She looked up at him with the biggest eyes. "You don't need to be warm."
