Invisible - Diego Hargreeves Fanfic

Christmas Gifts

December 21st 2005

I wake up in my bed cozying next to Diego. This is probably my favorite part of the day. Waking up next to him. I look up and he's lightly snoring. Yesterday we had a pretty bad mission. I look at the side of his head where some man cut him last night. It's a bad cut. I quietly get out of bed and go to the bathroom to shower. It's snowing outside. I love this weather. Honestly I prefer winter. Summer's overrated. I let the hot water fall on my skin and sigh. I have some pretty bad bruises on my ribcage from yesterday. Some criminals had busted their way out of prison and we had to chase them around the city and two of them jumped me before I got to do anything about it. Diego opened the bathroom door and pulled me out of my thoughts.

" Good morning." He groaned. I turned off the water so that I could hear him and stuck my head out of the bathroom curtain smiling at him.

" Good morning sleepy. How are you feeling?"

" This cut hurts like a bitch but I'll survive. You angel?"

" I'm fine. "

I rinsed the rest of the body wash off my body and Diego handed me a towel for me to wrap myself in it. I step out of the shower but slip on some water that was there and Diego caught me but I accidentally let go of the towel and I was now completely naked in his arms. I looked at him and he looked at my torso and squinted.

" When did you get that ?" He helped me stand up and traced the bruises on my skin with his fingertips.

" Oh, it's nothing. Last night two of the guys we were chasing me caught me by surprise. "

" And were was I?"

" Chasing some other guys don't worry about it." Diego looked worried. He looked down to my body and his eyes almost fell out of his eye sockets.

" Oh shit. Y- you- you're naked."

" Shit sorry." I wrapped another towel around me that I took from the little closet in the bathroom and covered myself up. Diego started laughing at my attempt to cover up and I blushed.

" It's not funny you jerk."

" It is funny when you could've just disappeared." I blushed even more. Why am I so stupid.

" Oh.."

" It's okay angel I didn't see anything."

" Yeah you did you saw my tits and my ass for that matter."

" Well the tits aren't anything new and I was too busy laughing to look at your ass." He said with regret.

" Whatever." I kissed him on the lips and walked outside to get dressed as he washed his face.

Diego and I have been dating since I came here. I love waking up next to him everyday and I find it interesting that dad hasn't really said anything about it. But then again he hasn't told anything to Allison either, so whatever. I put on a skin tight black turtleneck and some white sweatpants, socks and slippers. I blow-dried my hair and was about to put it up when Diego walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.

" Leave it down for once."

" Why ?"

" Because..." He whined and I chuckled since he acted like Klaus. " Because I love seeing you with your hair down. "

" Fine. But only because you asked nicely." I stand to walk up to him and kiss him.

" You're so hot when you get out of the shower." He tries wrapping his arms around me but he'll get my clothes all wet so I pull away.
