Calloused

18

"They're 10 minutes away." H said as he shifted underneath me. We had moved to a more comfortable position, and now we were lying down on the couch.

I rested my head on H's chest. I could hear his steady heartbeat as he breathed. His arms were wrapped around my waist as his hand drew lazy circles on my lower back.

I looked up to find him staring down at me, a small smile formed on his lips.

"Hm?" I hummed.

"You're just so beautiful." He whispered before he leaned down to peck my lips. I smiled and laid my head back down on his chest. I felt my eyes get heavy.

"Two minutes." H whispered as I felt my eyes close.

..☆H☆..

I laid beneath her as she drifted away to sleep. My eyes were heavy as well, but I knew I had to stay awake. The guys were coming, and I needed to brief them on what we knew so far. But I couldn't bring myself to wake S up. She looked exhausted from all the stress.

A part of me hated how fast I fell back into her. She was like a high I couldn't get enough of.

No matter how much I wanted to deny my emotions for her, I couldn't. I was a fucking moron.

It had been a few days since I had gotten some solid sleep. Although that's how insomnia works. It often came in handy in my line of work but it was always a bitch when my body finally crashed.

I heard the door unlock as I stayed where I was. My eyes met with a pair of icy blue one's. His blonde hair made me glare as he entered into the room rather loudly.

"Oi, looks like Romeo and Juliet are back together." Niall smirked as he set a duffle bag down next to the desk. Liam and Louis did the same with their back packs after they had closed and locked the door behind them.

"Stop teasing." Liam scolded Niall as he brushed past him and headed towards the hallway.

"You should get some rest, you look like shit." Lou sighed as he sat down in the computer chair. He cracked his knuckles before going to work on the computers.

"I would, but I need to catch you guys up to speed." I snapped at him. S started to stir against my chest.

"We'll be alright for now. We'll keep watch while you sleep. Once you wake up you can fill us in." Liam agreed with Lou. I sighed in annoyance, I knew my body needed rest.

I shook S in an attempt to wake her but all I got was a low grumble as she shifted closer to me. She wasn't going to cooperate so I moved her body with mine as I got up.

I managed to get to my feet with her still sleeping in my arms. I carried her to my bedroom and laid her down on my bed. I pulled the covers over her as I went to change out of my jeans and into some joggers.

I entered the bathroom and shut the door behind me. I was careful not to bend too much. I didn't want to tear the stitches S had given me. I had already lost a good amount of blood, no sense in losing anymore.

I would be useless if I ended up bleeding to death.

My mind was in a disarray of feelings and emotions, things I had tried to leave behind.

Emotions were something that I often struggled with. I found it far more easier to communicate with my bare hands and violent nature. I was a rabid dog before I met S, I had been far more mindless and reckless.

She molded me into a much better man, a better solider. Her father would of executed me if anything were to have happened to her. Those same rules apply now.

Once I returned I found S flipped over on her stomach with her face buried into one of my pillows. I couldn't help but smile at how childlike she was at times. It blew my mind that such a beautiful woman could hold so much fire inside of her being. She was hell on earth but still managed to make it feel like heaven.

I laid on my back beside her. What if she decides she doesn't really want me? I'm pretty sure she's been with other men while she's been away. Hell, I couldn't blame her. Any man would be lucky to even be in her presence alone.

The thought made my blood boil. No one deserved her.

Not even me.

I sighed angrily as I continued to stare at the ceiling.

"You should be sleeping." S said sleepily, her voice made my anger vanish. I turned my head to see her facing me now. She had the sheets pulled up to her eyes.

"And you should be sleeping." I retorted with a smirk.

"After I piss." She grumbled, pulling the covers off of herself and getting out of bed.

"Sexy." I laughed dryly.

"Shut up, go to sleep." Sky fired back before closing the bathroom door behind her.

I sighed heavily as I closed my eyes. I focused on my breathing instead of my thoughts.

I heard the door open but kept my eyes closed. I felt the bed dip next to me. I opened one eye, stealing a look at the succubus that had entered my bed.

Her dark hair was down, falling just below her shoulders. She had taken her hoddie off. She wore just her joggers and a black, fitted tank top. It accentuated her boobs very well.  I felt my mouth run dry at the thought.

"Someone once told me that it's rude to stare, love." She smirked, catching me.

"They must not have eyes then." I coughed awkwardly.

"And what are you implying, lover boy." S challenged, leaning closer to me.

"Clearly they've never seen someone as attractive as you." I whispered.

"Maybe you're right." She hummed as she played with the hem of her shirt.

"Or maybe you're wrong." She challenged with a seductive smirk.

"Is that a challenge?" I asked playfully. She shook her head.

My hands reached out to her waist and pulled her towards me.

"I'm never wrong." I whispered as she laid her head on my chest. She wrapped her legs around me as she traced the tattoos on my bare chest with her finger.

I missed her touch and the way her soft skin felt against mine.

"And I'm the fucking tooth fairy." She hummed quietly.  I chucked at her smart-ass comment.

"Fair enough." I sighed heavily as I closed my eyes.

She continued to trace my tattoos, relaxing me. She placed a soft kiss on my chest after she was done.

It was silent as we fell asleep, our bodies wrapped around each other.
