you fluff the blanket before laying it on the mix-matched pillows to form a mattress on the bottom of your bedroom floor. the storm outside screeched while your lonely candle flickered enough light for you to see

you sat on the handmade bed and sighed, you heard the door from down the hall close and you knew Coriolanus was finished with his shower. 

the door creaked open to reveal a damp Coryo with loose wet hair sticking to his face, he wore your oversized shirt and his uniform pants

"you're not sleeping there, are you?" he questioned, you blinked a few times to hear what he said until you remembered what you were sitting on

"Oh! yeah, you get my bed" you smiled up at him but he just shook his head

"I'm not stealing your bed, Y/n" 

"It's completely fine Coriolanus, I won't let you freeze in my house" you chuckled, not seeing the issue but Coryo was determined 

"It's my fault for not checking the time...have your own bed" 

your mouth was left slightly agape as your argument left your tongue, too caught up on what was occurring the moment before your mother walked in...what was about to happen between you two?

suddenly you gasp as the room drowns in pitch black, you stood and tried to find the candle that was your only source of light

you instead, hit a body and feel arms around you. Coriolanus lets out an airy laugh as you patted his body in confusion 

"I'm not armed, I promise" he laughs at your panicking, you huff as you squirm from his grip, walking toward the dresser and patting the top to find the matchbox

"I can't find it" you mumble in frustration, you hear coryo sit on the mountain of pillows you try and call a bed and call out,

"don't worry about it. I'm about ready to head to bed anyway" 

you nod and slide your feet over to your bed with your arms flailing around making sure you don't hit anything, once you find it you climb in and close your eyes

"Y/n?" he whispers

"yes?" you whisper back

"Am I still the last person on earth you want to talk to?" he asks, and you think for a moment before saying,

"No."
