Kenori was always a light sleeper, which is probably why she woke up after feeling movement on her lower body.

She rubbed her eyes, feeling weight on the lower half of her body. Her eyes widened at the sight of Mekhi sound asleep, his head placed on her stomach, his light snores filling the dark room.

She looked at the tv that displayed 'Are you still there'.

She grabbed her phone, reading the illuminated 3:21, making her realize Mekhi had 'accidentally' stayed longer than he was supposed to. He always left before ten pm, because she would wake him, but she must've fell asleep too.

"Mekhi." She called out, lowly. She lightly shook him, his head raised. "Hm?"

"Get under the cover, I know you're cold." She stated. He looked around the room before stretching out and groaning out. "Okay." He stated before making his way to the pillow beside her. He got under the cover and got comfortable in his spot, before she heard his soft breathing pattern return. Mekhi was always comfortable in her bed, so he went to sleep quicker than someone could say sleep.

Kenori was learning to be comfortable around him. Mekhi was very considerable, and she wouldn't know what she would do if she sent him out at 3 in the morning and something happened to him.

She'd just wake him up in the morning. She placed her head on her pillow softly, clearing her throat as she got comfortable. "Kenni." Mekhi's deep voice caught her off guard.

"Hm?"

"Come here." He instructed her, calmly. Kenori was slightly concerned at his request. She didn't get close to people when they were sleeping, or even at all. She never had did it before, not even with Shae unless it was a big reason behind it. So him asking her to come closer in what now seemed like a small bed, made a million things rush to her head. She didn't answer, she didn't move, her heart was beating outside of her chest. She hated how this only happened with him, didn't start until she met him, didn't start until he started talking.

"Kenori." He called out again, this time making Kenori look at him. Mekhi was now looking at her, which slightly made her jump.

"Yeah?" Her soft , raspy voice responded.

"I'm not going to hurt you, Kenni. If you don't want to be close to me, that's fine. Just let me know." He stated. Kenori hesitated, before saying what she was going to say.

"I don't think your going to hurt me, Mekhi. It's just everything your doing is new to me. No one is more affectionate than you, ands it's new. I barely let myself have conversation with new people, and here you come. Being so nice, and happy, and I'm not used to that. I'm getting there with you, I know I am, I want you to know I am. It just makes me nervous, how your so...calm and considerate..and persistent with me." Kenori confessed, for the first time ever. She sighed as she finished and Mekhi's hand made his way to her cheek, making her body tense up.

"Chill out, Come here." Mekhi said Calmly, pulling Kenori towards him slowly. She hesitated before allowing him to pull her towards his chest. His toned arms held her close, before she heard his breathing pattern change, now rhythmically. It informed her that he was now sleep. Her just staring at his chest and his warm body heatdid her justice, since soon she also fell asleep.
