Chapter - 9 ~ A Surprising Change Of Hearts

Red's POV: 

I woke up, Chloe and I tangled together. It was around 2 in the morning. The room was entirely dark, but I shook it off. I untangled our legs and went to the bathroom. After doing my business, I made my way to the kitchen and grabbed a Ghost Energy, Blue Sour Patch Kids flavoured, and chugged it. The sweet and sour flavor stung in my throat with the carbonation. I walked over to the TV and turned it on, unaware of somebody in the dorm. 

Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around my waist, picking me up and carrying me to the bed. They through me down on my bed, laying down with me. Their scent, it was Chloe? She must have woken up when I turned on the TV. She laid on my chest and held me down tightly. "C-chloe?" I was nervous as fuck. She didn't reply verbally, instead she just grumbled angrily. Great...

"Chloe, Are you good?" She sat up and looked me dead in the eye. "Red." Her voice was low and quiet, barely above a whisper. I nodded slowly, she laid back down on my chest. I played with her hair and hummed, she calmed down and loosened her grip, snoring. She was finally asleep again after about 30 minutes! 

I stood up and tucked her in, then going back out to watch TV. I sat on the couch, consumed in the show. I sat there watching, utterly unaffected by everything else. It was late, my eyes were heavy and I was tired. But I kept awake, not daring to even consider going to bed.

Chloe's POV:

I woke up, hugging Red. "Hmm, Red..." No reply. "Red?" I sat up, rubbing my eyes as I gazed upon the soft surface. I was in her bed, hugging her pillow? She's up again?! I groaned and silently snuck around the dorm. I found her consumed in the TV show. I turned off the TV and watched from behind as she was confused. I lifted her into my arms for the second time that night and carried her to her bed.  

"Chloe?" She immediately tensed up and scooted back. She was shaking and her breathing was heavy. "Red, honey? Why are you scared?" Red looked up at me with fear in her eyes. "Are you mad?" Her voice was shallow and shaky. "No. I just want you to get some sleep tonight." She looked down and I cuddled up against her, she didn't move. I nuzzled my face into the crook of her neck and I felt her untense. 

"Please calm down, I'm not mad! I'm just tired and I need you to sleep..." I felt Red wrap her arms around my waist. "Then I'll stay, I'm just not as tired as you.~" Red chuckled and played with my curly blue hair. She was humming the same tune as always, then her breathing evened. She was finally asleep, I pulled up her red blanket covers and drifted off to sleep with her.

Red's POV:

I woke up, Chloe was sleeping on my chest, nuzzled into my neck. "Chloe?" I whispered, trying to be quiet. She grumbled. "Chloe, don't you want to meet my mom?" And with just those eight words, Chloe snapped up and rubbed her eyes. She was smiling brightly as she sat up. "Come on, lets go!" She got up and raced to the bathroom.

BAM!!!

She... her dumbass ran head first into the door. I jumped up and ran to her, "CHLOE!" Chloe got up and rubbed her forehead. "You good, babe?" "I'm fine!" Chloe was so excited that she got up and ran into the restroom. After about 40 minutes, we were both ready. Chloe wearing the same fit from the first time we met. She even had her damn sword. "Nuh-uh!" I pointed at her sword. "Put that back on the stand, you won't need it." I demanded.

Chloe looked at her sword."This sword?" "Yes." "The one attached to my belt?" "Yes" "This belt?" "Yes." "Put this sword back on the shelf?" "Yes." "That shelf?" "Yes." "On my dresser?" "Yes." "To go to Wonderland?" "Preferably." Chloe sighed and put her sword back on the shelf, groaning as she took off her belt. She then walked to me and kissed my cheek.
