Chapter 10

It was late and you were off in a guest room within the manor. Jason had left and you were glad for some peace and quiet again. But you couldn't seem to sleep. You tossed and turned, rearranged covers and bed sheets, and even counted more sheep than you cared to admit.

You couldn't believe you were up so late seeing the day that you had. Facing your troubles you decided to roam the manor. Maybe you would browse some books and fall asleep reading Shakespeare. You didn't feel much like reading seeing as though as soon as Jason left you tasked yourself with reading all the books you could find. It gave you something to focus on which was exactly what you needed.

The kind butler Alfred had been a huge help to you staying here and you did not wish to be nosy but curiosity kept you creeping down the steps and down the maze of halls. After visiting the library, pouring yourself a drink and heading back upstairs you found yourself wondering what Nightwing was doing. You doubted he was sleeping so you set down your drink and continued in search of an answer. You found his room and seeing as the door was locked, you  decided to knock before requesting to enter.

"May I come in", your voice called only loud enough to penetrate through the door. You did not wish to disturb the other residents, whoever they may be.

"Yeah. I was wondering when you'd stop by.", Nightwing replied with a smug voice that made you grin. He had been the thing you were searching for, you realized.

You opened the door and stepped into his room feeling comforted by his familiar smell: cologne. Manly cologne at that.

"I couldn't sleep.", you explained, sitting on the bed next to him,"I was wondering if you could keep me company."

"Sure thing."

The two of you talked and laughed for a good time until you realized how late it was.

"I need to get back to my room. I need rest and so do you"

You got up from your place only to have your arm grabbed. You turned to face Nightwing with a look of query on your face.

"Stay the night.....it's cold."

You smiled with warmth. "Yes."
