Creatures of the Night

Shawn P.O.V

I was not about to let Emily win this battle. We have been arguing over sleeping arrangement and she is truly being ridiculous.

"It's your bed why aren't you taking it?" Emily insisted with her small hands resting on her hips.

"Because I am being nice and because it's my bed I choose not to sleep in it but to let you sleep in it."

"Why should I? Because I'm a girl and I shouldn't sleep on the ground? I am strong and independent!"

"I don't doubt that one bit."

"Then, Shawn, if you do not mind I will be sleeping on the floor and you will take your own bed."

"Nonsense. Emily, I'm not saying you're incapable or not strong, I'm saying you can take my bed."

"Shawn, I'm not sleeping in your bed."

"I won't be sleeping in it."

"I wasn't implying that that would have been a problem.'

"I wouldn't have been?"

"No,of course not." She paused for a good moment, then she realized what she had said and Emily grew tomato red.

"That is not what I meant!"

"Really, because now, I'm kinda interested in what you mean by you don't think it's a problem if we sleep in the same bed together-"

"Oh my gosh I sound like a hoe." Emily brought her fingers to her temples and bowed her head away from me from the other side of the bed. 

"No no no." I walked around and placed a hand on her shoulder but thought about it again and took my hand away.

"You don't Ems, you don't. I was just trying to understand what you meant." I couldn't resist it anymore and i found that my hand was back on her arm again but this time she didn't shy away. Instead she looked at me tired.

"YOu and me both, bud." We chuckled. "You know, very few people call me that."

"What, Ems?"

"Yeah."

"I didn't ask but is it okay if I call you that?"

"Yeah, some people say it weird but, it actually sounds kinda nice when you say it." My heart began to flutter and I realize once again my hand has yet to leave her side. I pull it back and no doubtedly, she saw my burning red cheeks. Great.

"I came up with a compromise." I announced, looking at my bed and about for more blankets.

"And what did you decide?"

"When is the last time you built a fort?"

"I'm sorry?" She cocked her head to the side adorably- I mean.

"I mean, if we both refuse to sleep on the bed then we will both be sleeping on the floor. Let's make the most of it."

"Really? You would mess up your perfectly made bed for a fort for us?"

"The best way to make a fort is to lay down the entire mattress and build around it. It sounds like fun! We can grab popcorn and coke from the fridge and set it up so it faces the T.V. and never grow up. How does that sound?" Emily's expression changed. It was at first quiet and shy, almost insecure. A new look came over her that was similar to what it is when she is with the girls and more. Excitement was it's root and she began to nod, her blonde hair slipping from off their shoulders. I couldn't help but breathe a little. This night was just saved from being completely awkward.
