Ezria: After

Chapter 3

"Do you want anything? Coffee?" Ezra frets over me. I wipe my eyes. "No. No. I...I'm just so tired. I have to shower and sleep." I yawn, stretching. Ezra nods, but I can feel him still worrying about me. I close the bathroom door and undress. I hop into the shower and turn the water on. I'm warm and worked up so I need a cold blast. When I'm finished I quickly wash my face and put on a towel. When I walk out Ezra is still there. For some reason I blush even though I'm covered and, well, he has seen it before. I stand there awkwardly until Ezra looks up. "Oh. You can put on one of my shirts or whatever you want." God, he's so sweet. All the memories I have of him are rushing back. I want to reach out and hug and kiss him all over. Instead I nod and walk into his bedroom. This is awkward. I remember being here not too long ago...I shake my head and put on one of his shirts, which reaches down to my knees. I giggle even though it's not funny. I know I should give him his bed, but...I'm so tired...

Long after I feel a hand slipping round my waist...I don't pull away. Instead I go closer...much closer..and fall asleep feeling a kiss.
