We have been sat in a room for hours. Ray is asleep on my shoulder and Petal is grunting on my knee. The room we were led to gave Ray time to change but it also gave us time to be forgotten.

Ace said he had to finish business before we can settle in properly. Something to do with opening vacancies? Ray jolts awake, smacking his head against the wall and moaning. I smile at him and rub the back of his head as he looks at me quivering his lip. Sometimes we don't need to talk, his eyes say everything.

I stroke Petal rhythmically and Ray takes my hand and holds it in his warming them. They're always cold lately. Hopefully finding a place to settle here will allow us to recover properly before finding my Auntie.

The door swings open and Ace walks in as if he owns the place, he mimics a bow and looks at me, ignoring Ray. "Care to follow me Milady?" He laughs and walks out, Ray and I following with complexed looks.

We walk down three winding corridors which are dirty with age, the old brick crumbles in places and it smells like plaster and grit. We come to a door and it creaks open and we follow Ace through. It's a bedroom. There is a single bed within the little space and a dresser. There's a chair and a slit of glass. I guess that's the window. I turn to Ace "How far away will we be from each other?" I motion towards Ray.

"Oh. Sorry love," he smirks at Ray and winks "this is his room also. We don't have much space in the institute, you'll have to double up." He leans over and strokes a stand of my hair. Creep!

I nod. We can make arrangements I guess. I will sleep on the floor. Ray grabs my hand and smiles tightly "Well if you wouldn't mind, my girlfriend and I, would like to settle in." Woah! Ray has just marked his territory. Ace raises his hands winks at me and leaves the room. Ray shuts the door and rests his head on the beaten wood. "You can have the bed first. We can take turns."

"But-"

"No. Asha go to bed and I will wake you when I need to sleep."

What the? "Ray. What the hell is wrong with you! You're acting weird."

He spins to face me and there is fire in his eyes. "Wrong with me? I'm just trying to be your boyfriend. I don't want other people staring at you like you're something that is owned. I don't trust that guy at all. So if you end up alone with him. You run. But that won't happen because I'm not leaving your side. Ever." He seems satisfied and nods. I just stare back, to shocked to say anything. "Now please lie down and go to sleep."

"No, i'm not tired. You take the first nap." He looks more worn out than me, I'm only being honest. Plus this side of him is new and protective, I want to test it.

He looks at me, eyes still burning, he bites his lip and walks over to me from the door. I step back, feeling the bed against my calf's. He can sure act scary but I know he's really a big softie on the inside. He grabs my waist and heat rises to my cheeks as he squeezes gently, I'm ticklish and he knows it. Then his face relaxes and his hands tighten and I'm squirming in his arms laughing for him to stop. He takes the opportunity and I land on the bed, he's leaning over me tickling all of me and I can't breathe. I shout out "Okay! Okay! You win. I will sleep first!" He laughs and steps back smiling and I raise an eyebrow. I sit up and remove my jacket lifting my T-shirt up in the process, a warm hand touches my bare skin. He pulls the rest of my hood away his hand at my hip all the time, my heart picks up and from the blush in his cheeks, so has his.

Then things heat up. Before I know it Ray is on the bed with me, his legs over mine and his hands under my top, all the while kissing me furiously. He seems afraid he's gonna loose me and the kiss deepens his hands moving to my hair and his lips to my neck, I gasp, this is a first and I can't help but laugh. He moans deeply into my neck sending shivers down my spine. I'm honestly too tired to carry on so I brush my hands into his hair and down his back. He pulls away and his eyes plead for me to carry on. I shake my head, my mind is so tired and my eyes, well I'm struggling to keep them open. Ray brushes my hair back and moves the covers around me, he kisses me gently on the head and my eyes are shut but I hear him whisper gently "Sorry, but I don't know what's gotten into me. I didn't realise I was capable of that."
I just nod and sink into a black sleep. I'm drained.
