Nik

I started to walk over to Emily Rose when she fainted. I picked her up and looked down at her. She was so perfect and small in my arms. I held her close making sure she wasnt getting wet from the rain my head leaning over her to keep the rain off of her.

I looked back over at Phoenix who was passed out in the ally and back to his own appearance. I was always the better fighter. I started walking away from him holding onto Emily Rose. I didnt know where I could take her. I guess I could take her to my house, but I didnt want her mom to worry. I tried remembering the way I walked out of the house kind of retracing my steps back to her house. When I finally got to Emily Rose's house i breathed a sigh of relief. I knocked on the door and waited for her mother to answer.

I waited like 5 minutes even though I knew it was probably only a minute. When she answered she had a smile on her face, but that smile immediately turned into something of concern or worry; I wasnt so sure. "What happened? Emily Rose?" Her mother called her and ran a finger through her hair.

I walked into the house not even bothering being asked to be let in. "She'll be ok. She just..." I paused. I was going to say she just almost got raped, but I didnt think her mother would take that very lightly so I just said. "She was almost mugged, I saved her when she fainted." I told her mom which was a lie, but its not like she would have known. "Wheres her room?" I asked.

Emily Rose's mom looked up at me and smiled, I could tell she was still worried about her daughter, but I could see she was still relieved see that I had saved her. "Its the one next to the guest bedroom you stayed in." She told me and I nodded going towards Emily Rose's room. When I got into Emily Rose's room I chuckled seeing all the boy bands on her wall. I set her down on her bed and started to tuck her in, but when I was about to leave a hand touched me grabbing my wrist making me stop in my tracks. I looked down to see Emily Rose half asleep and half awake.

"Hmm... Nik... dont go. Stay please?" She asked. She looked so vulnerable and tired I couldnt say no.

"Ok." I whispered and got under the blankets with her. As soon as I got into the bed with her she cuddled into me like a cute little puppy. I wrapped my arms around her and fell asleep myself.

Emily Rose

When I woke up the next morning to get ready for school I gasped at who was laying next to me. My back was facing him and he had cuddled into my back his chest pressed into mine. All I could see was an arm wrapped around me and the warm breath that I could feel running down my back. I shivered and I was a little afraid to see who was behind me holding onto me as it were. I turned around and just like I said I gasped when I found out who was in my bed; it was Nik.

I was surprised he didnt even wake up when I gasped. My heart was pounding so loud I was sure he could hear it. After I had calmed myself down I looked at Nik's sleeping form. He looked so peaceful, more so than when he was awake. On one side his blond hair was rumpled, my sweat shirt wasnt even on him anymore he was completely shirtless. I looked down his chest and my cheeks turned red in a blush. For someone who still had a bandage on his chest from the stabbing that happened to him, he had a nice body. His arms were muscular, but not overly big and he had abs, but werent as defined as most guys. I looked up at his face again deep in sleep. Even with Nik's imperfections he was a very attractive. I wanted so badly to touch him, but I didnt want to wake him up. Unfortunately, he woke up anyway.

Nik stretched letting go of me and slightly made groaning noices as he did. I smiled as he did; his groaning was extremely cute. I was honestly surprised I got so distracted with watching Nik sleep that I had forgotten what happened last night. I could see his wing and I was certain Phoenix even with his ability to change into anyone at will wouldnt be able to grow a wing just like that. "How did you sleep?" I asked him.
