InFAMOUS Second Son - Your Snowflake

Chapter 25

By the time I came through, night had already fallen. Finding myself in my bed once more I immediately looked down to check my attire, breathing a sigh of relief upon seeing that my body was fully clothed. Out the corner of my eye I could see Fetch, who appeared to be asleep in the chair that rested against the wall across from me.

A slight grin graced my features as I took in Fetch's peaceful form. "Guess Reggie had her stand guard this time." I mumbled to myself.

"Then you'd be guessing right, snowflake."

Immediately I snapped my head in the direction of the voice only to see Delsin leaning on his shoulder against the doorway, his hands resting in his pockets and his face bearing that signature grin of his.

"D-Delsin? What are you doing here?" I asked, cursing the heat rising up in my cheeks.

Taking a step into the room Delsin responded, "Well, nice to see you too. I'm fine, thanks for asking."

The smugness of his reply practically forced me to roll my eyes. "Delsin, I'm not in the mood to play games right now."

"And which game would that be, Bella."

His implications caused my blush to intensify tenfold, forcing me to look away out of embarrassment.

"Ah, so I see that you remember." Delsin stated in an amused tone as he continued to make his way over towards the bed.

Despite his approaching footsteps, I refused to look up at the man. Once again I found myself at a loss, my lack of experience in such a situation causing a slight panic to rise up within me. It wasn't until Delsin sat on the bed next to me that I offered up a glance at him, his smirk as mischievous as ever.

"A bit shy are we? I know of a way to fix that." The words fell smoothly from his lips as a hand pushed a few loose white strands behind my ear.

"D-Delsin. Just.....what do you want?" My voice stuttered out. Delsin couldn't help but take pride in his actions. He enjoyed being able to make me so flustered simply with his touch.

"How 'bout you for starters?"

"Delsin!" I shouted, smacking his hand away in the process. "I know you didn't come here and risk your life against Fetch's wrath just so you could flirt with me."

"For you, I just might~"

"Delsin."

"Fine." Delsin sighed in defeat. "I came to, you know.........apologize."

"For what?" I asked with a cocked brow. "The nudity or the fainting?"

"I'm not apologizing for this morning or my actions," he snapped, his voice suddenly serious. "I'm apologizing for not having done them sooner." Without warning Delsin roughly grabbed my shoulders, holding me firmly in place as his deep brown eyes captured my own green ones. "You almost died, Isabella. Your powers were making you freeze to death. You were out for days, Bella. Days! Reggie and I, we didn't know what to do. He said that I could use my abilities to raise your body heat but I almost killed you in the process!"

Pulling me closer, Delsin rested his head against mine. There was no way that I could pull away, no matter how badly I wanted to.

'Don't get attached.' I scolded myself. 'He can't get hurt if I don't get attached.'

"Delsin," my voice was barely audible but I knew that he could hear me. I had to put an end to this, I had to stop this before it got too far. Deep down I knew that it was something that I needed to do, regardless of how badly it pained me to do so.

'Then why can't I pull away?'

"Bella," the smoothness of his voice made involuntary shivers run down my spine. "I-"

"You what, D?" The addition of a third voice was enough to make Delsin and I jump.

"HOLYSHIT!FETCH!HOWLONGHAVEYOUBEENAWAKE?!" The words came tumbling from my mouth before I could stop them. If I wasn't freaking out before, then I sure as hell am now.

Fetch didn't answer, her eyes locked with Delsin's, each of them holding a dangerous glint.

"Your timing is unbelievable, you know that?" Delsin said, clearly irritated for being interrupted for what felt like the hundredth time. Seriously, it was like the universe was trying to make every moment between him and I awkward.

Fetch remained unmoving, silently daring Delsin to try anything. "Not my fault if you can't keep quiet. Honestly D, if you're gonna try to sneak into a girl's room at least be quiet about it. Now get out before I call your brother and raise this to a whole new level of awkward."
