You're so dark (an Alex Turner fanfic)

sea -part2-

Alex woke up, he winced and opened his eyes, it took him some monemts to realize why he woke up.

The second thunder rolled over the bay and he closed his eyes again, listening to the rain that hit the roof. He never liked thunderstorms as much as Ruby did.

She was still sleeping, her head on his streached out arm and her face turned to him. She was breathing calm and slow against his neck. She was a really 'slow-breather' how he often said. It took him some time when they were cuddeling to slow his own breathing a little so they would have the same rythm. When she was sleeping and he awake it sometimes seemed as if she would forget to breathe in her dreams. She looked so beautiful when she was sleeping, he even liked it to wake up in the night, so he could watch her until he found sleep again.

A strong, heavy, nearly frightening close thunder was directly over them and Ruby also moved a little and then opened her eyes, sleepy and slowely cuddled closer to his warm body. She knew immediately that he was awake

She knew he hated those thunderstorms. She lifted her head from his arm and gave him a small kiss on his lips  „Can't sleep?“

He shoke his head a little „Not as long as that keeps on“ he said quietly and pointed up to the roof.

„Ok then..“ she said and cuddled her head on his shoulder „ I'll stay awa-“ but the next thunder swallowed the rest of her words.

He clawed his fingers a little more into her shirt and closed his eyes. Ruby stroke over his cheek and gave him another kiss on his warm lips „I'll stay awake till you found sleep again“ she ended her sentence and put her arms back around him.

„I feel like a small boy who's afraid of a storm..“

„You are a small boy...at least you sometimes have the mind of a five year old!“ she said smiling, her eyes closed, concentrated on not falling asleep again

„Matt is worse than me!“

„He's your boy when Miles isn't around, right?“

Alex only laughed quietly, her plan of distracting him a little worked.

„You know he had the idea of getting a tattoo actually...“

„Really? Of what?“

„I don't know...he didn't tell me...just that I should tell you that he's planning a little attack on the Studio“

„Allright...as I said...I'll stich you and the boys any time you want...“ she mumbled and yawned cute.

„I know“ he said and nuzzled his face into her warm neck. She smiled and slid one hand into his messy but fluffy hair, stroking softly through it. Having such a conversation in the middle of the night was not new to them, both woke up reguarlly and so one allways tried to distract the other from whatever caused them to wake up.

They heared another loud thunder over them and he didn't even wince that badly.

„Seems like the storm decided to just stay directly over us...“ he sighed and kept on cuddeling.

„It will pass! I'm sure..and tomorrow will be the sunniest day ever! I know it!“ she said and kept on stroking over his back with her second hand.

„I feel guilty for keeping you from sleeping...just because I'm a wimp...“

She shoke her head „ You're a romantic wimp, that's something else. And don't feel guilty! I mean I don't even want to know how many nights I kept you awake.“

„You know how wonderful you are, right?“

„Hmm...no....kinda forgot...I wouldn't mind you telling me again“ she put a kiss on his cheek „and again“ she put a kiss on his nose „and again“ she said and finally kissed him on his lips.
