Love And Roses

chapter 4

I steped out of the shower and rubbed my hair dry with my towel. I pull my towel off my head and set it on the counter as I zip my bag with my bathroom needs closed. Just I was headed out of the bathroom the door slamded open revealing a soaking wet Zero. I droped my stuff and tossed a nearby towel at his head, it just slipped off of him. He toom a few steps forward and took off his jacket droping it on the ground,  he pulled of his shirt next. I stood there dumbfounded at what he was doing. He's realy gonna do that here while I'm standing right here?!

He doesn't seem to have notticed me so I pull out my deodorant bottle and toss it at him. He seemed to have stoped as I chucked it at him, his musceles in his back jolted a little when the bottle came in contact with his skin. He slowly turned around with a glare on his face. He stomps over to me but trips on the towel from earlier.  He regains his balance quickly by kneeling, but his nose was now leveled and brushing against my chest. I felt my face go beat red as I tride to back up from him by pushing his face away, I notticed that when I touched his forehead he felt warm. "You've got a cold!" I pulled the towel up off the floor and held it out to him. "Don't be silly." He says as he swats the towel away, I bend down to pick it up as I hear him sniffle and sneeze.  "Yeah right, now hold still." I drape the towel over his head and pull him in close to me as I dry his hair off. He rests his forhead on my sholder as I take care of him.

-Zeros point of view-

I let Raven baby me and dry me off. I give in to fighting touching her and rest my head on her shoulder.  She smells nice, almost like candy. I get sidetracked in my thoughts that I miss her talking to me, when I don't respond she wraps her slender arms around my neck and hugs me. I jump a little at the warmth of her touch, "Relax and breathe slowly." I chose not to fight her and do as told, after five minutes of dealing with the breathing exercise I start to feel sleepy.

I feel Raven pull back from me and wrap my jacket and shirt in the towel that was used on my head and what I asume to be her bright neon blue towel. I stand up and rub my nose as I watch her silently pack up my stuff along with hers. I allow her to take my free hand and lead me down the girls dorm hallways as I sniffle and sneeze all the way. She stops outside a room numbered 13. She fights with the lock before it opens.

She once again leads me by the hand into the dark room. She pulls me into what appears to be the bedroom section and pulls out a large Hogwarts shirt and a pair of shorts, she motions me to change as she heads out to take care of my wet clothes.  I change into the clothing and nottice that the shirt fits me perfectly, as do the shorts.

When she comes back I look at her funny. She sighs and blushes slightly, "What? Their comfy!  Its not like I've ever had a boyfriend." That wasn't hard to belive with how Alice described her and the way she dealed with guys that made her mad. She walks over to the bed and pulls the covers back, she gently nugges me towards the bed. I sit on the edge and grab a hold of the back of her shirt. She turns around and looks at me.

I point my face towards the floor and tug on her shirt ruffly, "Hey hey now, don't go ripping my shirt!" I keep looking down eventually she gets fed up and sits next to me on the bed, I lean my head against her shoulder and let her stroke my hair. She starts to softly hum a lullaby that I'm not familiar with. I start to feel my self drift off to sleep. I lay down on the bed bringing her with me, she yelps slightly as I hug her close to me under the covers. I lay with my face in her chest, she fights me a little but gives in and sighs patting my head. "Night Zero." Is all she says before she rests her head on mine and goes to sleep. Night Raven, I look up and kiss her check before I close my eyes and nestle myself in her chest again.
