"Trust me, Ellie, by the end of the night you're not going to be able to feel a thing in your legs..."

Ellie woke up with two boys sleeping on her; Dimitri was cradled in her arms with his head on her shoulder while Blaze had his arms wrapped around her waist and his head on resting her stomach. She struggled to breathe from the weight on top of her, groaning to herself before slowly sitting up.

Glancing out of the window, she saw that the sun was just beginning to set. It made her wonder just how long the three of them had been sleeping but she decided to brush the unimportant thought out of her mind, running a hand through her hair.

Her mind was racing. Everything that Blaze had told her was so overwhelming... but she was so thankful that he managed to open up to her the way she wished. Blaze finally trusted her completely, he told her about himself, even if it was just his past. Ellie was thankful for what he could tell her anything at all, and she was not going to push about something he was not comfortable with telling just yet.

"Ellie," Blaze grumbled lowly, kissing her stomach when she hummed. "You're tense."

"I don't mean to be," she murmured to him, managing to remove one of her arms from around Dimitri. She ran her fingers through Blaze's messy hair and smiled when he released a content groan. "Go back to sleep, baby."

Blaze grunted, pushing his body up and moving beside her, resting his head on her other shoulder. Ellie sighed and struggled to move her other arm from Dimitri in her horrible position, causing Blaze to chuckle. He stood up and walked around the bed, picking up his unconscious son and leaving the bedroom. Ellie stayed where she was, grimacing as she stretched her arms and legs out.

"Alright," Blaze said as he walked inside a few minutes later, this time not holding Dimitri in his arms. He sat down at the edge of the bed and laid on his back across the bed, turning his head to face her. "What's on your mind?"

Ellie rolled her eyes with a smile, leaning back on the palms of her hands. "You look really good right now."

Immediately, a grin stretched across Blaze's face, making Ellie laugh at the pleased look that replaced the worried one he wore. "Yeah?"

"Yeah," Ellie repeated, chuckling as his lips curved even more. "You look very sexy."

"Sexy, huh?" Blaze said, smirking at her. That smirk alone caused a faint blush to spread across Ellie's cheeks, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth. "I mean, I like to think so."

Ellie rolled her eyes at him. "Don't let that fat ego of yours ruin this."

Blaze chuckled, sitting up and moving in her direction. Once they were face-to-face, Blaze gripped the back of her neck and tilted her head back, teasing her wanting lips with his. Ellie whined quietly and managed to give his lips a peck before he had pulled away once more.

"Stop it," she complained. "Give me kisses."

"Say please."

Ellie scoffed. "No, I will not say please. Give me my kiss." Blaze raised an eyebrow, his eyes narrowed. "Fine, you don't get kisses anymore. Go away."
