I awake to breathing tickling my neck, and moving my hair. Strong arms hugging my stomach, pulling me against the person. I melt into the embrace I'm in. It feels so safe... like my problems, jinxes, curses, nothing can get to me. 

I turn my head slightly and see Dewey peacefully sleeping, his chest rising with every breath, making him closer and closer to me. A blush raises on my cheeks, but I don't look away. 

I have to fight the urge of hiding my head in his neck. 

Since I'm awake, I keep tossing around. Will I wake him? Uh, I should probably get up and get ready.

I slowly lift my body to get off, leaving Dewey to sleep a little bit more... until a hand catches my wrist. 

"And where do you think you're going?" Dewey asks half asleep.

I smile, "I have training with Liam."

He groans and starts to whine. "Let me have a for a little bit longer..." 

I feel fireworks explode in my heart. He can easily pull me back in the bed with force, so I save us both the energy and slip back into the bed.

He wraps his arms around me again, making me curl up, and him do the same. Dewey moves his head so it's on my neck. Then I notice Dewey's lips on my neck. He doesn't do anything, just leaves it there... but it's the thought that counts...

Dewey wraps his legs with mine, intertwining us even more. 

"Dewey, I gotta go..." I say, trying to pull his hands off my body.

"No..." He whines. "Stay with meeee....." I laugh. 

"Not Liam...." He adds.

Wait- is this what this is?! Is Dewey jealous? 

"Dew. Are you jealous?" I say laughing, until I feel him nod into my back. Then I stop.

"Dewey, you're my best friend! Liam could never change that. Don't worry!" 

He makes a little sound and holds onto me tighter. OK. Is he half asleep... or  is he fully awake?

Alight.... time to trickkkk!

"Dewey..." He hums. "I loooveeee youuuu!" I say waiting for his answer. 

....

"Wait- what?" He sits up and looks at me.

OH SHIT!

"I- I'm kidding! I was just seeing if you were awake or not!" I say.

"Oh." Dewey says, and gets off the bed. "Anyway, time for training!" He says unenthusiastic-ally.  

"Dewey...-" I try, but he leaves the room, closing the door behind him.

....

'What the hell just happened?'

I sigh and hide my head in my hands. He's mad... 

Of course he is! I would be mad if I were him. I shouldn't have joked like that. Now he's mad...

As I get lost in my thoughts, I change into my black suit.

Why did I have to say that? I should have just laid there...

--LATER--

"Earth to Rookie!" I snap out out of my thoughts and I realize I'm already in my training room with Cheeky. 

"You good?" Cheeky lets go of the punching bag which I was punching a bit too hard.

"Uh," I look to Dewey who's playing with his pudding. "Y- Yeah... I'm fine."
