This fanfiction is set during this years Christmas special, 'The House', when Lucy goes into Lee's bedroom during the night because she's scared of ghosts and can hear music being played downstairs. This is what could have happened if Lucy's Dad hadn't come in.

I hope you enjoy it. :-)

Lee was lying in bed, he had his eyes shut but he was wide awake. He couldn't get the thoughts of the spooky goings on out of his head and it was making him nervous. Suddenly he heard the creek of his bedroom door slowly opening. His eyes flew open and he froze with fear. He slowly turned over in bed to face the door, and he was relieved to see that it was shut and no one was in the room with him. He sighed in relief as he turned back over to go to sleep but got the shock of his life when he was met with the shadowy outline of a person kneeling right beside his bed watching him. He began to scream until a hand was pushed over his mouth to keep him quiet. And that's when he realised it was Lucy, who was now shushing him to be quiet.

"What the hell are you doing?" Lee whispered, sounding rather annoyed, as soon as Lucy removed her hand from over his mouth.

"I heard a noise downstairs! It sounded like a musical instrument being played. Like the one that boy was playing in that picture." Lucy replied in fear.

"Uggrr, not this again!" He groaned, as Lucy sat on the edge of his bed, "ghosts don't exist Lucy! There are no ghosts! I do not want to hear the word ghosts mentioned again!"

Then they heard it, the eerie music travelled up from downstairs.

"Oh christ it's a ghost!" cried Lee, as Lucy screamed and jumped into bed with Lee, pulling the duvet over her head. When Lee realised this he said urgently

"Lucy what on earth are you doing? If your Dad comes in here he'll have my bollocks as baubles…I mean it Lucy get out!"

"No chance!" exclaimed Lucy, "there's a dead thing down there blowing a pennywhistle!"

Lee pulled the duvet back off Lucy, who saw sense and sat up in bed, still clutching the duvet. "What do you think it wants?" she asked, fear evident in the voice.

"I dunno," Lee replied. And then there was silence.

Lucy turned her head to look at Lee, "It's stopped," she said.

"Maybe he's gone away," Lee replied, sounding rather relieved.
There was silence and Lee turned to look at Lucy. She looked genuinely scared and Lee couldn't help but feel guilty as he had brought her here to stay in this old house. "Look," he sighed, "if you're scared you can stay here with me, just as long as your Dad doesn't find out, I actually want to live to see Christmas day."

Lucy looked hesitant, but she had come to Lee's room to feel safer in the first place. "Alright," she said, still sounding unsure.

They awkwardly settled down into bed together and lay apart, both careful not to move in case they disturbed the other. Then Lee turned to look at Lucy and saw that she had her eyes wide open and was staring at the door. "Lucy there's nothing to worry about, I've stayed in this house loads of times and I've been fine. There won't really be a ghost, we've just been letting our imaginations run wild because it's Christmas and everyone's excited."

"But we heard that music, you heard it," Lucy whispered back.

Lee sighed, "it's probably just some old music box or something that keeps getting knocked and set off by other old junk. All the stuffs still here from years ago." He moved onto his side so to reassure her properly, she looked at him. "Seriously, there's nothing to be scared of."

She moved her gaze away from Lee's and looked at her hands that were holding onto the duvet. "Your probably right," she mumbled. She still wasn't completely convinced but she did feel a bit stupid, after all she was a grown woman and she'd been acting like a child recently.

Lee stayed still, looking at Lucy for a moment. She is beautiful, he thought, and she lying in bed next to me. He'd thought about this for such a long time and now when he'd ended up in the situation he hadn't even realised it. Until now…

He thought he might be in with some chance here, he thought that the risk of her pushing him away was quite slim giving the circumstances. After all, she had come to him, which meant that she must feel safe with him.

"Come here," he whispered to Lucy as he shuffled closer to her and put his arms around her waist. He was a little hesitant at first in case she rejected him, but she slowly turned to face him and leaned into him slightly, although she never made eye contact with him.

Lee was quite amazed that he was now in this position, holding the girl he'd loved for so long. She felt amazing in his arms and he began to slowly firm his hold on her in a protective manor, careful not to freak her out.

They stayed like this for a bit, before Lucy looked up at Lee with a small smile. Lee smiled back and whispered, "do you feel safer now?" She nodded at him in reply.
After a moment she said "I do feel safe with you Lee…I like being with you."

Lee moved one of his hands up to tuck her hair behind her ear as he replied, "Good, I like being with you too." They both smiled and Lee whispered, "now you can go to sleep." Lucy looked down again and thought to herself that maybe she wouldn't mind being with Lee. It wasn't something she'd really properly considered, though it must have crossed her mind a few times. It was just now that she was beginning to realise that she actually did have feelings for him, especially with seeing this gentle caring side of him.

As Lee felt Lucy relax more in his arms he leaned forward and kissed the top of her head. She smelt amazing and her body felt amazing and Lee felt nothing but love for this woman lying with him. Though he didn't think it would ever be possible for her to feel the same about him.

Lucy looked up at Lee again and they stared into each others eyes as Lucy moved her hands to rest on Lee's chest.

They were moving closer together and Lucy moved her eyes to Lee's lips just before they met hers. Lee kissed her softly and moved his hand to support the back of her head while his other hand slipped around to her back. He broke the kiss so he could look at Lucy and check that she was alright with this.

They smiled at each other and sort of chuckled silently before moving in for another longer kiss. Lucy's hands held onto the fabric of Lee's t-shirt, which reassured Lee that she was ok with this.

When their second kiss ended Lee was leaning over Lucy, who was now lying on her back. "Are you ok?" He asked her softly, looking into her eyes to check.

"Hmm hum," she replied with a smile.

"Good," Lee whispered as he leaned in for one more quick kiss on the lips.

He moved back to the position lying on his side with his arms around Lucy's delicate frame. He stroked her check soothingly and whispered in her ear, "goodnight darling."

Lucy smiled closing her eyes and said goodnight back, before falling asleep in his arms feeling the happiest she'd felt in a long time. Lee fell asleep not long after, as he thought to himself that this Christmas was going to be very special.

There we go, thank you for reading, I hope you like it. :-)
