AN: Alrighty guys so my first fluff story of many is going to be about Mia and Eddie because I think that they would have made an adorable couple. This story takes place a week after Frostbite. :) hope you love it -Sammy
Eddie and Mia:
Eddie and Mia hadn't done much talking since the incident when they had been kidnaped along with Christian, Rose and Mason until late one night. Eddie had been sleeping when he got a text. It was from Mia.
Eddie?... She'd texted. Mia was nervous to talk to anyone from the incident because she thought that everyone hated her. It wouldn't have surprised her if Eddie responded by telling her to fuck off. That didn't happen though.
Who's this? Eddie responded. Mia's heart picked up sped when she got his text and she immediately responded.
It's Mia. Again she was nervous about how his reaction would be.
Oh... Hey Mia. What's up? Why are you texting me in the middle of the night? It was a valid question seeing as curfew was about four hours ago and most of the campus was fast asleep. She couldn't sleep though.
I had a nightmare... about the kidnapping... Mia gulped, remembering her dream.
In her dream, she'd been tied up to her chair just like when it really happened, except this time, the strigoi didn't feed from Eddie, they came over and fed from her and made it hurt. She screamed and thrashed as much as she could but she didn't have a wide range of motion. The vampire fed from her until she was at the brink of death and then he stopped. She was left gasping and bleeding. He had walked away from her and to the dhampirs of the group before Mia could even realize it. Leaning down so that he was face to face with Rose, he snarled and Mia saw her flinch back which only provoked the vampire even more. Without another breath... he leant down and snapped Rose's neck before moving on to Eddie and Mason, snapping their necks as well. Mia woke up from her nightmare gasping for breathe and sweating through her cloths. Instantly she had picked up her phone but it took her a minute to find out who to text. Eddie was one of the only people that understood what it was like.
Oh... You want me to come over? His text shocked her. He wanted to come over? Mia knew that Eddie and Rose were notorious for sneaking out of their dorms and partying with countless other dhampirs and moroi but they never partied in the moroi dorms; they were way to hard to get into, weren't they?
For a second, Mia didn't know how to respond. Did she want him to come over? She didn't know. It took her about a minute before she decided to just go with her instinct.
Yeah... if you can. That would be great. The nightmare really freaked me out and I'm not sure if I'll be able to fall back asleep :'( Mia texted back.
Eddie was a little shocked at himself that he offered to come over. Sure, he'd snuck into moroi dorms before and it was tough but not impossible but it had always been for a party or one of his close friends but never for a single girl. He felt back for Mia though. Mia was a moroi, and a fragile one at that. Unlike Mia, Eddie had been trained his whole life to handle these types of things. Sure, he'd had dreams about the incident but mainly they just consisted of memories of him and Mason or him, Mason, and Rose. They were never nightmares. That might have been because he had been to high on vampire endorphins to notice any of the bad things though. However, he understood that Mia was hurting and probably scared shitless so he would take the chance for her to be content and get a good nights sleep.
I'll be right over. Just give me a couple of minutes to work out a plan to get past the guardians. What's your room number? Eddie texted back. Guardians always guarded the moroi building heavily, partly to make sure that nobody was hooking up in the middle of the night but also to make sure that none of the moroi were hurt and nobody can get into the building to hurt them. They don't do that for the dhampir though because obviously we aren't good enough. Eddie thought with an irritated attitude about it. His attitude didn't last long though because he remembered the phrase that had been drilled into him since he was three years old "They come first" he took a breathe and tried to figure out a plan that would get him into the building.
Room 203... thank you, Eddie. Mia smiled at the thought of Eddie coming over but her smile instantly turned into one of confusion. Why was she so happy that Eddie was coming over? She tried to tell herself that she was only happy because she wouldn't be alone.
You're welcome. Eddie smiled as he sent the text. He'd worked it out and felt pretty confident that he would make it to her dorm unnoticed.
Mia smiled and laid back down in her bed while she waited for Eddie to come. It was about a half hour later that Eddie came and Mia was still cuddled up with a pillow in bed. She was still scared about her dream. She kept thinking to herself about how vivid it had been. Thinking about it made her shiver. The reel of pictures of the evil vampires stopped when she heard the softest knock possible on her door. Standing up from her bed, she realized that she was only wearing a teeshirt and boyshort underwear. It was dark, though, so she didn't really care.
When she opened the door, she saw a very tired looking Eddie wearing black and red checkered pajama pants and a tight black tee shirt. His hair was messy much like her own. She smiled at him and let him into her room before she gently shut and locked her dorm room door. In the awkward silence of the room, the door sounded to loud and they both jumped at the noise, worried that it might wake someone else from the building up or alert the guardians. In actuality, the voice wasn't very loud but that didn't stop them from worrying.
After standing still, in complete silence for a moment, they looked at each other. Eddie came over to Mia and tentatively wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him. Eddie had always been a loving person and he had a big brother quality about him. Mia rested her head on his chest after she wrapped her arms around him neck. She held onto him so tight it was almost like she was fighting for her life but Eddie didn't mind, it just made him hold her tighter.
"What happened in your nightmare?" Eddie whispered to Mia. As soon as the words left Eddie's mouth, Mia felt tears spring to life in her eyes almost instantaneously. Eddie could feel her change and he led her over to her purple and black sheet covered bed. When they sat down, Mia didn't leave Eddie's side and he didn't mind. He let her cry into his shoulder until she could breathe enough to tell him what was wrong.
When Mia finally brought herself to take deep breaths instead of gasping for breath while she cried, she brought her head off of Eddie's shoulder and wiped her face. "I'm sorry..." she whispered and looked right into Eddie's eyes.
Eddie's eyes were staring right back into hers when he said, "It's not a problem." He broke eye contact only when a small blush came across the skin on his cheeks. I never really realized how pretty she is... especially with her blonde curls messy on her head. Eddie thought to himself. Eddie couldn't help but notice that she looked nervous.
Mia nervously looked away from Eddie and mumbled, "Can you... can you... maybe stay over tonight?... I don't think I'll be able to fall back asleep if I'm alone." she whispered nervously. Eddie smiled at her nervousness but understood it. They weren't exactly friends since she'd tried to ruin Lissa's and Rose's lives but they did have something in common. They both lived through a horrible moment in their lives together.
Taking a deep breath and trying to fill himself with confidence that he wasn't sure existed anymore after losing his right hand man, Eddie laid down on her bed and took her down with him. They were both laying on their sides facing each other with only the soft sound of their breathing filling the room.
"Is that better?" Eddie breathed out, beginning to become nervous himself, being next to a beautiful girl in her bed when he knew that he shouldn't be.
Mia nodded and started closing her eyes, "Yes." she breathed out before closing her eyes. When her eyes were closed, she leaned over and laid her head down on Eddie's chest and wrapped one arm around his stomach which was covered in abs from all of his training. Eddie and Mia both smiled to themselves at the close contact.
Eddie whispered, "Goodnight." and closed his eyes when he wrapped his arm around Mia's back while she laid in his arms. He loved the way she felt in his arms.
Mia loved being in Eddie arms and she didn't understand why. She passed it off as just loving the feeling of not being alone. "Goodnight." she said back to him. She barely felt him press a kiss to the hair on the top of her head and she smiled before quickly falling into a heavy, much needed sleep.
Before she was completely engulfed in the darkness of sleep, she could have sworn that she heard him whisper, "So beautiful." almost inaudibly.
When Mia woke up in the morning, she was alone again. Where Eddie had been lying when she fell asleep, there was a note: I'm sorry to be gone when you woke up but I needed to get back to my dorm before the guardians were fully awake. Text me if you need anything :) -Eddie
Mia initially felt upset that he had left but she understood why he would. Maybe if she was lucky she would get to hang out with him today... she smiled at the thought.
AN: Alrighty guys! What did you guys think about that? I've had that story in my mind for a few days and I wanted to write it. So I'll be updating this story with little mini stories randomally but I will be updating for sure :) love you all -Sammy
