Light shone through chocolate brown curtains onto a sleeping face. A tanned soft looking teen laid their taking a nap. Caitlin was sitting next to this teen. She smiled at the soft snores coming out of her body. She wondered how Emily managed to get a pocket knife stuck in her back and not have felt it. The pink haired teen had made her go to Edward who just sighed with an exasperated fondness and fixed her up.
"She comes here often, dear. Between her and Thomas we have our hands full in the infirmary."He spoke in soft even sentences and seemed sort of owlish to Caitlin. "Let her rest and she'll be fine by tomorrow." They never spoke much but she was glad him and Emily were so close.
Emily opened her hazel green eyes to look sleepily at Caitlin. "Hey…"
"Hey yourself Em."Caitlin said with a smile kissing her forehead. Emily giggled cupping Caitlin's face.
"How'd Ya get a knife stuck in your back?" She asked being a lot quieter than usual.
"Ah you know stopping a purse snatcher. Just a normal Saturday." Emily shrugged. "The old lady wasn't so thrilled with a 'filthy devil's spawn' helping her, but hey can't win em all."
"Really?"Caitlin rose her eyebrow. "Ever the vigilante are you?"
"Oh nothing out of a cheesy young adult novel." She laughed. "But I do like to help out here and there."
There was a comfortable sort of silence, before Caitlin yawned.
"I thought you never got tired?"
"Hmm."She hummed sleepily.
"C'mere." Emily opened her arms.
Caitlin snuggled into Emily before saying sleepily.
"You know I love you right?"She murmured sleepily. "Please don't get another knife stuck in your back.
She smiled amused. "I can't make any promises, but I'll try my best."
"Good."
They fell asleep slowly after that, soaking up the warmth from each other.
