Red had gotten used to not living with other people. Now that liz was on the most wanted list, it was just the two of them in one of his old safe houses. It was located in the middle of the woods and should have been untraceable. So, they should be able to stay here for a while.

Red knew that he was going to have to hold back on his normal habits, not so much drinking or smoking cigars. Even smaller things were going to need to change as well. He didn't have Dembe with him. So, he was going to have to keep a closer watch on things, himself. He couldn't let Lizzie get hurt.

This was the first way that he was going to have to hold back. The safe house that they were staying in only had one bed which they had agreed to share it, but Red was a bit disappointed in what he had to wear to bed.

"Where are the rest of your clothes?" Liz asked when she saw that reddington had walked in wearing an undershirt and boxers. He gave her an odd look. Why was she wearing so much clothing? Honestly, she was wearing more now than what she wore during the day.

"Lizzie, you're just lucky that I'm wearing anything to bed. I usually don't," red responded, getting a blush from her. He sat down where the covers had been rolled back. He sighed as he sank onto the cool soft mattress. It felt nice compared to the heat from outside.

"Are you gonna be okay with this?" He questioned, looking up at her. There was no need to make her too uncomfortable. She nodded before moving under the covers next to him. He took note that she stayed to the other side of the bed. Reaching up, he flipped the light off and got cozy.

It felt extremely hot under the blankets. So, reddington kicked his side off, leaving liz covered. Sweat slowly started to form on him, making him wish that they had air conditioning.

The heat seemed to increase. Maybe, he could find a room that liz would stay out of. Then, he could sleep on the floor naked. Right now, his clothes were killing him.

When he finally thought that he could stand the heat, liz turned in her slumber and wrapped an arm around him, bringing all of her warmth with her.

His breath caught in his throat as her breath softly ghosted over his neck, tickling and heating him. Normally, he would have enjoyed her being so close, but right now, her warmth was suffocating him. He tried to stay still which resulted in her snuggling closer.

Red didn't mean to push her away as hard as he did, but it still ended with liz yelping and nearly falling off the bed. She stared wide eyed as he sat up and started to rip his shirt off over his head. When it got stuck, he grunted and tugged harder.

"What are you doing?" Liz asked, unsure of if she should help him. She'd never seen him struggling so hard.

"It's too hot!" He stated, still struggling. Liz reached over and untangled him. He gave a huff as he stood up and moved to the window.

After yanking it open, he stuck his upper body out and sighed loudly when the cool air hit his sweat soaked skin.

"How do you sleep in all of that?" Red asked, voice muffled by the wall.

"Why do you sound like you're dying?" Liz countered. Before he could respond, the window pane slammed down onto his back.

"SON OF A BITCH!" Red yelped. Squirming, he tried to get a grip on the panel. Liz sighed as she stood up to help the flailing criminal, taking a second to admire the view this gave her of reddington. She tugged the window open long enough for him to get his head back through. Then, it closed with a loud 'thack'.

"It's too hot," He complained. Sadly, he only had one article,of clothing left, and he didn't think liz would be too happy about it being removed.

"Why don't you try a cold shower?" Liz said, and red nodded. That might work.

Liz laid back down while red went in search of a shower. Luckily, he found one, and it worked exceedingly well. Lizzie was already dozing off when he came back, refreshed. He laid down next to her and sighed again as he sank into the soft bed.

Now that he didn't feel like he was boiling in his own sweat, reddington could actually relax. Soon, he was passed out next to her, snoring loudly. Liz turned to glare at him. How was she supposed to sleep with that noise,in her ear all night?

"I should have left you in the window."
