Chapter 02
Phases - Snooze Buddy
Featuring: Spencer Petrov and Mathilda Alster
'Romance Movies should be fined or even better banned them from the face of this planet' Spencer thought irritably, reaching for the cabbage which was kept alongside with other vegetables.
For they depicted a very false picture of the said genre; That the couples were so madly in love that they didn't saw the world around them. They would kiss, talk and laugh together. Hold hands in public. One would think that the heaven revolved around them. Probably the best part was the sleeping part. Of course sex made it awesome, but it was the cuddling that was the true sign of affection, according to them.
When Spencer and Mathilda started going out, they pretty much ended up doing most of the said things. Of course at that time, they weren't living together.
Once things finally got serious, Spencer decided that maybe the time has come; for living together. He discussed this with Mathilda and the girl's eyes were welling up with tears already, before he could finish it.
In a week or two, the hedgehog bit-beast wielder moved in the apartment and the living together phase started.
The Russian was surprised actually. Alster proved all of his doubts wrong. She kept all the rooms neat and clean. Burnished and dusted every surface, sorted out the spices according to color code in cabinets and folded the clothes after they came from dry-cleaners.
Living with her was nothing like the rambunctious boys from his team. It was simply haven.
Spencer wasn't religious but he was well aware of this fact that God hasn't made everyone perfect. Everyone carries flaws. He himself believed he was full of them. No one was spared from it, even his girlfriend.
He thought that he has figured his girlfriend out after going out with her for such a long time. Turns out how wrong he was.
It's was just the beginning. And it all started with sharing the same bed in night.
Spencer was asleep when he heard some whisperings. In seconds he sat up and glanced around warily. It's been years since he left abbey and even though that institute was demolished, some habits are hard to leave, like for instant waking up instantly at the slightest sounds.
Everything looked normal. He then looked at the other side of the bed and found Mathilda all curled up. Her brows appeared corrugated and sweat was trickling down her cheeks, all the while muttering gibberish. For the looks of it, she was having a nightmare.
At this the blond blader felt a surge of pity. Serving under a psychopath Barthez, who was rumored to be the lapdog of Boris, it's a miracle you didn't snap under their reign. Still they did impale horrific shards on one's persona, with nightmares being one of the starters.
"Hilda (a/n)" Spencer spoke, lightly shaking the shoulder of his girlfriend. His girlfriend didn't budge, but the mutterings increased.
"I won't cheat…..you can't…"
"Hilda…..hey it's okay"
Still no effect. The whale wielder then scooted a little and wrapped his arms around the petite frame of his lover. Hugs are meant to heal nightmares, right?
It only had a contrary effect.
Mathilda started squirming in his grasp, still not opening her eyes.
"It's okay…..snap out of it" Spencer cooed.
The pink haired blader snarled under her breath and did something which the blond blader was last expecting. She hit him right across his shoulder.
"Oww!" Spencer gasped. For a girl, she hit quite hard.
And it didn't stopped right there. Mathilda continued landing punches and kicks across his torso, finally hitting him on his manhood.
Spencer yelped and rolled off the bed, landing on the carpet with a dull thud. JEEBUS! That hurt!
Mathilda stopped moving her limbs and became relatively calm. She continued snoozing on as if nothing happened.
'Unbelievable!' Spencer thought appalled.
The next morning was even more embarrassing. The couple sat on the table, eating their breakfast. Mathilda's eyes traveled towards Spencer who was wincing in his seat and was cradling an ice-pack near his crotch area.
"Is something wrong Spencer…you got an ice-pack near…" She trailed off, not wanting to say it aloud due to her bashfulness.
"It's nothing" Spencer shrugged it off. The last thing he wants is to make Mathilda guilty. Sure she bruised him, but she was unconscious right?
"But then what happened?"
"It just got swelled, that's all"
"Swelled…..oh you mean" At this the girl cheeks went red. Spencer didn't understand her reaction. However he did choke on his saliva when she spoke the next words;
"I can help you…..if you allow me…"
"No it's not that!"
Mathilda raised her eyebrows "Noi? You got an infection then?"
It took some time to convince her that it was really nothing.
Thankfully the nightmares lasted only for a week. But then another problem arose in sleeping; Space. Mathilda slept like a starfish, arms and legs splayed out, giving little or no space at all to Spencer. A big guy like him could simply scoot her off easily, but he doesn't. Because he hasn't got a gut to do it actually; period.
As a result, Spencer suffered from stiff joints for a whole month.
Followed by the space problem, came the hogging problem. In the middle of the night, the pink haired blader would pull the blanket and wrap it around herself like a burrito. Again Petrov didn't mind it. He was born in the mother of iceland so the cold didn't particularly bother him. Still it felt so lonely.
The last habit did crack him up though; the sleep talks.
They say that if a person is talking subconsciously, it speaks the truth and might end up voicing its deeper thoughts.
It wouldn't have been bad if she didn't talk about Miguel. Because that's what she all talked about. One would think that the pretty boy mattered to her and that pissed off the Russian. And it got only worst with the passage of time when she started referring Spencer as Miguel, thinking it's him.
"Hey remember that time when Claude tried to push Aaron in to pool and ended up slipping on a tiled floor?! It was so funny!"
"I bet it was" Spencer voice came from the floor. Even though the kicking and punching stopped, one can never be sure. So that would explain his sleeping on carpet.
"I miss those times"
"Sure you do"
"Hey Miguel?!"
"Yes?" Spencer answered, his tone clearly carrying distaste on the name being mentioned.
"I have been meaning to tell you something…."
'Jolly good' the flaxen blader thought sarcastically.
"There's a guy I have been crushing on. And I know you wouldn't approve of him because he carries that aura of bad guys….."
At this Spencer straightened up. Could she be?
"Please don't judge me….but I think I like Spencer Petrov….." Mathilda confessed, her face appearing dreamy.
Now that was something new and finally it was about him! Yay!
"Are you mad?"
Realizing she was questioning him, Spencer coughed "Ah no….no I am not. Honestly speaking I should have seen it coming"
"You are not mad! Thank you so much for understanding Miguel! What would I have done without you?"
But then the girl's face got sad.
"Miguel…..i want him…..can't you get him for me please?"
Spencer smiled. He was clearly enjoying this.
"What can I do for you?"
"A plush toy of him would be enough too"
Thinking that it was enough, Spencer got up and slipped underneath the sheets.
"I couldn't get the real guy….but I got the plush toy you asked for"
"Yay!" Mathilda cheered as she snuggled closer to her boyfriend's chest" Thank you Miguel! You are the best!"
"Be sure to take good care of him…"
"Oh I will…"
"I am home honey!"
Spencer paused in his task, snapping out from his trance as his girlfriend came to the kitchen and greeted him. As Mathilda started rattling about her day, thoughts took him faraway.
Sure she wrestled him on the bed, hogged blanket in the night and didn't give him space. And talked rubbish all night. A worst companion she was when it comes to sleeping with her. But she has other qualities that certainly filled those areas.
"Spencer? Spencer!"
"Hm?"
"You got distracted" The girl laughed.
"I sure did"
"I want to help you….what can I do?"
Spencer smiled and leaned forward. He then lightly nipped the tip of his girlfriend's nose.
"Spence!"
Yup, a definite worst snooze buddy, but he wouldn't give her for the world~
Hilda: Spencer nickname Mathilda 'Hilda' on the basis of the last part of her name. Used it rarely...but when he did, it was called out in endearment.
