After a surprisingly early and surprisingly positive feedback (_), I here come with more Oz x Alice. And I do not own either... Though that'd be awesome!

Oz sat leaning against the wall just any random day... Just any random day they weren't fighting Chains, just any random day when it was lightly raining, just any random day everyone enjoyed the break and possibility of simply resting indoors.
Just any random day when Oz suddenly realized just how familiar he actually was with Alice's body. Not just because he actually had seen her quite a bit too lightly clad (not that his hormones minded, they were actually doing a happy jig at the memory), but because he had carried her, embraced her, and watched her numerous times... He had actually lost count of the amount of time she had been held to his chest or had clasped her arms around his back or neck (although the future Duke did know she had stepped on him many more times...).

The real reminder of these happy times would be the fact that Alice currently leant against her manservant (as was becoming a very sticking nickname), heavily asleep.

And for not the first time, Oz was amazed at the warmth. Of course there was the body heat, but even so Oz knew for a fact that Sharon's skin was significantly cooler to the touch. Then there was the fact that quite an attractive young woman currently leaning against him, dead asleep. But no, it couldn't be that either, as he had been quite capable of overlooking that fact many times, but had still noticed the warmth.

Perhaps Alice just was a very warm person to the touch? Well, he had compared her to the sun before... So why shouldn't she be as warm as she was radiant? And as beautiful...

No! Stupid thoughts! ... Although she was very pretty, and there was no denying that not being attracted to her would be nigh impossible. It was actually quite the mystery that the Chain wasn't constantly overrun by hormone driven teenage boys... Then again, they'd be dead within seconds. Which, disturbingly enough, was a comfortable picture...

Alice shifted, bringing her arms around Oz's waist and wriggled under his arm, heating the poor boy even further! And again that thing with the warmth...

There had to be a particular reason why... Especially since she was pretty exposed. Just because would be a bad excuse, not a good reason. As it was, the best reason would be that the warmth was actually just Oz's body doing strange things.

Which was very believable, since Alice had just managed to push Oz into lying fully on to the floor, using his chest as a pillow. Again Oz wondered why they were sitting on the floor to begin with, when there was a perfectly unoccupied couch in the same room, less than three good steps away.

Well, getting a chance to be with Alice when she wasn't beating him up or insulting him was always nice... And no one could object to getting a hug. Although the circumstances were less than ideal, it was actually pretty comfortable... And quite relaxing...

Soon, the boy had drifted into sleep himself, snuggling closer to the Chain, with a slight smile in place. Until they were both woken up by a hysterical Sharon, who managed to scare the two into continuously hiding behind the other.

Yes, just any random day for this silly group of friends.

Okay, first of, I'd like to apologize. For what? For all the little mistakes I'm sure to have made; OOC'ness, typos, etc., you're more than invited to point any of those out. In my defence, it's just past ten o'clock pm here!

Secondly, I'd like to thank any who reviewed the first and encouraged me to write this; you know who you are. ~_^ At least, I hope so!

And lastly, I'd like to thank any future reviewers of this one, and I'd like you to know, I probably will be very embarrassed about this when I'm properly awake.

Please, be so kind as to review and tell me what you liked/disliked. Or is it the other way around?
