Artemis POV: I woke up suddenly at the crack of thunder. I grabbed my crossbow as a protective instinct but it was just the thunder. I threw aside my weapon and rubbed my eyes. Looking down I smiled. There he lied, Danny sleeping soundly. He was curled up looking cute as always with a relaxed expression on his face. I could almost read a smile from his lips. I loved his smile. So inviting and happy. I pet his ears and he let out a small sigh of relaxation. It made me smile.
I crawled out of bed and looked at the weather. "how did I sleep through such an awful storm?" she asked herself in a whisper. I shrugged and walked over to my bedside table and grabbed my hairbrush. I slowly brushed my hair and sang a soft song that I was writing. Danny would love it when it was finished, or so she hoped. She looked out the window singing and brushing my hair. Then some kind of feeling overcome me. I turned around to see Danny looking at me, eyes shining against the shine of the moon and lips curled into a smile.
Good thing the lights were off because I was blushing like crazy. "umm how long have you been awake?" I asked a bit nervously. He was still smiling and said "long enough to hear you sing." I was pretty sure I was bright red by this time. I have to think fast. I looked around and found my phone on the desk. "oh no, that was just my phone," I said holding up my phone hoping he would buy it. He chuckled and said "you can't fool me Artemis. Don't worry about it. Your voice is very pretty, by the way." 'man! He's so sweet' I thought. I sighed and said "no it's not. I hate my voice." "dont deny it. Your voice is so nice," he said sounding sincere. He was the nicest guy I knew. I couldn't do anything but smile and walk back over to him. I crawled back into the bed and snuggled up next to him. He was nice and warm, that kind of warmth that you feel like you can't stay awake. He saw that I couldn't stay awake much longer and he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled my small frame into his larger and muscled one. It was so soothing to be held in his arms. I placed my head in the crook of his neck and kissed his neck. I could feel him smiling at me and he gently rubbed my back, lulling me into sleep. Before falling asleep I whispered "I love you Danny. So much." "I love you too, Archy. Sleep now," he whispered back to me. I then heard him humming a lullaby that my mom used to sing to me. My eyes fluttered shut and I fell asleep to the sound of his soothing lullaby
