Title: Bed-Hog

Era: Mid-Book 3

Rating: PG

Prompt: Since coming to Spargus, Tera has enjoyed having her own bed and, thus, not having her blankets stolen every night. But the peace can never last for long…

Dedication: Tasha-face, cause these situations always seem to entertain her.

It had been a long time since Tera had woken up shivering and reaching around for her blankets, the situation she now found herself in.

Part of that was the fact that Spargus was much warmer then Haven, and thus she hardly even needed the same amount of covers that she had in the metallic city. The second was this little thing called having a bed alllll to herself.

Upon being admitted to Spargus and given a flat, Tera had been delighted at what the bedroom contained; two single beds on either side of the room. This meant not only would they all be in the same room to sleep, but that Jak wouldn't be able to steal her blankets anymore.

Really, Tera loved the guy, and she hadn't minded sharing a bed with him both in Sandover and Haven, but having him steal her blankets night after night and leaving her freezing in the morning? That she didn't like; the prospect of having her own bed that he couldn't invade had made her giddy.

And now, after three months or so in the desert city, and having never had an issue with being cold in the morning, Tera awoke to find herself freezing. Not only that, but something heavy and fairly-warm was draped over her mid-section, with something else pressed against her back.

And the thing was breathing.

Tera's eyes snapped open as soon as she'd realized that little fact, face flushing cherry red when she figured out exactly what was going on. The thing over her stomach was an arm, and the thing behind her was quite obviously Jak himself, curled around her and somehow managing to stay on the small bed.

He'd probably moved to where he was while being half asleep, and as such Tera was determined to get him out of her bed before he could wake up and question exactly what was going on. She carefully lifted his arm off her stomach and then moved quickly, shoving him off the bed and down onto the floor.

"Ow!" Jak was awake instantly, looking around in confusion. What the hell… how did he get on the floor? Beside Ters bed, of all places? Looking up, he frowned, shaking his head and heading back to his own bed. Naw, she wouldn't know; Tera was still asleep, curled completely within her covers. The warrior couldn't remember having moved, and certainly wasn't about to wake her up over it.

For Tera's part, she remained completely silent, just breathing softly; but had he looked, Jak would have seen her grinning brightly.
