Fuck the Bricks, I'll Buy a House Already Built
"You need sleep, all of you." I told Ben sternly. "We aren't going to solve this problem magically overnight so there is no point staying up every night this week."
He growled.
"Face it, you know it's pointless. You all stayed up for three nights straight trying to figure out exactly what was happening and guess what? Auriele was still targeted and almost taken out successfully, at a WalMart!" I said angrily. "You look half dead, it seems Honey, Auriele, Mary Jo and I are the only ones being forced to sleep! Mary Jo doesn't even have a mate and Dad isn't forcing Mom to sleep!"
"You're fifteen."
"Is that everyone's excuse? I have more energy than you." As I distracted him with the conversation I went with the move that would make the angriest wolves or even humans just fall asleep. I reached up calmly and played with the cartilage at the very top of his left ear. He didn't seem to notice.
"And you're more delicate."
"Didn't seem to think that when you were fucking me." I smirked. Warren, who was my change of guard, was still standing in the corner with a pained expression that told me he was not enjoying the conversation.
I watched Ben's eyes narrowed and smiled innocently. I could tell from his posture he was still relaxing ever so slowly. He still hadn't noticed what I was doing.
"You're a pain in my ass, you know that?" He muttered.
"'kay!" I smiled, "Whatever you want to think, you know you still love me."
"Whatever you want to think." He shrugged, but I could tell he was teasing. I still frowned.
"Sleep."
"No, I have work for your father I have to do, that's why Warren is here." He explained again.
"I know that's why Warren is here, he can stay if he'd like, you'd be asleep anyways.
He yawned and started to shift off the bed and I began to hum, still playing with the cartilage on the top of his ear. It's amazing what magic it works, he fell asleep in front of my eyes, it helped that he was dead on his feet.
I kissed his cheek.
"Sleep." I whispered and nodded to Warren when I got off my bed. He moved to follow me and I shook my head. He looked unsure and I sighed.
"I'm going to talk with my Mom." I mouthed and left. He didn't follow me.
"What are you doing up?" Dad asked from the living room when I reached the top of the stairs and I tiptoed quickly down.
"I've been locked in my room for the past few days, all I do is sleep and eat and get even more antsy."
"Where's Ben?" He raised an eyebrow. I sighed dramatically.
"Asleep, Warren's up there too. Maybe he'll be smart enough to get a little shut eye."
"Porsche, this is extremely important." He gave me one of the angry looks that he only ever gave me.
"And important things need well rested people to handle it." I countered letting my tone take on that weirdly calm aspect Bran's had.
Dad frowned but his eyes held just enough amusement that I knew he wasn't terribly mad.
"Shit." I bit my lip and held on to the edge of the chair in front of me. "Stop dreaming!"
No, I wasn't talking entirely to myself.
I reached up and my fingers brushed the right side of my face and pressed my temple.
Why won't it close?
I heard someone fall upstairs and I assumed Ben tumbled off the bed or something and I growled to myself as my head cleared.
"There goes his sleep."
Dad looked concerned and I shook my head.
"No big deal, just surprised." I waved it off before I listened to the cursing that followed the topple from the bed.
"Porsche!" Ben yelled.
"What?" I called, walking to the bottom of the staircase and looking up.
"That thing of yours that has officially haunted you and your mother, just frigign' landed on my face." I was surprised he had decided to clean his "talking to others" language.
"It doesn't fall and land, it materializes. I know, I know, put it back in the corner, there is a reason I trained it to stay there." I rolled my eyes.
"You trained a magic walking stick?" My father laughed.
"I yelled at it for burning me on purpose and told it if it ever touched me again I would break it in half and burn it." I shrugged.
"Only the top is silver."
"I know, but that's the part that always ends up touching me somehow! Ben, just suck it up and get back to sleep!"
"Porsche," My father stopped me as I began to climb the stairs, "You did the work the teachers sent home for you?"
"Yeah, eons ago." I smiled, "'night, Dad."
I walked into my room to see Ben glaring at the bed from the floor and Warren holding in his laughter. I sighed and picked up the cursed object by the wooden part and replaced it in my corner.
"Get back in bed." I told Ben, pulling him up.
"I got my sleep." He disagreed, I have to go help A-your father."
I heard footsteps and looked up to see Dad leaning on my doorway.
"She's right, get to sleep, all of you, we resume work in the morning." And he left down the hallway. I smiled victoriously and pointed to the bed.
"You heard your boss, march!" I let out a squeal when I found myself flung over Ben's shoulder and I heard Warren actually start to laugh before I watched his feet exit my room. "Put. Me. Down." I struggled.
"Down?" He asked, spinning around.
"No, wait, no, I'm good!" I tumbled onto the bed when he let go. "You'd better watch yourself, I will get my revenge one day."
"One day." He smiled, "Not today."
"Not today." I agreed. "Today you will lay down right here," I patted the spot I was referring to, "And I shall lay down right here," I laid down on my spot, "And we shall sleep. And tomorrow you will attempt to figure out what is going on." While I figure out what is going on.
"No, you won't."
I flinched, crap, I hadn't realized he had been listening in on my thoughts at that particular moment, usually I could feel it when he was. I still had no idea what exactly our bond did because it seemed to do everything but tell the future at this point in time. Maybe it hadn't quite decided…
"I have been nothing but perfect the past few days, no worries." I nuzzled him when he finally got down on the bed next to me.
"That is what worries me, actually it's been worrying everyone. Mercy thought you were dead or something. I mean, your mom-"
"I grew up listening to everyone say 'Adam and Mercy' I know who you are talking about, Ben." I rolled my eyes. "No problem."
He shrugged.
"I'd rather make it a little more normal than it is."
I smiled.
"And I think that is the sappiest thing I have ever heard any were' say, never say anything like that again. I'd rather you just go kill something."
He laughed, he sounded more tired than before though and I knew he really needed to just sleep.
"Fine with me."
In the short silence that followed I reached to touch Ben's face before he suddenly pulled back with a slightly confused glint in his eye before he shook his head and sighed.
"You're right, I need the sleep." He mumbled, rubbing his eyes and taking a breath before pulling me over to him. "And I'm sorry to say, I think you honestly do too, you had a lot of math homework today."
I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"Will you ever let me in on what is going on?" I asked quietly.
"When this is all over and everyone is less stressed out, I'll tell you." He murmured in my ear. "Just, not today. Okay?"
"Okay."
It was weird, he didn't always do this, I'll admit. It could've just been instinct or something because he was tired, but the fact he admitted something was wrong made me a little uneasy, what was I missing?
"Don't worry yourself." I glanced to see his eyes were closed. "It's nothing big."
That was a lie if I ever heard one. Even still I nodded slowly and let myself drift off to sleep.
