Chapter 6- Curious Happenings
Leo 3rd Person
Leo awoke slowly with his first thoughts being on the fact that he was holding something. Something soft and warm and furry, he didn't want to let go of it but was also curious about what it was. He opened his eyes. "OH SHIT." He was holding Aeris, her head was under his chin and his hands were across her waist. "God I'm in for a beating now." "In all of the years I've lived with Aeris I don't think I've ever been this close to her." But then he noticed something interesting. When he looked at down at her face she was softly smiling in her sleep. Not only that but she was holding his hands, preventing him from moving them. "You know, even though I know I'm going to get a beating, I really like this." He was warm and comfortable but more importantly to him, he was practically cuddling with Aeris. He got a quick glance at the clock, 6:46am. He sun was beginning to rise. He looked at Aeris again as she slept, felt kinda stalkerish but he couldn't get over how good she looked. Of course he would never say anything about this but he still thought it. Her big blue eyes, her nicely shaped body, her pink and white fur, that's what he liked the most, she was different. He always liked that about her, she was different than most girls in many ways. First of all she was pink, but she was different personality wise too. He could relate to her in many ways. Their interests were very similar (Video Games). "Do I love her?" He pondered this thought, and answered it pretty quickly, yes he did. He loved her more than anything else in his life. Just being around her made him a bit happier on the inside. This has been true ever since he was a kid and he first met her. He's felt this growing love for a long time but just tried to deny it and keep it on the inside, in the very back if his mind. He didn't love her for her looks, "although they sure helped", he loved her because of who she was, a gamer and a friend. A damn good friend to put up with him this long and then come and find me when I left. "Wait… does she love me? That would explain all of this." These thoughts began to bounce around his head. "She is holding my hands, but she's sleeping. She is smiling though, but still asleep. She chased after me after I left…" He pondered his thoughts until he Aeris start to wake. "Oh boy here it comes." He cracked his eyes and was able to see a little. She was awake but not moving, just lying there. Then she rubbed one of Leo's hands and snuggled up closer to him "Ok I'm dreaming, no doubt about it. As much as I want to believe it's true, it's not this would never happen. Or would it…" She then peeled back on of Leo's arms from her, got up, and went to the bathroom. She came out 2 minutes later and got back into bed. Then she did something totally unexpected, she rolled over and snuggled into his chest and fell asleep. At this point he didn't care if he was dreaming, she was snuggling into his chest. Then she fell back asleep again, softly smiling. Leo was beginning to fall asleep again when he heard Aeris whisper something he couldn't quite pick up.
Aeris 3rd Person
Aeris woke up nice and slow, feeling the same feeling she felt when she woke up in the middle of the night, the need to pee and comfort. But she didn't want to move, she rubbed one of the hands she was holding on to and snuggled up a little closer to Leo. She was nice and warm against his fur. She looked over at Leo, he was still asleep. "Thank god. It was going to be pretty awkward to wake up like this i cant imagine how weird it would be if he saw that." Then she looked at the clock. "Oh it's 6:50. I'll just pee then go back to sleep." She hurried into the bathroom almost pissing herself and did her business, then got back in bed and snuggled into Leo's chest. He was asleep so she didn't worry about him noticing. She now was at the peak of her happiness and comfort. She began to ponder a thought she had before she fell asleep. Leo and her feeling's for him, she didn't want to be friends anymore. It took him leaving to realized that she loved him, that's why she put up with him, that's why she chased after him, that's why she was here now. "I love you Leo." She whispered. She saw one thing that surprised her somewhat just before she shut her eyes. Leo was smiling now. She was too tired to think about it though and fell asleep in Leo's arms.
Aeris began to wake up an hour later. She slowly opened up her eyes and found herself staring into to the eyes of Leo. "Uh hello." Aeris said slowly. "Hi." Leo said back. "Is there a reason your staring me down?" Aeris asked. "Well if you haven't noticed you're kinda cuddling with me." Aeris blushed as she remembered the position they were in. "Yes I am." She sat up and Leo sat up next to her. "You want to explain that?" Leo asked. "Were you attracted to my impossibly muscular frame?" Leo asked teasingly flexing his arms. She elbowed him in the gut. "I don't know how it happened but it did ok. Let's just pretend that it never happened." Aeris replied. "Ok then, but I call shower first!" Leo jumped up and started for the bathroom. "Fuck you!" Aeris shouted back and jumped up from the bed. It was a close finish but Aeris was on the side of the bed that was closer to the bathroom and got in there first. "Victorious as usual!" Aeris said through the bathroom door. "Yeah, Yeah…" Leo said back. Aeris turned on the water and waited for it to get warm. She stepped in and began thinking about last night. How good she felt and how she hadn't slept that well in a long time. Then she remembered something else, his collar. It was in the car, she would give it to him later. She turned off the water and got out of the shower. She put on some clothes and brushed her hair. She opened the door, to see Leo leaning up against the doorway. "My turn."
Leo 3rd Person
He went inside the bathroom and started the water. He felt somewhat hurt. She lied to him, this hit him hard. She never lied to him no matter what. But I guess this was different but still it hurt. "What was that all about last night? Was she just really tired and cold or did it mean something?" he was so lost in thought he just stood there in the shower and didn't really do anything but soak up the water. Then the water started turning cold and he turned off the shower and walked out. He threw on a shirt and put on his pants. When he walked out of the bathroom he saw Aeris standing by the bed with all everything packed up. "Ready to go?" Aeris asked. "Yeah." Leo responded somewhat quietly. Aeris looked at him with a concerned face after he said that. "You alright?" Aeris asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go." Leo said. He was too busy thinking of what happened last night. Trying to think things through, trying to wrap his head around all the stuff that happened here recently. It has just all gone by so fast, these last two days. "You want to drive?" His thoughts were interrupted by Aeris's question. "Sure." He said somewhat distracted. Aeris stopped in the hallway and looked at him. "Are you alright? You seem, off…" Aeris had a concerned face. "Yeah I'm just thinking..." He responded. "About what happened this morning?" Aeris asked. "About the past two days Aeris. It's just been fast and confusing." "Okay, well let's get checked out of here and then we can talk about it." "Talk about it? What are you leading on to Aeris?" They checked out and left towards the car. Just as Leo was about to get in the car Aeris stepped in front of the door. "Now tell me about what happened the last few days." "Starting from where?" "The very beginning leaving the apartment." And so he did, he told of packing up all of his stuff at 1 in the morning, he talked of the nice truck driver the driver and about the conversations they had. He talked of the hippies. He told her of finding out that she was here and of trying to avoid her. She stood and listened intently. "There's only a few things I don't know Aeris. Why did you come after me? How did you know I was coming here? Why have you put up with me for so long!" He was almost yelling now. "Why did you come after me Aeris! I'm a dumbass and a fuck around and an all-around annoyance! And this morning? I was awake at 6:50!" Aeris's eyes got bigger after he said that. "Yeah, that thing this morning, I saw that! I dont know what the fuck you said, but you cuddled with me! What the hell is going on Aeris!" He looked at her, she was a bit stunned. He had never yelled at her before. He felt guilt. "Look I'm sorry that I yelled, it's just that I'm trying to figure this out." He scratched the back of his head "You've got me confused Aeris." And the reason why i trying to figure all of this out, is well..." He mustered all of the strength in his inner-being. "I love you." They both said it in unison. Leo's eyes were as big as the moon. Then Aeris answered his question. "Leo I love you that's why. I knew it form the start. I love you Leo, that's why I tolerated you, that's why I chased after you, that's why I'm here now. Because I love you with all of my heart. Leo stared into her blue eyes. "You have no idea how long I've waited for you to say that." He said with tears in his eyes. Then they both advanced and passionately kissed. As they did Aeris reached across his neck and put something on. When they released for air he looked down. "My collar!" He exclaimed. "You found it!" "The driver of the truck you rode on gave me this. He said you showed him a picture of us and recognized me from that. He also told me where you were actually headed Leo. But that doesn't matter now, what matters is that were together and we are going home." Leo nodded back and they both got in the car and began the 3 hour drive back to Toronto.
