'Thoughts'
Mai didn't want to open her eyes because she wanted to continue sleeping. It was so warm and comfortable that she didn't want to go anywhere else ever. She sighed softly when the arms around her tightened slightly.
Wait! Arms!? Mai exclaimed in her mind.
Mai's eyes snapped wide open as she tried to sit up. The arms that were around her waist did not let go when she jerked upwards. She froze and turned to look at the owner of previously mentioned arms. Fear was the most prominent emotion in Mai's mind as she slowly turned around in the arms of her 'captor'.
Lin!?Mai practically screamed in her mind. She blushed furiously as she looked at his face. His face was different then when he was awake. Lin had a small smile on his face as he continued to sleep. It made Mai wonder what he was dreaming about. She honestly couldn't guess what Lin was dreaming about since he never talked about himself.
Mai shook her head, This is not the time to think about that! She gently grabbed Lin's arm to pull it off, but it wouldn't budge. In fact it seemed to get tighter pulling her even closer to him. She blushed even more making her face as red as a bouquet of roses. Sadly it seemed her only chance of getting out was to either to wait till Lin wakes or wake him herself.
Her eyes shifted to stare at the clock. It's 4:47 in the morning?! Why am I awake? Mai asked herself as she continued to stare into space.
Suddenly she felt Lin's arm loosen from it's grip around her. Mai turned her head to look at Lin to see him staring right back at her with slightly sleepy eyes.
"Lin-san! I'm so sorry for waking you up." Mai exclaimed. She sat up and looked down to Lin who was still laying on the bed.
Wow... Lin looks kind of disheveled unlike his usual self. It kind of makes him more handsome than usual. Mai thought to herself.
"It's not your fault I always wake around this time." Lin spoke softly. He sat up next to Mai and looked at her. "Though I would have thought you would still be asleep." He stated turning his head to look at her.
She nodded, "I am surprised too. I usually don't wake up till around 6:30." Mai responded to his statement. She moved to ward the edge of the bed to get up but Lin stopped her with a hand on her arm. She looked over at him and he had a slightly worried look on his face.
"Did something wake you up?" He asked the concern prominent in his voice.
Mai smiled at Lin and shook her head. "No, I don't know what woke me up. Don't worry though, I am fine." Mai said with that smile still on her face. At that Lin seemed to calm down a little. It was then that Mai remembered that she had asked for Lin to stay the night and he had. She leaned forward and wrapped her around Lin's neck.
Lin stiffened but relaxed and wrapped his arms loosely around Mai's waist. They were like that for almost two minutes before she pulled away. Once she saw the questioning look in his eyes she spoke.
"That was for staying with me last night. A thank you." Mai said in answer to his unspoken question. Lin only nodded at Mai and then got off the bed. She stood up as well and started to walk to her backpack which held her clothes and bathing supplies. Her blush faded all the way as she shuffled through her bag in search for a special item.
"Found it!" Mai exclaimed as she pulled a small box out of her bag. She turned to look back at Lin with the box in hand. Lin looked down to discover that it was a box of his favorite blend of coffee. He looked back up at Mai with the same questioning look as before. She smiled yet again, "I packed this with my stuff because I know that you prefer coffee over tea." she stated before setting it down on the dresser next to her.
Lin was surprised that she knew his favorite blend of coffee. He never had mentioned it before. How did she know? Lin asked himself as stared at Mai, his mind lost in the void.
Mai was getting worried since Lin was just standing there and staring into the void. She started to wave her hand in front of his face to try to bring his attention back to Earth. Lin blinked and noticed what Mai was doing and reached out and grabbed the hand in his face.
Mai gave a little blush as he grabbed her hand. She shook herself in her mind to bring her back to the main subject.
"Was there something that you needed to say, Mai?" Lin asked as he watched her loose concentration for second.
"Ah, I was going to ask if you wanted me to go and make the coffee?" Mai questioned as she shuffled her feet a little. Lin nodded and gave her a small smile that took her breath away, stealing it from her lungs. She nodded and started to leave the room for the kitchen, but Lin's grip on her hand stopped and turned to look back at him.
"I wouldn't go out there in the clothes you are wearing right now." Lin stated glancing down and then to the wall to her left with a little blush. She looked down and realized that she was only wearing a big t-shirt that reached mid-thigh. Of course she was wearing a bra and underwear but there was nothing else on other than that.
Mai blushed furiously and rushed to her bag and pulled out a pair of shorts to wear. She quickly pulled them on and walked out of the room with the coffee in hand.
Lin only stood there for a few minutes before leaving for the base room to go over all the recordings from the night to see if he could find anything.
Authors Note: I know that there is not a lot of Ghostly stuff, but I just had to make a chapter about the awkwardness of the whole situation. Also this is a Lin and Mai pairing so I thought a cute little scene between them would be a nice little thing to put in.
