RPOV

Taking our seats on the plane I sat between Dimitri and Chris. Lissa and Adrian were on the other end, both not daring to look at us.

"So Roza, wanna tell me what that is all about?" I looked at Dimitri to see him with a wondering expression.

"You mean that morning with Adrian's nose? Or that," I asked gesturing towards the cheating idiots.

"Adrian's nose," I heard Chris asking while Dimitri nodded.

I turned around to Chris looking at him with a giant smile on my face. "I broke Adrian's nose this morning, because he was too drunk to listen to me, when I told him to stay away from me. Instead of listening he kissed me and earned a broken nose from my side." Dimitri looked at me with an amused smile and Christian started laughing.

"You broke a royal's nose without getting cuffed," he asked after composing himself.

"Yup," I said popping the 'p'. "But the not-being-cuffed-part may just be, because the Russian over here threatened him to punch him too, if he tells anyone, that it was me who did that," I went on pointing at Dimitri. Christian just shook his head with a smirk on his lips.

"And why is Lissa sitting with him in the corner of shame?" Both, Chris and mine, looks grew deadly.

"She is just as bad as Adrian. He cheated on me, before we even had our first date, so I went to that party for Chris' benefit and after a few hours we walked around and saw Lissa standing against a wall kissing Aaron. She actually had the decency to say, that all of that was my fault, and that it was because of me, that she couldn't kiss her boyfriend, yada yada yada. So I told her my opinion and here we are. But want to know the best part about that stupid weekend?" He nodded and waited for me to continue. "I don't hate my life any longer," I said smiling while intertwining my fingers with Chris'.

"See? I told you he doesn't hate you," he said with a knowing smile after getting over the first shock.

»You thought I hate you?«

"That was before the last week. When I realized, that I was falling for you," I whispered barely audible while blushing. He led my hand to his lips and kissed it softly. »Love you too B.« he thought gazing into my eyes.

Dimitri cleared his throat on my other side. I knew what was coming. Brother-to-boyfriend-talk. Just peachy.

"Ozera, you know how I feel for Rose. She's my sister, although God knows I already have enough of them. But if you ever hurt that girl I'll be the one to take care of you. I'll rip you apart in a very slowly and painful way. And I'm pretty sure Tasha would be on my side instead of yours." My cure to interject.

"Whoa, Comrade. Don't you think, that I can threaten him pretty well myself? But thanks for your concern." My big Russian smiled again.

"Just the best for you Rosie," he said with a teasing half-smile.

"You're lucky, that I have some twisted sort of respect for you, or I would punch you for calling me Rosie." Instead I smacked the back of his head and saw, that it actually hurt him, cause I caught him off guard.

"Damn Rose. Doesn't seem like the counseling helps much," he said glaring at me.

"Nope. So call it off and let me train again or I might just smack you again."

"I'll think about it," he said in an actually sincere voice. With that he took one of his bloody western novels out of the pocket of his coat and started reading. How many of theses books can one have?

»Sleep Rose, I'll wake you when we're back.«

"I'm not tired," I whispered, suppressing a yawn.

»Right, and I'm human.«

I chuckled lightly, leaning my head on his shoulder and closing my eyes.

I was woken again by Chris, right before we were arriving on the Academy's landing field. I took in my surroundings and saw Lissa glaring at me. Great, now she hates me I thought, when I realized that I was cuddled up against Chris. He must have seen my look, cause he snorted and leaned in and whispered something to me.

"Don't worry about her. She has to blame herself. You did nothing wrong. Just ignore her."

"But she's my best friend Chris. I can't live with it, if she is angry at me. I don't know what to do, to make it up to her."

"She'll get over it, you'll see. Give her time. She has to see, that it is her own fault. Right now we're everything that matters. We have everyone else okay?"

I nodded and gave him a loving look. "I'm glad that I have you Chris," I said before giving him a peck on the lips. »As I am to have you.«

When we landed I was the first one out of the plane and back on the ground. I hated to admit it, but flying wasn't really my most favorite hobby. Christian laughed at me through the bond and I gave him a death glare. I stepped closer to him, so that only he could hear me.

"One more laugh and I swear no kissing and no nights together. You won't feel that we're together, I'll treat you just as I did, before that one night for at least a month." He gulped and stopped laughing and just stared at me wide eyed. "Much better, thank you." I smirked at him before turning around and walking towards the Academy's grounds. We were just in time for dinner so I went straight to the commons. I accompanied Chris to the feeders before I got something to eat and we sat on our normal table. Soon Eddie and Mia joined us and we had a happy chat about our weekend. Just when we told them, that we were together now Lissa and Adrian stood at our table. They looked like lost little puppies.

"What do you want," I snapped at them, cheering for myself when I saw Adrian's bruised face.

"We want to sit at our table, like always, and talk to our friends," Lissa answered, her voice dripping with venom. So much for the lost puppy.

"I can't talk for Eddie and Mia, but I'm pretty sure, that you aren't welcome here in Chris' and mine opinions. Look over there is a table you can have," I said, pointing to a table near the trashcans, voice just as cold as Lissa's was before. They didn't move away so I did. I stood and pulled Chris up with me, feeling his uneasiness towards Lissa. "Come Chris, I sort of lost my appetite." I left my tray on the table and went out of the commons and up to my room. Chris followed me and we both sat on my bed, talking and kissing until we were both too tired to move the smallest muscle and fell asleep in each others arms.

CPOV

I woke in the middle in the night to a shaking body.

"Rose?" I lightly shook her shoulders until her eyes fluttered open and her unshed tears started flowing down her cheeks.
"Hey what is it honey? Please don't cry. It'll be okay, everything's fine."

She lightly shook her head and stared at me.

"It happened again Chris. I had that dream again. The one of my dead. I saw me dying and how everybody was shocked about me being dead. And I saw you crying. God, Chris I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry. I couldn't even protect you. I'm a lousy novice." I couldn't believe, what she just said. I led one of my hands up to her neck and slowly traced her battle star, while intently gazing into her eyes.

"Rose, you're not a bad novice, you're the best one, that this school has ever seen. And you protected me, you did well. I'm proud to call you my girlfriend alright? You killed more then twenty Strigoi, you did as best as you can. It was my fault, that I didn't get away from him fast enough. And you should be happy that I cried. That was the moment I realized I feel something for you," I tried to lighten her mood. With her next words I knew that I succeeded.

"I don't know what I would do without you Chris. You healed me from the dead. Okay, without you I would have to deal with my own feelings and not with the feelings of a male teenager. That's actually a real pain in the ass you know." I chuckled lightly. »Yeah sorry about that.« I thought, knowing very well, that she heard it. She snuggled closer to me and gave me a soft kiss to my chin, since she couldn't reach my lips.

"I love you Pyro." I smiled and gave her a kiss to the forehead.

"Love you too Rosie," I whispered smirking. She smacked me on the chest, not as hard as she had smacked Dimitri earlier, but it still stung a bit.

"Never ever call me that again," she growled under her breath. »Damn that made her even hotter. God, what that woman does to me.«

"I know what I do to you Pyro," she said lifting up her head to stick her tongue out at me. Her bad mood already forgotten, I gave her a loving kiss on the lips, before wrapping my arms around her even tighter.

"Sleep well, honey." I felt her smiling against my chest before her breathing evened out and she slept again.
