PROMPT: PHOENIX WAKES UP TO FIND MAYA IS SLEEPING RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. DEDICATED TO BOTH JORDANPHOENIX AND YANMEGAMAN
'Godammit... If there's one thing Fey girls are good at, it's manipulation...'
Phoenix had woken up at around lunch after a long night of binge watching the entire Steel Samurai series with Maya and Pearl. It had only been two weeks since Maya's kidnapping, and Phoenix saving her. He could still feel the aftershock of panic in him after he had thought he lost her after that first trial day. Phoenix looked over to see a sleeping Pearl in one of the couches. The TV flashed the Sony symbol, meaning it was asleep and waiting any input. The agency was never really a good place to sleep, especially considering the noises of traffic outside, but Phoenix had basically passed out at five in the morning on season five. It looks like Pearl didn't do so well either. Phoenix went to sit up to go and get some morning coffee.
That was, before he was stopped in his tracks.
Phoenix felt something wrapped around his waist. An arm? He turned to see who that arm belonged too. He nearly recoiled when he saw her.
Maya Fey, laying completely flat on the sofa, her head on Phoenix's left leg, one arm wrapped around the front of his waist, the other behind, just above his ass. She was practically hugging him in her sleep. Phoenix wanted to move, but at the same time, her cute face and her light snores were enough to make him think otherwise. He crossed his arms, waiting in hope that the spirit medium will wake up some time soon. Especially before her cousin does!
Phoenix looked down at the young woman, and couldn't help but smile. She had probably fallen asleep in that position on purpose! He had nearly lost her three times now. Three. It was a number of near death experiences no decent human should have to go through, especially Maya Fey! Phoenix slowly uncrossed his arms, and, even slower, ran the tip of his index finger over the top of her head, feeling her smooth, silk, raven colored hair. He eventually got to a point where he ran his entire hand down her long, smooth hair. She continued to sleep, not feeling anything as Phoenix felt her hair. It was simply perfect.
Phoenix eventually felt Maya move, and he thought she had woken up. It instead was just her adjusting herself, and in the most... Interesting of ways. She actually raised herself up, wrapping her arms around his upper chest, leaning most of her body on him now! Phoenix didn't know how to respond, and prayed to God that Pearl didn't wake up right now. Phoenix eventually realized he had his arms raised up, and he would have to lower them somewhere. He placed his right hand on his leg, and his left arm wrapped around Maya, holding her closer. He was, admittedly, enjoying this affection from her.
Phoenix looked down at the girl, and slightly smiled at her. He knew she'd never know this had happened, but he would always have it etched into his memory.
Then, he thought of something crazy.
No, he couldn't do that... How would Mia react? How would Maya react?! But, she was asleep, and it couldn't hurt anyone...
Phoenix, ever so slowly, lowered his head down to Maya's, and carefully placed his lips on top of her head, kissing her hair. It was only for a few short seconds, but Phoenix felt a massive adrenaline rush through him. He had just kissed the girl he's loved for about a year now. She, of course, would never know. It'd probably be the only kiss he gets from her. But he loved it.
"I KNEW YOU TWO WERE PERFECT!"
Phoenix completely froze. Damn! There was one person he'd forgot about!
Pearls!
He snapped his head around to look at the young girl, who had both hands on her cheeks, and she was smiling the cutest smile in the world.
"You two really are special someone's! You really do love Mystic Maya, don't you, Mr. Nick?!" Pearl practically screamed.
"P-Pearls-"
"You two are perfeeeeeeeect!" Pearl screamed as she ran down the hallway. Phoenix sighed, knowing he'd never hear the end of that little event.
"N-Nick... What was that all about..."
'Perfect, just perfect!'
Phoenix looked over to see Maya awaken. She looked up at him, before looking down at her arms, which were still wrapped around him. Then back up at his eyes. Then down at her arms. Back up at his eyes. Down at her arms.
Then she noticed his arm, wrapped around her...
"NICK, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"
"NO, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"
"WHY ARE YOU CUDDLING ME?!"
"WHY ARE YOU CUDDLING ME?!"
