Kai watched as the girl laid her blankets out on the floor, on his
side of the bed. Inwardly he was impressed with her, hell, she got stranded
in France with some people she barely knew and didn't even scream yet. Her
luggage was on the ship too, and the only thing she brought was her
sketchbook, her book, a CD player and her wallet, all stuffed in a duffel
bag.
And there she was, humming absentmindedly as she got ready to sleep in her clothes, on the ground. Part of him felt sorry for her, but was ignored, since she obviously didn't feel sorry for herself.
'Watch it!' Kai ducked neatly as she accidentally swung her pillow his way. 'If you're looking for a pillow fight, you are barking under the wrong tree.' Offer Tyson a chocolate bar, he might join, Kai thought, wait a minute, what am I thinking, give Tyson a chocolate bar and he'll do anything.
'Well.' Allegra smiled darkly, her eyes gleamed. Is that what you're looking for? She thought, barking under the wrong tree huh? Tell me about it.
'Paillow faight? Whaire?' Max ran out of the bathroom, his toothbrush sticking out of his mouth along with a good quantity of toothpaste. 'Ai like paillow faights!'
'Look at him, he's not only barking under the wrong tree, he's foaming at the mouth.' Allegra chuckled and whispered to Kai, Max looked puzzled, and Allegra shrugged sheepishly, it was a tease, she realized, but how could she resist?
Kai smiled ever so slightly, foaming at the mouth, hn, that's Max alright. so the girl's got a sense of humor, he thought, whatever, what looser doesn't.
Allegra shivered.
Man, it was cold on the floor, there was a draft coming from under the door, it was almost twelve, and everyone else seemed to be sleeping soundly despite Tyson's obnoxious snoring. Allegra sighed, serve her right, she was the one who picked the floor. Another draft of cold air enveloped her, and she muffled a sneeze into her blanket, which seemed pathetically thin.
Kai glanced over the edge of the bed at the girl, she wasn't asleep yet, no wonder, she's been coughing up a fit, although nobody else seemed to hear it, much thanks to Tyson's snoring. She's going to catch a cold, he thought, but why should I care? Allegra sighed, and Kai bit his lip, that sigh sort of slaughtered him, a weary sigh, like something inside her was going to break.
'Hey, you.'
Allegra rolled over and looked up at the slate-haired teenager, he was propped up on his elbows, crap he looks tall from here, Allegra thought.
'Get up here.'
Allegra half smiled, so the tough guy had a heart, she was grateful. She stood up and slipped onto the bed next to Kai, warm, oh bliss.
'Th--'
'Don't mention a word of this.'
'Ah, sure.' Allegra smiled to herself and tried to make herself comfortable on her back, but there wasn't enough room, and her shoulder was rammed against Kai awkwardly. Oh well, she thought, and reached down, grabbing her CD player and put on the headphones.
'Don't you think you've taken up enough room already?' Kai asked flatly, her CD player was pressing against his cheekbone, this is worse than her bony shoulder, he thought, both amused and annoyed.
'Can't sleep.' Allegra whispered back to him, and picked up her CD player, shoving it into his hands. 'There, just hold it if you want to be comfortable.' Kai raised an eyebrow, Allegra smiled cynically and closed her eyes.
Kai woke up, and checked the clock, half past midnight, Allegra was asleep, he noticed her CD player was still going.
'Stupid music.' Kai growled and took off her headphones, turning off her CD player, he leaned over her and placed it on the floor. When he laid back down again, he noticed she had turned onto her side, and was resting her chin on his shoulder.
Oh god.Kai thought, eyes wide with shock, he consider nudging her off, but then thought of what she would say if he woke her in this awkward position, he decided against. After staring stiffly into space for a while, Kai fell asleep.
As usual, Kai was the first one awake, he opened his eyes and checked the clock again, six o'clock, suddenly he noticed his way off of the bed was blocked by Allegra. No.Kai thought and whacked himself with his hand, he had to get out of here before his teammates woke up and. he shuddered as he thought about what Tyson would say.
'Allegra!' Kai hissed, and shook her arm slightly.
Allegra's eyes snapped open with surprise, Kai placed a hand over her mouth before she could exclaim.
'Just get up, quietly.' He whispered, and watched her give him an unreadable look, then propped herself on her elbows and got up.
Allegra stood up and gave him a comprehending look, Kai got up, and gave her the same look. Allegra shrugged, and clawed her hair somewhat back into shape with her fingers before walking to the window.
Looks like it's going to be a while before I get to St. Petersburg, Allegra thought idly, ah well.
And there she was, humming absentmindedly as she got ready to sleep in her clothes, on the ground. Part of him felt sorry for her, but was ignored, since she obviously didn't feel sorry for herself.
