Blaise pouted, setting down the book. Poo. That was a horrible ending. He couldn't believe Jean had gone with Rob, and not John. It was criminal. Alright. He officially hated this book.

"Sigh. That was a crappie ending." Blaise said as he got up to put on his pj's bottoms on. It had taken him almost an hour to get it back from Solana, but in the end he got it back.

He sighed, pulling off his shirt and tossing it towards the hamper. He was just tugging off his pants as a knock sounded on the door. Damn it. He pulled them back up, leaving the top button undone. The knock sounded again, "Oy! Hold on, will you?"

Blaise open the door and leaned against the frame. "Hello what can I do for you so late in the night?" Blaise said smirking, his lightly defined chest went up as he took a deep breath.

Solana blinked. Oh Merlin... "I... erm..." No! Bad! Look up at his face, idiot!

"Yes?" Blaise followed her gaze to his chest and his smirk widened.

She bit her lip, finally jerking her gaze up to his face. "I think you have one of my books."

"Huh? No I don't. What one are you missing?"

"Advanced Arithmancy, volume three."

"Nope, I own that one." Blaise said calmly.

"I can't find my copy. Can you check if you've got two?" She swallowed, trying to resist the urge to reach out and touch him. Dammit, Malfoy! Pull yourself together, girl!

"Sure, come in. I will check but I don't think I will have it." Blaise turned around and went to his trunk.

"Oh... okay." Solana bit her lip again, following him into the room. The door shut automatically behind her, no doubt propelled by some magic, and she jumped. Great. Now she was trapped.

"Nope just as I thought, you must of left it in the Library." Blaise handed her his book. "You can use mine though."

Her fingers brushed his as she took the book. "Thank you..."

"No worries."

She bit her lip, holding the book to her stomach. "Still. Thanks." She turned around, very aware that her pajama pants had shrunk slightly in the wash.

"You look good in those." Blaise stated as he walked her to the door.

She fought the urge to shift uncomfortably, "Thank you." Ah! She was being insanely redundant! What the hell?

"Ummm. So goodnight, I guess if there isn't anything else you need or..." Blaise swallowed and continued. "Want."

YES! Yes, yes, yes! Her mind screamed. What she said, however, was "No, thank you for the book." She nearly winced as she realized her voice broke on the single syllable of 'no'.

Blaise's mood dropped a little and his grabbed the door knob to let her out. "Okay well night." Blaise tried to open the door but it was stuck. "Damn door open!" Blaise muttered.

Solana blinked, "The door won't open?"

"No." Blaise snapped, tugging at the knob. "Damn fucking piece of shit!"

"Have you been spending to much time with Echo, Zabini?"

"She's my sister. Like you said, some things are genetic."

She rolled her eyes, before the situation's reality crashed down on her. "Oh Gods. I'm locked in a room with a half dressed Blaise Zabini."

"That's a bad thing?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"Because I'm in my pajamas!"

"I noticed."

"Move let me try!" Solana pushed Blaise out of the way and pulled the door as hard as she could it didn't move. "Arggg!"

"HELLO CAN ANYONE HEAR ME? OPEN THE DOOR!" Blaise yelled.

"I can hear you don't yell."

"Draco? Get us out of here!!" Blaise yelled back.

"What do I get out of it?" Draco drawled. Solana had the sudden image of him smirking.

"He has a point." Blaise said turning to look at Solana.

"Draco, if you don't let us out, I'll kill you."

"That's not much incentive for me to let you out then, is it?"

"Are they in there?" Echo's voice could be heard through the cracks of the door.

"Yup." Draco replied.

"Good. HAVE FUN YOU GUY!! I AM NOT LETING YOU OUT TILL TOMORROW! AND DON'T WORRY IT'S SATURDAY!" Echo yelled laughing. "Come on Draco lets go, my lips are waiting to be kissed."

"You're WHAT?!" Solana yelled as the telltale footsteps faded away. "Oh bloody fucking hell..."

"Might as well make the best of it. But first I am going in to my bathroom so that I can put my Pj's on." Blaise said to Solana grabbing the black silk bottoms he had gotten from Draco for Christmas one year, and heading towards a door across the room.

Solana leaned against the door, biting her lip. Gods. She was stuck in a room with Blaise Zabini. Her best friends brother. Who wasn't wearing a shirt. Oh holy shit. Was she old enough for this?

Blaise popped his head out of the bathroom. "You can have the bed if you want I'll just sleep on the floor." Blaise disappeared again and then walked out a tooth brush in his mouth and toothpaste on his chin.

"Okay." She looked up at him, a slight smile twitching her lips. "Hold on..." She moved, stopping in front of him. Reaching up, she wiped away the toothpaste.

He had a dorky smile on his face when she pulled her hand back. Then was a moment of uncomfortable silence. Before blaise smiled and pointed to the bathroom and then to his mouth.

She blushed, and nodded. Why did she do that? That was... Not her. So why had she done it? Oh Merlin.

"Umm I wonder what they are thinking we are doing in here?" Blaise asked as he walked out of the bathroom for the last time and turned off the light.

"I don't want to know." Solana sighed, sitting on the bed.

"I guess you are right." Blaise grabbed an extra blanket from the bed and laid down on the floor. He really didn't want to sleep on the ground but he wouldn't dare ask to share with Solana.

"Hey, Blaise?" She bit her lip, looking at the bed. "Look... this bed is huge... You don't have to sleep on the floor. You could easily fit five people in here."

"Are you sure I tend to snuggle." Blaise sat up, maybe she liked him.

"No, but if you try anything I'll kick you onto the floor, deal?"

"Deal." Blaise got off the floor and in to the bed on the other side grabbing another book.

Solana moved, crawling under the covers. Alright, locked in a room with Blaise Zabini was bad enough. Being in a bed in a locked room with Blaise Zabini was worse. At least she was still clothed...

(Scene break)

It was about one in the morning when Blaise woke from a nightmare sweating. "Owww." Blaise said rubbing his head. He open his eyes but they were still kinda blurry.

Solana blinked her eyes open, feeling comfortable and warm on her pillow. It shifted underneath her, and she groaned softly, sitting up. Woah! No pillow there! She'd fallen asleep on Blaise's chest, and her eyes found his. She blinked, "Blaise... what's wrong?" Her voice was still low with sleep, and she cleared her throat.

"Bad dream, and now I have a headache." Blaise moaned lying back down. He didn't notice she was lying on his chest or he just didn't care.

Her brow furrowed, and she reached out cautiously to brush his hair back from his forehead. Resting her hand against it, she frowned, "You don't have a fever, so you probably just need to go back to sleep."

"Thank you doctor." Blaise said and kissed her hands as he took them off his forehead.

She shivered, biting her lip. "You're welcome." Agh. She had sensitive hands. He knew that. That was where he'd been tickling her the other day. She swallowed. Damn.

"Goodnight cute little Malfoy." Blaise said before passing out.

Solana sighed, almost becoming worried until she saw his chest rise and fall evenly. Merlin. She settled under the covers again, convinced that she could at least get an hour's more sleep.

Blaise, on the other hand, wasn't going to let that happen. Just as Solana was falling asleep Blaise snuggled close to her, his arms wrapping around her waist, face buried in the crook of her neck.

She bit her lip harshly, her mouth suddenly dry. While kicking him out of the bed was a tempting thought, she couldn't bring herself to do it. She took a deep breath, shutting her eyes. Okay. Sleep. Right.

"I love you." Blaise whispered in his sleep.

Her eyes snapped open again, and she groaned softly, "Oh bloody hell." She bit her lip harshly, feeling a light touch on the back of her neck. It took her a moment to recognize the touch as small kiss.

"Do you love me?" Blaise asked still asleep, his lips brushed her neck again tickling her skin.

She nearly whimpered. He'd never said he talked in his sleep too! Of course he probably didn't know.

"Do you?" He snuggled closer.

This time, she did whimper.

Bliase stopped snuggling and rolled over. "You don't, do you?"

Solana bit her lip. Damn. Despite the covers, now she was cold. Curling into the ball, she swallowed. "Maybe?" Oy. This was sad. She was talking to someone who was asleep.

"Maybe? Am I really that bad?" He whispered.

"No." She licked her lips, shivering.

"No you don't love me, or no I am not that bad?"

"Both?"

"I don't get it."

"It's... No. I don't love you, but you're not that bad."

"Oh..." Blaise scooted away from her to the edge of the bed. "I don't like me either.

"Blaise..." She rolled over, sighing, "I never said I didn't like you, just not love you..."

"Why?"

"Because... I don't know you. Not really." Bloody hell. He was asleep!

"You will though, and then will you love me?"

She blushed, "Maybe?"

Blaise turned over eyes open. "I will hold you to that."

Her blush deepened, "Sometimes, Zabini, I really hate you." But she hadn't been lying... when she'd told him that. Had she?

"Why?" His voice was still in that dreamy and soft.

"You're... infuriating."

"But I can love you, even if you can't love me back. Unrequited love."

She blinked, "What?" Her mind mulled it over for a moment. If he was asleep... he wouldn't remember it later. "You love me?"

"I don't know anymore."

"Did you?" Oh boy.

"I thought so."

"Why don't you now?"

"Because you don't and I am not sure I want to wait." Blaise sighed and closed his eyes.

"I'm sorry." Solana sighed softly, cautiously placing a hand on his chest.

Blaise flinched. "I love you too much to forget you." Blaise whispered softer then before so that it, the sound hardly loud enough for her to hear.

She bit her lip again, letting her hand slide off his chest, "It's..." She let out another small sigh. Dammit. "I don't know what to say."

"Kiss me." He whispered.

"I... okay." She knew it wasn't the best idea, but she braced her weight gently on his chest and covered his mouth with hers. Wow. He had soft lips.

He warped his arms around her and kissed back. She pulled back, Blaise had his eyes wide open this time awake. "Well this is a great way to wake up."

She flushed a deep red, pushing herself off of him. Fuck. Add 'sleeps with eyes open' to the list of bad sleeping habits.

"Hey, why are you moving? And why did you kiss me? I'm not complaining though, it was great!"

She pressed her face into the pillow, still blushing. He leaned over her, pulling her back down to make her look up at him. "It... it was an accident. Did you know you talk in your sleep?"

Blaise blushed. "I have been told once. I talk about what is deep in my thoughts."

"Oh..." She swallowed. "Do you want me to tell you what you said?" Please, just... Arg. Did she want to tell him?

"No. I think I know, I said I loved you right?"

She nodded, "Yeah... Several times."

"I'm sorry."

"But... why?"

"Why am I apologizing or why did I say I loved you?"

"Both."

"I am apologizing for waking you up, and I guess I really do love you... deep, deep down inside."

"I was awake anyway. And I guess I could love you... deep, deep down."

"Of course, deep, deep inside." Blaise and Solana looked way from each other.

Solana sighed. "This is going to be a long night..."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because now I know how soft your lips are." Her eyes widened and she dropped her head into her hands, blushing. "I didn't say that..."

She licked her lips, swallowing. "I... Thanks." Oh Merlin...

"No need to thank me, I'm here to help! May I kiss you again?"

She nodded, her eyes flicking down to his lips. Hm...

He pulled her into a long passionate kiss that started out soft and then lust took over and it was now a contest who could eat the others face first.

A soft, barely audible moan escaped her as he pushed her back against the bed. He tilted his head into the kiss, deepening it further. Her hands came up to slide into his hair, and his dropped down to her hips.

He pulled her closer, one hand moved behind her waist and one behind her head slightly massaging it.

She shivered, one of her hands sliding tentatively down his bare back, feeling his muscles tighten under her touch.

Blaise pulled back and looked at Solana. "Do you want me to stop?" He asked, looking concerned.

Solana blinked at him, her senses nearly overwhelmed by his touch. "No... not yet..."

Blaise just smirked and complied.

Anndy's Babble: Excellent break, AGAIN! Woot! Hehe. Very nice, True, really. ::smirk::

True777: I know, I know, not too shabby yourself!
