It might not have been a good idea, according to other people anyway. They were seventeen. Still had another year left of school. Yet here they were in his room, and she was asleep in his bed, and she looked beautiful.
Maybe she was cold now, so he took the edge of the blanket and pulled it up over her shoulder. She responded with a mutter of something that might have been thanks, before her fingers appeared and pulled the blanket the rest of the way over her head. They wouldn't be able to stay here forever, even if Michael wanted to. Sooner or later, they'd have to go back out into the rainy August day and join up with the world again, even if this little detour had taken them pleasantly off course.
There was a time where Michael fancied himself to be... Well, he thought he'd be a bit of a lady-killer, like Anthony. Maybe he had been for a while; after all, he'd dated two of the prettiest girls in the school once, but none of them were Daphne. And he'd never even thought of... Well. He'd been too scared. But with her it had just seemed right. She was so innocent, and so perfect, and now she was his, and he was hers, and he would never look at anyone else again.
