Over the course of a few hours Han checked on Casey several times and almost everytime had to bring her another blanket.
He opened the door and looked in on her again she was almost invisible int he huge bed and the six blankets and several pillows only helped to hide her small form in the bed if it weren't for the very tiny foot barely peeking out of the blanket her wouldn't even know she was in there.
He opened the door a little further and stepped into the room telling himself he only wanted to check on her.
He made his way slowly to the bed and looked down at her she was now in the middle of the bed a mass of blankets and pillows surrounding her she looked totally at ease.
He leaned over to stroke her hair away from her face taking a second to enjoy the way the soft silky curls felt in his fingers.
He could have lost her today, She could have been serouisly hurt or violated and he wasn't there the guilt chewed at him and he sent a silent thank you to whoever was listening that he had came home when he did.
The thought of someone hurting her killed him.
Her sweet wide eyed innocence is what drew him to her and was also what made her so vulnerable for predators like Raizo.
She made a noise in her sleep like she was hurting and he sat down on the bed beside her tuoching her cheek.
"Shhhh, It's ok" He spoke softly to her and the noises stopped.
She rolled over slightly and he sighed before sliding down into the bed beside her but he stayed ontop of the blankets telling himself he'd stay awake.
He fell asleep.
He woke up somewhere around seven hours later the steady breathing of the person next to him surprised him at first since he couldn't remember bringing home anyone.
He sat up and saw Casey sleeping softly beside him and he smiled slightly.
"I think I'm falling in love with you" He said softly touching her shoulder she still didn't wake up and he shook his head climbing out of the bed.
He went down the hall and climbed into the shower letting the hot water beat away his thoughts of Casey as anything other then a friend.
When he got out of the shower he realized that in his haste to get away from her he had left his clothes in his bedroom where she was sleeping.
With a sight he wrapped a towel around his waist and hoped she was still asleep as he walked back to his room.
He opened his door and then pulled open his dresser and began searching for clothes he heard her climb out of the bed and froze for a second but then tried to pretend he didn't notice.
He felt her coming closer to him, Felt her body heat as she stepped up behind him and then he felt her tiny hand touch his bare back.
He jumped at the sudden jolt that shot through him at her timid little touch and then tried to relax.
He knew what she was looking at his scars true he had survived his wreck in tokyo but the accident had left scars across his entire back and he could feel her tiny little fingers tracing the scars lightly.
He let her go for a few minutes just feeling her until he couldn't take anymore and he spun around to face her catching her upper arms.
"That's enough" He said it a little more forceful then he meant to and she jumped.
She looked up at him and he leaned in and kissed her crushing his mouth against hers.
She didn't move at first and he softened his kiss a little until she responded.
He pulled her closer trapping her arms between them and she kissed him back just a little more.
He tried to be gentle but in his head a battle was raging on, His bed was literally two feet away it'd be so easy to sweep her up and carry her over to it another side argued that she was so young and a virgin at that he shouldn't use her like that.
In the end the second side one he gently pushed her away she looked up at him and smiled.
"I need another shower" He said suddenly releasing her arms he made a mad dash to the shower and the cold water that awaited.
