time for some BONDING

Squeak. Selena's eyes snapped open, and she cursed her light-sleeper habits. If it was that damn mouse again, it was gonna get a beating. She glanced up, a figure looming beside her bed. Oh, well it was one type of annoying mouse.

"There's a spider," Demi said quietly, pillow tucked into her armpit.

"Kill it." Selena answered sleepily.

"I don't wanna touch it."

"Get a paper towel..." her voice trailed.

"You're out of them!" Demi whispered yelled, shaking the girl's shoulder sadly.

Selena groaned, not feeling like getting up to kill a stupid fucking spider. She rolled over to her back and glared at the girl, a look that said that when she wasn't lucid, she would hurt her.

"Fine. You can sleep in here for the rest of the night. Just… stay away."

Demi gulped, "In- in here? With you?"

"Yeah, stupid. I'm no spider, anyways." Demi mumbled something shakily, rummaging under Selena's sheets and scooting to the end, so much so that the edge of the bed was prodding into her hips.

Demi did not know what happened. One moment, she was sticking over the side of the bed, scared of edging closer to the girl. And now, Selena was sucked to her back, face pressed against the hair on her neck, arms tightly wrapped around her torso. Demi was still on the edge of the bed - she hadn't moved the whole night - but it looked as if Selena was some sort of magnet to whatever was warm and living.

At some point, Demi considered getting up, but a deep part of her wanted to see Selena's reaction to what position she put herself in. At the time, it seemed like a good idea, but when Selena woke up, she let out an unearthly scream. After she was done with her screams, she pushed Demi the one single centimeter that she needed off of the bed. Demi hit the floor with a thump, groaning in pain.

"What the hell…" Demi groaned, rolling her fingers against her probably new bruise against her hip.

She turned around to face Selena, but she had gone out of the room. Well, that wasn't exactly the funny reaction she was expecting. Demi heaved herself to her feet, moving to the kitchen, where Selena was pouring a cup of coffee. However, she didn't stop when it got close to the top and overflowed, only kept pouring, and pouring, and pouring…

"Woah," Demi rushed to her side and helped her stop pouring, laughing a bit. "No wonder you need coffee."

Selena shook herself from her thoughts, nodding swiftly after and dazedly pulling her coffee from the counter, not caring that it whapped over the side and dropped to her floor. Demi let out a laugh, "So, you're a secret cuddlebug."

"Do not!" Selena hissed, and Demi noticed how scared she truly was of this - her hands were shaking, spilling her coffee even more.

"Okay, chill, I wasn't gonna judge you for it."

"Nobody's ever slept in my bed before, so I didn't know…"

"I didn't think you suddenly liked me," Demi tried to diffuse her shaken manner with humor, to no avail. "So I figured."

Selena sighed and brought her fingers to her eyes, brushing away the eye crust from her sleep. Demi did the same, trying to be just as sophisticated as Selena was, but ended up digging her fingertips into her eye to desperately scoop for any of the green muck. Ugh, so not fair - was Selena always so perfect and proper? She even made simple acts look like they were done by the Queen of England.

"Listen," Selena swung around suddenly, eyes full of a bunch of mixed emotions. "I'm sorry for bullying you. I'm not gonna do it anymore, I promise. We go back to school tomorrow so I'll tell everyone you're cool."

"Tha-"

"Just don't thank me!" Selena blurted, throwing her hands side-to-side. "Now come on, I'm gonna drive you to your house to get your stuff."

Demi opened her mouth to protest, until she understood her scenario. Then, she opened her mouth again, "Wait, am I living with you then?"

"Uh… I…" Selena hadn't thought of it, "I… I dunno. Maybe for a bit, but I don't know about forever."

"Obviously," Demi laughed nervously, her nerves spiking. The last time Selena was so… nurturing, she got her head slammed into a locker. Then again, she had nobody else to trust.

"By the way," Selena popped a piece of gum in her mouth, "Your shorts are riding up."

"Shit!"
