That night as Dodger lay in bed, he found he couldn't sleep. He kept glancing over at Lyra, who was keeping one of the youngest lads comfort cause he kept having nightmares. Dodger kept thinking about their kiss, and how she'd tasted of the chocolate he'd given her. Subconsciously, he raised a hand to his lips and smiled in the darkness. Charley had known as soon as the two stepped through the door what had happened. He sat in the corner, smiling to himself until Lyra was distracted. Then he cornered Dodger and demanded to know everything. Dodge didn't mind though, all though he did tease Charley a bit for gossiping more than ladies do.
As the night drew on, Dodger still couldn't sleep. Luckily for him, Lyra had finally gotten the young lad to sleep and was now creeping over to Dodger's bunk. She stopped at the end of the bed, where his bare foot was sticking out from under the covers and used one finger to tickle it. Dodger jumped and nearly swore until he saw the giggling redhead sat on the floor. He shuffled back and lifted his covers, letting Lyra crawl in beside him.
The two lay together, wrapped in eachother's arms, occasionally kissing and enjoying each others warmth until they could barely keep their eyes open. As Lyra lay her head down on Dodger's chest to let sleep overcome her, the teen-aged boy kissed her forehead.
"Love you, Ly." He whispered and the sleepy girl grinned.
"Love you too, Jack." She whispered back and Dodger realized it was the first time anyone had ever called him by his first name. Even Fagin had only ever come as close as Master Dawkins.
"Jack?"
"Mm. If I'm gonna tell you I love you, I'm gonna use your real name. But I do love The Artful Dodger, too."
"Oh." Dodger smiled again before settling himself further down beneath the covers. "Night, love."
"Night."
