Secrets
Marie rolled uncomfortably off her bed as sleep continued to elude her. With her back on the chilly floor, she gazed in frustration at the ceiling. It was as she contemplated getting back into her warm bed, that she heard two whispering voices. Being as discreet as possible she crept downstairs towards the light and noise.
"You're the one who made me stay up to watch this, you don't get to sleep" Frederica murmured irritably jabbing him in the chest with her elbow for good measure. Marie peeked further into the room to see that the other occupant of the couch was none other than Kyle. The two were curled up on the couch, Kyle slowly dozing off.
"Mm, you're like a pillow and a heater all in one, it's hard not to sleep" he responded, pulling her closer by the hips and burying his face into the crook of her neck for emphasis. Frederica pinched his arm, but unlike every other interaction Marie had seen of the two, the blonde didn't say anything. As they continued to whisper to each other, Marie quietly snuck back to her room and collapsed onto her bed.
The girl couldn't help but think what a shame it would be when they all woke up the next morning and Frederica and Kyle would return to bickering, insulting and taunting each other until Shao popped a vein.
