Chapter 6: snuggling
Rancis POV
Vanellope pulled me by the arm. I was wondering what she meant by "I think we will manage". It took very little time to get to the guest bedrooms. That's when I realized what she wanted. She swung me into the first guest bedroom she saw and closed the door. My breathing became unsteady.
"W-well," I stuttered, "I-I should g-g-go." I run to the door when Vanellope's soft voice stopped me.
"Rancis, I'm scared. Please stay," she basically whispered. Why couldn't I say no to that? I shakily walked to the bed. That's when I saw the couch in the corner of my eye.
"Alright," I started, "I'll be over there sleeping on the couch."
"That couch doesn't look that comfy," she said, "Are you sure you wouldn't want to sleep in the bed with me?" She caught me. I really do want to sleep in the bed with her, but I'm scared to. To tell you the truth, I have the biggest crush on Vanellope and I don't want to be rejected if I decide to make a move. She moved over and gave me a "please come here" look. It was almost like she desperately wanted to snuggle with me. I literally couldn't say no to that. I walked to the bed like I was under a spell, which made Vanellope laugh. I get to the bed and climbed between the covers. When I did, Vanellope leaned into me and said, "I love you."
I was about to say something but her soft snores interrupted me. I pulled her head towards my chest and said, "I love you, too."
Gloyd's POV
It took a long time to get to our bedroom; just enough time to figure out what Jubalina was planning. Oh crap I thought She's going to snuggle with me. I've never been this scared in my entire life. Sure, Jubi and I are dating, but we've only been dating for a week. She's starting to come on very strong. If I start getting uncomfortable I will have to dump her. I don't want to dump her! I love her! I will just have to tell her the truth. We finally got to the room. She flung me in and closed the door. Then she looked at me with a sad expression on her face. I gave her a reassuring look and put my arm around her shoulders.
"Am I being to forward?" she shakily asked. I couldn't just lie to her.
"A little," I said. When I said that, I saw a tear fall from her eyes.
"Are you going to dump me?" she sobbed.
"No, no of course not! Why on earth would I do that," I quietly comforted.
"If you don't want to sleep here I'm fine with it," she said. I bit my lip. I know it is a little weird, but what's the worst that could happen. I walk up to the bed, hopped in and slid over to make a spot for her. My actions were enough to make her smile and climb in with me. She nestled up to me and said, "I love you."
"I love you too," I softly said and pulled her head to my chest. Before I knew it, I was asleep.
