* Please Review! Okay, so I have never removed a wind shield or seen one removed so I don't really know how it happens but for this story, it happens how I wrote it.*

By the time the blood pack left, Scud was so tired he couldn't think straight. He stumbled to his room and opened the door with his eyes closed. He turned around and shut it, leaning his head against it. He sighed and slipped off his vest. He tossed it to his side than turned around. He opened his eyes expecting to see either that she had left or that she was frowning at him. What he didn't expect was to find her curled up on her side, fast asleep, in his bed.

His mattress was on the floor and one side of it was against the wall. She must have just laid down because she was bored and fallen asleep because she hadn't even taken off her sneakers. She had her knees drawn to her chest and both her arms under his pillow. He shook his head and put his hand in his hair. He sighed but came forward. He was too tired to wake her up.

He walked over to his bed and leaned down. He took a old of one of her ankles and lifted it up. He slipped one shoe off then the other. He went over to his laundry basket and yanked out his pajama pants. He faced her as he started undoing his jeans. Scud's eyes were glued to her face. He pushed his jeans off than slipped his pajamas on. He tossed his jeans onto his computer chair than walked over to his bed. He sighed and crawled into his bed by her. He laid with his back to the wall. He grabbed his blankets and covered them up. He was facing her back.

He didn't know how long he stared at her but it was a while. He reached forward and ran his hand through her hair. He watched as the dark brown strands slipped through his fingers. It was soft, softer than he was expecting it to be. He brought his hand closer to her neck. His hand shook slightly so he made a fist and closed his eyes. Scud took a breath to steady himself. He opened his eyes and hand. He moved his hand to the back of her head and let his hand travel up her head and down her hair again. He sighed and moved himself closer to her.

Alexcia turned onto her back and whined slightly in her sleep. She turned over onto her right side so she was facing him. She brought one hand under his pillow again and her other hand came up to take a hold of his shirt. She rubbed her cheek against his pillow and inhaled deeply. She sighed, making a soft noise. She snuggled into the blankets more. He put his arm around her waist and moved even closer to her. She moved one leg in between his.

' I shouldn't be doing this.' Scud thought to himself. ' She's going end up hating me.'

But he didn't move. Instead, he brought his hand to her face and touched her cheek. It had been a long time since he had been with anyone and even longer since he had had a real girlfriend. He hadn't had a girlfriend since high school and that was 7 years beforehand. Every one else he had been with had been one night stands, he made it a habit to never spend the night with someone. Now he was seeing what he had been missing out of.

" Hey, pet, wake up." Reinhardt's voice pulled Scud from his sleep. He opened his eyes and jumped to see Reinhardt and Chupa standing in his room, both smirking down at him. He looked at Alexcia but she was still sleeping. He pushed himself up so he was sitting down. " Sleeping with the enemy I see."

" What the fuck are you guys doing in here!" He hissed as he crawled out of bed.

" Just checking on our favorite pet." Reinhardt said. " I don't care if you fuck her until her cunt swells up but don't you dare forget who's side your on because if you do, I will let Chupa fuck her in front of you then I will rip her apart before I kill you." Scud sighed and looked back at her.

" I haven't forgotten." Scud said. Chupa smiled.

" Too bad. I bet she's a good fuck." He said.

Both vampires laughed as they walked out of his room. Scud sighed and ran his hand through his hair, pulling it when he reached the ends. He closed his eyes and shook his head. He grabbed a shirt off the floor and chucked it across the room. He sank to the floor, resting his back against the wall. He rested his arms on his draw up knees and hung his head down. He closed his eyes.

When Alexcia woke up, the scent of smoke and spice greeted her. She frowned and opened her eyes. She was staring at a wall. She realized she had fallen asleep in Scud's bed. She whipped around to her back and looked around his room. Her heart was in her throat but he was nowhere to been seen. She put her hands into her hair and closed her eyes. She didn't even remember falling asleep. She pushed off his blankets and stood up. She needed a shower.

" Hey." Alexcia said. She had snuck back into her room and grabbed some clothes. She had taken a quick a shower and gotten ready for the day before she set off to find him. She had found Scud working at one of his counters. He glanced up at her than back down at the knife he was working with.

" Hey." He said.

" So I'm sorry that I passed out in your bed." She said. He shrugged and put the knife down. He took a smoke out from behind his ear and lit it up quickly.

" It's cool. I slept on the couch out there." He said. He took a hit of his smoke then handed it to her. She narrowed her eyes slightly, making him laugh. " It's just a smoke, it's not lace with anything. I promised." She reached out and took the smoke from him. She took a small hit then handed it back to him. He smiled and put it between his lips.

" Anyway, I just wanted to say I'm sorry." She said.

" It's cool, really, I don't care. I can sleep anywhere." Scud said.

" Listen up." Blade's voice boomed through warehouse.

Alexcia looked up the stairs as he came out of his room. Scud's eyes shifted over to the table on the other side of the warehouse where the blood pack had gathered. She moved away from the table and over to her dad. She slipped her arm around his waist. Whistler put his arm around her shoulders. Scud sighed as he watched her. He looked over her head to Chupa who was sneering behind her from his spot at the other table. His eyes were glued to her ass and he was licking his lips and nudging Reinhardt who was grinning. Scud shook his head and looked down at the knife he had been working with.

The blood pack, Blade and Whistler were heading out for the night to search for the reapers while Alexcia and Scud were going to stay at the warehouse. She wasn't happy about it but Scud needed help fixing the van's windshield. He was going to have to take it off and replace it. If he tried to do it on his own, he won't have been able to hold both sides of it and it would have shattered.

" Have you ever taken out a wind shield off before?" Alexcia asked as she climbed up on the step ladder. She was on the passenger side of the van and he was on a step ladder on the driver's side.

" Yep. It's actually easy. I'm going to pop up my side which will break the seal all around. You take a hold of your side and we haul it out to the dumpster." Scud said as he worked the screwdriver into the seal of the windshield. Alexcia readjusted the gloves he had given her. A loud pop was heard, making her jump.

They worked together well, surprising Scud. She didn't complain when they carried the windshield out side or when she had to help him install the new one. She even helped him work on the engine, warning him she had no idea what she was doing. It didn't bother Scud. He explained the different parts to her as he worked and she listened like she really cared. They talked quietly as they worked.

He liked working with her. He liked that they worked side by side, their shoulders touching. She had pulled her hair up into a pony tail and he thought it was cute when she had to flick her head to the side to get her bangs out of her face. Sometimes she'd tuck them behind her ear but the bangs only reached her lips so they didn't stay tucked away for long.

Alexcia found herself giggling at some of the things he was telling her and she hated herself every time she did it. She was not a girl who giggled. She laughed, she didn't giggle, never had a day in her life but Scud just pulled the noise out of her. She had always thought girls that giggled sounded stupid but Scud smiled every time she did it. He thought it was cute. He liked her giggle, he liked how she blushed when he caught her looking at him and she looked at him a lot.
