Here's the next one. Again, Thank you to all those who took the time to read and review! :) I'm not going to write much - I've an appointment, so...
Discalimer: Bleh...you all know how this works.
Drabble: Home is where the Heart is…
CPOV
Christian just couldn't sleep; he hadn't been able to sleep properly for the past three nights. It was a lost cause; sleep refused to come without Lissa there, cuddled up to him. He missed her, he longed for her – He couldn't sleep without her. He knew they'd decided they could work it out, being apart so long but he didn't realize at the time how hard it could get.
Sighing, Christian flipped himself on the bed, yet again, only to give up and lay on his back, staring at the ceiling. After a few more seconds of silence, he couldn't take it anymore and sat up straight.
Picking up his phone from the night stand, he dialed Dimitri's number but his call was denied. He was about to try again but was interrupted by his door opening,
"Why are you calling me? You know I'm just outside your door." The older Guardian said.
"Well, yeah but I thought you might be asleep."
Belikov rubbed his hand across his face tiredly and said, "I can't. I can't sleep without Rose there; I've been having my…nightmares again, mostly about her and if I wake up to an empty bed…if I don't find her there safely in my arms, I…" He trailed off, sighing.
Christian could understand his Guardian's frustration. He couldn't sleep without Lissa just because he missed her but he forgot – momentarily – how complicated Rose and Belikov's lives were. He couldn't sleep without her because instances of his past as a Strigoi (when he'd…well, whatever he did to her; both of them were vague on the topic) haunted him.
Christian got up and rested his hand on Dimitri's shoulder in an awkward stance given the Russian's height – the dude was freaking tall, he often found himself wondering how Rose dealt with the height difference.
After a while, Christian removed his hand from Dimitri's shoulder and moved towards his closet, immediately shuffling through it for clothes. While doing so, he turned his head momentarily and said,
"You should get ready too…I know Rose wouldn't mind your clothing but, seriously, Belikov, we need to look presentable."
Dimitri just rose in eyebrow, his face contorted in confusion, "What?"
"We're going to Lehigh. I miss Lissa and you clearly need Rose, so get dressed, Belikov. We leave in five minutes." With that said he grabbed his clothes – a grey shirt (which he knew Lissa liked because it emphasized his hair and eyes) and jeans with a simple black jacket and headed for the bathroom to change.
After a few minutes and some long conversation with the Guardians patrolling the gates about protocol or some shit, they were finally on the road.
Christian had never been so happy to get out of a place he considered home – but that's just it, Court wasn't his home, not without Lissa; because as they say…Home is where the heart is and his heart was just a few miles away, in a dorm room on the second floor in the girl's dormitory in Lehigh.
