Playful Banter and Sleeping Arrangements pt 2

Fiona's P.O.V

I can barely believe I had just offered Adam the chance to sleep with me in my room, I know nothing is going to happen, Adam is too sweet a guy to try something sneaky and under handed like that. But I didn't even know if he felt anything for me other than friendship...sure I know what Clare has told me but I still wonder, Holly J thinks I'm crazy for hanging out with the three of them, she doesn't understand how well we all fit together.

So instead of showing that I was nervous I smiled turned off the entertainment system with a click from the remote and grabbed his hand leading the way up the stairs with Clare and Eli following behind us. I frowned when the lights went off down stairs. "Sorry Fi, I just didn't want to leave them on." Clare said sleepily and I chuckled. "It's okay there's a light switch up at the top to help us get to the bedrooms. "

I knew the lofts layout better than anyone; I had picked it out along with everything inside. So when I reached the top I flipped the switch and light filled the dark stair well and the hall. I walked further down the hall and pointed to the bathroom. "That's the bathroom, there are extra towel and toiletries in the linen cupboard help yourself." And then I continued on to my bedroom, it was clean I liked everything to be in its place so I made sure that things went in their place. Opening the door I turned on the light and took a step in, walking to the closet I grabbed my pajama's out the dresser and walked back out. " I just need to change...I can do so in the closet."

Adam went to protest and I cut him off. "Don't look so worried it's a walk in and I've done it a hundred times. I just wanted you to know what I was doing so you didn't think I was crazy..." Adam chuckled. "I don't think you're crazy Princess Fiona, I was just going to say I'm going to use the bathroom." I frowned and then smiled nodding my head. "Oh, okay...knock before you come in?"

"Of course." I watched as he turned and left the room, I changed quickly into my pajama pants and shirt. Looking down at my purple and white striped pajama pants and matching shirt I smile simple yet cute. I heard a soft knock on my door know it was Adam I called him in. "Come on in Adam." He pushed open the door and smiled at me. "Bathroom it free Eli and I brushed our teeth at the same time." He stated with a chuckle. Nodding I pointed to the bed. "Make yourself comfy, I won't be long."

In the bathroom I washed my face and brushed my teeth, before taking care of all the other nightly bathroom rituals. Washing my hands one last time I went back to my bedroom, turning main light off I walked to my bed, noticing Adam had turned the bedside lamp on, his jeans and sweater where folded neatly and placed on the chair I had in my room, it was more for decoration than anything else anyway. Smiling I slipped into bed and under the covers. Frowning a bit at the pillow placed between me and Adam. "Is there something wrong Adam?" I asked pointing to the pillow with a raised brow. He blushed and turned on his side looking at me. "I didn't want to freak you out..." I frowned. "I wouldn't have invited you to sleep in my bed if I thought you'd freak me out Adam." I watched him as he nodded. "I know but...I should probably tell you..." I watched him sit up and followed suit. He seemed so nervous I felt bad for him. "I'm not like other guys Fi.' He said quietly and I felt myself nodding my head. I stayed silent, non-judgemental. "I mean like, I'm really different...just rip the band-aid off Adam.' I heard him say quietly and almost chuckled, reaching over I grabbed his hand in mine and gave it an encouraging squeeze. "I'm an FTM, female to male transgender..." I nodded my head, I already had an idea about it, after talking to Drew the one day I had asked around, not getting much but I did get enough to put the pieces together.

"It's okay I kinda knew already." He looked at me confused. "I don't mind, now please move the pillow so we can sleep Adam." I didn't mind, sure it might make things a little weird later if we ever got to the point of being physical but Adam was still Adam to me. I laid back down and the bedside lamp was flicked off before I felt rather than saw the pillow get moved away, and then almost hesitantly warm arms where wrapped around me and I snuggled against Adam closing my eyes and breathing in whatever cologne he had sprayed his clothes with. "Goodnight, Prince Adam."

"Goodnight Princess Fiona."

Adam's P.O.V

Standing alone in Fiona's room I had to stop myself from having a mental break down or anxiety attack I liked this girl so much and I was about to sleep in her bed with her...Only probably, I'm not who she thinks I am...I mean I am a boy in mind but not body and that would be harder to conceal if we we're sleeping in the same bed pressed against each other, I could have fought it and said I'd stay on the couch but who was I kidding there was no way I would have done that. The chance to be with the girl I liked even if it was just to sleep was great.

Shedding my clothing so that I was standing in boxers, a white t-shirt and my wife beater, sports bra and tenser bandage I folded everything than climbed into bed turning on a bedside lamp before removing my socks and tossing them onto my clothes, here it went. I heard the door open and I looked up, she looked great in her pajamas but Fiona Coyne looked great in everything. I looked at the pillow I had placed between me and her side of the bed and waited.

Feeling the bed dip I laid down, when she did the same I was relieved until she asked me what was wrong, and told me to remove the pillow. I remember saying something about not wanting to freak her out. I knew it was time to explain to her what was going on; I told her my secret and instead of freaking out she handled it with all the grace and poise that was expected of a Coyne, hell she even smiled at me all the while holding my hand.

Just like that she had accepted who I was, called me Adam and snuggled into me breathing deep as she settled into sleep, I was still laying here with a smile on my face as I recalled how she said goodnight, she had called me prince Adam and I had called her princess Fiona, a nickname we used all the time but something about it had changed tonight. Closing my eyes and breathing in I inhaled the smell of her perfume and shampoo, I don't know what she uses but it relaxes me enough that I start to drift of, the sound of her breathing and the feel of her in my arms is what pulled me into sleep. This very well could be the start of something great.

Clare's P.O.V

I walked into the spare room with Eli holding my hand; he gave it a reassuring squeeze. "Just sleeping Clare." I heard him say as we walked into the room, it was lit by the bed side lap I had turned on earlier when I came up to find my nail polish. Smiling I turned and looked at him. "I know when it happens. It will be at Hotel Eli." I said with a smirk and blush as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a hug, tilting my head up to place a kiss on his lips, he quickly took control but it was sweet and slow. When he pulled away I leaned in close and hugged him tight.

"I'm going to change here; you can use the bathroom first." I said pulling away from his warm embrace. "Okay, I won't be long." He stepped away and went out into the hall closing the door softly behind him as he went. I rushed over to my bag and pulled out the simple girl boxers and a tank top. I hadn't been expecting Eli to show up so I had grabbed what I usually slept in.

Changing I sat on the bed and waited for Eli to return, when he did I could smell soap and his bangs where damp from him washing his face. He smiled at me and I blushed as he stared at me he didn't say anything but I knew he was admiring me in so little. Getting up I pulled at my shirt and walk by my toiletry bag in my hand.

I quickly went through my nightly routine and then returned to the bedroom; Eli was sitting on the bed cross legged in his boxers as he looked at something sitting on my bed. Raising an eyebrow I walked closer than gasped seeing him looking at my note book, it had a picture of us taped on the inside...it was from the Romeo and Juliet project we had done, I had printed out a couple still shots and that one happened to be of us kissing..."I..." I didn't know what to say and could feel my face turn beat read.

"I never even thought of printing out a picture from the project.' He said looking at it with a smirk on his face, he closed the note book and set it aside and patted the spot beside him. "I think I will though, we don't have many pictures of us together." I couldn't help but smile as I took a seat beside him, my hand finding his he leaned over and kissed my cheek before letting go of my hand as he pulled the blanket back and crawled under. I followed him under and turned the lamp out before turning and snuggling into his chest. 'Eli?"

"Hmm?" I smiled knowing that as his arms wrapped around me he had his eyes closed. "I'm glad you're here with me tonight."

"Me too, Blue eyes me too." Closing my eyes I wrapped my arms around his waist and closed my eyes letting the sound of his beating heart lull me into a deep sleep.

Eli's P.O.V

Sharing a bed with Clare didn't make me nervous or anything it felt right, I know that all that is going to happen tonight is us sleeping, she wasn't ready yet for much else. Sooner or later I'm sure we would get restless and maybe start exploring each other's body but right now, sleep is all that is on tonight's agenda. But that almost left my mind when I saw Clare in her pajama's god she was beautiful and the blush that settled on her cheeks made me smile.

I know it's rude but I couldn't help but stare at her as she walked by me to get ready for bed, washing her face and brushing her teeth. I made my way over to the bed, stripping down to my boxer's I was nice enough and folded my clothes setting them in a pile on the floor. As I was headed back to the bed I spotted Clare's note book, it was the one she used for English. Picking it up I sat on the bed, prepared to read one of the stories I have already edited, but was surprised when I flipped the cover open, right there on the inside cover was a picture of the kiss scene from Romeo and Juliet.

I couldn't help but touch it and smile remembering that day, it was the day everything began to fall into place and look where we are now. I looked up when Clare came into the room and smiled. She didn't seem mad that I was in her book after all I have been in it a hundred times but I never looked at the front cover. She started to say something but stopped so I talked. 'I never thought of printing out a picture from the project..." I closed the note book and set it aside. "I think I will though, we don't have that many pictures of us together." Something I think we should change and maybe we will soon.

I moved and pulled the covers back crawling under waiting for her to do the same, the light was soon turned off and the room settled into darkness, I wrapped my arms around her and felt her do the same to me and sighed. I was almost asleep when I heard her say my name in question. "Eli?"

"Hmm?" I replied pulling her a little closer, my eyes still closed. 'I'm glad you're here with me tonight." She said and I smiled, my usual smirk melting away.

"Me too, Blue eyes me too." I said sleepily but it was the truth, she snuggled closer and I could feel her breathing start to even out as she drifted off to sleep with me following close behind her. I don't want to be anywhere else; having her in my arms is probably the best thing that's ever happened to me.
