A/N: A short Dick/Verena for Kelly1432. :) Sorry it's not as long, but the creative juices weren't flowing. :c Which kinda sucks too because it'll be the last Dick/Verena chapter for a while (around 10 chapters or so).

The door to my room suddenly popped open and I didn't bother looking up, already feeling the familiar presence and knowing who came in without knocking.

"I thought you were having dinner with the rest of the Mathletes," I said, not reading the page, but not putting down the book either.

"It was cancelled because some things came up," Dick replied, jumping onto my bed. I bounced slightly from his entrance, but it didn't bother me.

"Pity," I mock-sighed, "I was hoping for a quiet night to myself."

"We're us, V. We don't get quiet nights," Dick told me. I nodded and began reading my page.

I felt something run up and down my calf, and shifted my leg slightly, but didn't bother to turn my focus to it. I knew it was Dick, but continued to just read.

The light touch slowly turned into a massage, and I stretched my legs out to avoid them from falling asleep.

I lowered my book and arched a brow. Dick tossed me an innocent smile, looking me with a face that read, 'Hm? Did I do something?'

I rolled my eyes and refocused on my book.

The touching resumed and I rolled my eyes, forcing myself to focus on the novel. Wait… I think I read that sentence three times already. Dammit.

I peeked over my book to glare lightly at Dick. He continued to smile at me, but still rubbed my leg gently.

"Why are you touching me?" I asked him, quirking an eyebrow.

Dick blinked innocently, looking at me with wide grey-blue eyes that held a tint of mischief in them. "Do you not like me touching you? I think I have rather magical hands."

I let out a very attractive snort (note the sarcasm). Magical hands? Well… he did give massages.

"Aha! You have a contemplative look! You're considering the beauty of my hands!" To prove it, he raised his free hand and wiggled his long fingers.

"If you give me a massage, I'll consider it…" I said, cocking my head to the side.

Dick's smile grew and he patted my leg gently. "Roll over then."

I bookmarked my page before rolling over onto my stomach, placing my book onto the nightstand as I did so. I then rested my head on my arms before wiggling to get myself comfortable.

I felt Dick hover over me before his hands, especially his fingers, placed themselves exactly where I needed them.

He pressed against my muscles, and I groaned happily. He really did know me so well. "Oh God…" I sighed.

"Not God," Dick chuckled. "Just me."

"Smart ass," I retorted. "Just continue the massage."

"I'm at your service, m'lady."


A/N: Reviews are like massages from Dick~! ;) New update tomorrow (I swear. I already wrote the next chapter!)
