Ch. 17- Surprises and Living Together
I wake up to light kisses on my forehead, cheeks, nose, and then my mouth. I open my eyes to find Nessy looking at me with a bright smile. "Was wondering when you'd wake up. Was about to do drastic measures," she voices.
I then flip us over and end up on top of her and say "Drastic measures? Now I'm curious."
She then reaches up and pulls my face down to meet hers. She kisses me suddenly and her tongue enters my mouth immediately. Our tongues fight inside each others mouths, but eventually I end up winning. We pull apart and she says "Those drastic measures."
"Wouldn't mind that," I say. I then pause when I notice a familiar taste in my mouth.
"What's wrong," she asks noticing my weird face.
"Just realizing you taste like candy corn," I say looking down at her.
She looks at me curiously and asks "Do you not like it?"
"I don't know. Why don't we test to see," I voice with a mischievous look in my eyes. She rolls her eyes at me and pulls me down again to where our mouths meet. As I pull away this time I say "I just wanted to kiss you again."
"Figured," she muttered darkly as she stretched under me. She then kissed my nose lightly and asks "Can you get off of me now? I need to go to my room and pack up my things."
"Fine," I say. I roll off of her and watch her leave the room. I then gather my stuff up and go downstairs with my things. I then go back upstairs and open Nessy's room to find her humming and putting her art supplies away. "You drew something while you were here," I voice.
She nods and says "Yep. Just got inspiration." I nod and help her put her stuff away.
We carry her stuff down together. We see North as we go. "You two leaving already," he asks.
"Sorry North, but I got to go home. Plus I really want to show Nessy her surprise," I voice.
"Alright. Have fun you two. Come for a visit soon, ya," North says.
"We will," Nessy says smiling at him brightly.
I open a portal with my foot and I say "Bye North." He waves at us as we slide down the tunnel. We pop out into the Warren. I notice Nessy smiling widely. "What's up sheela," I ask.
"I'm never not going to have fun with traveling that way. Also I am going to get used to this," she says taking in the Warren and smiling brightly.
"Come on Nessy, you want to see your surprise don't you," I say. She hops up and down and looks at me expectantly. I take her hand and lead her towards the Burrow. She looks curiouser and curiouser as I lead her to the door across from mine. I open the door and she looks in.
"Is that for me," she says with her eyes sparkling.
"Yes it is. Figured that since you've been spending more time in the Warren, you'd need your own proper room," I voice.
"Thank you," she says happily and then her face changes to thoughtful. "But you know I don't really need my own room," she says looking at me seriously.
"Yea you do. You're going to live here with me, so you at least need your own bed," I voice.
"Bunny do you really think after what happened last night that we'd sleep in separate beds? I liked snuggling with you and waking up to you was even better," she says.
I stare at her surprised and smile at her and say "Fine. You can stay in my room. We can get rid of the bed and turn it into your art studio."
"I like that idea better," she says smiling at me. She then hugs me suddenly and smiles at me brightly. "Thanks for doing this," she says.
"No problem sheela. It was fun. Besides I did it because I like you a lot. You deserve something special," I say.
"Like you," she asks.
I chuckle and say "Sure. You can have me." She hugs me again and kisses me lightly on the lips. We fix lunch together and eat at the dining room table together. "It's nice to finally have you all to myself," I voice.
"I know I feel the same way. Though I'm pretty sure that might be ruined sometimes," she says.
"Yea, the bloody show pony is bound to show up and crash our party eventually," I say. She nods and then when we finish I show her the parts of the Warren that she has yet to see. We come back to the Burrow around evening and eat together again. Then we both snuggle in the couch and talk until I notice Nessy has fallen asleep. I pick her up and place her in bed. I then crawl in next to her and she immediately curls into me. I kiss her lightly on the forehead and say "Night my love." I drift off with dreams of our future and tiny pookas running around.
A/N: They finally moved in together. Looks like their relationship is getting serious.
