Chapter 10: Spending The Night Together

*Eri Looks over at you, a comfortable

silence settling between us as we

watch the sky turn from orange to

purple to pitch black*

Eri: Y'know, sometimes I wish I could

just stay up here forever. Never

have to go back to school, or

home, or deal with whatever other

boring adult crap life throws at

you. Just hang out on this rooftop

with you and the stars.

Lucian: Yeah this is much better than all that..

*Eri Shivers slightly as the night breeze

picks up*

Eri: It's gettin' a bit cold, isn't it? You

sure you're not freezing?

Lucian: Take your jacket back on ill be

fine..

*Eri Rolls over, looking at you with

narrowed eyes*

Eri: No way, l already gave it to you for

a reason. I'm not taking it back. But I got an idea.

*Eri Scootches closer to you until we're

almost touching, and drapes my

arm over your shoulders*

Eri: There. Body heat. That'll keep us

both nice and warm.

Lucian: True...

*mumbles it blushing slightly*

*Eri Smiles, feeling the warmth

radiating from you as we lay close

to each other*

Eri: See? Sometimes I have good

ideas too, y'know.

*Eri Looks up at the stars starting to

twinkle in the sky, suddenly feeling

very sleepy*

Lucian: Today was fun... With you..

*Eri Yawns softly, feeling her eyelids

drooping*

Eri: Yeah...it was. We need to skip

school more often. Make it a

regular thing.

*Eri Stifles another yawn*

Eri: Man, I'm really tired all of a

Sudden.

*I pull jacket from underneath me and puts it Over her as a blanket*

*Eri's Eyes widen slightly at the gesture,

feeling a warm sense of fondness*

Eri: Hey, what are you doing? I told you,

that iacket is vour's for tonight

Lucian: You need it...

*Eri Smiles tiredly, feeling the

drowsiness taking over*

Eri: You're too nice for your own good,

y'know that? But if you say so...

*Eri Tucks the jacket around her,

wrapping it tighter for warmth*
