Welcome to Gaia! ::

Beck felt Tray relax and actually hug him back. Something that kind of surprised him. A few more seconds passed in silence as they both enjoyed the hug. Thoughts then began to fill his head as he slowly let go.

He slowly coughed into his hand as a blush crossed his face. "If you want...the offer is out there for you to come sleep with me." he said before quickly adding "No funny business. Nothing wrong or dirty...just sleeping in the same bed."

Beck nodded as his shoulders sunk a little due to her answer. "The offer's still out there." he said with a light chuckle, although it sounded forced. "See you tomorrow okay. Good night." He said before turning around and walking into his room.

Shutting the door behind him Beck walked and plopped onto his bed, staring at the ceiling with a sigh leaving him. He then put his fist against his forehead as he said "I'm an idiot." He then leaned up and took off his shirt before laying on his back and tossing aside the cloth.

Beck put his hands behind his head and looked up at the ceiling in silence. His heart feeling as though every beat it made sent a pang of hurt throughout his chest. It was an annoying kind of pain, tolerable but annoying.

He took a few deeps breaths, trying to ignore it as he realized that Tray may not feel the same way. "Of course she doesn't like me...she trained me. That's all...trainers don't fall for trainees...even though the work they've done is succeeded...that's the only thing she see's me as... a battle comrade that succeeded in the Revolution." he said with a frown, a tear developing in his eye as he sunk even lower into the bed.

After Becks eyes adjusted to the darkness, he believed he heard a noise. Something on the other side of his door. He slowly got up and produced a small dagger from a drawer as he began to walk towards the door. Holding it defensively, he slowly opened up the door and used a combination of the moonlight and the knifes blade to see around the corner. Nothing. The King then slowly walked out into the hallway and saw that it was empty.

The ceiling was too high for anyone to hide in, even through magical enhancements but he still looked up, tossing a small ball of flames up to reveal nobody. He then caught it and did the same to the other end of the hallway, opposite of Tray's room. It flickered a little bit as the little sphere hovered before moving over to a candle and lighting it. Beck put a small spell in it to where if anyone suspicious came towards either room, the fire would extend and light their clothes on fire. Not enough to injure, just to startle.

After slowly closing the door behind him-placing the dagger on a nearby dresser. He shut it and walked towards Tray's door. He stopped for a moment, feeling nervous. After taking a deep breath -and some extra fiery precautions that involved the candles- he slowly entered.

With a small cough and shutting the door with a blush he said "I have a bad feeling...I don't know if your awake or not but...I'll be sleeping with you for tonight. A gut feeling about my room..." he gave a nervous laugh before walking over to the bed and paused to look at Tray.

His heart skipped a beat as she lay, most likely asleep he thought. The moonlight shown on her and illuminated the majority of the room. With a light gulp, he pulled up the blanket and sheets, and slid in rather smoothly.

Beck blinked and blushed profusely as she faced him. Beck slowly moved forward to where they were only about an inch apart. He had the urge to hold her, probably give her an extra feeling of safety but for fear of waking her up, didn't.

He placed a hand below the pillow his laid his head on, and relaxed with a smile before closing his eyes. A few minutes later, he moved a bit before wrapping an arm around Tray,pulling her close to the silver haired King as he mumbled gibberish.

Beck let out a small snore but slept soundly the rest of the night as he held Tray close to him.

~~~~~~The Next Morning~~~~~~

The morning light shown through the windows and brightened up the room. A few morning shadows were caused by the bed but nonetheless, it was bright. Birds flew past the window and tweeted before perching in a tree not far off from the grounds. A chicken clucked in the distance before cooing with the rest throughout the town.

Beck heard the animals and slowly opened his eyes, looking around lazily before his eyes fell on Tray, still asleep. His arm was around her and she seemed to be cuddled into him. With a small smile he slipped his other arm around her waist like the other before he held her closer, laying his head down, then falling back to sleep.

Beck slept for a few more minutes before opening his eyes, fully awake. He looked at Tray for a bit before giving a small chuckle. "Hey Tray...time to wake up." said the King as he shook her, not fully registering that she was in a nightgown and he was shirtless. "What do you want for breakfast?" asked the man as he rested against the mattress.

"It is and we don't necessarily have too." he said with a smile. She was right though, it was a bit early and kind of odd for him to wake up but he didn't care. She apparently seemed not to mind the current situation.
