Something like justice,
or something like faith..
It seemed like everything had gone back to normal. Not long ago, they had managed to rescue Diana from her captor, and gotten her safely home. Now Merlin had been with her, just glad to see she was alright. He was afraid to leave her side after an incident like that. He didn't want anyone else getting their hands on her again.
As for the vampire couple, they were at each others` sides as usual, flirting away. Everything seemed rather.. peaceful, actually. It was nice..
Stefan had been exhausted. He had been trained for things like this, but he hadn't expected to actually use his training in a long while. So, as soon as they got home and made sure everyone was alright, he felt the need to take a shower, and then a nap. Though, despite his exhaustion, even after his shower, he could only lay there on his--er, the guest bed. He really shouldn't call it his. After all, he wasn't really living there.. Was he?
Unable to fall asleep, Stefan got up from the bed and decided to go find Mellina. Everyone else was with the ones they cared for.. For him, that was Mellina. So, he thought, why not be with her?
Well, he'd been in his room.. So he had no clue where she could be. The first place he thought he would check was her room. So, finding her door, he knocked a few times. "Mellina? It's Stefan. You in there?" Not that it was hard to tell who it was.. His deep voice was rather recognizable.
((If you want her to be anywhere else, just say it in your post and he'll go find her : P Also, figured I'd wait until a couple posts before bringing that dude in xP ))

Mellina Mizu  Stefan wasn't the only one with the thought of a shower and nap in mind, after all the...excitement their group had gone through. Thankfully they had gotten Diana back, with little trouble, from the one that they found had gotten possession of Diana when she was taken from Alex's...Eden. The man had been so absorbed in his own business, they had taken him down easily without actually having to kill him which they would have had to do if necessary. Mellina was glad that they hadn't had to though, that was one less body on her conscience like the last one that had tried to harm the fairy girl.
Once home, after a bit of a tearful yet happy, and...huggy reunion with Diana, they had left Merlin with her, who was being so sweet and attentive and protective, rather watchful to keep anything from happening again. Mellina had gone to the upstairs bathroom, dropping herself into a nice warm bubble bath, her hair tied up into a bun, a few little pink strands of hair slipping free of the hair tie and hanging around her face and neck. Feeling herself nodding off for a few minutes, her head laying against the edge, a few minutes after she turned off the water, drying herself off and peeked out the bathroom door making sure no one was right there before slipping back into her room, having just the towel tied around her body.
Too lazy to use her instant clothing trick with her powers, Mellina went into her closet, picking around for something to wear. She had been dressed into a comfortable soft nightgown that fluttered around her knees, as it was kind of warm out so she didn't want to be wearing something that would make her feel stuffy. Her hair still tied up, she turned hearing a knocking at her door, smiling when she'd heard Stefan's voice. Opening her door, smiling up at Stefan, chuckling lightly as she answered his question just that moment before, "yes I'm here...come in, come in," motioning for him to come past the door, shutting it behind him so no one would come popping in unexpectedly. "Can't sleep can you?...I kind of figured everyone would be out cold by now, after that earlier...battle..." Which was why she questioned him about that since it was so quiet it seemed everyone might have been asleep.

Naturally, when Stefan had gotten out of the shower, he didn't put all of the same clothes on. He didn't really have much else to wear except the same couple of uniforms--both the same, of course--but if he planned on taking a nap, he wasn't going to sleep with his coat, boots, and gloves, for example. In fact, normally he would have only worn his black tank top and his boxers, but.. Well, he didn't want to show up at Mellina's door like that.. He made sure to at least put on some pants..
Hearing Mellina call back, allowing him to go in, Stefan opened the door and stepped inside. "Oh. Uh.." Seeing her in her nightgown, he just assumed she'd been sleeping. "Sorry. Did I wake you?" It was odd enough that he couldn't sleep. He felt exhausted, yet his eyes just wouldn't stay shut. Rubbing his head, he said, "No, can't sleep.. Not sure why. My body wants to sleep, but my eyes wont let me." He laughed a little, still a little worried that he may have woken Mellina up. Everyone else was surely sleeping by now.

Mellina Mizu Mellina shook her head, waving it off, "No, no...I was still awake...I was falling asleep in the bath I just got back in my room as you got here..." Smiling a little listening to his answer to her question. "Aw...well that's not good..." Thinking on it a moment, "if you'd like...I could make you some tea that might just help..." Or they could stay here and just talk for a bit, keep each other company which they'd be doing either way whether it was in her room or the kitchen. Mellinga smirking a little, thinking back when they were doing the same thing, chatting in the kitchen, which led to their little baking incident with the flour.

Stefan was a little relieved to hear she wasn't sleeping, but still.. If she was falling asleep in the tub, she must have been in some need of sleep. Yet, even though she was tired, she offered to make him tea. That was only one thing he liked about her.. She was thinking more of others than herself. He should do the same. "That'd be nice.. but I don't think I could. We had a hard time with that rescue mission, and I'm sure you're exhausted." Stefan's hand rubbed at the back of his neck, lightly, his expression still holding a bit of guilt. He couldn't keep her awake just because he couldn't sleep. "Why don't I just let you get some rest, huh?" He smiled a bit and said, "I'll be fine. I'm sure I can get myself to sleep if I really try."
As he looked at her, however, Stefan started to think he knew exactly why he couldn't sleep.. The girls had already been kidnapped once, and he has no idea what might have happened to them that maybe they weren't telling them. Then they had to rescue Diana, as she had been sold off like some slave. If that had ever happened to Mellina.. Stefan couldn't imagine how he would feel. After the many events, he was starting to become paranoid. Maybe he couldn't sleep because he knew, even with Mellina's room so close to his, anything could happen to her while he slept away..
In short, Stefan was afraid to leave her alone again. He wanted to be there to protect her.

Mellina Mizu As if on cue, Mellina had yawned, raising her hand to her lips covering it. Chuckling lightly "well...I guess that's my body answering you for me..." since she'd yawned when he was talking about her being exhausted. Shaking her head a moment, "mhm...I am tired...but it's like that kind of tired where you know you want to sleep...but somehow you still feel so awake at the same time." Pursing her lips not really sure how to explain it. Leaning on the door frame listening to the rest of what Stefan was saying, she was thinking a moment before answering. Standing up straight again, off the doorframe. Fidgeting a bit deciding she hadn't really wanted him leaving her right now...even if his room was just a short way from her.
"Um...Stefan...you could sleep with me..." Pausing a moment and flushing a bright red shaking her head fast when she realized how that could have been taken the way she had said that. Embarressed as she added quick, "I-I mean...I mean sleep in my room...here...with me if you would prefer the company...that might help you get to sleep." Biting her lip, giggling lightly still her cheeks pretty red from that little slip up.

The way Mellina explained how she felt--tired, but awake--it sounded like she was having trouble sleeping, too. Maybe she was afraid, he wondered. She didn't seem like the type to scare easily, but he wouldn't blame her if she was frightened, after everything they'd gone through. He wondered if there was any way he could help.
When he saw her fidgeting, he wondered even more about his theory. Was she really frightened? He frowned, wanting to comfort her, but how?
However, he soon realized the fidgeting was for a completely different reason.
Mellina was exactly right to think it could be taken the wrong way. Before she had corrected herself, Stefan was staring at her in shock; his eyes were wide, his jaw dropped, and of course, there was a bright blush going across his face from one cheek to the other. Where had this suggestion come from?!
When she did finally explain herself, Stefan felt the embarrassment she was feeling. Her embarrassment was for stating it wrong, while his embarrassment was for taking it wrong. She must have known what he assumed, right? With the reaction he gave, he just hoped she didn't think he was some kind of.. of pervert!
"O-Oh. Yeah.. I mean.." He was still a bit surprised at the offer to sleep in her room. It kind of came out of nowhere, but.. truthfully, it would help him sleep.. Just knowing he had the choice to stay in there with her was causing his eyes to feel heavy with the much needed sleep. "You'd really be alright with that?" He was trying to find a way to agree without sounding eager. Again, rubbing the back of his neck, he said, "I guess it could help.. You're really sure?" Naturally, he still had a hint of blush, as well. That had to have been the most awkward misunderstanding he'd ever experienced.

Mellina Mizu Mellina had a hand covering her face, after seeing the expression on Stefan's face feeling all the more embbarressed about how she had first worded that, and couldn't help thinking how Stefan must have taken it the way she had accidentally seemed to mean it. Waiting for Stefan to say something, anything, since she was mortified at how her original remark had come out. Kind of relieved when he finally spoke. Nodding sheepishly like, "yes...If I wasn't I wouldn't have suggested it," smiling a little to show she was serious really. Her mind thinking a little like Stefan's had before, it wasn't exactly that she was afraid but she did feel better with Stefan around and the fact she was having trouble sleeping like he was, then maybe this was a better solution for them both. She couldn't help giggling lightly, at his still questioning, trying to loosen up again and not dwell in the previous embarressment. "I am very sure Stefan...since it seems we're both having some sleep troubles...it may certainly help."

Both Stefan and Mellina seemed equally embarrassed for what was almost an extremely awkward misunderstanding. He was just glad she didn't take back the offer or anything because of it. It was best just to forget it happened, right?
Mellina was right, though. If they were both having trouble sleeping, and even for similar reasons, this could certainly help. Looking around, Stefan said, "Alright, then.. You have an extra pillow and blanket in here, right? If you toss them over, I can lay them out on the floor." He was trying to find a good place to put them. Next to her bed, maybe? Would she mind that?
One thing that Stefan certainly would never admit out loud was the fact that when there was that second where he actually thought Mellina was suggesting.. well, you know.. Such an image flashed into his mind for that short moment. It was that image that was what really got his face red, and now, it was that image that was keeping that red tint on his cheeks. It wasn't like he just stood there thinking about it, of course, but now that it was there, it wouldn't get out from the very back of his thoughts. It was embarrassing, really.
((Stefan, you perv! D< (lol jk jk)))

Moving aside from the door Mell was waiting for Stefan to come into her room. Hearing his request about an extra pillow and blanket. "Well...yes I do...but uh...Stefan..." Blushing lightly making sure she didn't blurt out some misworded thing again. "Well...my bed is...big enough...you don't have to sleep on the floor."

Stefan hadn't expected Mellina to actually offer he use the bed. In the beginning, he couldn't be sure if she meant the bed or the floor, but he wasn't going to bring that question up only to bring more embarrassment. So he took the safest choice. 'She would actually be alright with that?' he thought.
Well.. As nice as a bed would be--not to mention being able to sleep so close to the woman he admittedly had feelings for--he always tried his best to be a gentleman.. And a gentleman would be satisfied sleeping on the floor and letting the woman have the bed to herself.. Right?
Finally stepping more into the room, Stefan shook his head. "Thanks for the offer, but.. I couldn't. I'll be just fine on the floor once I have a blanket and pillow. Really." He smiled so she wouldn't worry about him. When he did get the extra pillow and blanket Mellina was willing to let him have, he placed the pillow next to her bed--leaving some room, however, so that if she forgot he was down there, she wouldn't accidentally step on or trip over him. Then he sat on the floor with the blanket laid out in his lap.
"See?" he said, smiling up at her. "It's not a problem. Now, how about we get some rest?" He stretched his arms a bit before laying his head on the pillow and getting situated on the floor, under the blanket. When he closed his eyes, he knew it wouldn't be long before he was out cold. He was starting to really feel the much needed sleep, and he was sure she was, as well.

Mellina Mizu Mellina didn't object though she kind of wanted to, since one she didn't like the thought he was sleeping on the floor which to her seemed uncomfortable, that and as much as she wasn't admitting, she would have liked sleeping next to him...well...cuddled up to him. Biting her lip before her cheeks went flushing bright again at just that thought. "Well...if you're sure..." smiling a little, getting him the extra pillow and blanket, she sat up on her bed, laying on her stomach and lookig over the edge down where he was sitting. In fact if anything her expression looked almost pouting like disappointed, but she smiled a little to hide it nodding a little to the getting some sleep. She waited a few minutes while he had laid down, laying down herself before sitting up again and grabbing her blanket and pillow, she slid off her bed moving so quick with little....impact like knocking into Stefan or anything, that if he blinked he would have been looking like not realizing she'd moved...magic trick. Mellina sat down in the space Stefan had left if she were getting out of her bed, and laid down right up close with him, pillow under her head and blanket pulled over a bit. Smiling waiting to see if he looked and realized she was there yet.

On his back, eyes closed, Stefan normally wouldn't have bothered to open his eyes again before falling asleep. Though.. if you've ever had someone beside or behind you, and even though you couldn't see them, it was as if you felt another presence.. That was similar to the feeling Stefan had. With his eyes closed, he could almost sense someone right beside him, which, of course, threw him off. Mellina was in the bed, he knew that, so he must have been imagining it, right?
Feeling the need to open his eyes if just to check, he did so, and glanced beside him. There, on the floor with him, smiling right back, was Mellina. A second passed before it hit him, and when it did, he almost jumped a bit. "Eh?? M..Mellina? When did..?" He looked up to the bed, as if expecting to see her up there instead, where she initially was, then he returned his eyes to her. "Ah... What... What are you doing down here?" When he said he was going to sleep on the floor, he didn't mean for her to join him. Not that he minded.. but.. had she misunderstood?
Of course, with Mellina lying so close, that pink tint in his cheeks that had finally faded away was back, only in lighter, less vibrant color.
