Maia took a piece of popcorn laying on the couch and popped it into her mouth as he spoke. When she saw that his feet didn't move toward the bathroom, she looked up at him and almost choked on the piece of popcorn. Coughing a couple of times, she nodded and waved him on. "Okay. I'm sure I'll be right where you left me," she said in a dry voice, holding back coughs. "Sorry... didn't really.. chew it.." She averted her gaze, red blooming across her face from the sight of him. Now why did he have to go and do that? I mean... I was so in control of myself and... Maia sighed, letting her forehead hit her knees. Life could be so much better if guys still had cooties...

He blinked when she started to cough and choke on the piece of popcorn. The poor guy, completely oblivious to why she was choking. Shade nodded, "Okay, but remember to chew your food. Dying from choking on popcorn would be...a most horrible death." he said with a laugh and walked into the bathroom closing the door behind him. The sound of rushing water could be heard, he was obviously showering and yeah.
After about fifteen minutes the sound of the water stopped and you could hear the door to the shower being opened then closed. Wet footsteps could be heard coming closer and closer toward the door and then it opened. There stood Shade in nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. [you know that is hawt XD] His face was slightly pink, he was embarrassed by something. "I...uh...forgot to bring clothes into the bathroom...." he said stuttering slightly, face becoming an even darker shade of pink. This is....awkward.... he thought biting his bottom lip, Oh why didn't I remember to take clothes in there?....I have such bad luck.....[/size]

Maia nodded, watching him like a hawk as he entered the bathroom and closed the door. She stood, walking away from the couch with her hands to her head. "Okay, Maia. Just don't think about him. Of course he had his shirt off, but that doesn't mean you have to get all googly-eyed over him. He doesn't even like you! His future foretold him falling in love, but he doesn't even believe in it, so why should I?" she muttered extra quietly to herself, pacing back and forth in front of the entertainment system. She sighed, her hands falling to her sides. "Of all people..." Maia shook her head and walked toward the bed, flopping on top of it.
"I knew something would happen when he went over to you. It was just the way you acted toward him as a cat." Maia sat up sharply, looking around the room. She caught a faint shimmer near the couch, a dim silhouette in a leaning position. In a matter of seconds, it became a more solid shape and there was her younger brother. "The way I've been watching you, you barely had any acknowledgements toward animals. Yet you didn't just pass him by like you normally would have."
Maia rubbing at her eyes, shook her head, but he was still there. "Benny...?" she murmured, scooting the edge of the fluffy bed. Her brows furrowed, her arms crossing over her chest. "What do you mean by that? I have no idea what you mean!" Ben laughed and appeared next to her, sitting on the bed. He laid back, taking a few pillows and tossing them on the floor as he swung his leg back and forth.
"You heard me, Maia. Don't think that I see you goggling over him, especially when he took off his shirt.. I mean, come on..." He shoved at her, but she only felt an icy cold wind bite at her shoulder. Maia sighed frustratedly, standing and moving away from him. But that was when Shade had come out of the bathroom with only a towel on. She made the stupid mistake of looking at him.
"Oh go-" She paused, hiding her face as she turned away sharply. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to... I just thought... Ugh, I'm so retarded..." She muttered the last under her breath, hunkering down near the bed so he could get his clothes. Maia could hear her brother's laughter in her ear and felt a chilly feeling on her back. "Shut up, Benny. I so wish I could hit you right now!"

His face turned a bright crimson and he hurried to gather a clean outfit. "N...no it's...my fault I should have gotten clothes, I'm sorry..." he stuttered, words coming out flaw-fully. Once he had an out he raced back into the bathroom closing the door immediately. About five minutes passed and he came back out once more ruffling his wet hair with a towel. His face was still bright red and he tried to keep from looking at her. He wore a plain black shirt and black shorts that went slightly past his knee revealing his tan legs. Shade walked over to her sitting on the edge of the bed, "I'm sorry." he repeated. "It was completely my fault, I should have remembered to take clothes...". He tossed the now damp towel to the side and shook his head hoping to fix his messy hair that was now dry. "Next time I'll remember to take clothes in there, I promise." he told her managing an embarrassed smile. He held out his hair to her so she could grab it and get up. As he did that his eyes wandered to the window, looking out it at the night-time sky. Then he looked back down at her, "So...are you staying here tonight?" he asked curiously face now just a slight pink. "It...uh...wouldn't make much sense to go back to your room....who knows what creeps are out there waiting to tackle a beautiful girl like you."

Maia shook her head, taking his hand and standing up. "It's okay... It is your room, after all..." she said, sitting on the bed next to him. When he mentioned her staying the night, her face turned crimson and she ran a hand through her hair. "I uh... uh..." She caught her little brother out of the corner of her eye and looked at him. He had arched a brow, immitating the 'chicken.' She glared at him, looking at the ground, then looked up at Shade. "Sure. Truthfully, I don't have a room. I always spent my time in the jungle or at the springs in the mountains."

"Okay," he told her smiling even more. "Do you need something to wear? 'Cause you can always borrow a shirt and everything.". Shade nodded and stood up, standing on the soft black-carpeted floor. "You can have the bed, I'll sleep on the couch." he told her, being quite the gentleman. Who couldn't love this guy? So nice and kind, hawt and he was so cute when he got embarrassed. He walked over and stepped down onto the lower level of the room, sitting on the couch grabbing one of the blankets and placing it on the one cushion. He grabbed a few pillows and put them on there, too. Shade didn't mind, really he didn't. If she was happy, he was happy. "I...uh....hope you'll be cmfortable." he told her still smiling, "If you're not let me know."[/size]

Maia looked at him, surprise on her face. "W-what? Wait! I mean, this is your room. You sleep on your bed and I can take the couch. It doesn't bother me any..." she said, standing and following him. She leaned over the back of the couch, hands resting on the ebon cushions. "Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean you have to treat me like a patient in a hospital. I'm very capable of finding ways to take care of myself." At least from most things.... she thought.

"No, no! I insist, really. You'd be much more comfortable in the bed." he told her not about to accept 'no' for an answer. He had a feeling she'd be stubborn so he might as well take action. "If you won't go to the bed I'll put you there." he said eyes flashing daring. Suddenly he bowled over the back of the couch and stood beside her. Then he put an arm behind her back and the other one behind her knees and swooped her up into his arms. "I win," he said with a laugh and put her on the bed walking back to the couch and sitting back down. "now just go to sleep and pretend it's your room and I'm not here okay?"[/size]

Maia thought about kicking her legs and acting like a two-year old, but she thought against it. Instead, her body had tensed slightly in surprise and stayed that way even when he had returned to the couch. She laid back slowly, not even bothering with the blankets. "That... might be impossible for me.." she said quietly, turning on her right side so her back was facing the couch. She bit her lower lip, feeling all too comfortable in the bed and being surrounded by several pillows. Stupid big bed with all these pillows... she thought, glaring at one of the navy blue pillows next to her. "Are you sure you don't want to sleep in your own bed?"

"Nothing's impossible..." he told her laying down on the sleek black couch. "I'm sure, honestly. I'd never lie to you." Shade didn't get why she couldn't just go to sleep and not keep asking him if he wanted the bed. "Don't worry I'll be fine, there isn't anything wrong with the couch." he told her, secretly smiling, "You'll have more room and everything with the bed, don't keep trying to give up the chance 'cause I might take it if you keep complaining." He meant it all as good humor. Shade wouldn't really take the bed if she kept doing that, just pretend like he was going to.

Maia sighed, rolling off of the bed. The soles of her shoes were barely heard against the carpeted floor as she stepped around the couch, grabbed his arm, and hauled him off of the couch. "Fine. It looks like we're sharing because I won't stop complaining and I truthfully don't want to give up the bed," she said, dragging him toward the fluffy navy blue bed. She sat on the edge of the bed, taking her shoes off. "Just make sure... you don't get on my side or I might freak out or something..." she said. She wanted to create her own limits, knowing she couldn't get close, wouldn't get close to him. Maia glanced up at him, waiting for him to say something.

"Fine, but don't steal my covers or anything like that." he told her with a laugh. ''Cause I will steal them back." With a nod he climbed onto his side of the bed and climbed under the covers. He rested his head on the fluffy, cool pillow behind him and closed his eyes ready to fall into the mystery of sleep. Shade made sure to stay on his side and even give her extra room. His one hand clenched the covers and the other lay under the pillow. He looked like he was asleep, but really he was on the border-line of awake and sleep. Oh but she might want to watch out, sure he looked comfortable how he was...but he had this little problem...So she was afraid of freaking out? Well....then maybe this wasn't a good idea...[/size]

"No problem," she agreed, lifting the blankets and slipping under them. She threw a few pillows across the bed as she rearranged the ones around her, then settled comfortably into the bed. "'Night." With that, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, briefly feeling a light cold wind on her face. Night, Benny, she thought tiredly, hugging a pillow closer to her. Maybe she'd have some good dreams tonight instead of horrible nightmares.

...And then the problem started. Poor Shade, more asleep then awake stirred slightly. You see, having lived about 7 years as a regular pet cat he was used to snuggling up against things and everything. It had become an instinct over the years I guess you could say, or maybe even a habit. He rolled closer to her, now laying on his side once again and facing her. His arms went around her in a hug and he buried his face in the crook of her neck. There was something good about him though, he never snored or made any noise when he slept so atleast she wouldn't be bothered until she woke up. Finally, he was lost in the darkness of his mind, a somewhat smile on his face as he was cuddled up against her. Oh she had to be loving that.[/size]

Maia shifted, her mind beginning to wake up along with the light outside. Warmth surrounded her, a comforting warmth that blankets alone couldn't give. She snuggled closer, her face resting on top of his head. Maia took a breath, then stopped before she let it out. Her eyes opened sharply, her heart stuttering and her mind going blank. As if it was a reflex, she moved away quickly only to fall straight off of the bed, hitting her head on the floor. "Ow! Shit!!" she exclaimed, rubbing her hurting head with one of her hands. Even though the ground was carpeted, it still hurt.
