Like Fire and Ice (Icefox and CrimsonEclipse)

[IceQueen]

Akira looked at her arms. "These, are the only things that keep me sane." She said.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

He looks at her confused. "What do you mean 'keep you sane'?" He asks. He's not afraid that she might be a psycho, he's afraid that she might hurt herself again.

 

[IceQueen]

Akira looked at him. "The voices, the won't stop. Nothing works. Nothing but pain." She said.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"Okay, just don't kill yourself." He said, smiling at her. "I know you don't want to talk about it, but I'm here for you. Now get some rest." He said, kissing her forehead and leaving the room.

 

[IceQueen]

Akira watched him leave. She wasn't sure she could ever trust him. But maybe she could, just for once.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Sebastian decided to sleep as well. He lay down on the couch, sleeping.

 

[IceQueen]

Akira curled up, tucking herself under her covers and falling asleep, which was perfect, until she started having a nightmare.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Sebastian fell off the couch, awakened by the screaming. He rushed to the bedroom and he saw Akira, crying and shouting in her sleep. "Hey, I'm here. Don't cry." He said, hugging her in her sleep. "Don't worry, no one's going to hurt you." He said.

 

[IceQueen]

Akira stopped shouting in her sleep, curling her arms around him and having a regular dream.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"I'm here. I won't leave you." He said, kissing your forehead. He started singing a lullaby. He still has his arms wrapped around you, not wanting to let you go.

 

[IceQueen]

Akira slept peacefully until the morning. When she woke up, she jumped back, letting out a scream.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"What's wrong?" He asks, still half asleep.

 

[IceQueen]

Akira looked at him. "Why are you in my bed?" She said.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"We did not do anything but sleep." He said, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. "You are having nightmares, so I slept beside you to calm you down." He said, stretching.

 

[IceQueen]

Akira sighed. "Good." She said.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"Why, what did you think I did?" He ask, going to the bathroom.

 

[IceQueen]

Akira shrugged. "I have no idea, but my memory and the connection to the word boy does not have a pretty picture." She said.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"Fine, but if you ever start having nightmares, I'll sleep with you, got it?" He asked, taking a shower.

 

[IceQueen]

Akira sighed, walking into the kitchen to eat. "Fine."

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

After having a shower, Sebastian went to the kitchen to eat. "What was your nightmare?" He casually asked.

 

[IceQueen]

Akira shook her head. "I don't want to talk about it." She said, grabbing a bowl and cereal.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"Fine." He said, making himself a sandwich. "So, what do you want to do today?" He asks.

 

[IceQueen]

Akira shrugged. "Normally on weekends, I sit around and draw, or hand out with Sakura." She said.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"Who's Sakura?" He asks, taking a bite of the sandwich. "Wanna invite her over?" He asks.

 

[IceQueen]

Akira looked at him. "I thought you where so in love with me that you where stalking me. She is my one and only friend at school."
