The second the door to Simon's room closed, silence reigned in the rather large room. Despite being free from the thousand and one questions his parents had been bombarding Vivian with, she felt far more nervous now that she was alone with Simon in his room, "Um," Vivian started as she fidgeted with the hem of her shirt, crossing her arms a bit to give herself a bit of a barrier from her fellow 'henchman'. Whatever unease she was feeling was not replicated in her companion who walked around with a noticeable skip in his step as he started to clear out his pockets, setting his phone on the charger, tossing his wallet and keys on the nightstand, "This has been awesome," Simon said as he half turned to look at her, "Your acting was kind of shit, but they still bought it, hook line and sinker."
"But why did we even try to.. And why did you tell them that.." Vivian started and stopped more then a few times as if she wasn't sure which was worse, that he tried to rob his parents or that he lied to them and involved her in the lie. Well, okay, the robbing had to be worst, right? She was going to call her parents tomorrow just to tell them she loved them.
"Hey, its perfect," Simon said as he dropped down onto the bed and started to untie his shoes, "They think we're dating, living together, which we are living together, so now they'll bump up my allowance to help with the whole poor girlfriend thing and I won't even have to get a job. Its perfect. We can milk this for a long time. All you have to do is answer the phone when they call and tell them you're writing for graduation and settling in your career before having kids."
"K-Kids?" Vivian squeaked, stepping closer to the door and putting as much space between him and herself as possible, her eyes jumping to the bed he was sitting on despite herself.
"Yeah, k-" Simon started and then rolled his eyes, "Fuck sake Velma, we're not actually going to have kids. We aren't dating. This just gets us some money so we can do the whole glorious fucking mission thing," Simon said as he finally wrestled off his shoes and started to disrobe properly.
"W-Wait!" Vivian said as she jumped her eyes to the window to stare out into the darkness, "Where should I sleep?"
"Uh, here? Parents think we're together, remember?" Simon said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, "Either on the bed or on the floor. Although I'm not giving you the comforter, so if you sleep on the floor you're outta luck and my parents don't tend to turn the heater on so I don't wanna hear any whining about being sick if you do."
"Can't I go to the guest room?" Vivian asked
"Only if you want to ruin all this, give back the necklace and lose out on the big ass TV I plan on getting for the living room. Gonna make Wolf cry like a baby while watching that HD," Simon said as he stripped down to his boxes, pulled the comforter back and slid in, "Come on, Velma, get in."
"B-But, I've never.. with anyone.."
"Hey, we're sleeping, I'd sooner bang Wolf or that weird shadow octopus thing, so hurry up before I make you sleep on the floor," Simon said as he rolled his eyes.
"O-Okay," Vivian said hesitantly and inched forward as if expecting Simon to spring out of the bed and attack her at any moment. Gradually, as she realized how silly she was being and that she was an adult, she picked up the pace and gently sat down on the opposite side of the bed to remove her shoes, but that was going to be all she removed.
When she finally got in, squished to the very edge of the bed with nearly a foot and a half of space between herself and the half-naked Simon, she pulled the blanket up to her chin and gave him a small nod to turn off the light. As the room grew dark with the loud click of the lamp, silence grew and stayed for what felt like hours, but it had only been a few moment. Taking a small breath, Vivian broke it, "S-Simon?"
"Hn?" Simon said, his eyes closed as he relaxed in his bed. Oh yes, he was going to buy new beds for the mansion too, the beds there were awful.
"T-Thank you for, um," Vivian's voice died off. Thank you for what? Listening? Doing the bare minimum which was more then what most people did? That sounded so sad and lame, "Remember that stuff about me," she finished in a rushed breath.
Her heart thudded in her chest and she peeked at Simon who hadn't moved in the dark, his breath steady. He was already asleep, he probably hadn't even... A blush stretched across her face, hidden in the dark, as she realized she had just thanked someone who wasn't even awake to hear her! She closed her eyes and did her best to relax and drift to sleep, the heavy weight of Simon, so close, was somehow both daunting and comforting as sleep finally claimed her.
