Amber chuckled softly and pulled back to softly kiss his cheek. “Okay, maybe we should actually pay attention to the show, now.”

Jace sighed dramatically and pulled Amber close, resting her head on his chest. “If you say so, love. I’ll pay attention to the show.”

Amber sighed at the nickname. Did he really love her? Or was it just a term of endearment?

“I hope you like it.”

“I hope so, too, Amber,” Jace murmured, looking over at the screen just as the episode began to play.

Amber had gotten through an episode and a half this time before her eyelids started to droop. She yawned and curled closer to Jace, losing herself in his warmth. She tries to fight the inevitable sleep — really, she did! — but it was too strong. They'd barely gotten further in the episode when Amber drifted off into a deep sleep, one that she hoped she wouldn't be awoken from.

Jace looked down when Amber curled up against him, smiling softly when he noticed she’d fallen asleep on him. He chuckled, wrapping an arm around her shoulders to make them both comfortable.

That was when William came out of his room, eyes snapping over to them. For a few seconds, they maintained eye contact, but then William walked into the kitchen, poured himself a glass of water and drank it. He rinsed the glass and set it aside, walking back to his room before he paused.

“Shouldn’t you be going home?” He asked Jace, quirking an eyebrow, voice raspy from sleep. It had traces of anger and irritation Jace had observed a lot, but never gotten used to. How could someone always be so angry?

Jace pointed at Amber. William rolled his eyes after noticing she’d fallen asleep, shook his head, muttered a ‘whatever’ and walked back into his room.

Amber hummed in her sleep, stirring at the noises around her. She nuzzled into Jace and sighed through her nose. She didn't wake, which she would have been grateful for if she'd even known what was going on.

When William woke up the next morning, he regretted sleeping in late. Because of his urges, it had been hard to fall asleep, especially without the help of his instruments. Though he didn’t understand why, he didn’t want to disturb Amber. The girl had a rough night.

Shaking his head, William decided to take a shower.

Once he was done and properly dressed, he walked outside and saw his dormmate and her boyfriend curled up on the couch, asleep. He almost snorted out loud.

Cold air reached the patches of bare skin that showed on Amber's previously sleeping form, rousing her from her sleep. She groaned and buried her face into what she thought was her pillow by ended up being harder and more solid. Her face scrunched up in confusion before she pulled away, blinking the sleep from her eyes, and saw what it was she'd been snuggled into.

Jace…

Jace stirred from his sleep, opening his eyes sleepy eyes to stare at Amber. He blinked.

“Good… morning…” he mumbled. He’d fallen asleep at her dorm. With her. For the first time since they’d begun dating.

Amber blinked, a faint, slightly embarrassed blush rising to her cheeks.

"Morning," she breathed, looking down at him. "Um. How'd you sleep?"

Jace day up slowly, stretching. Once he was done, he looked at Amber and noticed her blush. It caused him to blush, too.

“It was good,” he said softly. “You were warm. What about you?”

Amber yawned and sat up as well. She cleared her throat at the comment of her being warm before giving her boyfriend a small smile.

"Very well. You were warm, too… And comfortable," she mused.

Jace cleared his throat awkwardly before standing up. “I’m glad,” he said softly. “I uh… I should head out now, huh?”

"O-oh… Uh. I guess if you want to… Otherwise, um, you could stay for breakfast?" Amber suggested softly.

Jace shook his head. “It’s all right,” he shrugged. “I should get home and properly wash up. Unless, of course, you want me to stay. Which I will do so without hesitation.”

Amber gave him a small smile. "I'd like to have you stay for breakfast, but you don't have to if you'd really rather not."

“Then I’ll stay for breakfast,” Jace responded. “But I uh… I’ll need the bathroom? And do you have mouthwash?”

Amber's smile turned into a grin at his words, and she stood up from the couch. "Great! I'll get started on something while you use the bathroom. It's easy to find; the dole should be open. And you can use whatever mouthwash you find on the left side of the cupboards.

Jace nodded and walked over to the bathroom. Once he was done, he walked outside and was immediately hit with a smell of food.

“Mmmm that smells so good,” he murmured. “Wow, I can tell just by its smell that you are a wonderful chef. How come you never fed me before?”

"You never asked," Amber teased, turning her head to smile at him quickly. "And, anyway, it's just French toast. Nothing fancy."

Jace leaned against the counter, watching her cook.

"I'm looking forward to it," he grinned. "My dormmate, Josh and I cannot cook for our lives so we order take out a lot."

"That doesn't surprise me," Amber chuckled as she flipped a piece of bread on the pan. "Hey, would you mind grabbing a couple of plates from the cupboards and the maple syrup from the fridge?"

Jace did as he was instructed, grabbing plates and the maple syrup from the fridge before he set them on the table. Just as he did so, the front door opened and William stepped inside, looking tired, hair stuck to his forehead. He stared at Jace for a couple of seconds before shaking his head, making his way to his room.

(William: sees Jace in the dorm for the umpteenth time Whatever. I quit.)

Amber, with her back turned to the door, didn't see the look that passed from her dormmate to her boyfriend. She glanced over her shoulder just in time to see William disappear into his room but thought nothing of it, other than wondering for a moment where he had been.

"Okay, food's ready," she declared, sliding one last piece of french toast onto the stack before turning around to set the plate on the table.
