Sebastian crouched beside a large box that sat by the TV, carefully lifting the lid to reveal pile upon pile of DVD cases. "Take your pick."

Devon raises her eyebrows as she looked at the dvds. “Wow… Um, what about The First Avenger?”

(lol)

Sebastian glanced over her shoulder at the case in her hands, before smiling and nodding. "Sure, sounds good. I haven't watched it in forever.." He carefully pulled it from her grasp and spent a few minutes trying to get it into the faulty DVD player. "Alright…. Is it just me, or is it really cold in here?"

(I HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THAT.

C U D D L E)

(We're working on it! Patience…)

Devon had moved back to her place on the cough and pulled her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. "It's pretty chilly," she agreed.

(XD)

"I can get us a blanket?" Sebastian's breath caught a little on the word 'us', heavily implying that they would be sharing as a way to subtly ask Devon before he retrieved the blanket.

(We're working on it! Patience…)

(;^;)

Devon looked over at him and blushed, chewing on her lip. She glanced away for a moment before turning back to him and nodding.

"Yeah… A blanket would be nice," she agreed quietly.

A triumphant grin found its way onto Sebastian's face. With a flustered nod, he left the room to fetch the blanket and a few pillows, returning with his arms laden.

Devon chuckled at the amount of things Sebastian was carrying. “Do you think you have enough?” she asked jokingly.

Sebastian made a sarcastic reply which was muffled by the blanket in front of his face. He dumped the whole mess unceremoniously on the couch and plopped down next to Devon, keeping half a foot of distance between them. “Is this a good distance?” he asked, “Or am I too close?”

Devon laughed as he dumped the blankets on the couch, then blushed as he sat down next to her.

“No, it’s fine. It’s not too close,” she assured him, rubbing at her pink cheeks.

Sebastian smiled, relieved, and pulled a blanket over them both. “Tell me if I get too close for comfort, okay?”

“Of course,” Devon said softly, nodding a bit. She curled her legs up on the other side of her, getting comfortable under the blanket.

Sebastian grabbed hold of the remote control to start the movie and burrowed beneath the warm blanket, letting out a contented sigh.

About halfway through the movie, Devon felt her eyelids growing heavy. She wouldn’t give in, though. She would fight against the sleep that wanted to overtake her exhausted body.

Sebastian had somehow found himself with his arm resting on the top part of the couch backing, as if he had it around Devon, except they weren't actually touching. He glanced over at her, smiling softly. "You good?"

Devon smiled back and nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little tired. Don't worry about it, though."

"If you say so.." Sebastian murmured, giving a small nod. "Just so you know—if you're tired, you're more than welcome to lean your head against my shoulder. But only if you want to."

"Oh… All right, thanks," Devon said softly, nodding again. She blinked a few times, wiping the fog from her eyes before she refocused on the movie.

Sebastian followed her example and dragged his gaze back to the TV screen, tugging the blanket farther up his body.
"Anytime."

A few minutes later, Devon had succumbed to sleep, resting her head on Sebastian's shoulder. She looked peaceful with her face and body relaxed more than she would being awake.

Sebastian had carefully put his arm around her, shifting positions to make himself as comfortable as possible while his heart hammered away in his chest. She looked so…. serene, undisturbed.. it was a refreshing sight, though he tried not to look very often, afraid of violating some sort of unspoken code.
