"Not for the rest of my life, though." He added.

She put her hands in her head and groaned. "Okay, for how long then?"

"Two days." He replied with a shrug.

"Five." She squinted at him, hoping he would be intimidated by it. In truth, she just looked cute and kind of stupid

Winter chuckled softly. "Two." He replied.

"Six!" It almost seemed like she was taunting him.

"One." He said calmly, as if bargaining.

"Nooo!" She wailed, acting like a child. "Three!"

"Two." He said, going back up.

"Fine. Two! You start tomorrow." She held out her hand, waiting for him to shake it.

He shook her hand. "Fine." He agreed.

"Good!" She got up using the table for balance. "And if you don't keep your promise then I get to break your hand." Astra had mixed up a pinky promise and a handshake

His eyes widened. "Uhm. What?" He asked.

"You heard me." She threw away her now empty bottle in the trash. "Anyway, I have some bad news for you."

He raised an eyebrow. "And what would that be?" He asked, looking at her.

"You can't go home until morning." She shrugged, and turned around, tripping and falling onto her couch.

"why not?" He asked, watching her with amusement.

"Jchuaantwowkuhwohnahhnigh,"she mumbled into the couch. Realizing her voice was muffled, she turned her head to the side. "You can't walk alone at night. It's dangerous."

"I can handle it." He replied with a shrug. I can't die, so…

"No way." She sat up and glanced at him. "I can't let you out there. You'd get robbed. Or worse, killed."

He chuckled softly. She has no idea. "Really. I'd be fine." He replied.

She laughed. "You say that. And you do look like you could take care of yourself, but I ain't taking that risk."

He sighed. "Fiiiine. Where do I sleep?" He asked.

Her jaw dropped. Did he actually just agree to that? "Uh, you can have the couch," she got up, obviously surprised by his answer. "It's comfier than it looks."

He nodded, plopping down. "Alright." He replied.
