"Thank-you." Elide gave her a small smile back before she scurried off.

Phoebe dressed quickly, her mind frustratingly stuck on ELide.

Elide hummed quietly as she changed and headed back to Phoebe's room. The clothes were a little big but she didn't care.

Phoebe slipped her oversized periwinkle hoodie over her head just as Elaine returned, her hair mussed. She refrained from biting her lip as her eyes flickered over her friends form. “Do they fit?”

Elide shrugged, “They’re a little big but it’s fine. Thank-you.” She gave Phoebe a small smiled and flopped down onto the bed.

Phoebe cursed herself when her heart fluttered lightly. The British accent…. the eyes…… dammit. “No problem.”

Elide’s smile grew, “You going to sit or lie down or just stand there staring?” She giggled a little.

A blush immediately rose to Phoebe’s cheeks. “I- uh— do you want to take the bed? I can grab a blanket and sleep on the floor.” She changed the subject quickly.

Elide shook her head, “No, it’s fine. I can take the floor.”

Phoebe shook her head right back. “Uh-uh. You’re my guest, you are not sleeping on the floor. Let me go grab extra blankets.”

“Or…” Elide paused for a moment, “We could just both share the bed? We don’t have to but it’s just a suggestion…” She added quickly before looking down at her lap.

Phoebe’s blush deepened. “Uh— Yeah— sure— good idea.” She swallowed, ducking her head and cautiously sitting down next to Elide. “Tired?”

Elide shrugged, “A little bit. What about you?”

Exhausted. “Same here. Do you want to sleep yet or just turn out the lights and talk?” Phoebe fidgeted slightly.

Elide noticed her fidgeting and took her hands in hers gently, “I’m fine with whatever. And you look really tired.”

Heat rushed to Phoebe’s face. Licking her lips anxiously, her eyes flickered down the their intertwined hands. “I’m fine.”

“No, no your not. You need to sleep.” Elide said softly, her eyes full of worry.

Phoebe shook her head again. “It’s fine, it’s not like I’ll actually fall asleep anyways. How was your day?”

“Phoebe… please. Don’t change the subject on me…” Elide bit her lip.

Phoebe looked down at her lap. “I’m fine, I promise.” The lie came out smoothly, easily. It wasn’t like she could tell Elide everything, that would drive her new friend away. She had do stay quiet.

Elide sighed through her nose and let go of Phoebe’s hands, “We should sleep…”

Phoebe fought back her rising disappointment, pulling away with a fake but convincing smile. “If you’d like.” She pulled back the covers, making sure her back was against the wall so that she didn’t feel tempted to… cuddle.

Elide nodded and slipped under the covers, rolling onto her side and looking up st Phoebe still a little worried, “You sure you’re okay?” She asked quietly, “Sorry I’m being pushy…”

“You’re not, don’t worry. And I’m fine.” Phoebe smiled, lying again. “How are you?” Almost against her will, she shifted imperceptibly closer.

Elide shrugged a shoulder, “Sleepy… you?” She did her best to stifle a yawn.
