“You haven’t slept in a week, of course you’re tired.” Cass countered, pulling the blankets over him.
“Talk’s cheap, Xander. You taught me that.” She turned off the lights and sat back down on the bed, waiting for him to fall asleep.

"I... don't.... want to..." Xander propped himself up on one elbow, will power the only thing keeping him awake

“Why?” Cassie sighed. He was tired and they both knew it. So why wouldn’t he just go to sleep?
“What do I have to do to get you to sleep?”

"Lay down with me." xander said softly, an almst deadly tone in his voice. "I wont do anything. Promise." he blinked, and almost as an after though. "Well, anything weird. Anything TOO weird."

Cassie sighed and took off her shoes, sliding in between the sheets without a word. If he did try anything she could leave but right then she was ready to try just about anything to get him to sleep.
“Happy?” She watched him closely. “Now go to sleep.”

"Shhh...." Xander soothed, snuggling up against her, one arm draped over her shoulder. "See? Now we're both warm and comfy, and I'll shut up and sleep. Okay?" he tilted his head at her charmingly

“Sure.” Cassie muttered. He was warm and comfy. She was hot and, while she knew Xander well enough to not be freaked out by being this close, it was more than a little awkward knowing that Carrie was in the next room. But she could deal with it if it got him alseep.

Cass stayed perfectly still for the better part of an hour and she must have fallen asleep a few times because the clock kept skipping numbers. But her patience had reached its limit. Besides, he was already asleep. He wouldn’t miss her.
This decided, Cassandra moved his arm, careful not to wake him up. She rolled out of bed and put a pillow where she’d been sleeping and draped his arm over it. She watched him for a few moments and then headed towards the kitchen to get a beer.

Carrie was slumped on the couch, asleep, with about three empty beer bottles on the table in front of her, none of which had been there before, and one in her left hand which was hanging off the edge of the couch. She was clutching a pillow with to her chest with her other arm, holding onto it as if it'd get up and run awya if she loosened her grip in the least.

Xander woke with a start as soon as Cassie was out of the room, his head snapping around as he looked for her. Where had she gone?
Maybe.... maybe the bathroom, he though. But after a few mintues of waiting, he realized that wasn't it. Maybe she was getting a drink, or-or sleepwalking.
Going over that though a few times, he jerked slightly, biting his lip. She could get hurt or something. Where had she gone?

Cassandra sighed and chugged the beer before poking her head into the living room. Carrie was asleep, time to check on Xander. She cracked open the door and glanced in.
“Xander?” She whispered, taking another sip from the half empty bottle.

"Cassie." Xander's face split into a wide grin. "Where'd you go off to? Are you okay?"

“The kitchen,” Cass raised an eyebrow at him. “No, I’m not. A bunch of Hunters set up an ambush for me in the kitchen. I barely escaped with my life.”

Xander sighed and flopepd back on the bed, covering his face with a pillow. "Don't screw with me right now, Cass.....I asked you to stay here with me."

“Xander, I was like a maximum of fifteen feet away from you. It’s not like I left the house.” Cass sighed dramatically and sat next to him, lifting the pillow just enough to peek at him.

"You act like there's any way I could have know that..." Xander grumbled, trying to glare at her. It wasn't working.

“You have two working legs and a voice, you had plenty ways to find out if I was still in the house.” Cass laughed, dropping the pillow back on his face. “You’re just lazy.”

"I just f**k**g woke up." Xander grumbled, tossing the pillow and watching her. "Did there happen to be any Jack's in that kitchen?"
