If you're awake, move over. I can't sleep.

Neither can I. Come on over. Bring the bot.

[ No answer. Just the sounds from her room that indicate she’s moving. The skittering of their robot down the side of the building and Gwen is knocking at his window. This might be the first time she won’t care how dressed he is. She just wants Harry. And to feel safe and be around something real. ]

[Harry is in boxer shorts and nothing else. He's lying beneath the sheet, bare chest on display. He's honestly not even thinking about his state of undress as she comes in and moves over to his bed. Shadow is right behind her, ever present and always welcome. He is their 'child' after all.

He opens his arms for her in invitation for her to snuggle into the bed with him. The room is dark, but the ambient light from outside is enough to be able to get around easily.]

I'm thinking about going to the mayor lady and asking her to evict Mr. fishbowl.

[ Gwen is in a sports bra and pajama bottoms. Clearly she’s not too fussed over clothing right now either. She just wants her boyfriend. That’s all. Shadow heads to a nearby corner and settles in, makes a show of stretching robotic limbs after turning in a circle. Gwen usually finds this amusing but right at this moment she’s not even looking. She’s settling into bed with Harry, tucking herself under his chin and against his chest as close as possible. ]

I’d be for it. But it’s probably up to the council.

[Harry pulls her close and presses a kiss to her head. He loves her, he's so glad she's here. Now that she is he'll likely sleep. Her skin is warm against his and the breeze from the window is warm and comfortable.]

I love you, Gwen. [His voice is soft, but his tone is genuine and his body is relaxed. He said it intentionally.]

[ The second he says it, she feels herself relax. She feels safe around him and right now, that's what she needs the most. To feel safe. To feel alright. Beck had her relive her worst moment, and that was the hardest thing for her

But Harry says he loves her, and that helps her feel so much better. So she smiles softly, tilts her head up to look at him and says it back, meaning it as much as he does. ]

I love you, too, Harry.

[Harry presses a kiss to her lips and then shifts lightly so they're both at their utmost comfortable. Yeah...he can sleep now.]

We should go out for breakfast in the morning.

[ She's absolutely kissing him back. A couple times. She's in love with this pirate, has been since day one. ]

Where? The saloon? Or grabbing something at Eve's bakery and hanging out at the park?

The Casino is serving a breakfast buffet thing. That Mick guy is opening it up to everyone, not just people playing. So we could go. Eat as much as we wanted.

Sounds like a plan.

[ She curls her arm around his waist, settling with her head under his chin again. She doesn't quite want to sleep. She wants to stay awake for a bit and make plans. ]

Are you sure it's for all ages? It's a casino.

That's what the sign said. I think the dining room is roped off or something.

Okay, then we have a date in the morning.

[ Provided they both sleep. They'd had a terrible day and Gwen was afraid to try to sleep. But at some point, she was going to. ]

[Yeah, he's already mostly asleep now]

Yup. date with you.

[ He might fall asleep first, but Gwen is going to do her best to lie still and not bother him. There's a small part of her that's afraid this is just a dream and he's going to vanish when she does fall asleep so she just lets herself enjoy the feel of his arms around her. That feels pretty real to her, and that's what she focuses on.

Usually, she's the one to wake up first. But when Harry wakes up the next morning, his girlfriend's going to be curled up in a ball under the blanket, snoring softly and clearly passed out. She must have really needed that sleep if she's the last to wake up out of the two of them. ]

[Harry is slow and lazy as he takes in her sleeping form. With the light streaming in through the window he's realizes just how little clothing both of them are wearing. Hopefully neither of the guardians come looking or else they might get the wrong idea.

He rolls slowly over and wraps an arm around her, pressing close and cuddling and just enjoying the calm and relaxed morning.]

[ With him cuddled up against her, Gwen wakes up slowly, a smile on her face. She turns to look over her shoulder at him for a moment and then curls in close. She should probably consider getting up and getting back to her room, but she's happy where she is. She doesn't want to go back to sleep, she's happy with how awake she is. She reaches for his hand and winds her fingers between his, pulling his arm around her waist a bit more and yawning some. ]

Hey, gorgeous. Sleep alright?

Slept better than I have in a few days. you? [He lets her put him where she wants him and remains relaxed and content.]

[ She nods, stretching a bit before curling back into a ball again with a soft sigh. ]

Same. I got to sleep in my favorite place, so I'm pretty at peace with things.

Well, It's fine with me if you wanna sleep here every night.

I know. But I don’t think our guardians would be okay with it.

[ Not that it’s would really stop either of them. ]

No reason to be upset. We don't do anything but sleep and talk.

I know. They’d probably get prickly about it anyway. So. We can split the time. Some nights I’m here. Some nights you’re at Jakes apartment with me.

I am in full support of this.
