There was a gasp as Caitlin sat straight up in bed. Not often did a dream rouse the girl into consciousness. Normally she was a very hard sleeper and proved to be difficult to wake even in the morning after a good nights sleep. Sitting up now in the middle of the night cold sweats running all over her body, Caitlin breathed heavily. Her lids fell shut only a split second as she blinked her bright grey eyes, as if determining if this was life or a nightmare. The dream that haunted her slumber that evening was a concoction of her purest terror all balled up together. Rabbits. On Broomsticks. It was the most horrifying sight she could imagine that wasn't something absolutely grotesque. What was worse, that smug ass Easter Bunny was soaring over her head, his cotton candy colored bow tie and pastel vest a sickening compliment to his unnatural lavender eyes. His fluffy little tail seemed to twitch with glee as he hurled beets down on her. Caitlin normally said she didn't like beets (an irrational and flat out lie) and having them thrown at her was worse than eating them. Just as the Easter Bunny was nose-diving down on her, the girl jolted awake.

Now her tank top and shorts clung to her hot skin while she tried to sort out her head. She was in bed. There were no rabbits. Not a soul was here. Shaking her head, Caitlin threw back her covers and stood on half awake legs. Her bare and bony feet made a pattering noise on the cold stone floor as she very quickly made her way out of the girl's dorms. The world as well as her actions had hardly become entirely coherent to the girl, but her instincts were guiding her to her safety. Crawling first out the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room, and then making her way up the stairs one by one, Caitlin began her journey to the comfortingly familiar tower. Her eyes still burned as the riddle nearly stumped her.

"I run over fields and woods all day. Under the bed at night I sit not alone. My tongue hangs out, up and to the rear, awaiting to be filled in the morning. What am I?"

"Ehh..umm..Oh Bullocks...Uhhh.. Oh! It's a bloody sneaker! Lemmy in!"

She'd forgotten sneakers herself, as well as a jacket and was chilled to the bone now; her teeth chattering in the silence of the Ravenclaw dorms. The riddle had made this now painfully aware as she wiggled her icicle like toes and wrapped her cold arms around herself making her way to the year 6 boy's dorms. Everything was silent and still. It was about five in the morning and most of everyone would sleep for another five hours considering it was now Saturday morning. However, for one lucky boy this was not going to be the case. Cait crossed quickly to Eddie's bed where she found him tangled in all the bed sheets, legs going in different directions while his arms cradled a pillow to him tightly. His mouth hung open as he drooled peacefully in his slumber.

It almost felt wrong of her to wake him at this point. He looked so content. She, on the other hand, was not. Cait was cold, half awake, and still very shaken from her awful dream. Stretching her leg out, Cait kicked him lightly on the posterior. "Eddie...pssstt...Eeeeddds.." She whined his name watching for his soft eyelashes to flutter open. Finally she managed to wiggle her icy cold foot under the blanket and between his warm thighs in an attempt to shock him awake. "Eddie.. wake up. I need you!

After a long night of studying for a final, Benji had called it an early night, forcing Ed to turn the lights off and try to get some shuteye himself. After the necessary time it takes to get arthimancy factors and equations out of one’s head, Ed was eventually able to close his eyes without seeing numbers and symbols. Only then was he able to fall to sleep, and still, it did not come as easy as it should have.

Making the switch back to sleeping alone, after having spent somewhere near a month fighting for supremacy with his lovely bedtime warrior, had not been easy for young Eddie Muler. Of course, it had been nice to finally get control of his bed and have the ample room to kick out his growing legs, but that small victory paled in comparison to the warmth from the body that used to lie next to him. Winter in the UK was freezing. He hadn’t really noticed it till his only source of heat at night had left him. And maybe he didn’t miss the missing sheets or the occasional fist to the face, but her lack of presence seemed to have done something to him, seeing that, as of late, he had taken to cuddling pillows.

Eddie was lost to the world when Cait managed to sneak her way into his dorm. He kicks did nothing to rouse him at all, only making him squeeze his pillow tighter. Snoring lightly, drool on his chin, he would have slept till morning, peacefully, without waking once, had a frozen foot not found its way under his blankets and into his personal space.

“JESUS FUCKIN-” The boy hissed, jumping around in his bed to see what the hell was going on, his body tense and alert. His face and body immediately relaxed once he saw the poor, cold girl standing beside him. “Cait??” He hissed the whisper, getting up and adjusting his pajamas so they weren’t strangling him so tightly. Normally the boy hated to sleep in a full set of nighttime clothing because of the way it would always end up choking out his body, but in the winter, exposed skin wasn't an option. “Jesus!! I thought a snake had found it’s way into my bed!” he laughed nervously, wiping the drool off his face. Though she had seen him like this many times before, his sleep addled brain was very self conscious about how gross he must look at this moment.

He ran a hand over his mess of tangled hair and cleared his dry throat before making room for the girl in his bed. “What the hell are you doing up here? What time is it??” he looked over at his alarm clock to answer that one. Just after five in the morning. Seemed like a strange hour to attack a sleeping friend. He would have been okay with nine... or possibly even eight, but five was just too... early. It was like being back on the base. He rubbed his face and eyes, unsure if she wanted him awake for something, or if she had just come to steal his blankets once more. He was fine with either. He missed her. He wouldn’t tell her, but he had been dreaming of her, though.

“How’d you get in here? I thought you were no good at riddles? Is something wrong?"

"Nah, I'm jest fine at riddles. Even in tha middle o' tha night, apparently." Cait shivered a little as her eyes blinked trying to get them awake. "I'm cold."Sniffing, the girl curled into the bed quickly and snuggled her mostly frozen little body up to him. This felt so much better to her. Back in his arms in the Ravenclaw tower where she felt the safest, was the only place she wanted to be.

As Cait nuzzled her nose into his chest, the girl breathed him in deeply."I had a nightmare." As her eyes adjusted to the idea that she was awake, Cait sighed and looked around the room of other sleeping boys. The sight was not unfamiliar and partially eased the girl as her body shivered against Eddie's. Nightmares weren't common for Caitlin and as a child the girl was accustomed to crawling into the bed of one of her brothers. Now, though she had a brother in this same house, Caitlin wanted only one person's comfort. Eddie's. Though everything was still in the baby stages of a relationship, Cait felt very close and very attached to the boy. And not only as a lover, but also as a friend. He'd stepped up to take care of her and she appreciated that more than he could ever understand. Yet it was the little things he did that mattered most to Caitlin.

You just never could un-see your boyfriend sporting your bra. Though the morning was not her favorite time of day to say the least, that particular morning in Italy had been more than worth it. Standing at her mirror topless had been Edwin Muler himself. Gazing at his not so curvy frame, checking himself out wearing one of Caitlin's bras. The discussion that followed was far from dull. Eddie had a way of making Cait laugh harder than anyone in the world, and she loved him for it.

"I...I missed ya an' I jest wanted ya ta do tha' thing...Tha' thing where e'ery thing is fine again. Like when ya fix it.. by being Eddie...." It was likely that only half made sense but she hoped he got the gist of it. Laying there again her stomach growled lightly. How she was hungry so early is beyond science, but Caitlin was almost always hungry, and she was certainly not tired anymore.

"I'm cold."

Those two words, said so quietly and so pathetically turned Eddie into mush, and had him throwing back the covers to offer his space to her. Of course, he neglected to consider what a cold girl pressed against his warm body would do to him. Specifically, it sent him into shock. He made a rather high pitched whimper as her cold hands snaked up under his shirt and, like hopping into cold water, made the instinctive movement to pull back. She was clutched on tightly though- for good reason, he'd admit- and all he could do was throw his three blankets over their shoulders and shiver till they both evened out in temperature. This last bit took an excruciating amount of time.

As his muscles began to relax once more, Eddie sighed, pulling the girl in tight to his chest. This felt good. This was right again. He had been unsure about starting up a relationship here encase his dad moved again and he would have to start fresh somewhere different. He was afraid of having to break up with a girl because of long distance. He was afraid of starting a relationship and getting hurt like last time. In the end, all of that would just have to be something else he had to deal with, because Cait and him had happened. Like a shooting star pulled into the orbit of a red sun, the two had been destined to collide, and no outer force could do anything to stop it. Ed just hopped that the resulting explosion happened in a blast of lights and colours that spanned millennia, and not just molten hot death.

"You had a nightmare?" he asked quietly, rubbing her back to both warm her up, and ease her mind. the idea seemed strange to him. Since he had met the scrappy little Irish girl, she hadn't seemed to be afraid of anything. Of course, she had her moments of weakness, like any mortal would, so it wasn't fair for him to think she was unshakeable. He did wonder what a girl like Cait had nightmares about though.

"I...I missed ya an' I jest wanted ya ta do tha' thing...Tha' thing where e'ery thing is fine again. Like when ya fix it.. by being Eddie...." The girl whispered half coherently into his chest. Somehow, it all made sense to Ed though.

"Come on darling," he sifted lower in the blankets so they were both snuggled in tight, and sang their song softly in his sleep roughed voice, "Let's go back to sleep. Let the world spin outside our door, you're the only one that I wanna see.

[/b]" He leaned his head back to brush his fingers through her dark hair, "Tell the profs your sick- hurry, get back in, I'm getting cold. Get over here and warm my hands up girl, it's you they love to hold..."

Eddie leaned in and pressed a warm kiss to Cait's wispy locks, "You wanna talk about it?" He asked, unassumingly.

Everything about Eddie Muler made Cait feel isolated from the rest of the world. She lived in her own happy little reality most of the time all by herself, but adding Eddie to it felt like having a technicolor canvas and splattering it with rainbow paint. Maybe even some glitter sprinkles. And those crafty googly eyes. Frankly, Cait liked it that way They could live in their own world under the covers of his bed. As she wiggled into his blankets, she quietly speculated that her world might be something similar to being in a unicorn's intestines. She continued to imagine this little realm while they laid in silence reheating their bodies.

"You had a nightmare"

"Yeah..." It wasn't often she had nightmares. More frequently did she wake up thinking she'd eaten something weird, or smoked too much. Her dreams were often twisted and weird and felt like acid trips. Not that she'd ever really done acid. Recalling this nightmare, however irrational it might have seemed to anyone else, Cait nuzzled her little button nose into Eddie's chest. It wasn't scary to anyone else that she knew, but her fear of rabbits, especially the Easter Bunny, was a very real terror for her. Cait had spent plenty of days trapped inside when the little bunnies came out to play. Once she even refused to come down from the hay loft because she thought she had seen a rabbit come hopping into the barn before hiding behind the harvesting tools. Kellin had to go on a rabbit killing spree to get her down.

"Come on Darling..."

That was all she needed to hear. This little song they'd made up was the best medicine for her. It made everything better and alright the second it left his soft lips. With a smile she hugged him tighter, breathing in the soft scent of his shirt.

"You wanna talk about it?"

She didn't really know. Cait had never vocalized her fear of rabbits to Eddie. Or at least she didn't remember if she did. Many things had come up about their personal lives, but she couldn't recall if this had. "Well... It's kinda embarrassin' 'cause it might not seem like a nightmare ta anyone else. It's kinda an irrational fear thing..." Her half closed grey eyes looked up at him as if to gauge his face, questioning if she should tell him about what happened, or if he might laugh at her. Of course she could see why it's funny, she just hoped he would see why it might be scary.

A coy smirk had begun to twist over Eddie Muler's lips as his girl began to explain herself. He was ready to laugh at whatever it was she was going to say, sure that it was hilarious, like most nightmares were. The smile dropped of completely when she admitted that the subject of the nightmare had been something very difficult for her to express, an irrational fear even. Eddie gave a slow nod in understanding and braced himself to be serious in whatever was coming his way. Irrational fears, a silly as they seemed to some, where nothing to joke about. Ed had a few of his own, once upon a time.

"I promise I wont laugh, Cait." he said soft, leaning up on his elbows to keep his head off the pillow. Eddie was a hard sleeper, and if his head spent any amount of time on a pillow, he would conk out for the rest of the night. While he was leaning over her, he took his time to take the many blankets and tuck them tightly under her. He could only warm one side of her, so he needed to make sure no cold air was seeping in on the other.

"I used to be afraid of spiders." he admitted to the girl as he worked at keeping her cozy. "I kept having dreams about them capturing me, rollin' me up and eatin' me.... Don't know why, but they kept happening for years. That's why I got Matilda." he smiled at Cait as he lower himself back down and adjusted his own side of the blankets.

"Emily thought maybe me taking care of a spider might make me understand them and not be afraid anymore... So she went out and bought the biggest, hairiest one she could find!" he laughed at how cruel the memory was. "At first it was probably the meanest thing that woman had ever done to me! But, it worked." he shrugged, rolling on to his belly and propping his head up with his fists, "I don't fear spiders anymore... Just crazy French ladies!"

"Sooooo.... What's your big fear then?" he gave her a sympathetic smile of confidence, "I promise not to laugh! It can't be that bad...

"Rabbits..." Her bright grey eyes were dull in the early morning dimness. She tried not to look at him, but her curiosity over what he might think got the better of her. "The Easter Bunny especially."

He didn't really seem to be the kind to laugh at her. Maybe someone else, but not her, his girlfriend. Not with his own personal fears. "Though, I really dunno tha' gettin' a pet will exactly help me. I mean...I can't really have a pet Easter Bunny, and I won't go near rabbits," she shuddered and sighed, brushing hair out of her face. Cait couldn't imagine trying to care for an animal with teeth like that. Everyone knew what rabbits ate, but Cait speculated that aside from carrots and cabbage, they also liked fingers and toes and human flesh.

"But see Matilda is a soft and fuzzy sweetheart! She's adorable and hairy. It's easy ta learn ta love her!" Cait was actually very fond of Matilda, and wasn't scared of her at all. "Not rabbits though. Rabbits are all buck teeth and sharp claws...and I bet they stink. And there is no way their fur is as heavenly soft as they say it is. I just don't think it's possible! And they hop!!"

Cait sighed and nuzzled her nose into him a bit more. "In me dream the Easter Bunny was flying 'round on a broomstick and he was pelting me with beets. That's three things I don't like. So when I woke up, I was too scared ta go back ta sleep. Especially not in me own bed by me self. I'm sorry I woke ya up. I just needed ya." Truth was, Cait had a horrible time trying to sleep without him. She was realizing quickly how much she depended on him. Honestly, it terrified her.

"Rabbits." he repeated, trying to make sure he understood what was going on here. His face flinched, but besides that, he made no indication of the fact that he was rolling around laughing in his mind. Eddie respected Cait, and would never want to hurt her in anyway, but being afraid of bunnies was probably the funniest fear he had heard of before. He tried to remind himself there was probably some sort of traumatic experience linked to all this, but it just wasn't quite sticking, hopefully, just because he was tired.

"See, everything you're saying right there is what I would say about rabbits... not tarantulas." He chuckled slightly, but quickly pulled her into his chest, giving her back a rub, "But whatever, if you're afraid of them, you're afraid of them. Not much you can do about that. I am going to expect an explanation on how this whole thing started though, eventually." he smiled at her and kissed her forehead with his warm lips.

Eddie listened intently to the girl's nightmare, nodding his head gently as she spoke. Once he was sure she was finished, he said softly, "Okay, well, I could see how that could be scary to anyone... did he have pink fur and some sort of horrible pastel vest? With, like, eggs on it and stuff?" though he kept rationalizing the fear and had a hard time understanding, he had no time empathizing with the girl and getting a good feel for how scared she might have been. "Well, whatever it was, I'm glad you came up here! I like being able to comfort you when you're scared. It makes me feel tough.

"And besides..." He lowered his voice, hearing a snore from Benji that might have indicated that the boy was having a hard time staying in REM sleep. His cold fingers slipped down under the covers, linking themselves with her own fingers, and his blue eyes caught her in the little bit of light coming from the dark early morning sky out the window, "I kinda miss you up here." He hand was dragged up out of the covers for a quick kiss to the back of it, before he hid them both under the blankets again to stay warm, "I have no problem with you coming up here when ever you want- if it means I get to hold you, that is."

With that, and a chuckles, he rolled himself playfully over her, smothering her in his arms and burying his face into her neck, mostly to warm his cold nose.

"Just for the record though, Rabbits are CRAZY soft, their claws aren't too bad- it's their teeth you really gotta look out for- but they do stink, and they poo, like, non stop. OH! And they chew EVERYTHING! Nothing is safe! Chair legs, bed sheets, power chords, all done for! But at least they're not venomous...." he looked back at all the terrariums on the corner dressers of the room longingly. "Or have eight legs... and ba-jillion beady eyes..." He tried not to shiver all over... but he did, and he laughed.

Eddie Muler meant the world to her. Maybe even more than that. Though, he wasn't making her like rabbits with all his talk of them pooping and chewing, she adored listening to him talk. It took everything in her not to giggle loudly as he laid on top of her, smothering her with his body. If it were anyone else, she might not enjoy this so much. But any chance to be as close to Eddie as physically possible was nothing to scoff at in her opinion. Cait's arms looped around him and she clasped her fingers together to lock him in place.

"I'd take a venom spewin' eight legged spider with a bajillion eyes over a cotton tailed carrot murderer any day." She laughed and cringed lightly at the feeling of his cold nose before relaxing again. Once he was near enough, Cait turned her hear, hair static-clinging to the pillow, and began to kiss the poor boy's face. Whatever she could reach, her lips found, all the while giggling quietly.

Eddie had successfully gotten rid of all her fears for the moment. "I do like this holdin' me business though. I missed ya. Sleepin' in tha basements not what it used ta be. Sure it's loads warmer and has lots of cozy blankets, but I'd rather be up 'ere with you!" The girl grinned, kissing his cheeks again, drinking in his affection.

ooc: It's short I know... For the first time in my life I have no Cait muse! I think I need a doctor.

"She doesn't spew venom, thank god," the boy shuttered honestly, "Actually, she hardly bites... just sheds barbed hairs... I'll have to show you one day." he laughed quietly into her neck and sighed, closing his eyes.

He was glad she was back. It was strange. When they started going out, he was afraid that having a girl in his life again would ruin things. He had gotten used to having all his time to himself to do whatever he wanted. He knew girls were messy, and complicated. They caused fights, and took up resources, and demanded attention, and split up friend groups. though he had been excited to finally find someone willing of loving him, he had been terrified of how she was going to change his life. The weird part about it all was how she didn't. Cait slipped into his life seamlessly, like she had always been there. He didn't have to worry about making time for her, because she was there sharing time with him. He didn't have to 'give up' food or objects for her because he found himself just genuinely wanting her to have them. He had even shared his bed with her, and even though it sometimes resulted in him waking up with a fat lip of a pain in his side, he had enjoyed it.

Not having her in his room anymore, even though she was just a twenty minute walk away, was almost depressing.

Eddie purred happily at the affection she doted upon him and wiggled in closer, rolling them both onto their sides so he didn't feel like he was crushing her. "Well, you know, you can always move back up here. I doubt the boys minds very much. They kinda just expect to see you up here now, so..." he groaned and stretched a little, sneaking a kiss on the corner of her lips before laying back and letting her worship his face.

"And if you bring up enough blankets, we could make an awesome fort." He laughed, letting on of his hands stroke her hair gently, trying to pull through the tangled mess. "I'm not opposed to more warm blankets! Lord knows we need them up here!"

He chuckled and moved forward, leaning his head down over hers, planting a warm, heavy kiss on her lips, "Cait... I love you.... thanks for coming back. I was starting to miss you."

Every second with Eddie felt like a lifetime of happiness. Rolling around in the sheets made her world ten times brighter than it had been earlier. With Eddie, Caitlin always had a sense of security and purpose. She was so set in her world and so comfortable, nothing ever worried her. She had Eddie and nothing could ever break them apart. Of course, she had no idea how close she was to him leaving her forever. She had no idea his father was going back to America and that he was intended to accompany him. Caitlin would be devastated if the fait turned its back on them for the first time.

”A blanket fort! Yes!! And in Hufflepuff we have these little things that you put in the bed ta warm up tha covers. These like… copper pot things. They’re amazin’.” The girl giggled as she laid with him. Everything seemed so surreal and calm. Like the world outside the door didn’t matter and she could lay here in this bed with him for the rest of her life and everything would be just fine. As her lips found his softly she smiled a genuine sweet little smile. Not the kind that came with a giggle or a nose wrinkle. Not the kind that followed a joke or came with a snort. This was the kind of smile that melted hearts and imprinted into memories.

”I love you so much.” It was the kind of smile that spoke from the core of her soul.

Sitting up quickly she rolled him onto his back and sat on top of him, her hands on his chest. The smile had already changed as quickly as it had come and now she looked at him playfully. There was however, that small glimmer of absolute undying love lingering in the corners of her eyes and at the edges of her smile. Nothing could ever get rid of that.

”Let’s do it. Let’s build a fort, get breakfast. I mean.. the whole breakfast. Eggs, toast, fruit, juice, bacon, sausages, ham, potatoes, biscuits.” Her face lit up with excitement and she nodded at him. ”We’ll bring it all back and lay in the fort together and eat until we burst and we can just lay here together. Forget the rest of the world. Just… be. For a little while. We can play guitar and I’ll straighten your hair or do something crazy to it for a day and we can just… laugh.”
