Suite 518/520, Saturday Morning

[sensethevisions]

Snuggles and cuddles were always a nice way to fall asleep and spend time together. Phoebe was pressed closely between two warm bodies and she wasn't making plans to move anytime soon.

Then, one of the guys started nuzzling her and making happy noises in her ear. He seemed very enthusiastic in his attentions. She turned her head and he started nuzzling her nose and her lips. With a smile she opened her eyes ---

--- only to see a dark skinned man she didn't recognize nuzzling her.

That would be a shriek of fear and surprise coming from Phoebe as she jerked back, slamming into whomever was curled up behind her.

Comments

Bel bolted upright at Phoebe's cry. "Phoebe!" he said, then saw the extra man and woman in the bed. "What the hell . . . who are you? What are you doing here? I'm not your father or something, am I?"

[demonbelthazor]

Valkyrie cracked open one eye and giggled lightly. "No," she said.

[demonbelthazor]

Seraphim grinned and butted his head against Phoebe's leg. "Don't be afraid," he said.

So much for sleeping in. Anders sat bolt upright at the shriek, blinking blearily.

"Afraid of wh -- oh, frakking hell, strange people in the bed again what the frak?!?"

[demonbelthazor]

Valkyrie lazily pushed herself up on all fours and licked Anders's cheek. "Hello, Anders," she said.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"You know my name," he said, looking more than slightly . . . well, WTF-ed was about the only way to describe it. "And you licked my face. Bel? Help?"

[demonbelthazor]

"You've got five seconds to tell me who you are," Bel growled, fire starting to dance on his fingertips. "And what the hell you're doing here."

[demonbelthazor]

Seraphim stretched lazily and wriggled out from the sheets. He was wearing black silk boxers, and Valkyrie had on a short white silk nightgown. "We always sleep here," he said. "Unless you three are mating and you banish us to the living room."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Mating -- I -- oh, gods," Anders spluttered. "You mean you're . . . ow. No. Brain."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel stared at the two intruders. "This can't be happening."

[demonbelthazor]

Valkyrie smiled and looked at Phoebe. "You named me Valkyrie, and him Seraphim," she confirmed.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded, trying to smile as Valkyrie and Seraphim moved closer to her. She looked at Cole.

"The last time I got attached... I don't want to lose them, too."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

That both confused and worried Anders enough to poke his head out from under the covers and move closer to her. He didn't get it, and he wasn't sure he should ask, so he just rested his head against her shoulder, comfortingly.

[demonbelthazor]

"You won't lose us," Valkyrie said. "Even if this change is only temporary, we'll still be here for you." Seraphim nodded in agreement.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded and hugged them both. "That's good to know because I don't want to come close to lose you guys."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Oh . . . I get it," Anders mumbled.

"You know," he said absently, "I never did properly thank you guys for keeping the vodka away from Phoebe when she was little."

[demonbelthazor]

"We watch out for her in more ways than you know," Seraphim said. "For all of you."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked at them. "You always seem to be there to keep an eye on me..."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

". . . all of us?" Anders repeated weakly.

[demonbelthazor]

"You are special to Bright One, so you are special to us," Valkyrie said.

[sensethevisions]

"You look after them because they are important to me?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe leaned close to Cole and pulled Anders close.

"Some humans are more than silly," Phoebe agreed.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"But some of us are cute," Anders declared, nipping lightly at her neck.

[demonbelthazor]

"That's why we keep you around," Bel said finally getting this comment notification right before heading to bed.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe purred at the nipping and then looked up at Cole with a smile. "We keep each other around for more than the cuteness, soulmate."
