Way Early Tuesday Morning; 518/520

They had all been too tired to really talk much after Cole brought them back to the dorms from where they had tracked her down at Selkie Cove. So after getting in, they had pretty much collapsed in the aftermath of an emotionally intense day.

However, Phoebe couldn't sleep, and so, when she was almost positive the guys were sleeping, she had slipped from the bed and left the room.

She paced a little bit, and then she had curled up on the couch with her notebook for her workshop on Thursday.

However, she was spending more time staring down at the floor than reading.

Comments

"I haven't?" Cole said. "Huh, I don't know why. Maybe the cats reminded me."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nodded. "Yeah, it's the first time you've caled me that in a long time. I like hearing that from you."

[demonbelthazor]

Cole chuckled softly. "I didn't realize. I guess that's one of the things you need to tell me. I'm still new at this being human thing."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe smiled. "I guess I keep forgetting that I need to tell you some things. I don't ever see you as demon or human... I see you as Cole, so sometimes I forget that there are things you need to hear, too."

[demonbelthazor]

Cole hung his head a little and looked up at her. "Do you love me even if I'm dumb?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe lay her hand against his cheek. "You are not dumb and nothing will ever make me stop loving you."

[demonbelthazor]

"Just be patient with me," Cole said, putting his hand over hers. "I'll figure it out eventually."

[sensethevisions]

"Of course, love." Phoebe kissed him gently. "I'll also try to talk to you more about what I need or what I'm thinking..."

[demonbelthazor]

"Me too," Cole agreed, kissing her back then pressing his forehead against hers.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe smiled and then blushed. "Things like... you don't always have to handle me so gently when we're doing stuff?"

[demonbelthazor]

Blink.

"What do you mean?" Cole said, confused.

The boy was awfully slow sometimes.
