"Mmmm, thank you," Arianna repeated the words again, this time in a soft mutter. She shifted slightly to get a bit more comfortable, lifting her hand to rest on his chest. Perhaps if she had been more awake, Arianna would have been a little self-conscious of her actions. Of course, if she was more awake, she probably wouldn't be laying her head on the boy's chest now.

Kian's pulse sped up slightly as Arianna shifted and in a blink of an eye or so it seemed to him he now found her weight more heavily against himself and one of her hands upon his chest. He couldn't say he didn't like how it felt but at the same time it brough conflicting reactions in him at the same time. It'd been a long time since he'd found himself in such a situation and wasn't to sure how to respond to it. He didn't want to wake her too much since he knew she could use the rest and couldn't help but smile slightly since it seemed she felt safe enough with him, trusted him enough to allow herself to just drift.
"Arianna," he said softly bending down slightly so she'd hear him. He took the hand that rested upon his chest and laid a gentle kiss in her palm as he watched her, "Do you prefer to go by another name?" Kian wasn't sure if she could hear him but hopefully the sensation of his gentle almost chaste kiss would stir her just a bit to answer. "Would you prefer a pillow?"

"Mum and dad call me Anna," Arianna sighed. She had felt the kiss and enjoyed the tingles that it sent through her body. Indeed, it was enough to stir her, but only slightly. Arianna was already drifting back into sleep, barely noting what Kian was asking.
"Pillow..." she repeated in the same soft sigh. "Yes....This is just fine...Comfy..."

"Anna's a nice name," Kian said softly though he doubted very much that at this point she could still hear him but perhaps she could. He began to absentmindedly stroke her hair softy, running his fingers through it as he looked down at her. He couldn't help chuckling softy when she'd said he were comfy, "Well that's nice to know," he replied with a slight smile as he watched her. He didn't really want to move because what if he did and she woke up. He didn't want to see that look on her face again maybe this way she'd finally be able to rest find some peace in slumber.

Of course, by this time Arianna couldn't answer. She had fallen completely to sleep and, amazingly, was having a pleasant dream. It might last or it might not. One could never know. But Arianna's worries had calmed by now, making it far easier to sleep. Otherwise she would not have slept at all tonight.
As she drifted further into sleep, the girl's body relaxed more, her head drooping further down toward Kian's lap. Perhaps she should have laid down and rest her head on his leg instead of on his chest. XP

Kian couldn't help stiffening slightly as she began to make her slow progress down toward his lap while she slept. First thing that came to mind was that their current position might not look right if anyone walked in at that moment. In the next the relization dawned on him that no one would be walking in on them like this or could because they were alone in the Room of Requirements. His body slowly relaxed one muscle at a time as he watched her.
He didn't want her to suddenly wake up and be upset or embarassed about how she'd fallen asleep so he decided to try to wake her. "Anna," Kian said softly trying out the name her parents called her by as he slowly ran one of his hands down her cheek to rouse her but not startle her.

It was hard to wake, but Arianna heard her name and the soft touch of Kian's hand on her cheek. It took her a long moment, but she finally forced her eyes open a crack and turned her head up to him to see what was wrong.
"Yeah?" she asked, hardly even fazed by her position. Arianna did realize, though, that Kian might not be comfortable with her like this. "I...guess I should get in bed." she commented, lifting a hand to rub the sleep from her eyes.

"No." Kian replied automaticlly at her response once she'd woken. "What i meant was... Well I wasn't sure how you'd take waking up on me," he tried to explain to her what he'd meant but wasn't sure if he was making very much sense. "I didn't want you to be embarrased or anything," he added with a slight smile as he looked at her. "I didn't mind," Kian said just to let her know and then added shortly after, "If you want to get in bed then okay. It might be more comfortable then me."

Arianna smiled sheepishly at Kian. She didn't think she'd be embarrassed. At least, not when they were fully dressed...
"Well, I'm fine here," she replied, more fully awake now. She sat up, though, and shook her head to wake herself more before turning a offering a softer smile. "It might be more comfortable for YOU, though, if I sleep in the bed and not on you."

"You don't want to sleep in the bed," he asked slight suprise clear on his face and in the tone of his voice. He'd thought she might be more comfortable in a bed with a pillow and blankets then on the couch, on him. Kian couldn't help but laugh softly on the emphasis she had made on him, "Actually I didn't really mind you sleeping on me. I just wasn't sure how you'd take it once you were awake," he replied a smile upon his face.

Arianna thought about it for a moment, then shook her head. She didn't know why Kian thought she might not like waking up sleeping on him. Of course, once she had built any sort of relationship with someone, Arianna was comfortable with almost anything. As long as they were fine with it, of course.
"I think I'd be fine with it," she replied, though at that moment a thought came to mind. "That...wouldn't break our 'going slow' promise, would it? Because I'm really not used to....any of this. I...my first boyfriend was the one enforcing it and...well, my second one...No going slow there...i mean...we didn't do anything, but...."
Airanna stopped herself there, feeling herself blush slightly. There were some things she regretted about that second boyfriend, but it was all a learning experience for her and she would be sure not to make the same mistakes again.

A soft smile came to his lips at her slightly hesitant words as if she were unsure. "No I don't think that this would break our promise to each other. If anything I thought we should for you. I'm not going to push because your not sure and in a way I guess its for me too," he replied is expresion trasforming into one of thoughtfulness. When everything was said and done he didn't want to end up the injured party here at least if they took things a step at a time maybe Anna would have time to figure out what she wanted, who she wanted.
He'd understood what she'd been unable to say especially after the slight blush he glimpsed upon her cheeks, "It's okay you don't have to explain. I understand." Kian decided to change their conversation only slightly since he could tell that that last part about her second boyfriend still made her feel slightly ashamed. "So this? All this is something new to you?" he asked to clarify they were on the same track as far as what she was trying to relay to him.

"Yeah," Arianna replied with a crooked smile. When she looked back on her other relationships, she also realized that it was the guy who made all the first moves. She really hadn't done anything. Now it seemed she had to do something if she found herself liking someone. Otherwise nothing would happen. She also felt that maybe she had to have some sort of control over it....which didn't sit well with her when she had no clue what to do. "I mean...every other time, it just...happened. I didn't have to think about whether or not it would... I guess I just want to know before hand if we're on the same page so I don't....get hurt."

Kian listened to her in silence letting her get out whatever she needed to tell him. He understood for the most part. You never quite knew what would happen when it came to falling for someone or even in love with someone. Sure everyone would like to protect themselves from that type of pain but it isn't always possible. The most someone can do is try to give it direction, create an understanding between the parties involved. He didn't know where this would lead to and he still wasn't sure what this was.
He knew everything could change in a split second much of his young childhood had been made up of a series of unexpected events he'd learned to live with over the years. "You know I don't want to get hurt either. But I think any way we want to slice it we'll all get hurt. It's just a matter of how much," Kian said with the barest of smiles. "But yes I understand. Like I said we'll just take things as they come. Allright?" he said with a soft smile as he looked at her. He wouldn't hold anything against her especially now that they'd made an understanding between the two of them.

"Yeah, I know. Pain is just a part of life," Arianna wished it wasn't so, but then she wouldn't be who she was if she hadn't gone through those painful times. Who knows what kind of a person she would be if everything in her life was all fine and dandy. Well, she wouldn't be at Hogwarts, for sure. "Though I suppose I just want to be as honest as possible in all my relationships. I don't want someone to think I want things to go in a certain direction and then get mad at me when it comes out that I want something else. But, yeah...we'll figure this out. I'll figure this out..eventually."
