Keagan's smile normalized with Dan's kiss, and it broadened as he pulled her close to him. With a happy sigh, she shifted her position so she could comfortably place her cheek against his chest and listened contentedly to his breathing for a few moments, feeling the inklings of sleepiness settle in her eyes again. It felt wonderful to sit in his arms like this; it made her feel safe and warm...and happy. She was more content in that moment than she had been in a while.

Dan didn't really say anything for the few minutes that passed. His arms wrapped around Keagan Dan finally brought up the subject of time. Or lack, thereof. " Keag? Think we should get on to bed in a bit? " He asked softly, her head still on his chest. His breathing slowed slightly, he closed his eyes for a second or so before popping them open again to look down at Keag.

The fact of the matter was, in the few minutes of silence that had passed, Keagan had fallen into a light sleep already. However, it was light enough that when Dan spoke, she caught every word and was awake enough by the end of his question to reply. Well, sort of anyway. "S'pose so," she muttered, wrinkling her nose at the thought of moving and shifting her head on his chest after speaking, giving the impression she wasn't going to move easily.
She wasn't trying to be difficult, she was just, all of a sudden, very sleepy. And with sleepiness came the desire to stay where you are and never get up. Regardless, in the end she would have to, and would go willingly, if slowly...and if she didn't fall asleep again.

Dan continued to look down at Keagan as she lay on his chest. He turned his head and looked down to her face after she had spoken and noticed her eyes were cloes, making it pretty difficult to get up at all. He loosened one hand from around her and nudged her gently in her side. Just enough to get her awake enough so he could help her up.
" Keag? " He asked softly, trying to wake her up by his voice. When she didn't move Dan decided that after a few minutes if she hadn't moved at all he would have to pick her up or something like that.

Though she didn't move when Dan nudged her, she felt the touch. The same went for hearing him say her name. However, her only reaction was two incoherent mumbles in response to his actions. This did, nonetheless, go to show she was conscious. What to do, what to do.....

" Keagan? " Dan tried once more, his voice louder this time as he spoke. Still not choosing to do much he spoke again, " Come on, time to get up now. " He moved his hand slightly so he was nudging her more towards her stomach than her side, really. Waiting for her to wake up at least halfway was what Dan was goign to have to do.

"Ugh," Keag mumbled when Dan said her name again, then when he continued, she muttered some more. A coherent sentence actually made it out of her mouth, though her eyes were still closed. "Already? But I just went to sleep!" Finally, when he nudged her again, this time closer to her stomach, Keagan shifted away from it. Even in the grasps of sleep, she was still ticklish in that region. "Urgh."

" Er, Keag? You fell asleep on me. " He muttered to her as he tried to sort out some of her mumblings. " Urgh is right, " Dan said with a soft laugh. He shrugged slightly and just stopped trying to get Keagan up. If she wanted to get up she would. Or so he thought. Shifting slightly from her new position Dan sighed slightly.

"Urgh," she said again as Dan shrugged and shifted. Now that she realized she'd have to be heading to her bed soon, she became slightly uncomfortable. It was probably a good thing, because otherwise there was no way she'd ever willingly get up. "You're gonna make me get up, aren't you, Dan," she stated, knowing that even if he didn't make her, she would have to get up to her bed somehow. Afterall, if Dan tried to climb the stairs to the Girls' Dorms, he was in for a nice slide back to ground level.

" Uh huh. " Dan said to her, nodding as he did so. " But only because you'd have fallen back asleep on me. " He told her honestly with a smile. Thinking that they would have had to go to bed soon anyway he just shrugged at the thought. He felt tired but awake at the same time. It was an interesting emotion type thing to feel. Looking back down to Keag Dan waited.

Blinking several times, attempting to wake herself up and get adjusted to the dim light of the common room, Keagan twisted her position so she could look up at Dan, though still not quite ready to move all the way. Squinting, she pouted slightly. "You didn't want me asleep on you, Dan? That hurts!" she exclaimed, but her pout soon turned to a grin as she shifted her head off his chest.

Looking down to Keag as he noticed her now trying to wake up Dan smiled lightly. " Aw, don't be hurt. " He said to her as she looked up to him and tried to pout, only to have it pushed aside by a grin. Leaning forward slightly Dan moved towards Keag and kissed her lightly. " That better? " He asked her.

"Much," Keag answered, smiling. "That old adage must be true. You know, the one about kissing it and making it better?" Laughing quietly, Keag managed to change her position so the weight of her head was rested against the back of the couch versus on Dan's chest. "Somehow, even though I'm tired, I don't want to go to bed. Isn't that strange?"

Dan also smiled, then nodded slightly as Keag spoke. " Depends on how much better you want it to be. " He said with a bit of a mischevious look on his face at the time. As Keag moved her position Dan moved into an easier position. She was still sort of on him but now he was able to look at her more easily when they were talking. " Nah, I know what you mean. I'm tired but... Like you said, I'd rather not go to bed. "

"You can always be better than you are, that's for sure," Keagan replied to his statement and slightly mischievous look. She raised an eyebrow and smiled, almost daring him to go somewhere with it. Dan sounded like he knew what she meant, but she had to test the waters a bit when next she spoke. "'Cept you didn't fall asleep on me, did you?" The question was meant as more of a statement, but it would have sounded accusing if she had worded it as such.
