Unseen Love: 3 (Part 2)

Here's part 2! :D. Oh, and this is kinda how I would picture Xavier and Iris (:
"…I am the captain of my soul."
"Wow, that was a great movie", Elliot said, commenting on the movie, "Invictus", that we just saw. Morgan Freeman had just said his last line in the movie.
"Yeah, I really liked it, and I’m glad they got Morgan Freeman, I really like his acting."
We were sitting on the couch he was lying across with his head on a pillow on my lap. I was playing with his hair and Xavier was chilling with Malori in the love seat. He finally talked to her and invited her over to watch the movie with us.

Xavier got up and stretched. "Well, uh I’m gonna go down to the kitchen and get a drink, you guys want something? Malori?"
"Uh, you know, I’ll just go with you" she said getting up and smiling at him. Xavier turned around and faced us.
"You two want anything?"
"Nah, I’m good"
"I’m good, thanks." I watched as he and Malori left the room.
Elliot grunted as he sat up.

"Stayed in the same position for too long?", I laughed. Although, my legs were asleep too, kind of. I got up and stretched and so did he.
"No, I was just fine…" he said standing next to me.
"And you?" I rested my head against his shoulder and closed my eyes. I was actually pretty tired.
"Eh, I’m alright", I yawned.
"You should sleep Iris. You stay up late too much."

"Yeah, but so do you." I said accusingly. I guess he didn’t know what to say to that, or really just didn’t care because he didn’t respond. Instead he gently lifted me up and carried me to my room. He placed me on the bed and lay down next to me. We sat there in silence and I think I actually began to drift off after a while.
When I awoke it was still dark. My head was on Elliot’s chest and I was curled into a ball. He had one arm folded behind his head like a pillow, and the other on my shoulder. I got up and pulled the blankets over him (luckily he’s a heavy sleeper). When I checked the time, it was 3 a.m. "Wow", I thought. My mouth was kind of dry, and for some reason, I was really craving a cookie, so I decided to head down and get a glass of milk with a cookie.

When I got back, I guess Elliot had woken up, because my bathroom light was on. I went and sat on the bed and finished my cookie. He then came out, looking really tired. His lip was slightly pouting as he walked over to the other side of the bed.
"Aw, hurry and get back to sleep", I said. He slightly nodded and got in the bed and lay down. I reached over and was about to switch on my bed side lamp so I could read a bit, when I felt a strong pair of hands pull me down to my pillow. I laughed as Elliot wrapped his arms around my neck and snuggled his head onto my shoulder. "Aw, how cute", I thought.

"Sleep.", he said half awake, half asleep. I sighed and pulled the covers to cover me a bit more. Well, my eyes were kind of starting to burn because I was getting tired again. Besides, it’s no use for me to fight it, I never really like going against Elliot because he is always checking on me and taking care of me, and to be honest, I love it. He’s not too over-protective, and he’s not inconsiderate. He’s just…the best, and I love him for it.

The next morning, I got up and left Elliot to sleep in. I actually had a good sleep, probably because Elliot was there, and I always sleep better when he’s around. Since I was in such a good mood, I decided to start cooking breakfast. I was flipping the pancakes when someone entered the kitchen.
"Mmmm, you gonna cook up the eggs too, or do you want me to do them?" I heard a familiar voice say.
"Sebastian!"
