Sanctuary - Four Drabbles for liliofthevaley
“Ow!”
Kate drowsily opened her eyes at the pained exclamation. Resisting the urge to toss her pillow at the offender, she lifted her head from the pillow to see Henry attempting to navigate her room in the twilight of the morning.
“Henry, what on earth are you doing up at this ungodly hour?” She glanced at the alarm clock on her bedside table and groaned. It happened to be just past six in the morning.
“I, uh, was trying to find my shoe. But your chair attached me.” He gestured at her desk chair indignantly, and despite her inherent grumpiness at this time of the day, she smiled at his antics.
“And why the rush to leave?” She scooted forward and smiled flirtatiously at him, twirling a strand of hair around her finger. He grinned and eased himself onto the bed next to her.
“I thought you should get as much sleep as you could…considering how little you got last night…” He leaned forward, his hand inching across the down comforter towards her. Grinning wickedly, she snagged his hand long before it reached her and pulled him towards her.
“Sleep,” she whispered, “is overrated.” And he returned the smile before their lips collided and both were lost in the fluffy comforter, realizing sleep was indeed very overrated.

“Thought I’d find you down here.”
Kate turned to find Henry standing just inside the door. She nodded mutely at him and turned back to the glass. On the other side, was Ralphie. Somehow he’d gotten out and gotten himself into trouble, cutting himself on some lab tech before getting safely returned to his room. Now he was sleeping, but she couldn’t help but feel like she’d let him down by not being with him all the time and making sure he didn’t get hurt. It was ridiculous, and she knew it, but she still couldn’t shake it. So she was standing down here with him, making sure nothing happened to him.
Suddenly Henry was standing next to her. She smiled weakly at him, and he returned it.
“Hey, it’s not your fault,” he said, bumping her shoulder gently. She shook her head, holding back tears.
“I shoulda made sure he couldn’t get out.”
“Maybe. But you can’t change the past.” He drifted behind her a bit, laying his hands gently on her shoulders. “C’mon. Ashley made some cookies with Will, and apparently a handful actually survived the process.” Kate laughed lightly at that. “It’ll all still be here when you come back,” he whispered in her ear from behind, gently massaging her shoulders.
She sighed and leaned into him, wondering for a moment when she let began letting him do this to her. It might have been when she realized his massages felt like heaven.
“Okay,” she said quietly, and barely noticed that his hand slipped around her waist as they turned and headed back upstairs, to the promise of cookies and family.

“How could you have not had a toy bow and arrows as a kid!?” Henry shrugged and turned back to his computer. Kate rolled her eyes. “Right. I forget. Geeky werewolf. Never mind.” He spun on his chair, facing her with a frown.
“I’ll have you know I did do stuff. Lots of stuff. Lots of public and important and…good…stuff.” His face became puzzled as he tried to recall just what he had done that was so important. Kate smirked as he quickly spun back around to his computer and began typing furiously.
“My point exactly,” she said, stepping up behind him. “So…would you like to learn how to use a bow?”
“Nope.” He waved at one of the futuristic guns he was always tinkering with. “I don’t need to.”
“Yeah, maybe not,” she said, sliding her arms around his neck and settling her chin on his shoulder, “but it is a lot of fun.”

Author’s notes: For liliofthevaley , who gave me J-Jealousy in my little A-Z drabble challenge.
“Kateeeeeeee…”
“Oh hush up, Henry.”
“You’re spending all of your time with him!”
“Yeah…what’s wrong with that?”
“Nothing, it’s just, well, you know, I’d like some time with you too, you know.”
“Henry Foss, are you jealous?”
“Not at all. Especially not of him. I just wish you’d spend time with others. I mean, seriously. The fella can only take so much love.”
“Ha! You’re living proof that’s not true. And don’t you start making face at me now. It was your idea that I stick around for him.”
“Yeah, and I’m starting to regret it!”
“Aww, are you pouting now?”
“I’m not pouting!”
“Yes you are. And you are so jealous of him.”
“Am not!”
“Are.”
“Are you seriously gonna turn this into a game of “Am not” and “Are too”?”
“Maybe. Answer me this. Are you jealous of Ralphie?”
“…Am not.”
