"We should check for any damage." Aerrow closed his eyes in disagreement at Piper's words.
"No, not yet." The Sky Knight whispered, pulling Piper closer. As Aerrow's warm arms encased her, Piper closed her eyes, letting her head rest against Aerrow's shoulder. Trying to block the sound of rolling clouds above her head. Piper's eyes opened in alarm as thunder rolled across the sky. Frustration gnawed at the last of Piper's energy as she glared at the sky disapprovingly. Drops of water fell slowly from the braches overhead, landing on Aerrow's head with a little plop. The Sky Knight shifted his gaze up to the low hanging branches of the willow tree, concern filling him as he saw more water threatening to fall off the leaves.

"Let's get you into your room," Piper nodded at Aerrow's words. Piper closed her eyes for a moment waiting for all exhaustion to leave her body. Slowly she tried to step back but her leg collapsed underneath her, Aerrow quickly reacted catching her before Piper's small frame hit the cold damp floor. Lifting Piper up Aerrow slipped his arms under her body, her feet lifting off the ground slowly.

"Thank you." Aerrow looked deep into Piper's fatigued eyes, the deep topaz tones in her eyes allowed a small smile to form. Aerrow placed a hand on Piper's cheek, the Sky Knight jumped in alarm as the temperature of Piper's skin, crept through the rough fabric covering his hand. Without a word the Sky Knight started walking to the Navigators room, his gaze staying locked on Piper. His arms gently closed around her body as the Sky Knight turned to Piper's bedroom doorway. His gaze lifting, Aerrow gasped lightly as he saw the water logged state of Piper's room. Water clung desperately to the wood as it fell. A thin layer of water formed a pool on the old mattress as the fabric dried it up.
Piper opened one of her eyes slightly to look at her room closing it quickly as she saw what had happened.

"What now?" Piper asked in a small voice. "I'm not going into Finn's room, it smells." Aerrow nodded in agreement as he racked his brain for alternatives.

"I'll go to Finn's room, you can use mine." Aerrow looked down at Piper in time to see her screw up her nose. "Ok, I take that as a no." Piper nodded quietly before resting her head against Aerrow's shoulder once more. Aerrow paused a moment waiting for his navigator to say something, he tilted his head to the side after moments passed without another word from Piper. "Do you have a plan?"

"Huh?" Piper's eyes shot open in surprise, topaz instantly met emerald. "Um no." Piper looked away to avoid Aerrow's expecting gaze.

"Well there is the old lounge," Aerrow shifted his shoulders uncomfortably quickly before continuing.

"You mean the lounge that sprung Finn a few feet in the air because the fabric split?" Holding back laughter Aerrow begun stroking the side of Piper's face with his hand.
"Yes, that one." Laughing lightly Aerrow smiled down at Piper waiting for her to turn her head.

"I do have one idea, but it's silly." Piper looked directly into Aerrow's eyes, hoping he would take her seriously. Piper waited for all signs of laughter to leave the Sky Knights eyes, her eyes staying fixed on his. "Well we could share a room." As Piper waited for a response she started doubting her plan she started counting down the seconds until Aerrow would start laughing.

"Good idea, we both get to sleep and if you're cold I'll be right there." Piper's body jumped in shock at Aerrow's words.

"Y-you don't think it's stupid?" Aerrow started laughing taking Piper by surprise.
"You're joking right?" Aerrow managed between fits of laughter. Aerrow opened his eyes to see the serious look in Piper's eyes. "You're not." Aerrow whispered as the last of his laughter left him. "Nothing you say is-"

"Thank you Aerrow." Piper awkwardly wrapped her arms around Aerrow's neck being careful not to choke him.

"We should get some rest." Placing her hands on Aerrow's shoulders Piper nodded. Piper felt guilt wash over her as she felt Aerrow's shoulders move under her hands.
"You're shoulders, they're going to be sore." Piper tried placing her feet on the floor but was stopped by Aerrow's arms.

"If they are, it was worth it." Piper smiled, looking away from Aerrow as she felt heat run across her checks. Aerrow nodded as he headed for his room
Aerrow smiled taking in the site of his room, jumping slightly as he heard Pier's heavy breathing.

"Piper?" Aerrow laughed as he placed Piper down on the mattress, Aerrow sat on the edge of the mattress stroking her hair. "Sleep well my angel."
