The next morning came around peacefully . The sun high and the birds chirping their sweet song as june laid back in the warm comforter , Cora's head tucked away soundlessly in her neck as she slept away .She had awoken over twenty minutes ago and hadn't found the will to move her friend away or wiggle her way out of the large , comfortable bed .
It felt weird to wake up beside someone other than Jett , she had gotten used to being curled into his chest with his whole body surrounding her into his snug embrace .
He always held her tight as though he was afraid that if he let go or loosened his hold even a little , she would disappear .
Yet june never felt suffocated or trapped , she had only ever felt safe and wanted . After years of sleeping alone with no one to hold her or protect her from the things that always stumble in her way , it was a nice change . Being wanted . Being held and being able to hold another and wonder if she made them feel safe too .
Cora had no idea who she was peacefully sleeping against , her arm slung over June's stomach heavily as she hiccuped in her sleep.
Playing with a strand of Cora's now dark purple hair , she squinted her eyes at her phone in her free hand .
Smiling softly as the numerous texts from Jett that now filled her phone .
Briefly glancing down at her friend before deciding to just call him , knowing that he would prefer to hear her voice instead .
The phone only rang for about three seconds before he picked up , having been waiting for her to call .
It made her smile even wider as his rough morning voice grumbled deep in his chest , a tingle running down her spine .
"I missed you." Is the first thing he said. Not even bothering with any small talk or white lies .
He found that he didn't sleep as well without his little witch there anymore .
He felt on edge and restless as he rearranged the small pieces of wood he had chopped up in front of him . His hands twitching , needing to do something .
Exhaling softly with a small giggle , she felt her cheeks heat up at his admission . She would never get used to his gentle words .
"I was only gone for the night !" She laughed quietly, carefully , as she checked to make sure that Cora was still in dreamland . She was .
Jett only groaned long and miserably.
"Yeah , let's not do that again . I don't like you being gone for long , makes me feel itchy ." He muttered grumpily as he rubbed his dry and tired eyes with his rough fingertips .
Smirking as she rolled her eyes at his dramatics .
"Itchy ? Are you comparing me to a flea... or a tic you asshole?" She teased. Already knowing that he didn't mean it badly .
