[Greytris AU - Christmas]

[priordivergence]

From Allison's apartment, it's just a climb of the stairs to get to my own. Turning the key and opening the door, my own quiet apartment seems strangely desolate compared to the lively party downstairs, but at least the smell of the bread still lingers, making it more welcoming. I flip on the lights and hold the door open for Grey. "There's more bread in the kitchen and I can make some tea or something?"

I'm terrible at being a guest but I'm honestly worse at being a host.

It seems to go on and on, draining Grey completely dry.

He collapses onto his elbows, his forehead to Tris's.

It's only then, when his ability to think comes back, that he realizes what he's done. He lifts his head, wide-eyed, hips jerking once again against hers.

No condom.

I kiss his mouth and shake my head. It will be fine. I can go to the pharmacy tomorrow and get something.

We're okay.

I cup his cheeks in my hands. "Stay?"

[silenttrainbaby]

It takes a moment for Grey's heart to stop clattering against his chest and he nods.

Of course he'll stay. He kisses her again and stays there, blanketing her body with his, warm and safe.

"It's okay," I say. I know how to take care of myself. To be strong.

[silenttrainbaby]

She is strong. He strength draws Grey's strength.

When he finally pulls free, he lies on his side, arm over her waist, chin on her shoulder.

Sleep, wrapped in his arms, comes easily. Grey chases off the nightmares so that when morning comes, I don't feel lost and worn.
