Room 406, later in the evening

[izzyalienqueen]

It hadn't been the weekend Isabel had planned on. She'd been grabbed on her way to town and spent two days in Tartarus screaming.

But she'd finally been rescued and made her way back to her room.

Cold, tired, and worried about what Wyatt was doing in the midst of all this, Isabel pulled a blanket around her shoulders and curled up on her bed to wait for him.

[For the boyfriend.]

"I can see that," she nodded, feeling the tension slowly drain from her body.

"They kicked Titan ass?"

Wyatt nodded, moving his hand to gently rub Isabel's shoulder. "They saved the world and all, but I'm not sure they were telling me the whole story," he said. "And I'm not really sure what was up with making Aunt Phoebe the goddess of love. She should've been Athena and kicked some ass."

"Maybe it wasn't about being fierce and kicking ass like that. Maybe love was what was important," Isabel answered. "I know it's important to me." She'd learned that this weekend.

"Very important," Wyatt agreed, putting his hand on Isabel's check and moving his head to kiss her.

Isabel met him halfway. "Love you," she murmured.

"Love you," Wyatt said. He really was going to stay up all night and watch over Isabel as she slept. No, really. Pay no attention to his drooping eyelids.

The spirit might have been willing to change the kiss to something more, but Isabel knew Wyatt was tired. She ended the kiss and shifted position so that she could pull Wyatt's head against her shoulder.

"Go to sleep. I'm not going anywhere." She probably wouldn't sleep much either. But it didn't matter as long as Wyatt was there to hold onto.

"Better not," Wyatt mumbled, his arm draped across her chest.

"Promise," she whispered, gently rubbing her hand down his back.

Wyatt struggled against sleeping, but he was still worn out from orbing and relieved and comfortable to have Isabel in his arms again, so moments later he drifted off.

Isabel fought sleep as long as she could, but the events of the weekend caught up with her and eventually she did fall asleep.

It wasn't the best night's sleep, but Wyatt was there to hold onto and that kept the worst of the nightmares at bay.
