[PRP] A Christmas Horror Story (Chel/Shun)

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun grunted and shook his head, "I would most likely end up building up a dependency. Then I would be worse off than I am now."  

[chiickadee]

Chel mumbled a laugh. "A dependency on sleep? Ain't that the point?" Chel also wasn't that bright.

"D'you got work tomorrow?" she asked abruptly.  

[Blade Kuroda]

A hand went up to his face.

"No. The sleeping pills," he flatly replied, "And yes. I do."  

[chiickadee]

"Damn," Chel said into his shoulder, moving the hand from his hair, down his chest and finally resting it on his side in a comfortable hold. "Maybe I'll just get a job at the precinct."

Chel was more likely to end up in jail.  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun just sort of stared at Chel there.

Then again... Preacher was able to get a job at the precinct...  

[chiickadee]

"Kidding," she reminded him. "I don't like cops an' s**t." She snickered and added, "Most cops, I guess."  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun merely shrugged at her comment.

A lot of people didn't like cops really.  

[chiickadee]

"It'll get harder t'see you with yer new job, mm?" Chel finally closed her eyes, fully relaxed.  

[Blade Kuroda]

"Possibly. I have a larger workload than I had prior."

A lot of it was paperwork, much to his chagrin.  

[chiickadee]

"Leave time fer me too," she told him, fingers kneading into his shirt slightly, unintentionally. "Mr. Boss man."  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun looked down at her hands for a moment, "We will have to see."  

[chiickadee]

"Better than no."  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun shrugged at that.  

[chiickadee]

"You want me t'make dinner tonight?" she asked. Her eyes were still closed and she had no intentions of getting up any time soon, but she was still trying to think of ways to pay Shun back. Her question also implied she had little plans of leaving tonight.

Thoughts of dinner led her to the Christmas dinner her family was sure to have; poor Chris would be alone this year. Maybe she'd take Christmas off after all. She couldn't leave Chris alone like that. Not with them.  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun drew in a breath, thinking about that. He eventually just sort of shook his head.

"No, that is alright."
