Feeling as her she leaned into his hand he softly smiled. He became surprised when she repeated his sentence, it was as if she had never been told that someone was proud of her. He let out a soft sign before his lips opened to speak once again, “Anya, I'm proud of you for finally letting all of your emotions out and not bottling them up inside like it's a chore.” Caden paused before speaking again. She was obviously in a vulnerable state and he didn't want to make her feel worse and agree with her. “...It doesn't and will never make you weak to let something out for once, understand me?” He looked at her when finishing his sentance, his tone became deeper and more serious. He watched as she unwinded her bandages, his eyes followed her hand movements and watched as the dirty, damp bandages dropped to the floor. These wounds definitely were not months old, he knew that for sure. Scars hadn't even began to start forming yet. Caden gritted his teeth in frustration.

Caden brought his head back up when he heard her start speaking, he kept quiet until she was finished. It frustrated him to see her hands full of cuts of sorts and burns because the process of getting them had to be more painful than how they are currently. It also annoyed him for her to casually say her burned hand wasn't bad, he huffed. The whisper of her voice sent vibration throughout his body. When the pressure and weight appeared on his shoulder from Anya’s head, he lowered his to be in line with her’s. Slowly, he brought his hand to he lower part of her head that met her neck, comforting her. “We can stay like this for as long as you need....” He responded to her, whispering back.

When he felt the pressure release from his shoulder he looked up, seeing that Anya’s head was faced in another direction. He paused from looking at her before noticing her hands which she had in front of him, he carefully took them both into one of his hands and rested them there. He turned his head towards the hallway before moving his free hand’s fingers in the air. A strong aura of his powers swished through the room as the door opened slightly and a red first aid kit started floating out in thin air towards the two of them. Caden turned his head back towards Anya, his eyes looking at her, he chuckled as she finished her sentence, “You force yourself way to damn much as it is Anya, notice that, please.” He said finishing sternly as the first aid kit slowly dropped next to his legs. Caden never fully understood why she pushed herself so much and sometimes it worried him. Looking down at her hands he released the pressure of his free hand from his power. Not wanting to hurt her he carefully set her burned hand on his leg while tending to her rather beat up hand.

It took him a good 10 or so minutes to wrap her hands, the air now smelled of wound ointment, which had a heavy sent of mint. He carefully placed her hands down. Raising his hand a bit, he swiped the air and the room and the far window peeked open slightly, letting a cold breeze rush through the room. "It's late Anya, you need to get some rest.." He said tilting his head slowly getting up, holding his hand down to her. His voice was still stern, but more in a serious, warm hearted tone. Despite knowing that she could kill him in his sleep, he wasn't letting her go off on her own in this state, he didn't care what she said.

Anya nodded slowly like a child who had just been preached to. She lowered her head like she was ashamed however, the days without sleep were catching up with her. She was allowing the tiredness to take over. Anya looked at her hands, all bandaged up. Her hands felt much better after Caden took the time to patch her up. She was surprised that the ointment had already put her at ease.

Anya listened to Caden who had turned demanding yet sweet all of a sudden. He was that worried about her? She didn't want to sleep even though exhaustion was settling in. She grabbed his hand, careful to not apply more pain to her hand. Anya refused to make eye contact with him, afraid she would shed more tears. She wanted to speak but her lips wouldn't let her. She made her way over to the room, finding herself yearning to feel the comfort of the mattress. "It is pathetic you don't have a girlfriend," She was still stubborn as ever, always bringing up topics that didn't pertain to the moment. Tiredness laced her voice but it was obvious her statement was merely a joke. She placed herself upon the bed and let out a steady sigh. Her eyes were already drifting closed but she still managed to keep her body stable. "Caden," She murmured. "You better sleep with your eyes open...cause..." She paused like she almost lost her train of thought by the tiredness. "...cause I will grab that knife...wherever the hell I put it..and kill you," Anya looked up at him, her eyes tired yet serious.

Anya allowed herself to slip off her shoes and slip underneath the sheets. She didn't even know if Caden had stayed in the room or if he had already left. Her eyes immediately drifted closed. It was obvious that she cherished this moment. Her cheeks were still flushed from her crying but she looked at peace. She allowed herself to drift into a deep deep sleep that she found herself needing.

---

Morning came sooner than Anya asked for. She was still in bed, although the sheets were all twisted. The color had returned to her face and she looked well-rested. She shifted, disturbed by the light leaking in the room. Her face only dug deeper into the pillow. She hadn't budged from her bed once. Anya had slept through the whole night with ease. Although...she couldn't find herself waking up anytime soon.

With guidance from Anya, he followed her to the bedroom. Caden was exhausted, but probably not as much as she was. He could tell she was wielding something in, she wouldn't even look at him in the eyes, he shrugged as they reached the room. Refreshing drafts made their way down the hall. Caden stopped and leaned against the door framing as Anya ascended into the bed and began speaking. He found it humorous, her repeating those words over and over again every time they see each other. Softly snickering he tilted his head, his hair fell just above his eyes, his lips parted, “Tch...sure thing, Anya. I will be sure to attend to myself then.” His voice was deep with a drowsy manner. “..Goodnight, Anya.” It was as if he was almost mocking her. Smirking he turned around, quietly grabbing the door handle and shut the door as he walked out.

The sun peaked through the living room windows, he squinted as it hit his eyes, still being more than half asleep. Caden had slept on the couch, he found it rather comfortable, with a pillow or two and a light blanket, it was comfy. His leg slid down off the couch and the blanket tugged downward away from his upper body. His eye peered open as the warmth from underneath the blanket was let out, he groaned. Yawning, he sat up and walked to the fridge. Caden lived in an apartment complex with neighbors all around him which he disliked sometimes. Making his way to the fridge he looked out the kitchen window seeing what looked to be a person living in the same complex as him waving, he tilted his head, and quickly shut the blinds out of annoyance. Caden had gotten bottled water and sat back down on the couch, hopping onto his phone. He wondered when Anya would be getting up, he has contemplated waking her up but had chosen not to, as she needed it and she would probably attempt to kill him for doing so. He chuckled at his thought.

Anya shifted under the covers. The scent of the bed made her eyes flutter open. She had forgotten that this was Caden's bed. She sighed and forced herself to sit up even though she didn't want to. She stared at her hands for a second, still wrapped neatly. Before Anya had the chance to stand up she began coughing. This damn cough of hers. She would have coughing fits every now and then. This was what she got for getting beat up and not taking care of herself afterward. It made her feel horribly sick every time.

She hunched over, holding her head in her bandaged hands. She took a deep breath as her coughing ceased. Was she sicker than she had believed? Anya lifted her head towards the window, seeing the light peak in.

She groaned in irritation and yanked the covers over top of her. She curled up underneath the sheets. She touched her lips. Did Caden really miss her? They had a moment one night but then she left suddenly. But did it mean as much to him as it did to her? Wait...why was she thinking about this right now? She shoved her face into the warm fabric of his sheets.

Caden scrolled through his phone, answering a few texts and listening to voicemails that he had that were almost weeks old. Besides ones from his mother, sister, and his close friends, not bothering to answer the other ones.

His mother is also a supernaturalist, his sister on the other hand was a supernaturalist. She lost her supernatural powers when she was 12, which Caden blames himself for every time it pops up in his head. He hadn't seen them since that incident which was only 3 or 4 years ago. Shaking his head at the thought he turns his phone off and turns it face down on the table.

Standing up straight he stretched his back, arching it backward, the position he was in wasn't all too comfortable so it felt good when his lower back popped. He grunted, picking up the water bottle that he had drank out of and set it back in the fridge so it wouldn't be warm next time he decided he was thirsty.

His mind traveled through the faint conversation he and Anya had the night before while walking back to the couch and sitting down. He chuckled slightly as she had told him to sleep with one eye open yet she is still asleep and it's bearing 11:00 A.M. Caden had sat back down on the couch by the time the thoughts jumped away from him. He jumped a little hearing coughs coming from the end of the hallway. Did I just let a sick person into my home? He shook his head. The table vibrated from his phone that snapped him out of the sick thought. Not wanting to answer his phone he doesn't walk back to the kitchen, instead, he walks towards his bedroom.

Caden stopped at the doorframe, leaning up against it. At first, his eyes wandered around his bed looking for a human resemblance above the sheets, before seeing a body squirm underneath. "Is the sleeping beauty finally awake?" He said teasingly.

Anya was about to fall asleep but she heard a movement by the door. She stirred when his voice filled the room. Of course, he had to tease her. She felt so warm and cozy under these covers like she never wanted to move. Anya pulled the covers off of her face and peeked up at Caden. She had this cute tired look on her face and her hair was slightly kinky. She gave him a weird face. Anya couldn't help but smile just a little. She turned away in an attempt to hide the smile. Anya looked back when she was able to keep a straight face. "I'm awake," she finally said, rolling her eyes.

"What do you want? Me to get out of your bed? That's the first time I heard that from a man" She chuckled and stood up. Anya walked over to him but was unable to walk out of the door since he was leaning on the doorframe. Anya looked up at him, tilting her head just a bit. "Why do you have that look in your eyes?" She asked. The more she looked, the more she felt a blush appearing on her face. Anya cleared her throat, glancing away so the blush faded away. It was the same look in his eyes when they kissed a while ago. Her heart picked up the pace just thinking about it. Just change the topic.

"You are obnoxious, blocking my path," She brushed past him, squeezing out of the doorway. Anya does her best to hide things but she isn't a pro at it. She walked silently after that sentence. It was unlike her to make such a hasty comment without more to say.

Anya tiredly made her way to the kitchen. She stood by the sink and managed to rip off the first bandage on her hand. It was her burnt hand. It looked much better but it was still bad. She ripped off the other one. Both were healed enough to move. She attempted to move her fingers but they barely twitched. Anya felt her eyes welling up with tears. She knew she wasn't supposed to take the bandages off of them. She had to heal quicker though. She was a supernatural hunter. Whether she could move them or not she had to kill or her boss would get rid of her for knowing too much and being useless.

Anya let out a shaky breath. She was able to move her hands the second time, though her hands shook from weakness every time she made a fist. If she couldn't move them that well then she would have to force herself to.

It was in Caden's nature to taunt and tease Anya, so of course, he would do so when given the chance. He watched as she began to pull the covers away from her head, peeking at him. Looking at her he could help but let a soft chuckle out as her hair was kinked and she had a sleepy look on her face, looking as though she slept pretty well.

When she spoke again he listened, waiting for her to be finished with her little talk. He looked down toward her, watching as she got up and made her way towards the doorway where he was standing, now noticing the height difference between the two of them. A small smirk emerged on his lips. He had caught her smiling a few times but decided not to say anything. She seemed to be hiding them.

His attention was drawn back to Anya when she spoke. Her facial expressions changed and her face became a heated pink. He turned his head slightly leaning down towards her his sheepish smirk making an appearance again, "Your cheeks are rosy, Anya." He said softly, teasing her once again, letting a small laugh out, ignoring her question.

Caden grunted as she struggled to get past him. He shrugged and walked into his room after seeing her walk down the hall in the direction of the kitchen. Opening his closet door, he grabbed a deep blue sweatshirt, finding the shirt he was wearing currently uncomfortable. Grabbing his shirt by the collar he pulled his shirt over his head in a swift and subtle movement, his lightly tanned skin now exposed. He grabbed the sweatshirt and put it on before walking back out.

Letting a yawn escape his mouth as he entered the room he heard a buzz, his phone. He walked over to the table but ignored his phone, giving Anya a look, trying to tell what she is doing. One of his eyebrows rose as he saw both her hands were now exposed, no bandage. He sat down.

"Aren't those supposed to stay on your hands until they are healed?" Caden said in a normal-sleepy tone. He could tell emotions were swelling through her, he just didn't know what kind of emotion it was. Caden walked over to the fridge and grabbed his water bottle that he drank out of earlier. Before walking over to Anya, raising his eyebrow yet again. She seemed to be making fists with her hands.

"No, I don't. My hands are fine," She said awfully too quickly. She was obviously disturbed. Anya was always one to hide her feelings. She had no choice but to. She killed people for a living. "I should be able to go on my next mission in a couple of days," She held her hands in fists that would shake of weakness. She let the fists go when he approached, allowing them to hang at her sides.

Hunters were made to be specific and intricate in their work. They accomplish their killings without hesitation. Their movements come off smooth and faster than the human eye. Back then the training was harsh and she knew the risk of becoming a hunter. Once you become one there is no turning back. If you backed out of the job, you would be executed for knowing too much information. No matter what you had to keep working, even if your hands were useless. It felt like nothing but raw survival. Kill or be killed.

"There is no reason to worry about me, okay." She glanced over at him like she was attempting to lighten the moment. There was this certain look in her eyes that seemed unnormal yet kind. Anya was able to somewhat grab the bandages and toss them out, though her hands started the ache from the frequent movements.

"You seem too concerned about me all the time. Is it because you are starting to take a liking to me? I thought it was just your two friends" She chuckled softly. Anya had no room to speak when he caught her blushing just a minute ago. She could have been deemed giddish when she blushed. "They get so cute when I merely look at them. Yet it's sad to say you aren't the same," Anya was obviously teasing him. She spoke the truth though. There were two kinds of people, the ones that give looks and the ones that befall those looks. When Anya looks at Caden's friends, they crumble under her look, craving for her attention. Caden and herself were both the ones that give the looks, hoping the other cracks. "Or am I wrong?" She tilted her head. She cracked a smile.

Did she forget of last night? Crying in front of him. Saying she missed him. She was the one to show up at his doorstep. She even had the audacity to ask if he had someone else. It was easy to say she was intrigued by Caden more than his actual friends. She just wouldn't say it.

He quietly breathed at her actions, he had essentially forgotten how tenacious she was after how she was last night. He knew she wouldn't be able to do a mission with her hands not fully healed, I mean she still cringed at the pain, he saw that written all over her face. Caden opened his water bottle and took a drink, not wanting to get himself involved with her hardheadedness.

When she told him not to worry about her is only pissed him off. He gave her a look that seemed to write itself, you've got to be shitting me. Caden had the urge to just go out on reasons why he has every right to be concerned about her, but instead, he clenched his teeth together and glanced across the room. He placed the water bottle down as it still rested in his hand. He turned back to her gaze and huffed.

Caden scoffed at her words, glancing at her. Anya had no room to speak about taking a liking to someone, he grinned at his thought. Last night she came running to him, saying she missed him, she came to him.

He didn't like the fact she used Diego and Carson as a comparison to him liking her, as it was nowhere close, he didn't drool over her, they did. Caden rolled his eyes. He looked back at her and gritted his teeth as her sentence ended, looking at her with his green and blue eyes, they almost got..darker? “Are you wrong, Anya?” Caden tempted to question her back, his voice stern, raspy, but warm. “I do take a so-called liking to you, just not as much as them, or is it more than them?” He finished his statements he had stated we're partly lying/true statements, a grin emerging on his face as his head moved away from her and he wandered towards the table.

He was practically testing her, in his way, of course. Caden’s tongue licked his lips before he spoke again, “May we not forget your incident last night with me, showing up at my apartment.” He paused looking down at his phone. “Saying you missed me, when I was your target?” He teased a little harshly. “If I'm not wrong, but do correct me if I am, you also took a liking, didn't you?” He smirked looking at her, he was a devil not meaning well.
