Aria chuckled and nodded. "I get it." The girl said. She smiled at Sage softly. "You don't have to sleep on the couch. There's enough room in my bed." Aria said with a slightly tilted head. "You can come in too." She laughed. "You probably don't want to be standing outside."

Sage chuckled and nodded. "Alright. I just didn't want to seem like I wanted to sleep in your bed if you weren't comfortable," he hummed. Then he grinned. "Right." He went around to the door and came inside.

Aria nodded. "Yeah, it's okay though." The girl smiled. She laughed when he walked around. "So, your dad wants you to do chores in the morning? I can help you if you want. Besides, i've always wanted to see inside the castle." Aria grinned. She looked over at Sage and scooted over to give him room.

Sage hummed and nodded, slipping into the bed gratefully before flopping down. "That's fine with me," he chirped. "Dad always wants me to do chores," he groaned. "I just finished before I came here...and he'd have me woken up by dawn to do more," he complained. "That's why I came here. I wanted to sleep," he chuckled.

Aria sort of curled up against Sage and smiled. She felt her eyes slowly close. Before she actually drifted off, she turned to Sage and kissed his cheek softly. The girl felt a light blush cover her face as she fell asleep.

Sage felt a blush cover his face when the girl kissed his cheek and cuddled up, but he fell asleep rather happy. In his sleep, he ended up turning towards the girl and wrapping his arms around her and resting his head on her shoulder.

When Aria awoke the next morning, she noticed Sage's arms wrapped around her. She wanted to let the boy get his sleep, since his father made him to early chores. Aria played with his hair for a while, and smiled at the sight of him still sleeping. She laid her head on top of Sage's softly.

Sage stayed asleep for quite some time. It was nice to get some decent rest for once, especially where it was warm and cozy. He supposed he had the girl to thank for that....cuddling up with someone was nice.

Aria grinned and ran her thumb over Sage's cheek. "Sage..." She whispered. The girl smiled and kissed his forehead, before pulling the blanket over her cold shoulders.

Sage blinked his eyes open groggily when the girl kissed his forehead and gave her a sleepy grin. "Morning," he hummed, burrowing down into the warm covers. He was definitely not a morning person...and he was comfortable, so he didn't really want to move.
