Laying Awake (Nick)(FINSHED)

[Penny Mallory]

The storm crashed angrily onto the glassy panels, dripping with the droplets of long since splattered rain against the veranda doors. Thunder cracked overhead as lighting splashed the canvas of the sky, lighting it on fire with its intensity.

Penny lay quietly within her bed, half naked - wearing nothing but a pair of boy boxers. Her tiny body wrapped its unclothed skin against the soft fabric of the blanket as she groaned in protest. She had been gripping the blanket all night, listening, watching. The curtains had scewed open in the night creating an opening, splaying forth the doors leading onto the balcony. Her eyes glued in the misplaced reflections as the heated storm pelted the windows edge causing her to stir, lay on her side, and stare endlessly at gods handy work.

Growling, in a half sleepy voice that could break the most retched of hearts, she slowly pushed down the covers to her feet and looked at the clock. 1:37 a.m. Blinked the red numbers, "Grr." Tolling off to her side she crawled out of bed and pulled off one of her pillows with her as she began the trek across the apartment on her tip toes.

Her delicate feet made but no sound as she snuck across the living room and kitchen area, slowly reaching her destination, Nick's room. Peaking her little head she saw him laying on his back, the blanket he had covering him dripping down to his belly button as his shirtless arms moved sleepily and unaware of her presence.

Quietly, so quietly she crept passed the desk, the chair and made her way around to the other side of his bed. She didn't want to wake him, she just didn't want to be alone. He wouldn't mind, she hoped. Lifting his blanket she slid her non dressed little self in beside him and set her pillow up near the headboard, disregarding it and smiling, She wiggled into position and rested her spiky haired head onto his chest, her right hand imprinting over his heart as she snuggled him close.

Thunder, lighting, and a torrent of rain beat down on the apartment. It seemed that tonight nature had really decided to let loose and release a barrage of water and electricity upont eh busy city. Of course it wasn't the rain that was keeping Nick up though but rather his accursed pain. Since late evening his migraines had managed to surface, refusing to be tamed by measly codine. Nick as a result had taken out the heavy stuff, Vicodin. It had put the monster at bay but his migraines were not gone just yet. He had dosed in and out of of sleep for the past few hours as he struggled to ignore his pain. He simply stared into the darkness, his blind darkness and willed it to stop. Of course willing something to happen, was just as effective as doing nothing at all...

Finally Nick opted to feel over to his dresser, to his side. His tychokinetic sense revealed the familair orange, palstic bottle with the white cap. Nick kenw that printed on the front was his name along with the pills inside, Vicodin. he unscrewed the cap and tossed a coupel pills in his hand, it didn't real matter to him how many. He swalloed the handfula nd placed the unclosed pill bottle back on his nightstand. Just in case he needed it later. The pills did their work almost immediatley, and the pain ceased, replased by a soothing numbing sensation.

He reached his hand over to hs dresser again only this time to grab his watch. He flipped the glass top open and felt the hands and slight bumps that indicated the numbers. 1:37 a.m. He sighed and drifted off into a fitful sleep, for only a moment. He actually began to have a pleasant dream for once when he felt a suddenw eight shift in his bed. He didn't have to open his eyes to realize who it was (of course it wouldn't have mattered much in any case.) He felt Penny's head on his bare chest and her hand over his heart.

Nick, the insatiable ass that he was didn't manage to keep many friends who could tolerate his prescence on a regular basis. Penny though was probably one of his best friends, he had known her for what seemed like forever. As she snuggled in close to him, he wrapped his arm protecivley around her, suddenly realizing that she wasn't wearing a top. Nick smiled to himself, it was something she did often, not neccesarily because Nick was blind either. He was sure whether he had his sight or not she would've gone along the same way. He shifted his chin to the top of her head and whispered, "Couldn't sleep?" As if on cue the thunder bellowed, shaking the apartment a little.

Penny smiled, her face snugly resting on his chest as she felt him wake to her presence. His warm hand wrapped lovingly around her naked back and she planted a kiss on his chest. "Nah-ah." She growled in defiance of the sand man. "Sowwy If I woke you... I didn't want to be alone..." She whispered softly off as crackles of thunder and lightning echoed and exploded in the sky.

Her leg started to itch against his and she wiggled a little, moving her foot up to scratch at her ankle with the heal of her other foot. "Mmm" She closed her eyes and rubbed her hand against his chest as if massaging his heart. "If I didn't have you I'd be lost." She cooed in her sleepy time voice - dazed and relaxing against him.

"You're my best friend. My everything." She blushed even though he couldn't see her. It felt silly saying it aloud. She loved him with all her heart. He was the closest person she knew and everyone else always came second. He would be there for her no matter what she did, she couldn't have asked for a better friend.

The storm started to sputter out of her mind as she layed against Nick's chest. The pattering against the glass, the thunder smacking the sides of the apartment, all was slowly starting to fade. She could still feel and hear them, but they weren't as prominent anymore.

Nick felt the twinge of an oncoming migraine in the back of his head, he opted to ignore it once again. At least he had Penny here to keep him company and distract him from the pain in his head. As he wrapped his arm around her bare back he felt her plant a kiss on his chest and say, "Nah-ah." He gave his usual half crooked smile, barely visible in the dark room. Having someone in insomnia with you made it a little more bearable. She apologized if she had awoken him, telling him that she did not want to be alone.
"Yah thanks for waking me," he joked, as the thunger once again crashed outside. Penny was one fo the few human beings who he could tolerate, one of the few he would let snuggle up with him in a bed ona night like this. Of course by his nature he would never tell her that.

He could feel her moving beneath the sheets, her leg scratched against his as she probably scratched an itch. Nick appreciated the extra company in bed but all the same his migraine was beginning to resurge again. He screwed his eyes tight, trying to recall the different ways to cope with pain. Of course ther was the obvious, taking the pills but there was more unorthodox ways such as ignoring it, using a cool towel, or simply turnign your attention to something. Nick chose Penny to be that something else. It wasn't fullproof but it helped him cope. "Mmmm." he could feel her hand rubbing just over his heart. "If I didn't have you I'd be lost." she cooed, her voice dazed and revealing how sleepy she was.

She told him that he wa sher best friend, her everything. She was his best friend, practically the only person he could go to. He cared about her so much but even so he wasn't the type of person to come out with it. His emotions were for the most part blocked away, he simply preferred logic and sense to matters of emotion. The pain edged to far and Nick felt the gnawing in hsi stomach for Vicodin, he reahced over Penny to the nighstand and poured a few of the pills in his mouth. He placed the near empty orange bottle down and sighed contently.
"I've grown fond of you too," Nick whispered, as the pain in his head began to recede.

The pills gave himt he numbign sensationa dn this time they woudl probably hold out for longer than a few minutes. Int eh abck of his mind Nick wondered whether the pains he felt were imaginary and it was simply his craving for the pills but he deemed it ridiculous. He felt he would know perfectly well if he was addicted. And why would his mind feel the need for the pills when he had Penny right hear to occupy it. It was obviously a pain problem. Nick really wasn't sure how to express his feelings for penny, partly because he wans't sure what those feelings consisited of. He knew how wonderfully close the two of them were but it seemed his head got in the way of whatever emotions he might express.

The rain dripped down like tears as Penny's expression emptied itself onto Nick. Love flowed through her as she pressed herself harder onto his warm chest. Thanking him in her own way with soft caresses she drifted closer to the sand man. His arm holding her against him, gently moving was making soothing her from head to toe.

"Only fond?" She asked, as she play-sniffled against him. Moving her head closer to his arm and burying herself against him felt nice. Wiggling as a shock went though her system she yawned and squeezed him tight.

Before she could stop him he started to pop his pills. "Hey!" She frowned, pushing her head off of him and exposing herself to him. "Why do you keep doing that. It's not healthy." She protested, tugging at his mouth to no avail. Why didn't he ask me to make him feel better? I wasn't making him feel better. I should cry. Hehe nah.

The gentle pitter patter on the windows indicated that the storm was lessening in intensity. It seemed that finally mother nature had tired of bellowing at the city and would finally grant them reprieve to slip off to sleep. Nick's tycho showed him that indeed the rain had stopped for good, of course there was always the offchance that it would pick up again. Now Nick's tired body was practically begging to be let to sleep. Penny pressed herself harder into him and Nick just smiled, letting her move closer to him. He could feel her soft caress and at the moment he thought about just how much he cared about her, his arm moving up and down her back. He himself was feeling sleep pull him in, the place of dreams and rest was beckoning to him and Nick planned on complying and drifting off into the darkness...

"Only fond?" Penny questioned as she play sniffled. Nick raised an eyebrow and gave his familair half smile. He shrugged and responded, "Fine, how about I have grown to adore you." HIs voice was flat with a hint of sarcasm but he did mean what he said. Penny wa always there for him and he planned to be there for her, it was just unfortunate that he cared for her more than he could be bothered to show. She burrowed herself into him, squeezinh him tight and yawning as she did so. "Getting a little tired I see," Nick said as he yawned himself, it was contagious. He hismelf was getting ready to fall asleep if not for the pain in his head, one that was quickly resolved with some Vicodin...

"Hey!" Penny exclaimed as he popped the pills, shitting her postion. "Why do you keep doing that. It's not healthy." she protested as she tried to wrench open his mouth. Her attempts were futile though as Nick managed to swallow the handful of pills. Relief was immediate, pain replaced with a soothing numbing sensation. He gave Penny his normal cocked eyebrow, crooked smile expression, this time as if to exclaim how obvious the answer to that question was.
"As wonderful as this is, snuggling and expressions of emotion do not cure chronic pain," Nick said, his voice laden with sarcasm. "The pills help me cope." he said rather matter of factly, as he stretched out his arms.

Penny's hands searched back for his heart as she snuggled her naked tummy against his side and layed back down her furry head to his chest. "I could have helped in another way." She whispered teasingly, kissing and nuzzling at his chest muscles. She squeaked and let out another yawn, her tiny hands pulling against his skin as if searching for something close.

She could hear the rain letting up, the storm starting to subside, slowly but surely. She wasn't alone anymore, the warmth dripped off him and onto her like honey. It was sweet and made her feel better. She hated to see him in pain, she was tempted to pin him down and ravage him then and there, but sadly he already took his anti-fun pills and she was teetering on sleepy time.

"Thanks for being my snuggle toy. I love you." Penny said with care, her eyes closed and dreaming of dreams. Thinking of soemthing that would break the lock to this world and take her to where her dreams lay. She'd disconnect and when she opened her eyes it'd feel like no time had passed. But she couldn't reach that place on her own, or at the moment and she wasn't sure wht.

[Nick Black]

Penny seemed to forgive him for taking the pills, she placed her hand back on his heart. Beneath her fingers Nick could feel his heart pumping, the muscle contracting and expanding over and over, it was a strange thought to get caught up in but when one does not have sight they tend to focus on different sense. In Nick's case he was partial to sounds and touch. Even his tycho was exhibiting the stochastic fields that surrounded his body, human anatomy was definitley a strange and beautiful thing. As he thought this he could feel Penny's bare tummy press against his side, as she reassumed her position, placing her head on his chest. She teased him, saying she could have helped him in another way as she kissed and nuzzled his chest. Nick felt a familair tightness in his groin but ignored it, Vicodin wouldn't help him this time.

The rain was letting up and lying here with penny seemed to be the most natural thing in the world. His arm was wrapped around her bare back, drawing her closer to him. In the damp cold left by the precipitation Nick garned warmth from his friend as he was sure she was doing with him. There was an endearing quality about snuggling with another human being, it was warmer than a blanket and was better company, in some cases anyhow.

She thanked him for being her snuggletoy and said that she loved him, to which Nick gave a slight chuckle. He wrapped his arm around her tighter and responded, "It was my pleasure. If you need anything you know I'm always here, your wish is my command and yadda yadda yadda," Nick said with a yawn. It was uncharacteristically nice of him to say so, even in the slightly sarcastic manner that he did. As anyone would know, Nick wasn't exactly the type of guy to open up or reveal any deep emotions. As he felt her against him he could feel her steady breathing, from her breathing he could tell she hadn't quite nodded off yet. Once again pulling a rather uncharacteristic action he missed her on top of her head, and brought her closer into his arms. He figured it was just his own exhaustion that was leading him to do such things, he closed his eyes and prepared to float off to sleep.

Turning she found herself laying on her tummy, her tiny breasts cushioning her chest, and her spikey red haired head cheek down on one of the pillows. Her right arm had found it's way beneath the covers and was holding onto something hard. She couldn't tell what it was so she squeezed on it. Her left hand was sprawled off across the sheets to the edge of the bed, her finger tips hanging off the edge slightly.

"Mmm N..Nick?" She whispered half sleepily grabbing and squeezing at him again. Her head was facing towards the window and her eyes still refused to open. She didn't know if he was awake or not but she could feel his body shifting strangely in the bed. He had to be awake, but she was too lazy to move.

"Ahghhh mmmmmm..." Penny yawned her tiny voice and tried to open her eyes but it war hard. Her lids lifted slightly, her eyelashes flickering against her vision as the light from outside impacted her eyes. Closing them back up she continued to poke and squeeze trying to wake him up.

'Why isn't he answering me! I know your awake Nick!' She wanted to say but she couldn't. Her little voice had reverted back to its prepubescent self and she felt too weak to utter anything more, she needed to wake up. "Wake me up..." She croaked and passed back out her hand fluttering to the bed lifeless.

Nick finally dozed off into fitful dreams. Sleep had somply come, embraced hima nd carried him off. The last thing he remebered was holding onto Penny, and feeling her warmth. His dreams were strange and sporadic, they alternated from the seemingly nonsensical to the Freudian treasure trove. of course Nick's subconscience was just as enigmatic and elsuive as his conscienceness. Several times throughout the night, he woke up for a few moments, noramlyl stirred by Penny's movement or a slight twinge of a headache coming on. All things considered though Nick slept peacefully throughout the night, and when morning came he did not want to wake up...

Nick was dozing, dreaming about several candidates for America's Next Top Model when he felt a sudden grip on his morning wood. Nick, still half asleep didn't make the connection as to what ti meant or to who it was rather simply enjoying the sensation of the touch. A sleepy grinned crawled on his face and he shifted ever so slightly.
"Mmm N..Nick?" the Russian supermodel said, as she fed Nick chocolate covered strawberries. Or at least so Nick dreamed. Once again there was a pelasurable squeeze and Nick found himself shuddering with pleasure. He was flashing in and out of dreamworld not really differtiatign between fantasy and reality.

"Ahghhh mmmmmm..." the Italian Supermodel yawned. Nick a little miffed asked, "Am I boring you," which in reality sounded more like "Em eh burinoo." She seemed to respond by poking and prodding him to which Nick chuckled slightly and curled up.
"Wake me up..." a voice said. This voice was disembodied, not coming from any of the supermodels. It sounded hauntingly familair as well... Nick cracked his eyes open to be greeted with the same familair darkness. Eyes closed or open, he always did see the same thing. He sat up slowly, his muscles stretching and his bones practically groaning from teh effort. Judging from Penny's breathing pattern he deduced that she was still asleep.

Nick stood on the bed, on his knees before falling forward, his hand landing on the back of Penny's leg. He realized she was lying on her stomach and a mysterious smile grew on his face as he figured a way to wake her up. He ran his hand down her leg and tickled the sole of her foot. "Hey, if you wake up I'll make breakfast," Nick proclaimed with a laugh. He was in an abnoramly playful mood that morning, he coined this up to a good night's rest and the very...pleasurable feelings and dreams he had. Nick did happen to be a rather good cook, it was a hobby he took up at the will of his mother. At first he detested it but he realized cooking was a science, with a little logic he managed to make soem delicious conncotions. It had become a passion of his now, he cooked for the sake of doing so but he didn't mind cooking something up for other people.

Curled up in Nick's bed Penny had her face still snugly resting against one of their pillows, her bare back glinting off the sun and warming her body. She was lost again, floating back towards that sleepy hollow where her dreams lay. Just beyond the horizon her mind reached and gripped at them, hurdling towards the darkness, but couldn't reach them. She had forgot about her hand tugging on something so inviting, she had forgotten why her fingertips were slightly sticky and stained to the bedsheet. Most of all she had forgotten this. "Wake me up..."

"Mmmm!!!!" She shivered and shook for protection as a tingly evil sensation touched the sole of her foot. She wiggled endlessly in bed and growled towards Nick. "Hey!" She shivered some more and grabbed one of the pillows, the one she had left on the headboard and knocked him over the head with it.

She looked down and saw that her body was clothed in nothing but a pair of boy boxers and blushed confidently. Her memories slowly started to return from the night before and she pounced forward tackling Nick onto the bed and hugging him tightly. "Muah! Muah! Muah!!" She mouthed with her lips as she play-kissed at his ear.

Her legs wrapped around his torso and she wiggled herself into his grip, feeling something poking at her undies. "Bad boy. So! What'cha gunna cook! What are we eating today?" She cheered, already hyper again and filled with happiness. She had two levels this one and utterly depressed. So it was good that she was focusing on this one.

The light streamed through the room's window warming Nick's bare skin, it was his only indication that light was coming in at all. In addition to the rapid chirping from outside he knew the day had come and he was eager to start. What's more he didn't wake up with a headache, by all accounts a good way to start the day. Penny was still asleep though, instead of letting her continue dozing he figured he wanted to "share" the morning with her. He figured that tickling her foot would be an amusing way to wake her up.

"Mmmm!!!!" he heard Penny as she shivered and wiggled to slide away from him. "Hey!" she exclaimed before hitting him over the head with it. Nick fell on his back on the bed, laughing to himself.
"Oh great your awake," he joked, suddenly aware that his boxers were sticky. He wondered if it was apparent but didn't bother hiding it or anything, it was a human function after all.


Nick sat up once again but found that no sooner had he doen so he was once again lying on his back. Penny jumped on him, hugging him tightly. He was acutley aware of her bare breasts against him as she play kissed him on the ear. Each kiss accentuated by a loud, muah! He cocked an eyebrow and chuckled as she did so.
"Well, someone's feeling awfully affectionate this morning," he stated with his half grin on his face. As it seemed he wasn't the onyl one in a good mood this morning. No pain, good sleep, and a good dream all add up to a pleasant start to one's day.

He could feel her legs wrap around his torso and was vaugley aware of the tightness in his groin returning. Penny must have noticed it "Bad boy," she exclaimed.
"Maybe you should punish me," he jokingly said with a wink. Yes, Nick's sense of humor often did take a turn towards the risque.
"So! What'cha gunna cook! What are we eating today?" Nick thought about it, he wasn't the type of person to simply make scrambled eggs and toast, his mother had gotten him into making all sorts of exotic dishes and racked his brain to find a good breakfast dish.
"How about crepes with a little cream cheese, whipped cream, bananas, and strawberries," he offered. If there was anythign good Nick knew how to make for breakfast it was crepes.

Penny pinned Nick's hands above his head and giggled. "I'm always happy when I wake up in someone else's bed!" She teased sincerely and rubbed her furry head against his cheek. She hoped her red locks were tickling his smooth skin as she pressed her chest to his and grinned.

Overhead she interlocked her tiny fingers with his big ones and squeezed them tightly together. "If I wanted to punish you it wouldn't be that hard." She whispered, her head still laying against his cheek. Her voice dripped with arousal as grounded her hips into his in three hard... long... motions.

"But I don't want to punish you." Penny snickered in her little girl voice then pushed up off his hands and sat up, her butt resting against his bulge. Her face got thoughtful for a moment and she tapped her index finger to her chin.

"Crepes sound nice. I guess it's better than boinking my bestie in his bed." She bounced on his waist as she said this. When she finished she hopped up and moved back on the bed towards the pillows still facing him. "Mmmm I'm hungry! Feed me!" She insisted.

[Nick Black]

Suddenly Penny pinned his hands above his head and giggled about how she was lways happy to wake up in someone elses bed. Nick laughed, responding, "I'm sure you are." She rubbed her firry little head against his cheek, and he couldn't help but smile. Her fais tickled his cheeks and the sides of his mouth, he laughed and blew her hair out of his face. She pressed herself firmly against him and once again Nick felt the tension building up in his pants. As a guy it was practically in his nature to get aroused by even the simplest gestures, Nick was no different for all his differences, he was quite easily aroused. "Well I have to say, I'm happy to have someone waking up in my bed."

He felt her fingers interlock with his and squeezed her playfully. She told him that if she wanted to punish him it wouldn't be that hard. Her head was still pressed against hsi cheek and her words flowed out smooth and arousing, like milk and honey. Now if ever Nick felt as if he wa sbout to burst. It was then that he felt Penny brind against him in three...long...pleasurable motions. As3377bbffffff]"Why must you tease me."

[/color]

"But I don't want to punish you." she told him as she sat up, practically right up on top of his bulge. He once again moaned slightly as he placed his hands on her thighs, rubbing slightly with his thumbs.
"You don't do you," he asked jokingly with a coy smile on his face.
"Crepes sound nice. I guess it's better than boinking my bestie in his bed." she told hima s she bounced up and down on his pelvis. At this point Nick knew he had to realease soon or he would be suffering from soem serious blue balls.
"Better for who," he groaned as she leaped up, plopping down on the bed.
"Mmmm I'm hungry! Feed me!" She insisted. Nick swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood, up stretching.
"Well who am I to refuse."

Nick felt his way through the hallway with his hands against the wall, he knew the aprtment well and had no need for his cane or any other asistance. He made his way to the bathroom first to...take care of a little business. Once he was done, he made his way to the kitchen, feeling the cool floor beneath his feet. He opened the fridge and got to work, expertly maniplating both utensils and ingredients despite his disability. Here taste, smell, and touch came especially in handy. He finished up, placing the crepes ona plate, and the plate on a tray. He managed to bring it back to the room and place it on Penny's lap, sitting opossite of her on the bed.
"And breakfast is served. Would you care for naythign else with that," he asked jokingly, as he pulled off a piece and shoved it into his mouth. "And don't be afraid to tell me how wonderful they are."

Penny sat back and examined the messy bed. Her hair was draped over her forehead, her tinged bangs almost touching her eyelashes as she looked down at her legs. She hoped Nick didn't mind that she had spent the night with him. Last night just freaked her out on a mental level and she needed someone to protect her, as foolish as that sounds. She loved him for it, and now he was getting her breakfest. Penny knew she'd have to pay him back for this - wanted to.

The aroma wafted into the bedroom as he came back in with a plate of crepes. "You're such the gentlemen." She complimented as he set the tray down in her lap, the plastic edge resting against her belly.

"And breakfast is served. Would you care for naythign else with that," he asked jokingly, as he pulled off a piece and shoved it into his mouth. "And don't be afraid to tell me how wonderful they are."

"Hmmm." Penny thought as she plopped one in her mouth and savored it. "Mmm Mmm" She started to pick up one after another and continued to eat them, giving him a big thumbs up and and much nodding in his favor.

"The only thing I can think that would make this more enjoyable would be making you as happy as you've made me." She reached out over the tray and pulled at the elastic of his boxers, popping them back in place. "Unless you'd rather I fill my mouth with crepe's?" She laughed and ate another one.
