the tent that dreams of being a studio apartment

*Raph begins the slow descent into wakefullness. If you were to ever get him to admit to liking something, this would be it. That place between waking reality, and sleep. Where you know you're not awake, and loving every minute of it. He's aware that Penny is beside him, and that he is warm and comfortable. Raph snakes an arm around Penny and gently pulls her closer, taking a second to adjust the blankets and pillows.

Waitaminute...
There weren't blankets and pillows when they went to sleep last night. They were out by the lake, sleeping under the stars.
A feeling of dread begins to set in.
Raph opens one eye, and slowly begins to take in his surroundings.
They're not by the lake....they're on the roof.*

*He stretches and rolls onto his side*
Never expectin' something to happen doesn't keep you from thinkin' about it and wishin' it would.

While I do love gettin' credit for things I do, I don't think I can take it for this. I think it's this place, you know? It's like a tangible second chance. You know?

People who walk the straight and narrow and are good people don't get this, honey. This is perfect, this is life at its simplest. I'm so glad I found you.

*smirks*
And here I didn't even know I was lost.

Oh, really funny.

Well maybe you found me, I know I was lost.

*she grins*

Nah. You found you. I just helped you dig a little.

*she nods*
Yeah, I know.

*she's not lying, she has changed, but she's still lost, just very hard to feel lost when she's with him*

I hope so.

*he reaches out to her and tucks a stray curl behind her ear*

*she rolls over, he can't see her sad. Not now and she can't smile. so she just rolls over and prays that he'll just think she's getting comfortable.*

*He spoons up behind her, his forehead resting between her shoulder blades. He holds her like she might disappear if he doesn't, when in fact he's the one that's scared. So much has changed in the last couple of months, hell, in the last 24 hours..he's just struggling to keep up.*

*this feels too good, she wants this but she just can't have it much longer. She can't belong to him, she already belongs to rock and roll. Maybe it isn't the choice she wants to make but eventually she'd have to make it and she's not sure she'd be able to choose Raphael. Rock and Roll saved her, she owes her life to it. One more night of perfect and she'll just leave, it'll be easier that way.

she cuddles against him she doesn't want this to end. but Penny Lane belongs to rock and roll and she has to do her job. She just can't have it both ways*
