"Oh- um, sorry I..." Ruby turned hearing him get up and go to the window, she raised an eyebrow as he opened it and snapped off the twig scratching at the window. Sure she could hear, she could hear practically everything, but Victor...? She sighed and dug through the fridge. She pulled out a can of beer each and went over to the couch.
"Alright," she flopped down," Neither of us can sleep, so why don't we do something in the mean time to occupy ourselves...." She blinked, it occurred to her that what she said may have implied something she did not intend,"Uh, yeah, let's just... Lets talk" she offered him a beer and smiled weakly.

He grinned at her, still standing by the open window with the twig in his hand. "I... shouldn't. It'll keep me up... even more so..." He said, in regards to the beer being offered. "In fact, I don't think I've done late night alcohol since my fake days at the University of-"
A pale, clawed hand seized his wrist as he was tossing out the twig. Whale shouted in panic and wrenched his hand free, falling back. The Window slammed shut. Lightening flared and thunder started to rumble...
Whale stayed on the floor for a few moments, daring not to breathe, staring at the window.
"I... I think I'll take that beer now..."

Ruby gasped and went over to him, she handed him the drink and made sure he was okay. Ruby glanced over her shoulder to the window,"What the hell was that...?"
She got up slowly and went to investigate...

"Scare tactics..." Whale said, bringing up a trembling beer can to his lips for a sip. "...By my new vampire acquaintance. It's working."
He saw Ruby approach the window. "No DON'T... he can't come in... not without an invitation..." He could hear the voice in his head, beckoning for Victor to open the window... invite him in. "You wouldn't happen to have a cross necklace, would you?"
Ruby wouldn't be able to find anyone outside the window. This was all to screw with Victor's head.

Ruby stopped before she could get any closer.
Victor was still shaking, she went over and helped him up,"I think the closest thing I've got is a purity ring I got when I was twelve..." She offered a weak smile,"But it's like you said, he can't get in right? Not unless either of us say"

"Right...that's right." He said, finding his voice. Whale went over to her vanity mirrored desk and snatched up a tube of lipstick. He held it up to her. "I hope you don't mind me using this... I'm sure you have a endless supply of it." He added with a quirk in his weak smile.
He went up to the window and drew a very symmetrical looking cross on the glass with brilliant red lipstick. When he completed his work, he hesitantly stepped forward to peer out the sides of the window. Nothing.
"I think that took care of-"
The hand slapped loudly against the window with a thunder crash, dragging it's nails against the red cross, without a flinch... and then disappeared again.
Whale dropped the tube. "Nope... nope... needs to be metal... a metal or wooden cross..." He took another shaky sip of beer before crawling into the couch bed, sitting in a tight ball with an arm around his bent legs. "Sorry about the lipstick..."

"No, Victor it's fine...." Red slid onto the bed next to him again and slid her arms around his chest, resting her head on his shoulder," It's alright...'
she held on to him gently and kissed his cheek," But... if it helps, it's still a wolfs moon.... and I'm not going anywhere. I'll be right here if you want," Whether it was Dracula, Lestradt or freaking Edward Cullen, he'd have to be a complete idiot to underestimate Ruby on a full moon like this. Even if she was a little out-gunned

Whale felt like a terrified child, and he HATED Ruby seeing him like this... but he put his arms around her, clinging to her warmth.
The night wore on, with no more tapping on the glass. In the morning they were both on their sides, his arm around her slim waist, his front spooned around her back. His face was buried in her soft hair... it's scent comforting to him.
He started stirring as the morning light from the window beat on them relentlessly. He wondered what time it was... but he didn't want to move. Even if he was late for work.

Ruby had slept much better by his side, she stirred slowly as she felt the sun warm her face.
She turned into Victor's chest, cuddling close as she tried to shield her eyes, she still wasn't completely awake and she most certainly wasn't ready to get up just yet.

She turned in towards him, her nose grazing his chest as she breathed peacefully. He raised his free arm to her hair, illuminated by morning sunlight, and ran his fingers through it.
Reflexively, Ruby's long lanky leg hiked up over his, stretching and then relaxing. His heart was beginning to beat faster. He didn't want to taint this moment with lustful thoughts. He brought her in closer to him, both arms around her. She felt so good in his arms...so... right... He sighed as he closed his blue eyes again.

Finally Ruby's mind started cleared of the drowsy morning haze. Her eyes fluttered open, her cheek rested against Victors chest. It certainly wasn't a bad thing, but it only took her a moment to realize that he had very little clothing on- something failed to recognize last night.
She looked up at him and blushed a little as she moved her leg,"Good morning," she whispered gently.

"Good morning..." He replied back. he didn't want to move... but she was already shifting away.
Bad morning breath? He suddenly grew self-conscious. He reached for his pants to hide the insecurity on his face. He had a message from Gretta. He grimaced, laying back down. "Looks like I'm being forced to take the day off. Thank you David Noland..."

"Well...." Ruby looked at Victor,"If anything good comes out of this... At least I can make you a decent breakfast.."
She sat up a little and stretched before slidding out of bed,"Unless you want to stay in bed, that's definitely okay..." She yawned a little and peeled off her sweater,"after the little show we got from Dracula... I could see where you might want to sleep in a bit"

"I don't think I'm going to get much more sle-" he halted, cause he had casually turned his head to look at her... and she had shed off the sweater to reveal a flimsy tank top, the pertness of her breasts devastatingly prominent under the thin fabric. He shot up from the couch bed and pulled up his pants over his boxer briefs, trying to hide any embarrassing evidence of attraction. His self restraint could only do so much against the power of visual stimulation.
"SLEEP... nope. Done sleeping. Time to start the day, right? RIGHT." He tugged his shirt over, what he believed was a less then appealing physic compared to Ruby's sculpted body. "I... need to use the bathroom..." He made his way over and shut the door behind him.

She blinked and watched him hurry off to her bathroom. Had she been a bit more awake she might have put it together that her clothes were a bit more revealing then would be comfortable, but she was no morning person. That was something she'd realize later.
Red wandered over to her dresser and started to undress, he was in the bathroom right? No big deal. She found her shorts and waitresses apron. Once fully dressed she opened up her drawer to find the 'nearly endless supply' of red lipstick.
She started reapplying her standard look while she waited for Victor.
