"I know." I buried my fingers in his hair, pulling him closer. "Let's sleep."
"Mmhm."
We were snoring together in less than a minute.

I wokeup before Darius the next afternoon. My phone was missing, so I grabbed his off the mattress and pulled up the main social media site he used, to kill some time.
There were pictures posted of us, and the posters had tagged him.
As I looked through them, I bit my lip.
The pictures weren't bad.
They were... cute, honestly.
Photos of us teasing each other while we ate way too many corn dogs.
Pictures of him basically carrying me to our car.
Images of us snuggled up together on the river bank, talking.
I liked them.
Hell, Ilovedthem. To the point of saving the images and texting them to myself.
My phone would appear eventually.
After a moment of hesitation, I scrolled through the pictures Darius had taken of us together. I found one where we were snuggled up on the couch with our headsets around our necks. A blanket was draped over both of us while I sat on Dare's lap, and he was kissing my cheek while I made a face at the camera. The smile in my eyes was ridiculously obvious.
We looked happy.
So, insanely happy.
I posted the picture to Dare's page with a simple caption.
Officially introducing Dare & Raven Scorch
Raven Scorch wasn't a fabulous name... but it was mine.
And I loved it, if just because it tied me and Darius together.
I exited the page before the likes and comments started coming in, just in case.
"What are you doing? Your heart is racing," Dare mumbled against my shoulder, where his face was pressed against my bone in a way that couldn't have been comfortable for him.
"Claiming you," I said simply.
His chest rumbled. "Finally. Can my life revolve around you now?"
I dragged my fingers through his hair. "As long as you still have hobbies."
"I'll have so many hobbies."
"Like..."
