Rating: G
Prompt: #8, Strange Bedfellows
Words: 134 words
Summary: They are strange bedfellows, he and she.
He
When Briar wakes up in the night, gasping breath through clenched teeth so as not to scream, she is there. She says nothing, but sits with him, and together, they both fall asleep. This time, her body pressed against his, Briar doesn’t dream.
She
When Sandry wakes up in the night, feeling the darkness close in on her, she nearly screams and panics in fright. She feels Briar’s warmth against the thin sheets, and settles down. This time, she falls asleep, snug against him, without dreams of unmagic and death.
They
When they wake up in the morning, with the light streaming through open windows, Briar laughs off the terrors nightfall brings. Sandry threatens to let him sleep on his own or to short-sheet his bed. Lark and Rosethorn smile but say nothing.

So yeah, I don't think anyone could tell if it was romantic or platonic.
