Title: Sleeplessness (XVIII)
Rating: PG
Length: 170 words
Competitor: Raoul
Round/Fight: 1/C
Summary: Her thoughts keep her awake.
It’s hard to sleep, even within the comfortable confines of his strong arms. She’s exhausted, but restless. Snoring lightly, he spoons her, wrapping his huge frame around hers protectively. She can feel his breath on her neck. He inhales, and she grows cold; with each exhale, her skin is warm and moist. She wonders, as she lies in his embrace, if she loves him.
She’s loved him since she was a squire, certainly. But what kind of love? When she first became a knight, she saw him as a friend as much as a father figure. Has she ever contemplated him as a lover? There had been moments when she wondered what his kisses would feel like, but she had shaken her head and reclaimed her senses.
Now her senses are turned about, with so many questions. They aren’t unfamiliar ones; she’s asked herself all of these questions a hundred times before – but Raoul is the new factor in the internal debate. She finally drifts off to an agitated sleep.

Why must you overanalyze??
She almost told him before! *sigh* *goes to find next one*
Maybe once we'd have seen it during Smackdown!
