Serena smiled as he bit a her bottom lip, causing it to slip out from between his teeth. She rested her head against him, "You know I'm fine with," she ran one of her thumbs over the circle under his eye, "Besides, I like you best with some colour in your cheeks," She teased. 

She leaned back on the bed as he called and later took the feeder into the bathroom. She stayed there for a short while before she rolled over and put on some music to cover any sounds that came from the bathroom. She loved how kind Sebastian was about it all, always cleaning up before he came back out, ensuring that she didn't see anything. His family, well his parents, hadn't been as kind. They had walked out more than once with blood on their faces, even after Sebastian asked for them not to. It always took her a while to calm Sebastian down those nights. 

She smiled when Sebastian came back into the room, pulling her head away from the visit with his family. She could already see the blood in his cheek and the circles were gone. If you asked Serena, she'd say that she always thought Sebastian was handsome but she truly did think he looked his best with some blood in him. She laughed, kicking her legs, as he tickled her and told her he had ordered their food. She nodded her head, speaking between laughs and gasps, "I'm... Starving! I could... eat a pizza... to myself."

When he stopped and pulled her hair away and kissed her neck, she smiled softly. There was time that she panicked when he touched her neck and here she was, comfortable with him pressing his lips to it. These were always the moments when she realized how far she had come. She played a little with his hair and sighed a little, "I think I could live with the whole world against us... So long as you still love me."

Gunner stuffed his other hand into his pocket and looked at her as she told him he could be angry, "Thanks..." he said simply in response. 

He held his hand though a moment later, stopping her from continuing to speak. After all she was rambling which meant she was nervous and Gunner could understand that. After all, she left with him with no explanation and now.... He didn't want it. He took a moment, holding hand in front of him before he spoke, "It's fine," However there was a edge in his voice that seemed to give away that it was not as he said, "I don't need an explanation... Just as you didn't need mine. Let's see.... You ignored all the invites because you didn't want to see me. I mean... I'm the only person that you hurt when you took off like you did... I don't see you running away from the Elites because they weren't giving you the attention you wanted... You ran away from me... Simple as that."

He walked over to the vodka bottle and grabbed a shot glass, taking the time to fill it before he looked at her again, "It was nice to see you again, Anna.... It's been too long."
