Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

Penelope shifted to lean back against a nearby tree as she waited for Gavin to fall asleep. It didn't seem to take long for the male knight to pass out comfortably on his mat and soon her attention shifted over to Crow as he got up to join her. She returned the kiss with equal passion, wrapping her arms around him. She grinned and leaned her head back slightly as he moved away from her lips. She gave a faint nod at his words and followed him into the forest. The knight was still tired but feeling her heart beat excitedly in her chest, she was able to push past it for now.

As they came into the other clearing and he kissed her again, Penelope grinned against his lips and was about to slip her arms around him again when she felt him already beginning to lift her shirt off. Even though the knight wasn't fully awake, she did still notice his impatience. However, she didn't dwell on it long. Instead, the knight went along with it, thinking it was likely because of her voicing her concern about abandoning her shift for too long, and let him remove the clothing. She pressed a few kisses along his neck before she took his tunic her hand and pulled it off of him.

Pressing into him, she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him fervently before smirking coyly at him and pulling him down to the group with her...

Penelope panted as she caught her breath, laying on her back in the grass. She let out a peaceful exhale and then turned on her side to face him. Wrapping an arm around him, she shifted closer to Crow and rested her head against his. "Gods, I love you, Cr-Colin." she mumbled softly to him as she closed her eyes. Tired, the knight stumbled a bit over his name, as she had been more used to calling him Crow in recent days due to someone else always being around. Now that they were alone though, she had been determined to use it at least once.

They are cx

Yeah but only after they said they were going to promote me and then took forever to do it. They aren't pushing me to quit. The problem is that they really just want to keep me on the front end and not give me a promotion because they need me up there since I'm a combo clerk and they only have like 3 of those right now. And I hate the front end and I've been there for three years so I'm over waiting lol So that's why I'm having problems with them

Penelope raised an eyebrow at him as he grinned at her. She was about to question him when the thief suddenly began tickling her. "Crow." she protested in a fit of giggles as she squirmed against him. As Rikki spoke up, she glanced over at the female thief and felt a hint of embarrassment. Though she didn't particularly care what Rikki thought, she did feel a bit bad about them being noisy while the others were trying to sleep.

As he loosened his grip on her, she rolled off of him and settled down on the mat besides him. Penelope nodded her head in agreement with his words and closed her eyes as she settled down for the night besides him. "Goodnight, Crow. I love you too." she whispered. It didn't take long for the knight to fall asleep. Being rather tired, she was out almost instantly.

"..lope"

She heard a distant voice and then felt someone shake her side, causing for the knight to stirr from her rather deep sleep. Penelope let out a groan, reluctant to move as she was warm and comfortably nestled besides the thief. Would it really be so wrong to wait a couple more minutes before getting up? The heaviness of her eyelids told her that it wouldn't so the knight didn't move.

"Penelope, it's your shift."

Now able to distinguish that it was Gavin waking her, she forced her eyes open and slowly sat up. She squinted as she looked up groggily at the male knight that was standing over her. Rubbing her eyes as she strained to both focus them as well as fully wake up, she mumbled quietly, "I'm up, I'm up." Now a little more awake, she noticed that Gavin seemed worn out and a little impatient. His eyes told of how tired he was and she felt a stab of guilt for taking so long to wake up. "Sorry.. I guess I didn't hear you the first time.."

"Try the first three times.." Gavin sighed. "You were really difficult to wake up."

"Well, I'm up now so go get some sleep." she told him quietly. "You look like you need it."

Gavin gave her a small nod before walking off to lay down for the night. Penelope watched him go for a moment before stretching out her arms as she tried to jostle herself awake. Despite her words to the other knight, she still felt half asleep and was far too tempted to merely lay back down. She needed something to wake her up a bit more. Or perhaps someone.

Her gaze flickered to Crow besides her and she leaned over to press a kiss to his cheek. "Gavin just went to lay down. We should be able to leave soon." she whispered to him before she moved to stand up.

Penelope likes that xD

Yeah xD
I'm not sure. Honestly the reason I'm kinda considering looking for a new job is because it feels like I keep having to fight them and push for them to hurry up and promote me already. literally had to almost quit for them to finally start the process I did all the only training but now I need like the actual training and my manager was suppose to speak with the manager of floral to arrange that soon but I don't think he has

Following him over to set up the mat, she let her gaze drift around at the others. It seemed the others felt just as tired as her, with two of them already fast asleep. She glanced towards Gavin, who had moved to take his position for his watch, and noticed him leaning against a nearby tree with his arms crossed over his chest. Though not overly obvious, she could tell the male knight was fighting off his weariness from the day. He seemed to shift rather often, as if attempting to shake off the desire to sleep.

She turned back to Crow as he finished setting up the mat and moved to join him. Almost as soon as she sat down, she felt the thief suddenly wrap his arms around her middle. The knight blinked in surprise as he fell back and held her tightly against himself. "Don't you dare." she laughed softly and rolled her eyes playfully at him. At first, the knight, wiggled against him, trying to free herself from his grip. However, she was unable and shook her head at the thief.

Penelope ceased her bit of struggling and looked down at him with a smirk. "Careful what you joke about." she warned teasingly. "Because I might just be tempted enough to sleep like this for real." She leaned down and pressed a kiss to his lips before moving to nestle her head against his. Though it wasn't the most comfortable position, it certainly wouldn't be too difficult for her to fall asleep on him.

Penelope caved pretty easily xD

That's bad xD
I think my work is a little better. I need to double check but I believe it's like a dollar raise. plus it gets me off the front end and off the cash register so I count that as a bonus in itself lol

Penelope glanced up at him as he spoke up again slid his arm around her waist. She thought over his words, already beginning to be swayed by them as he pressed a kiss to her neck. It had been a while since they had managed to be alone and there was no guaranteeing the next day would provide them with a better opportunity, especially if their lead did pan out like she hoped it would. Plus, if they tried to slip away before everyone went to bed, that would likely leave Gavin and Rikki alone together since she doubted Olivia and Alistair would be around as well. The thought of leaving those two alone together was a bit unsettlingly as she guessed the best she could hope for was a tense silence between them, if not more conflict. Perhaps it wouldn't be so terrible to sneak away with him for a little bit.

"So stubborn." Penelope said in an affectionate mumble. She gave a soft chuckle and smiled up at him. "Alright we can go during my shift then." she said, finally giving in. The knight had already been tempted so all it took was another small push for her to cave. However, she wasn't certain she wanted to take him up on his offer with taking over her shift. Penelope trusted him to be able to handle it fine but she'd feel a bit guilty with putting the work onto him. They had all had a long day and it was supposed to be her shift not his.

"As for covering me," she paused and shrugged her shoulders. "I'll try to do it myself.. I'm kinda tired right now but I might be ok once we get some sleep. I don't want you to get stuck with having to do my work." Penelope leaned away from him so she could get up to her feet. The knight stretched as she stood up and then looked back down at him with a small, tired smile. "Speaking of which, we should probably get to bed then." she said, holding out her hand to him.

True xD That's the part Gavin's going to struggle with the most lol

Yeah I just have to see how it goes at my work a little longer before I make any decisions cx
Yeah but not a very big one. So it's debatable if it's even worth it xD

At his reply, she smiled, glad to hear that their sleeping arrangements hadn't changed. Once the mission was over, it was unlikely they'd have any other opportunities to spend so much time together so she was still hoping they could make the most of it, despite the additional members to their search. As he leaned in closer, Penelope looked over at him and raised an eyebrow at his mischievous expression.

The knight shivered slightly at the feeling of his warm breath on her ear. His words were tempting and sent her heart racing excitedly. However, she was a bit reluctant to agree since it would compromise her guard shift a bit. "I don't know.." she mumbled, shifting with uncertainty. "I want to but I'm not so sure I should be abandoning my shift while we're out looking for murderous criminals."

Penelope leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Maybe we can find sometime tomorrow after we talk to the villagers to slip away from the others." she suggested quietly. She shifted closer to the thief and rested her head against his shoulder. She brushed her lips against his neck. "It'd probably be best to wait anyways.. All this traveling has me tired tonight.." she mumbled as she let another small yawn.

Gavin's going to be even harder to fool in the morning cx

I'm not sure. They're in the process of promoting me and once they do that should guarantee me 24 hours a week so I might just stay. If not though, I'll probably start looking for a different job. legit only have like 16 hours next week
