You're A Dangerous Woman ** (MAGDALENA)

Magdalena started to grin as he so confidently responded, not doubting his ability to wake her up in the morning. "Food will help." she hinted. Might as well make it easier on him.

She felt him begin to move long before she saw it, Nikolai shift as if to... Oh she'd guessed right. Her eyes widened just a bit, but she found herself leaning away from him, in the direction he was pushing her until she was laying flat on her back and he was straddling her. She grinned up at him, laying still. "And what are you going to do now that you've got me?"

"I know about the food! Remember, last time I brought you some?" He smiled gently. He had brought a big array of food as well as coffee, and she seemed a bit happier after that because of what he had bought. But Nikolai knew she didn't like waking up, however...with him in bed with her, that might be a different story.

Her grin made him ecstatic knowing he made her happy enough to actually grin at him. Niko tilted his head back and forth a few times, pretending like he was thinking real hard. "Hm..." Should Nikolai offer to go to bed with her, or should he just kiss her? "Well...I wouldn't mind taking you to bed...but..." He leaned forward, touching their noses as he looked into her eyes. Looking down at her lips and back up again, he smirked. Niko's lips touched hers, extremely softly, as he gave her a long, loving kiss.

"I remember. Don't forget the chocolate chip muffins for yourself." she'd told him she'd remember details like that.

The way his head tilted back and forth as he contemplated was absolutely adorable. She tilted her own head just a little as she waited for his response. Trying to decide just what he might come up with. When he spoke though, it wasn't the response she expected. It was bold, especially for him. But he'd been getting more and more bold by the day so it shouldn't have surprised her. "But what...?" what was making him hesitate? That was when she realized he wasn't hesitating. It was he had other ideas. He leaned down until their noses touched and, for that first moment it tickled. Magdalena scrunched her nose up ever so slightly. But then he stopped, deciding that kissing her was a better option. She preferred it too. She grinned into the soft kiss, wrapping her hands around the back of his neck and pulling him a little closer and deeper into the kiss.

Nikolai laughed. Of course she'd remember something as simple and crazy as that. "Well hey, at least you know my favorite muffin!"

She hadn't expected him to kiss her as she asked what he meant. He just smirked at her without response, but Niko was sure she understood after he kissed her. Nikolai loved it when she scrunched up her nose. That was probably the cutest thing he had ever seen her do... Even though he hadn't really known her that long. As that thought made its way to his brain, Niko knew that was important. "Are you ready for bed? And what's your favorite color?" Randomness was his specialty.

Magdalena grinned as he laughed. She had a good memory, as he knew. She still remembered his wand for example. All the measurements and personality of it. The more she got to know him, the more and more his wand made sense. After the kiss he mentioned bed once more. This time asking if she was ready for bed. She was opening her mouth to respond when he added the color bit. "What?" she asked in surprise before realizing what he'd asked. "Oh. Yellow probably." she smiled a little after words. "And if you are, so am I."

She sounded extremely shocked and he gave her a confused look as to why she said why that way, but it was quickly followed by her favorite house. "Ah... You little badger." Nikolai gave her a grin. She was such a cute Hufflepuff. His eyes looked at her face and he pushed himself up, standing. Thinking pretty quickly, Niko bent over, and he put one arm under her legs and another under her back and he scooped her up off the ground. "I'm very ready." He winked at her, his voice low and rough. He turned his neck to make sure the door was locked and then walked in the direction of her bedroom.

Once entering, he gave her a quick kiss and... well, threw her on the bed. He winked at her. Niko walked into her bathroom to rinse his face and brush his teeth with his finger. When walking back into the bedroom, it didn't take him much longer to strip down to his underwear. Niko had a slight tinge of pink to his cheeks as this was the most open he had ever been around anyone, let alone a girl. He stood at the edge of the bed, waiting for her to say something.

Magdalena made a face as he accused her of being a badger. "What's wrong with badgers?" she countered. Yes, she'd been in Hufflepuff. But so were two of his own sisters. She cracked a smile after that, but that smile vanished the moment he got up, as if put out that he'd moved away. She propped herself up on her elbows and raised an eyebrow at him, silently demanding an answer, which she got almost immediately as he scooped her up with ease. Her arms quickly wrapped around his shoulders. "No dropping me." she demanded softly, but that grin that had appeared made her seem far less commanding then she'd hoped.

He carried her into the bedroom, swiftly kissed her, and tossed her onto the bed without a second thought or a single word. She laughed softly, sitting up on the bed as he disappeared into the bathroom. He hadn't told her she had to stay on the bed.... And to be honest, she didn't like the idea of sleeping in her dancers outfit. In fact, she'd rather just sleep in her underwear, but he'd freaked out the last time he'd seen her wearing so little. So, she'd compromise. Rolling off the bed, she quickly changed into a plain gray nightshirt that hit her upper thigh. She pulled her hair back into a messy bun, and closed the bedroom door. Nikolai wasn't a fan of the cats, obviously. So he'd probably appreciate them not crawling all over him in the middle of the night. She'd just barely sat back down on the bed when he came out of the bathroom, finally stripping down to his underwear and blushing. She already knew that she liked when he blushed, but right now even more so. Shifting on the bed, she crawled over to the end, where he was standing, waiting, and held out a hand to him. "Come here, Nikolai." She used the same form of command that he often used on her intentionally. Her smile was soft, reassuring, hoping he'd continue trusting her.

"Absolutely nothing! You know my sister's are badgers as well. I don't have anything against them." Nikolai gave her a smirk, hoping she knew he was just joking around. Badgers had just been a nickname that most people used at Hogwarts to tell someone when they were a Hufflepuff or not; Niko in general didn't have many friends while at Hogwarts, but he did know people from each house. For some reason, he just hadn't remembered her. "Come on, why would I drop you?"

As soon as he came out of the bathroom, there she was, sitting on the edge of the bed on a simple t-shirt and what he presumed was just underwear. Magi had thrown her hair up into a bun and did she look more gorgeous than ever. Niko looked at her longingly, the lust apparent in his green eyes. When she held her hand out and spoke to him, his heart skipped a beat and he felt his face flush. Her voice was wonderful. Nikolai reached out and grabbed her hand, and he lifted a knee up onto the bed, waiting to see if she'd pull him or not.

Magdalena saw the look he had fixated on her. That look of longing, of knowing what he wanted and that being her. Each time she saw that look she stilled for a moment, holding her breath to see how he might act on the emotion. This time, he took her hand, which was enough of an answer for her to proceed.

Slowly she started to pull him towards her and onto the bed. The closer she pulled him to herself though the farther she moved away, sliding back until her back hit the head board. She kept pulling him closer though, never letting go of his hand until he close right up next to her. Releasing his hand, she reached up to place her hand on his cheek and leaned in to delicately kiss him. "Good night, Nikolai. " she wasn't going to push him any farther tonight. He had problems with touching already, and she was pretty sure that included intimacy.

Magi pulled him closer and closer, sliding her own body backwards until she reached the head end of the bed. He crawled up there and lied down on his right side. Nikolai bent his elbow and rested his head on it. She leaned forward and grabbed the side of his face before giving him a gentle kiss. Niko kissed her back sweetly, enjoying the feeling of her hands on his face. "Good night, Magdalena."

He turned into his back, his elbow up so she had room to snuggle up next to him. Nikolai watched her, and studied her facial features so he'd never forget them, and soon he closed his eyes...

Nikolai was in a dark room. He didn't know where, and he couldn't see anything. He heard muffled voices... They sounded as if they were coming from above. Niko's heart was racing, he tried to talk but he couldn't make a noise. Even waking and moving seemed impossible. What happened? Was he taken again? Where was Magdalena? Where were her cats? He couldn't hear their stupid meows. And then a light shown in through a door, and his breath got caught in his throat. Oh no. They were coming for him... They were coming to get him... Everything was wrong bad again and he wouldn't have anyone to save him this time... The foot steps grew louder and louder, ringing in his ears, until he saw a black figure come towards him. Niko couldn't breathe, and as soon as he felt the black figure's fingers touching him, he awoke...

Nikolai's eyes opened to a dark room, and he screamed.

@jill9

Magdalena curled up on her side, pressed right up next to him with one hand under her own head and the other on his chest. She met his gaze for several minutes before finally sitting up and pulling the blankets over them. Only then, once she resettled in that same position, did she let out a soft breath and close her eyes finally letting herself fall asleep.

Magdalena didn't know how long they slept. What she did know though was that at one point she woke up. She didn't know why at first, until she felt Nikolai fidgeting next to her. Her hand was still against his chest, right over his heart, and she could beating frantically. She immediately propped herself up on her other elbow, looking down at his sleeping face. It'd been serene the last time she'd woken and looked at him, but now? There was fear, panic. A bad dream? "Nikolai? Wake u-" She started to say softly. That was what you were supposed to do when people had bad dreams right? But before she could even get the words out his eyes shot open and he screamed. Her eyes widened, and she jumped, her own heart racing from surprise. "It's okay, Nikolai. It's okay, it was just a dream." She tried to reassure him, sitting up completely at this point and pulling her hand away from his chest.

After he had let out the scream, he frantically looked back and forth, trying to find something familiar to what he knew. Something familiar to what was at his own apartment. Niko heard a voice, but it didn't filter into his brain, he couldn't register the voice and stick it with a face, all he knew was that he didn't feel safe. He didn't know where he was.

As soon as he turned his head and saw the figure, he yelled, "NO!" Nikolai scrambled off the bed, tears beginning to run down his face, fear settling in. He had his arms out straight, trying to find a door. But he couldn't. He crawled over to the corner of the room, tears running down his face, his body drenched in wet, his eyes wide. Nikolai pulled his knees up to his chest. "Go away... don't hurt me..." He sobbed.

@jill9

Magdalena wasn't expecting him to.... well freak out. Not to this degree. She flinched at his shout and quick movement, getting out of the bed faster then she could follow. It was dark, but enough moonlight from the window coming through to at least let her follow him. She couldn't see clearly enough to see the tears, but she knew he was upset. By the dream. So much so that he seemed to have forgotten where he was. At last he settled in the corner, curling up, sobbing loud enough that she could hear and begging her to go away and not hurt him. She felt a sharp pain in her heart. She knew she shouldn't be hurt by the comment. He was just freaked out. He didn't mean it. And yet.... She swallowed, forcing the pain back down. Slowly she moved, not towards him though, she turned to the nightstand, and flicked the lamp on. Hopefully having some light might help him calm down. She made no attempt to get close to him, knowing he wouldn't let her right now. "I'd never hurt you." she spoke softly.

Nikolai heard footsteps again and he opened his eyes abruptly, his eyes were red and the tears continued falling down his face. When he looked up through his blurry eyes, he saw her figure. He saw her hair, up in the bun. He saw her T-shirt. Tears kept falling. She whispered that she'd never hurt him. The light turning on made Niko jump and flinch as she walked closer. "I...I..." Nikolai didn't know what to say. He was scared, embarrassed, and crying.

@jill9

Magdalena stopped moving. Just froze the moment she saw him flinch. She moved back to the bed, giving him as much space as he needed, and sat down there. Whatever it was he'd dreamed about, it'd shaken him, seriously. Even when she'd intentionally invaded his space before he'd permitted her, he hadn't acted this freaked out. It'd only lasted a few moments. Right now though... This wasn't panic. It was terror. Deep, powerful terror. And she wanted to help him. Desperately wanted to cross the room to him and put her arms around him and tell him it'd be alright. But she couldn't. Not yet. And it killed her not being able to do anything. He tried to speak, but nothing really.... came out. Just the same word, as if unable to form any other words after that. She didn't move from her spot on the bed. "You're at my apartment, Nikolai. Remember?" She softly asked, hoping that something might eventually snap him out of this.
