A Peaceful Night Together

Walking endlessly through the desert was starting to take its toll on the members of Team Core-Tech when they settled down for the night after it had become too dangerous to continue. Everyone felt parched and exhausted from their tireless trek through the hot and humid sands but they couldn't risk using their Monsuno in fear of their enemies spotting them. So when they finally stopped, they immediately collapsed onto the ground like rag dolls.

"If I'm not moving by the morning then assume my legs are broken and carry me." Bren moaned as he rolled on his back. His chest slowly moving up and down with every breath he took.

Dax gave a half-hearted laugh. "If you don't move? I don't think I'll be able to walk another step tomorrow if I don't get enough sleep tonight."

"Then I suggest that we all go to sleep and rest so we can all move tomorrow." Chase said with a hint of irritation in his voice, he rolled on his side with his arms crossed behind his head like a makeshift pillow.

Beyal shook his head and placed one hand over his chest. "I'll stay up a bit longer to make sure it's safe for us."

"Are you sure Beyal? You look the most roughed up out of all of us, I can take the first watch-" Jinja offered before Beyal raised a finger and placed it on her lips. Stopping her from speaking further with a blush on her cheeks.

Beyal gave her a smile. "I'll be fine Jinja. You need to sleep, I'll wake you and the others if anything is wrong."

Jinja looked at him like she was about to protest but her eyelids were starting to fail on her. The others had already fallen asleep and she was on the brink of joining them. But before her body shut down on her, she used up the rest of her strength to sit beside Beyal and lean her head on his shoulder. The Monk blushed at her desire to be so intimate with him, but her peaceful face stopped him from reacting loudly.

He found himself looking at her with a desire he's never experienced before. Her lips looked so soft and inviting in the pale moonlight that the thought of kissing her goodnight popped into his head which made him start to blush even harder. But her presence on his shoulder wasn't uncomfortable. He actually found it soothing and warm even though his heart was racing a million miles a minute. Before he even knew what he was doing, Beyal kissed the top of Jinja's head before laying his own head on top of hers.

"Sweet dreams Jinja..." Beyal whispered to the sleeping girl and he stayed up for a good couple of hours before eventually passing out. With the stars shining above them and the moon blanketing them in a pale light, everything seemed angelic and almost heavenly. The pair of almost lovers sleeping peacefully together in sweet harmony.
