Where the head of the institute does the work.

--------------------------------------------------------
Clover lay on the floor of the office, knowing Drake would show up, she prepared to hold her breath. She looked dead.

Drake stumbled in, he sighed and seeing Clover frowned, "Clover. I'm so sorry. " he slurred leaning on the wall for support.

Clover opened one eye "Your drunk..." she sighed and sat up "You are drunk!"

Drake laughed, "No I'm not." he said and bent down. Sitting next to her he smiled, "So pretty. So so pretty."

Clover frowned "What are you blabbering about?"

Drake grinned, "You. You're so pretty. I love you." he said smiling and kissing her cheek and pulling her against his chest.

Clover blinked, stunned and confused, before laying her head on his chest and listening to his heartbeat. He was drunk right? he'd forget?

Drake smiled and kissed her cheek, "Hmmm I'll never forget you Clover." he said and kissed her neck softly.

Clover moaned softly "Your drunk" she whispered again. "Very very drunk'

Drake smiled, "I'm sober." he mumbled against the soft pale skin of her neck, kissing her skin again. He smiled, "So much better than I imagined."

Clover's eyes widened and she jerked away "You are what!?" she demanded with a shake of her head "You tricked me!! You tricked me!"

Drake chuckled, "You tricked me first." he said and pulled her back against his chest. "You love me too. Admit it."

Clover's heart raced a bit more, she blushed and swallowed nervously "I will admit something that drastic the day hell freezes over" she whispered, shaking. She loved him.

Drake chuckled and kissed her neck again, a trail of soft kisses. "Relax dear. I wont tell anyone of your burning love for me." he whispered chuckling softly.

Clover moaned and tilted her head back "and who would ever dream of such a crazy idea?" she breathed out

Drake smiled, and chuckled, "Sweetie you are lovely but you are too stubborn for your own good." he said and kissed her lips.

Clover moaned and her hands went on his chest as she returned the kiss

Drake pulled away slightly and chuckled, "I knew it.", he said and smiled at her kindly. "I knew you loved me."

Clover blushed "you--you need to shut up" she snapped at him with a threatening glare

Grinning at her Drake kissed her neck and massaged her shoulders lightly, murmuring against her skin, "I do?" he asked.

Clover nodded "you may be older than me but I am still head of the institution" she laughed slightly and relaxed into his hold

Drake smiled and held her close, "No way. I'm above that." he chuckled and toyed with a curl of her hair.

Clover rose an eyebrow "perhaps that is why you never listen to me"

Drake smiled, "I never listen to you, because if I did you'd hardly give me the time of day. I had to find someway to get you to notice me." he said softly, his heart beating loud and strong.

Clover smiled softly at the sound and closed her eyes while she listened to it "Look at us" she whispered "When did it ever become of what we are now? Completely doe eyed for each other"

Drake smiled, "I've always been doe-eyed for you. Since the moment I walked into this institute and saw you throwing a fit over not being able to go on a mission because you had a cold."

Clover smirked "And I got my way if I remember correctly-- father couldn't keep me from sneaking into the carriage" she chuckled

Drake chuckled and nodded, "And that was the start of my burning passion for you." he said softly.

Clover opened one eye and her eyebrow rose "Burning passion eh? Is that why you always steal my food and end up finding me whenever I'm nearly naked?"

Drake chuckled, "The nearly naked thing is purely good timing. Stealing your food is because I love to see you get upset. Its adorable how easy you are riled up."

Clover sighed "I curse inheriting my father's temper more and more everyday." she muttered under her breath.

Drake frowned, "Why? I love your temper." he smiled and kissed her head, "It makes loving you a constant surprise and adventure."

Clover rolled her eyes "Put your sappy comments in a bottle and cork it Drake" she muttered under her breath

Draoe frowned, "It's the truth." he said frowning at her. "Why dont you believe me?"

Clover sighed and stood up and out of his hold, she bunched up her dress in her hands and sighed "Because Drake-- I have never seen you serious in a day of your life." Clover shook her head really just in denial that someone could like her in a way that wasn't just bound by friendship

Drake scowled, "Because every time I'm serious you're ill or wounded or unconsious." he said and stood, following over to her side. "Why cant you see how much I love you?"

Clover's breathing picked up slightly "I really should head out; there was a demon sighting." she whispered "Possibly a powerful one by the looks of it. I should really check it out"

Drake frowned and kissed her cheek, "Please don't go. I'll check it out. You need to rest, last I heard you were very ill." he said smirkig and toying with her hair.

Clover blushed "Well I had to get you to the institute somehow didn't i?" She blushed more

Drake chuckled, "So you couldve just asked me." he said smirking and looking deeply into her eyes.

Clover shrugged "I wanted to see how badly you would freak out to be honest"

Drake frowned, "Why? I was willing to die. To kill myself." he said softly frowning and shaking his head.

Clover froze "What?" She whispered with a shake of her head "WHY!?"

Drake frowned, "Because without you, i have nothing to live for. I have no family. No friends. Only you." he said frowning at her.

Clover frowned more and shook her head "What about Candy? All our other housemates. They are our family as well"

"A family that can never truely accept me. Majorty of them are far too worried I'm like my brother or my parents. That I'll betray them all." Drake said and shook his head. "I hate living that way."

Clover frowned "I know you aren't like that" she shrugged and stood up "You are far to annoying and rambunctious to be a man that would betray someone"

Drake shook his head, "No way. I could just be a very good actor." he said and shrugged.

Clover chuckled with a roll of her eyes "You could never betray anyone. That I know for sure"

Drake sighed, "Are you sure?" he said softly and shook his head, "You dont know me as well as you think you do."
