Camp Half-Blood; After the War

It was exactly 1:53 in the morning on the island. Xander was lying in his bed staring at the ceiling. He didn't like sleep, because he always dreamt of his mother, and the night she died. He would never tell anyone that though. It made him vulnerable, and that's one thing he didn't want to be. As he finally closed his eyes and started drifting off to sleep, there was a knock at his bedroom door, and it slightly started to open.

"Who's there?"

"It's me. Alex. Were you asleep? Can I come in?"

Xander sighed, he was too tired for people, but since he liked the girl, he could never say no to her, "Almost, but yeah come in." He sat up in his bed and leaned against the wall. "What can I do for ya?"

"I couldn't sleep, and I uh, didn't wanna be alone. You're the only person I could think of who just MIGHT be awake at this hour." she smiled at him apologetically.

"Well, I'm exhausted, so I was gonna go to sleep." He scooted over a little and pat the spot next to him, "You're welcome to stay."

"Are you sure? I mean, isn't this against the rules? I probably shouldn't even be out of my manor right now."

"But you already are. And so what, what's life without break a few rules?"

Xander wasn't exactly sure why he was actually inviting a girl to sleep with him. Sure, he's had girls sleep with him before, but that was for something entirely different, tonight he just wanted to sleep. Nothing more, and nothing less.
