Although the two of them wanted to do something spectacular, they must note the time. They still had to freshen up and Serena was feeling tired.
"Rest a little first, I will wake you up after 30 minutes." Charlton said as he lied next to her.
Serena snuggled to his chest humming her agreement as she closed her eyes.
Charlton saw the fatigue in Serena's eyes, he took it as her being tired with all the responsibility she's been under. Unlike him, she was part of the student council attending meetings, heading the program committee for the ball next week along with Leonard, composing music, and even studying for her subjects to maintain her grades all at the same time.
A guilty part of him just wanted to keep her all to himself. However, even when he couldn't fly alongside her, he should not try and clip her wings. Thus, all he can do was continue to support her.
