"Game." I set my last card down, smirking. Desca sighed.
"How do you keep winning?" He asked, gathering the cards up and shuffling the deck.
"I am the lord of Uno! Fear me!" I laughed rather manically.
It was about 11:00 PM. Jolan had left a few hours ago, before her parents could get worried. Desca and I had been playing various card games since then.
"Do you want to play again?" He asked, still shuffling.
I shook my head. "I'm getting tired. Speaking of which, we should figure out some sleeping arrangements for you." I looked at him sheepishly. "You could sleep in my parent's bed, but, well, you smell kind of strongly. Not in a bad way, just, kinda smoky."
He chuckled. "That's a trait us dragon demons usually have."
"Would you mind sleeping on the couch?'
"Not at all."
"I'll get some blankets."
He put his hand on my shoulder. "Won't that cause the same problems as me sleeping in the vacant bed?"
I laughed. "I can wash blankets, but not mattresses."
"Oh."
A few minutes later, I carried a couple of blankets down and arranged them on the couch, using a decorative throw pillow for him to rest his head on. As I straightened up, I noticed that he had an odd look on his face.
"Is something wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing." He said, a slight blush betraying his lie. I rolled my eyes.
"Something's bothering you. Tell me." I said, putting my hands on my hips.
He looked down. "Well," He murmured, "It's just, well, my family- well, most families on my world- share a room for sleeping in, and, well-"
"Wait here." I interrupted him, and proceeded to dash up the stairs. I grabbed my pillow and a couple of blankets off of my bed, and then went back into the living room, where I put my stuff on the loveseat. I looked at Desca, who was standing next to the couch, scuffing his foot against the floor.
"I'm really sorry about his." He said, looking guiltily up at me. I grinned.
"No problem. Goodnight, Desca."
"Goodnight, Heather. Thank you, for everything."
"You're welcome."
I turned the lights off and lay down, quickly falling asleep to the sound of his soft snoring.

Yep, the dragon snores. XD
This chapter was hard. I hate writers block. XP
