Ashley laid face down pressed against the hard wood floor of the Astronomy tower, surrounded by a large star map her face resting on her arms, it was not Wednesday, she didn't have any classes that night or early morning as your could call it now she did however have an extra credit assignment that she was working on and as opposed to going outside and ruining into the other prefect in her year or someone else on the grounds at this unfit house she decided on the tower, losing track of time and energy she had sleepily for a moment laid her head down and that was it, she was out like a light, curled up peacefully next to her various scattered quills each a different size and color, a roll of parchment. Sleep was not something Ashley deprived herself of while at home but during school she did find it harder to sleep, in her early years it was because it was not uncommon for her to wake up with her books or clothing stolen, her homework she put hours of work into completely demolished or even sometimes going as far as being hexed in her sleep. Now it seemed people had more or less adjusted to her and just went with the ignore her and act as if she is not there approach which Ashley found she much preferred but it still didn't help with her sleeping, she simply read into early hours of the morning or as she did this particular day worked on homework,

Soleus had woken up in his dorm minutes before, and unable to fall back asleep, for once, he had decided to go for a smoke on the Astronomy tower, where Ashley had previously told him to go to be away from the other prefects. He had made it almost to the top of the tower, a loose t shirt and pyjama pants pulled on roughly to go with his disheveled hair and face. When he rounded the corner and saw the familiar form fast asleep on the floor a smile crossed his own sleepy face. He walked over to her and dropped into a crouch, gently reaching over and brushing her cheek with his thumb to wake her.

It took Ashley a moment to wake up even as Soleus brushed her face her lips upturning into a smile and snuggling into his hand for a second before she blinked her eyes open and smiled up at Soleus sleepily "Soleus?" she asked a little confused for a moment then remembered where she was and blushed as she sat up an ran her fingers through her hair trying to fix it "I- oh..I must have fallen asleep"

Soleus smiled as she came around and straightened up, watching her. "It seems that way." He remarked quietly and with a small smirk. He eyed all the work surrounding her and raised an eyebrow. "Why were you working up here so late?"

"I have trouble sleeping sometimes besides, I needed to finish a astronomy assignment what about you?" Ashley asked then took in his appearance the blush creeping up on her face again, looking away from him shyly she spotted the cigarette in his hand "ohhhh" she said softly with a faint smile "I can go if you want"

Soleus shook his head once, almost a shrug, smiling a little still. "Doesn't bother me if it doesn't bother you." He said, and looked down when she blushed. "What is it?" He asked, a small smirk appearing. "Do you like my pyjamas?" He joked.

Ashley smacked her hands over her face and giggled nodding then mumbled from behind her hands "definitely" she commented with another giggle followed by a snort then more blushing, groaning she removed her hands from her face and peeked up at him "pretend you didn't hear that"

"The snort or the groan?" Soleus quipped, his fingers rolling the unlit cigarette while he smirked.

Ashley sighed and shook her head "nevermind" she went about picking up her school books and other items placing them into her bag, when she finished she sat up against the wall looking up at the sky "it's a beautiful night I would have liked to have actually gone outside but I didn't want to get in trouble.."

Soleus placed the cigarette behind his ear and took her bag from her swiftly with one hand, placing it against the wall, then offered both his hands out to her, smiling. "Come on then. I'm going up. Come with me." He said, his eyes more bright now he had woken up properly.

Ashley eyed him for a moment narrowing her eyes but smiled and took his hands letting him help her to her feet "ok" she forgot to let go of his hands as she stood up too busy smiling at him curiously.

Soleus cocked an eyebrow, questioningly. "What, don't trust me? Bit late to admit that, beautiful." He purred, adding a cheeky wink for good measure as he dropped one of her hands and stepped towards the stairs leading upwards.

Ashley shook her head and smiled sweetly "I trust you, of course I trust you" she squeezed the hand of his that she still held and locked her eyes on his the topic changing to serious once again with the look she gave him, she wanted him to know that she definitely meant what she said, she did trust him.

Soleus glanced back to her, and held her gaze for a moment, the light dancing in his eyes. He then nodded and his expression fell back into a more comfortable one. "Well come on then," He said, smiling and pulling her up the steps behind him.
