Why is everyone so quiet?

Paths || Susan & Finn

Susan looked up at Finn, mortified. She just sort of sat there for a moment trying to get herself to stop willing the ground to swallow her whole and instead pick herself up off of the floor. After a moment she cleared her throat.
“No, no. I’m fine. I got it.” she quickly stood up, grabbed her clothes and then ran back to the bathroom. The thought that she might have accidentally flashed Finn not even hitting her until she was in the bathroom by herself. She leaned against the sink and then started giggling. If it was out of nervousness or embarrassment she didn’t know.
After a moment of gathering herself she quickly changed and then stepped out of the bathroom.
She pretended that nothing had happened and started brushing her hair to put it up in a pony tail.
“The bathroom is open if you want to use it.” she told Finn calmly as she put her things away into her bag.

Finn blushed a little and turned away as the girl got up. He had realized she was half naked but he only now was noticing what was really happening. Finn didn’t want to make things more awkward, if that was even possible. He kept staring at the floor as Susan rushed back to the bathroom, and only when she was inside, he could relax and chucked at the whole situation.

Finn was now up and figure he should change as Susan was on the bathroom. He didn’t have any clothes, since he never planned to stay far from home for more than just a few hours, so he just put on the same clothes he had on the day before and made a mental note to buy more stuff as soon as he could.

He smiled at Susan when the girl left the bathroom. “No, it’s fine. I can take a shower later when we have some time” he shrugged. “Are you ready to go? We could eat something and go talk to people, or whatever. You call”

“Alright, early start tomorrow.” she said calmly. She couldn’t understand why she was having such a weird reaction to being around Finn, it wasn’t normal. Susan had been around guys plenty and she had never reacted like this. Something about Finn was just so different.

Susan blushed like mad when Finn kissed her head. She turned quickly so he wouldn’t see and settled into her side of the bed. She pulled her sheet around herself and curled up. Sleep didn’t come easy but it eventually did. Although it was a very light sleep.

It had to be around 7 or 8 o’clock in the morning when Susan woke up. Finn was next to her asleep and snoring very quietly. She smiled to herself and then got up very carefully and went into the bathroom. Susan quickly showered, washed her face, brushed her teeth and brushed her hair. She looked around for her clothes and realized she had left them on top of her duffle bag in the room. 
“Crap.” she said out loud. There was nothing she could do but wrap a towel around herself and rush out. Susan was more than banking on Finn still being asleep. She quietly made her way back into the room and over to her bag. Susan had almost made it to her bag before she tripped on one of Finn’s shoes and fell to the floor with a loud crash.  

Finn managed to sleep easier than he thought we would. Maybe the fact he wasn’t sleeping alone helped him to get a better night of sleep; Maybe he was just plan tired. Fact is Finn was asleep no more than 10 minutes after he and Susan decided to sleep.

He still wasn’t ready to wake up when he jumped out of bed, scared. Finn couldn’t forget he was being followed by Death Eaters, and the loud noise on the bedroom was more than enough to force him out of sleep.
Finn looked around the bedroom finding, for his surprise, nothing more than Susan’s side of bed empty next to him. It was only when he sat up that he noticed the girl on the floor. “Su-Susan?” He asked, a little worried. “Are you alright?” Finn didn’t really move. He wanted to go closer to her and help her out, but the fact she was naked, with only a towel around her, made him stay still, embarrassed. “Do you..” Finn cleared his throat. “Do you need any help?”

Susan leaned into Finn, resting her head on his shoulder without thinking. It felt automatic something about it felt so familiar. After a moment of shock that she had done it she pulled away. That image flashed through her mind again, Finn laughing and singing to her. She couldn’t place when it had happened or even if it was real but it was there and it felt real. 

“Finn….” she turned and looked at him. Her gaze lingered on his for some moments and she began to lean towards him. An overwhelming urge to kiss him taking her over. They were getting close when she shook her head and pulled away.
“We should probably go to sleep. Get an early start tomorrow. Check around the village see if anyone has heard any news.” Susan said trying to forget what she wanted to ask Finn or the feeling that had overtaken her.

Finn felt his usual headache when Susan leaned into him. He was getting used to it now, those headaches came and go every once in a while. They hurt, yeah, but Finn was getting used to it. He didn’t have to run or turn into a bat or anything like that anymore. Though, it was true, they didn’t hurt as much as the first two.

An smirk appeared on his face as he rose an eyebrow, watching Susan’s reaction. It was a little weird the way she acted, but Finn liked it. He felt good around the girl - in his mind it was as if his older brother or friend. He liked having her around. It he felt more protective towards her as they spent more time together.

He nodded quickly “Yeah, totally.” he doubted he would sleep at all, but he had to at least try. “You know the way around here so I guess you’re in charge of that” he shrugged. “I don’t even speak any russian” he chuckled awkwardly “But whatever you want me to do, I’ll be here” Finn gave Susan a supportive smile and kissed the top of her head before resting comfortable on his side of the bed

Susan nodded and then looked at Finn. “No problem. I mean honestly I would rather not be alone either. It makes it easier to have someone with you. Not as well…lonely.” she pulled her legs up to her chest. It was strange that she felt so comfortable with Finn. Something about him made her feel like she could trust him with things, things about herself. She felt like she had known him for longer than just these few weeks. Being around him made her happy, in a way but also have a sort of deeply embeded sadness. “Well, I can’t promise anything but I do hope we get out of this soon. And I really hope you get your memory back. I can’t even being to feel how awful it must be not to remember a big part of your life.”

Finn nodded with a small smile on his lips. it was nice that Susan understood him. Not only he wasn’t alone on that situation, he knew he could trust the girl he was with and she was friend. The guy sighed feeling Susan was down. It was almost impossible not to be. He wished he could do anything, but he was on the same boat. There was nothing he could do or say that would make ‘get chased by death eaters and move to Russia’ look like a nice thing. Or at least not terrifying. Finn threw his arm over the girl’s shoulder showing support. ‘We’ll be alright. I promise. My memory is not important right now. We should focus on being safe right now’

“No, I’m not. I just wanted to get comfortable. Just in case I do want to sleep.” she shrugged and sat on the bed. She moved to the corner and sort of curled up. She looked around the bed and noticed that it was a really big bed. Far more room than she would need.
“I am going to sound completely creepy and I am sorry but you can probably sleep on the bed too. I mean it’s really big and it has a lot of blankets so like you can have one side with some blankets and I can take the other.” she tried to avoid making eye contact so that the awkward moment wouldn’t get worse.

“Oh” Finn let out a little surprised when Susan suggested they could share a bed. “I’m pretty big too…” he tried to come up with excuses why he shouldn’t sleep with Susan but he was too tired, his body was begging for the bed. And they were in that one together. What was the worst that could happen?
Finn sighed and nodded. “Yeah, that would be cool, thanks.” he got up from his corner and walked over the bed, sitting on the corner for a second before lying down. “Don’t get me wrong…. but I’m glad you’re here with me.. I mean. I’d rather not be here and of course I didn’t want you to be in a situation like this, but I’m be dead if it wasn’t for you so… thanks, I guess”
