Jealousy II Closed Starter

crayonbreakybadass:

Still pouting, Willow gave a small nod, refusing to uncross her arms from over her chest. Turning her head, she looked at Cordelia, but didn’t so much as glance at Connor. She had been intrigued by him before, but now that most of the attention within the Hotel had become centered on him, she didn’t so much as want to look at him.

“Yeah.” She said, giving a small huff as she said the word. Blowing a breath towards one of the pony-tails that had fallen in her face, she moved her feet back and forth, trying anything to divert her attention from Connor. “I can’t sleep, Mommy…”

Okay, now Cordelia knew for sure that something was off. Willow wasn’t the type to get annoyed out of the blue, and other than the occasional nightmare, she slept better than Cordelia did. 

Carefully shifting Connor into the crook of one arm, she used her free hand to run a hand soothingly through Willow’s hair. “Do you want to sleep here, with me and Connor?” she offered softly. Cordelia couldn’t leave Connor alone since everyone else was out on a mission, but that didn’t mean that she was going to leave Willow to fend for herself either; all of them staying here was the only solution she could think of.
