Seth curled up against Marcus and pulled the vampire's arm around him a little more. He was curled up on the couch at the Cullens house between Emmett and Marcus and he was tired after the long flight from Volterra to Seattle. The last time he'd slept had been nearly forty-eight hours earlier and the only thing that he wanted to do was throw himself onto a bed or piece of furniture that was comfortable enough and sleep.

Of course, he needed to have Marcus as a pillow too or else it wouldn't work. Hence why he was in the Cullens' living room listening absently to Bella and Sam arguing with Carlisle about letting Volturi members stay in the area.

He didn't get why they were arguing; he'd thought they'd have been happy to have him home for Christmas and a few months after. But since his presence came with the price of Marcus and Alec, a lot of people weren't happy.

The bright morning light shone through the window and struck Seth right in the face. He groaned softly and curled up into a ball, burying his face against Marcus' abdomen to hide from it. The last thing he wanted was to listen to Bella screeching at eight in the morning when he would rather be catching up on his sleep.

Marcus' hands smoothed over his shoulders and back, offering silent comfort. Under Marcus' fingers, Seth relaxed and started to drift off a little.

So long as he had Marcus there to soothe away the annoyances, he could put up with just about anything.

FIN.
