Summary: Rose still hasn't asked Raphael about keeping his feather

Rose stood in front of Raphael's door, the fiery red feather in her hair above her left ear. She still hadn't asked the angel if he minded her having his feather because she hadn't wanted to disturb his recovery. And then the nightmares had happened.

She shuddered and her right thigh throbbed a bit. The wounds were healing nicely but it would take a few days until she wouldn't feel them anymore. Thanks to Raphael only her thigh hurt and she didn't have to put her left arm in a sling.

Rose took another deep breath and knocked on the door.

"No objections here," he purred. "I'd be more than happy to return the favor. Would you like to be brushed?"

Rose's smile transformed into a full-blown grin. If someone knocked on the door, Cloud would just have to hide in the bathroom or something...

"No objections here either. It's been a while since someone beside myself groomed my fur..."

She set to grooming the second wing, still gentle despite her eagerness to be groomed as well. Only when she was sure she hadn't left out a single feather she slipped off her shoes and clothes and changed into Cloud. Cloud looked at Raphael, tail wagging.

Raphael grinned and moved to lock his door. If someone had walked in he would have claimed the animal as his own and no one would have batted an eyelash, but it was for Rose's comfort that he did that. Anyway, he wasn't sure how his friend would feel about him stating Cloud was "his", regardless of the reason. Pulling a soft brush from the dresser he flopped onto the bed and patted the comforter. "Come on up, Cloud," he smiled.

Cloud waited for Raphael to settle and then jumped up on the bed, lying down across the angel's legs, stretching her body to its full length so the brush would have access to every bit of fur. She wagged her tail and waited for the grooming to start.
