Midnight Snack

Yuuki stuttered for a few moments, waiting for her brain to find a reasonably intelligent response, but no surprise, nothing came. At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to stick her tongue out, and stomp off like a petulant preschooler.

She settled for sticking out her bottom lip and pouting childishly.

"It's midnight. You can have one in the morning," the soft voice compromised.

Yuuki looked over her shoulder to see lavender eyes flickering in amusement, although his face remained as impassive as ever.

'That's the first sign of emotion Zero's shown since arriving,' she thought with shock, completely forgetting the present argument.

She quickly shook herself out of her momentary daze, coming back to focus on her current objective.

"Fine!" Yuuki grumbled. "I'll go to bed. But will you at least get me a glass of milk?"

The young boy nodded his head briefly, and poured his new sister her drink.

"Thank you!" Yuuki bubbled, bouncing off happily.

As she walked to her room, Yuuki munched on the cookie she stole while Zero's back was turned. She pondered on the brief flash of emotion she had seen on his expressionless face.

'It's certainly a start,' she thought determinedly. 'I will get him to smile one of these days.'

'Meanwhile, he should really teach the Chairman how to make these cookies…'
