While You Were Sleeping
Oga has a bad habit.
It's a habit that's a lot worse than beating people up, than vandalizing the property of others. It's a habit worse than cheating in class (when you're in class anyway), or stealing something from the convenience store. This habit was so bad it makes all those other habits seem like charitable acts.
The fact of the matter was, Oga has a habit of watching Hilda when she's asleep.
In fact, he was doing it right now. Hilda, who has not yet awoken since Oga saved her from the hands of Jabberwock, was sleeping in his bed, with Baby Beelze sleeping beside her. Oga decided to just sleep on the floor beside his bed, but so far all he could do was lie awake. It's weird, because after everything that he just went through, he was bound to be beyond exhausted right now.
But he wasn't. And now, all he could do was do this habit of his that he wants to stop doing but he somehow cannot.
He somehow cannot stop admiring the look of serenity on Hilda's face. He somehow cannot stop admiring her long, golden hair as it cascaded loosely against the sheets. He cannot stop admiring her soft lips that parted ever so slightly as she breathed slowly, in and out.
He somehow cannot stop thinking that, dammit, Hilda looked so much hotter when she doesn't look like she's ready to commit murder.
This was something Oga has done a few times before, but each time he did, he always thought that he could get used to seeing Hilda like this.
Feeling exhaustion creep in, Oga laid back on the floor. As he slowly fell asleep, he thought, "Even for just one day, I'd like to see you be that way when you're awake."
Little did he know that his wish was about to come true.
