Notes: I got stuck writing The Fine Line and needed a break from it, so I came up with this little bit of nonsense. I thought I may as well post it, so I'll just keep this story open for posting my short little pieces. I guess... thanks for reading!

Tap, tap, tap...

Sprawled on her stomach, chin resting in one small hand while the other repeatedly tapped the eraser-end of her pencil against the open sketchpad in front of her, she bit her lip thoughtfully, staring somewhere beyond the open window of her bedroom. Cool spring air ruffled the light curtains as the breeze found its way into the room, and she paused to pull the sheets up over her back.

Tap tap tap tap...

Lyrics weren't going to write themselves, but she wasn't having luck writing them either. Yaten's sketchy writing had left notes and possible lyrics jotted in the center of the overwhelmingly mostly-blank page. She'd been made fun of on numerous occasions by both Taiki and Seiya for having the worst writing of the group- the most recent incident taking place when Taiki had taken a grocery list written by Yaten to the store and had to return home empty-handed when she couldn't read a word of it. Seiya had grinned and remarked that the writing resembled smooshed bugs on a piece of paper, while Yaten fumed and snapped that they were both upset because they'd never learned to read. In hindsight, that had been a very weak comeback.

Tap tap tap tap...

Sighing, she brushed silver hair away from her eyes and frowned at the notepad, resuming the tapping. To the left of her feeble attempts at writing, she'd sketched one of the birds that had been flitting about in the tree outside the window, drawn with its head cocked in a curious expression.

Tap tap-

Yaten halted as a hand reached from behind her to land on top of hers and stop the incessant tapping. "That's really annoying." Seiya's tired voice remarked casually.

Yaten smirked and let the pencil drop from her fingers as she rolled over onto her side to face the other light. Seiya's eyes were closed as though she were hoping that she might still be able to fall back asleep and ignore the day a little longer. They lay, faces close as the leaves rustled outside the window and birds argued back and forth in the trees. Yaten had closed her eyes, adopting Seiya's hope to fall back asleep, when she felt something watching her and cracked an eye open.

Deep blue eyes smiled at her, and she couldn't help but smile back, "What?"

"Just thinking how cute you are when you're trying to sleep." Seiya grinned lazily, wrapping her arms around the smaller starlight.

Yaten raised her eyebrows, "That's because I'm always cute."

A derisive snort was her only reply. Once again, Seiya had shut her eyes and was trying to fall asleep. With a small smile Yaten pulled the covers up higher and moved to rest her head against Seiya's chest.

By the time Taiki came knocking on the bedroom door asking what kind of pancakes they wanted, both lights had fallen back into a comfortable sleep, arms wrapped protectively around one another and legs tangled in the sheets.
