POV Lykan
"T-Thank you." Said a small and delicate female. Kiira, one of my friends's little sister stood there with a gentle blush spread across her cheeks and a closed lipped smile. Me and her had just gotten back from the movies. I was asked to watch after her while my friend was out with family matters that Kiira wouldn't be able to understand to a full extent. "You're welcome." I softly reply with a warm smile as she wrapped her arms around my forearm and nuzzled her cheek against it with an even warmer smile. "Happy hm?" I ask as I moved my other hand over to place it on her head and ruffle up some of her hair. She simply giggles at this and nodded while still nuzzling my forearm. "Mhm! This was really fun Lykan sir.." she adds on. "It really was." I reply. "How about we go inside and get ready for bed. I was told to get you into bed before eleven pm." I watch as Kiira slowly frowned and tightened her hold around my forearm. "No." She firmly states. "No?" I reply. "No!" She repeats as she gave a slight whine while nuzzling into my forearm more aggressively. "Ah, and why is that Kiira?" I ask as a burst of wind blew past us resulting in a shudder from Kiira. Her hair blew against her face, and her short blue dress that ended in a skirt had raised a fair amount. "I don't want to." She says. "I wanna stay awake with you." She adds on. I think about this and give a gentle sigh at this response. "I can push your bedtime up to eleven thirty if you want. That way we can stay awake together for a bit longer." Kiira began to think. Her brows furrowed a little as she shuffled in place and stuck her bottom lip out a bit. "Okay.." she replies. "Okay, now lets get inside." I say as I move the hand that still rested on her head to my back pocket. I grab the house key I was supplied with and unlock the front door. I open the door and step in. Kiira follows me while still latched onto my forearm. I shut the door behind me and set the key on a shelf before looking down at Kiira. "Okay, Kiira. Go ahead and change into your pajamas. I'll be out here waiting for you." Kiira nods with a returning smile. "Okay!" She says as she unlatches herself from my forearm and made her way down the hallway towards her bedroom. I softly chuckle and lock the front door. I then go into the kitchen to get a drink.
POV Kiira
I get to stay up longer with Mr. Lykan...!!* I squeal this in my thoughts as I joyfully entered my bedroom with an excited expression. Mr. Lykan is by far the bestest sitter I've ever had! The other ones are always moody or just uninterested, but Mr. Lykan. He's fun! Fun and... anyways. He told me to go get into my pajamas so that we could stay up a while thirty minutes past my bedtime. I walk to my dresser and open up the top drawer where my underwear is. I look through them, trying to find one of my interest. Pink.. blue.. yellow.. green.. purple.. hm. I couldn't choose. So I closed my eyes and scrounged through the drawer with my hand open. I then closed my hand around a random pair and opened my eyes to look at them. They were my yellow ones with a cutie looking bear head on the back side. I never really liked the bear ones, but I'm sure Mr. Lykan wouldn't care much. ..or at least I think. Is he allowed to see them? Big sister always told me that it's un-lady like to show off your underwear to a guy. "Kiira! The longer you stay in there. The less time we have to stay awake together." I hear Mr. Lykan say this which made me hurry up. "Okay Okay Mr. Lykan sir!" I reply as I grabbed my dress and pulled it up off of me. I set it down and wiggle out of my already worn underwear. They were blue with no bear on them. I then wiggle into my yellow ones with the bear on them. "Almost done Mr. Lykan sir!" I shout as I closed my underwear drawer and opened up my pajama shorts drawer. I quickly slipped them on and grabbed one of my shirts. I put that on too and ran out of bedroom. I ran down the hall towards Mr. Lykan who was stood there on his phone. "I'm here! I'm here!" I eagerly say with a few bounds on my toes. He puts his phone away and gave me that smile of his that always made me happy. I look up into his eyes and felt my face heat up again as it did before. "Hm? You've been blushing a lot lately Kiira. Are you alright..?" I widen my eyes just a bit in surprise as I heard Mr. Lykan say that. Big sister told me that when you blush around someone. That it probably means you're nervous or you like him. I didn't feel nervous though.. so.. does that mean I like Mr. Lykan?
POV Lykan
I'm quite sure Kiira has something on her mind. She's been getting more and more excited to be around me, and her face has been fading to a red color as well. She's not sick, and she doesn't seem to be stressed or nervous about anything either. I wanted to figure this out without it seeming weird to her or.. anyone else. I decided to give a simple approach. "Kiira. You've been blushing a lot lately. Are you alright..?" I hoped that would give me the answer I want. Instead, she widened her eyes a bit. Her cheeks faded to that of a brighter shade of red. Now I really knew something was up. I waited for a response. She slowly parted her lips and said, "I-I..." she stuttered a bit. "U-Uhm..." was she holding something back..? Tears began to develop in her eyes. I felt bad now. She then whimpered a bit as her tears began to run down her cheeks. I took action. "Alright alright.. Kiira I'm sorry for asking..." I drop to a knee and open my arms for her. She stood there still looking into my eyes and still quietly crying. She hesitated for a moment, but then quickly ran over and hugged me tight. She tightly held her arms around my neck and latched her legs around my torso. She continued to quietly whimper and sniffle a bit. I return this hug by wrapping my arms around her smaller frame and hugging her to my own body in a protective and compassionate manner. "There there.. it's alright Kiira.." I softly reassure her as I sat back and held her as if she were my own. Kiira buries her face into my neck and kept it there. She slowly calmed herself down while we still held each other close and tight. "There you go.. you're alright.. you're okay.." I finalize this. Kiira stayed like this. I stayed like this as well up until the point where I felt her grip loosen around me. I assumed she wanted down so I loosened my hold as well, but her arms and hands simply draped off from my neck and into my lap. She was asleep. *well.. there's one way to put her to sleep* I suppress another gentle chuckle from myself as I then moved Kiira's position. I held her against my chest with one hand placed against her back and with my free arm holding her from under. I could feel her slow and steady heartbeat against me, and I could feel her gentle breaths against my neck as she peacefully slept in my hold. I stood up and carried her down the hall towards her bedroom. I took a left into her bedroom and stepped over the clothing she had changed out of. I walk over to her bed and slowly and carefully lay her down on it. She stirred a bit. I then grab her blankets and brought them up to just below her chin. "H-hhn..." she quietly made a noise. I take this moment to let her rest. I leave her bedroom and turn the light off before walking back down the hallway and into the living room. I get onto the couch and grab a blanket that was left out for me by my friend. I put it over me before taking off my shirt and tucking it between the couch cushions. I then lay my head down and close my eyes.
