"I'm so tired~" Minako yawned. She stretched while sitting on a couch in the lounge. Ken sat across from her, sipping his milk. They were both older now; Minako 21, Ken 18. He was a senior, and Minako took a few years off to help him while studying for university entrance exams.

"Why don't you get some rest then?" Ken queried. He's gotten taller, the woman mused silently, looking him over. His legs and arms were longer . . . he had definitely filled out. The teen noticed her wandering eyes and blushed pink. She smiled.

"I want to hang out with you, though." Ken fought the urge to roll his eyes. This happened a lot. She stayed up all night, studying for exams, and talked to him all the time, leaving no room for sleep whatsoever. The purple bags told the tale.

"Doesn't matter," he sipped his drink once more, "you need your rest, Mina-chan." She smirked, and the teen's eyes widened; she was planning something.

"Then come rest with me." His blush darkened and travelled his whole face and neck as his eyes averted, his heart quickened, and he breathed a little harder. W-Was she serious? I-I mean . . . it's not like I haven't thought of it before—WHOA. NO. Bad idea, bad idea! Aw,crap. As you can see, he was quite flustered.

Minako, however, was not perturbed as she gripped his hand (when did she get up?) a pulled him to his feet, hauling him toward the stairs. She was much stronger than he, so she was able to swiftly drag the teen into her room. She finally let go. The brunette walked to her bed and laid down. Now was the perfect time to escape her conniving clutches, and she voiced so bluntly.

But he made no move to leave.

Instead, he did the opposite. He gravitated her way, laying down next to her; she was mildly surprised.

"I'm already here. I might as well make the best of it, right?" He smiled at her and timidly reached out for her hand, staring down at it with an expression the girl could not decipher.

Minako snuggled closer to Ken, her face hidden in his orange jacket, and smiled. She was lulled to sleep by his warmth and distinctive smell.

Ken smiled. He hugged her closer and kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight, Mina-chan."

He stayed with her all night, eventually falling to sleep as well.
