I don't know where this idea came from, but it sound good in my head so I wrote it down. Very short, but I think that it's cute. Hope you enjoy.

Innocent in Sleep
He was sleeping. He looked so innocent when asleep, not like during the day when bodies seemed to follow him around. The dark brown hair fell around his head in different angles, but even in sleep the cowlick in the back stuck up. He skin reflected the moonlight, making it seen paler than it normally was, and making him look like an angel. There was only one thing wrong with the picture of her husband sleeping in bed. The pajamas seemed to be eating him; only his head stuck out. The sleeves were too long in the arms, and the pajama's legs were too long as well. Instead of the strong, brilliant man of twenty he was during the day, a lanky young boy of ten laid in the bed.
She knew why, and very few others knew. It was a side effect of the antidote; when awake, he was normal, even when passed out due to pain he stayed normal. It was only in restful sleep did the antidote stop working and reverted him back ten years. There was no pain in these transformations, and they ended as soon as his body started to wake up. She had told him and he decided that it was fine; this was the only thing wrong with the cure, and in a few more years it would seem normal at first glance if a person walked by the room and saw them asleep.
For now Ran crawled into bed with her husband and held him close. The last words from her mouth that night were "I love you Shinichi" as she fell into a deep sleep beside her husband, arms wrapping around him and snuggling close.
