By Pure Silence is Not Always Total Silence

And so, another afternoon went by. Sometimes she wondered why her reports seem endless. But then again, no, it was not endless; it was just what people would say one after another. Oh yes, to justify things…

Searching for her neglected cellphone, it was actually resting peacefully inside its fluffy pouch –and not after organizing her own bed, too. There were lots of missed calls. Leave phone, lots of missed calls. Turns volume to the loudest, nobody calls. Or so they said.

As she looked over her missed calls list, holy…

Quickly calling back the number, it was only a matter of seconds before the other side was picking up.

"Ah, Hikari-san, there must be lots of missed calls displayed on your phone? We are really sorry about that."

"No, no, it's okay. Did something happen again?"

"He was not coming and we couldn't reach his phone either."

She knew it, "I'm really sorry for not realizing the calls. I've been working on my reports the entire time."

"We realized that may be the case with you, Hikari-san. Please don't worry now. It's actually already long since the session was supposed to begin."

After a few words exchanges, she hung up and decided to go look for him.

The park nearby was the first place she tried. It was, obviously, the most close by. She had often caught him asleep on that very same place ever since her first encounter with his random sleeping tendency back when they were still in high school.

"Ah, he's not here," she muttered under her breath. His tendency to sleep randomly was actually quite worrisome for her. Since her first experience with his rabid fangirls.. Well, let's just say that thankfully, he seemed to be having a great instinct too on that case. So far, no wild attack on a certain sleeping figure has been reported.

Already going through the park with no sign of any dirty blonde hair –she even looking under the bench, next location that crossed her mind was Forest Park. That location was second to this park as his most-often-used napping place. But he usually went there to sleep his day-off, so it's rather not-him to go there today.

His home was another option. But it was obvious he would be easy to reach by phone if he was sleeping at home. So he must be sleeping somewhere as usual while his cell phone was left at home.

Ah well, she could try to reach him by phone again. Perhaps he was already at home by now. Though, knowing him…

Several calls later and, it was positive, the phone was away from him. Okay, which other possible location she should try now? He could sleep anywhere though, matter-of-factly.

"The greenery should remain. Places where I can take a nap are diminishing," she remembered he once said.

She chuckled. Of course. She should try to check that place.

A loud meow greeted her.

"Oh, Hikari," she scooped the cat in her arms as her greeting, "How are you today?"

As she was releasing it again, the cat gracefully skipped through the bush and she followed suit.

She smiled as the cat halted to stretch out in front of a sleeping figure.

"Finally found you," she said quietly. As she carefully sat in front of them, the figure stirred around, "…uh? Hikari?"

The cat meowed and licked his face. She couldn't help but laughing quietly in content watching them. He blinked trying to focus his eyes. Looking up to meet her eyes, he blinked again, "Ah? Good morning?"

"Good morning," she answered softly, "You left your cellphone again?"

Using his arm as a support, he got up a little only to scoot closer.

"…oh," he said as he laid his head back again on her lap, "I missed it again?"

She shook her head in amusement, "Sometimes I wonder how your own use of a cellphone is."

Still wearing the sleepy look, he looked into her eyes in thinking manner. Watching him like that, she remembered her younger cousin once said teasingly, "Hazuki-kun's main use of his own cellphone is probably only to call you, Hikari-nee."

"…to be able to reach you when I can't be close to you?" he asked in a matter-of-fact tone.

Feeling the familiar heat surged on her cheeks, she said in her own somewhat-academic tone, "You know, the wind is quite strong around this month. You shouldn't sleep outside often."

"Ah…" he said trying to properly get up.

As they were finally sitting face to face, his head just fell again to the crook between her neck and her shoulder. Resting his forehead on, he mumbled, "Can't… Still… Need sleep…"

Her own laughter reverberated through their close contact, "Okay. Five more minutes, then. We could go to ALUCARD first from here. You do need your coffee around this time."

Okay, everybody, I think I've got cases in finishing fics late. Yay! /threw confetti in the air/ /tired out/ I even too tired out to type out through this in full throttle. Hopefully everything is still makes sense?

Ah well, on to the usual birthday wishes. Have a happy birthday, our dearest Prince. You'll always be in our heart. I know my heart will. /chuckled/

Thank you for trying to read it. Corrections are always welcomed. And ol' classic review would be really appreciated!

I actually realized some typo... Oh well, while I edited it, thought to insert a reply to A Midsummer too: Thanks for the review again! I always love to know how you like the details after reading. And you finally get our prince? Congrats!

..nothing major, but the title. Yay. /coughed/ Ah, well. You could say that it was pretty much still in the 'reading old fics' set and so I did some minor changes as needed. Still more obvious than the 2012 one, though. /lol
