Chapter 1. ((T))
AN://: I do not own Loveless, nor do I own the Zero Team. That also makes me sad, because I ♥ them soooo much! ♥♥♥
Youji stared at the unmoving body. Only the rhythm sound of breathing told him the maroon wolf was alive. So still…so peaceful…
"Natsuo!" The green-haired said, rather loudly.
Suddenly, Natsuo's body jumped a bit before quickly turning on his side to face his Sacrifice.
"Nani?"
"Are you awake?" Youji's whispering voice came from the darkness. His eye adjusted to the dim lighting.
"Now I am…" He muttered drowsily.
"Were you sleeping?"
"Yes." He said disappointed. This was the fifth time this week Youji had woken him sometime in the night. All he wanted was sleep, sheesh!
"Are you just saying yes so I'll go away?"
"No, Youji."
There was a small pause after that, a pause that made Natsuo think Youji was asleep.
"will you play with me?" Youji's voice was desperate sounding, but it sounded like he wanted something to Natsuo. He sat up, looking at the ground where Youji crouched near the big bed they shared.
"You mean video games?" Natsuo asked. He tried not to sound as if he thought otherwise.
Youji nodded. Why was he having such problems sleeping anyway? "I'll turn the volume down." He added.
Natsuo made a small sigh of relief. Well, half relief. Half that he would be up again tonight because Youji was apparently becoming an insomnia type person.
"Fine." He dragged himself out of bed and toward the game console. "What game?" He asked.
"Um…Kiminair no Tora?" Youji asked, digging through Soubi's bag of games.
"Do you have a memory card?" Natsuo asked, half yawning.
Youji dug deeper. Surely Soubi had one? He turned back to Natsuo, triumphantly with the card in his hand. "Yup!♥" He said, a smile on his face.
"Ok, thirty minutes only, ok?" He stated, trying to make a deal so he could get some sleep.
Youji's ears went down almost immediately, sighing, looking down at his controller. He then looked up at his friend. He knew he'd need some sleep.
"Ok…" He muttered.
"Maybe one hour… If we get past level twenty-three." Natsuo said, trying to make Yuoji a little bit happy.
The green-haired nodded, smiling. "Ok Natsuo." Youji turned on the station, making sure it was on mute, so not to disturb the sleeping Soubi.
"If you can't sleep, I'm getting you Vodka." He plugged in the controller and put in the memory card.
"Soubi won't like you going into his liquor cabinet." Youji muttered plugging in his own controller.
"Then how will you sleep?" Natsuo asked, concerned of his Sacrifices lack of sleep.
"I hear Advil makes you drowsy." Youji said, shrugging slightly as the game started its opening.
"Only if it's drowsy…" The wolf muttered.
The other Zero laughed to himself. "You must be tired. You're not making any sense!"
"I make a ton of sense Ritsuka!" The other said as he yawned.
Youji looked from the TV; the game all up and ready to play, to his friends; so tired he didn't know who his Sacrifice was, then sighed.
"Go to bed, I'll play for a bit, then get some sleep." He promised, patting him on the back.
"I was kidding Youji!" Natsuo smiled. "No way I'm ganna sleep now!"
"Since when do you like getting up so early?" Youji asked slyly.
"Since now." Was his partner's replied.
"Fine, stay up, but don't complain about it in the morning!" The Sacrifice nudged him in the arm. He knew this was usually the last one up.
"I'm only staying up a little…" He said, and started the video game.
Youji looked over the wolfs head at the clock. 12:01. "Ok." He had made a great deal!
