Hino Kahoko couldn't sleep.

Turning onto her side, she brushed her locks of fiery

red hair away from her face. An image of a certain ice

cube with azure hair and golden eyes flittered into her brain.

Because of Tsukimori Len.

Kahoko shook her head violently. No. It wasn't because of

Tsukimori. He was too cold, too silent, always melting away

from her reach...

She sighed. Another long night laid ahead of her.

Tsukimori Len tossed and turned.

He settled on staring up at the ceiling, letting the back

of his hand rest against his forehead. His eyes closed,

and at once that girl appeared again.

Hino Kahoko.

His mind started acting up once more, bringing back the

memories of her. How she was too warm, too kind,

too darn naive to realize his feelings for her...

Len opened his eyes, cursing inwardly to find that she

was still there. Another long night laid ahead of him.

Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!
