Author's note: This is intended to be a collection of oneshots and drabbles featuring Mifune and Angela. I've marked it as "complete" for now, since each drabble is a standalone.

Mifune was sleeping again. He was sleeping sitting upright, leaning against the wall with his sword against his shoulder.
"How come you sleep sitting up?" Angela asked. She crawled into Mifune's lap, pushing the sword to the side and tugging at his sleeve. "Is it because you can't lie down?"
Mifune smiled, shifting his weight to accommodate her.
"It is safer this way," Mifune said. Angela yawned and cuddled, burying her face against his shoulder. "There are those who wish to hurt you, An; I sleep by my sword to protect you."
"That's scary," Angela said, and she clung to his chest. She felt Mifune press a comforting hand against her back.
"Perhaps I have been too forthright," Mifune murmured, but by now Angela had no idea what he was saying. Caught somewhere between wakefulness and slumber, Mifune murmured into her hair, "Do not worry, An," before she felt him breathe deeply again, his muscles loosening. "I will protect you."
His head drooped slightly, his cheek resting against her hair.
He was sleeping now, and Angela cuddled against him. He felt warm and good and Angela pressed her face against the folds of his shirt.
A/N: These first four drabbles are leftovers from the fic, "Sitting Right Beside You." I thought I would post them separately here, and maybe add to them later. We'll see :)
