An unexpected continuation...
That night, Numbuh 4 curled up with his pillow and slept. Only a few moments later, a voice rang out in the darkness.
"Wally?" it asked timidly.
"Uh?" he muttered groggily. Was that who he thought it was?
"Wally, can I sleep in your room? I had a bad dream, and boy, it was sooooo scary! The hamsters ran out of sunflower seeds and, and, and, toilet paper tubes, and-" Yup. Definitely who he thought it was.
"Jeez, Kuki, go back to sleep."
"-and soda pop and… and… they had nobody to loooove them…" she wailed. At this she broke into sobs.
"Aw, jeez. Those cruddy hamsters are fine, Kuki," he murmured, patting her back awkwardly. She sniffled, hugging a stuffed animal to her chest. Her hair was a mess, but he didn't care. She still looked cute. Not that he was thinking that.
"I know… but still." She was silent for a moment. "I wonder if anybody loves me," she added as an afterthought. Numbuh 4 almost choked. He hesitated, stifling an enormous yawn.
"Well," he began awkwardly. His eyes were so heavy. He felt them drop, but forced them to open again. "Actually, Kuki…" He could do this. He wasn't afraid of telling some cruddy girl that he cruddy liked them. So why were the words stuck at the back of his throat? "Actually Kuki," he began again. His eyes drooped, and he found it took too much effort to open them. "I… I kinda…" He yawned, and this time, he didn't bother to cover it up.
"Yes, Wally?" she murmured, eyes growing big.
"I kinda… like….yooooooooo…"
He fell asleep. Kuki giggled.
"Yooooogurt? Well, it better be peach or orange flavoured because everything else is yucky." Kuki patter his head thoughtfully, before lying down beside him and closing her eyes. "Good night, sleepyhead."
Yaaar! *barbaric cheering* 3/4! D'aw they're so cute...
