Here is the next chapter of Monsters Love Strawberries! Oh and just to clear things up, I update randomly. :)
Sleep
She yawned, the bright computer getting more blurry by the second and her body was slowly sliding off the plastic rolling chair.
"Onii-chan…" Her eyes were drooping and the couch was looking like a bed for a princess.
L moved his thumb away from his mouth and tore his gaze away from the screen to her.
She was swaying from side to side and her mouth was slightly open.
"Nani?" He studied her tired state and the little pandas on her pajamas.
She yawned again and rubbed her eyes, fighting to stay awake.
"I…" Her voice trailed off and she leaned to the side, resting her head on the edge of the chair. Her eyes closed and her rhythm of breathing changed.
He stared at her with wide eyes, his mind processing what to do. Gravity was slowly pulling her down and soon she was going to fall to the cold floor.
"Ah…" He planted both of his feet on the floor and stood up.
Her soft snores echoed through the silent room and his hands were on their way to shake her shoulders, but he decided against waking her up. Instead, he gently slid his arms under her and lifted her from the chair.
His eyes shifted to the couch just a few feet away and he grunted, tightening his hold on her and making her head rest on his shoulder.
He slowly made his way to the couch while carrying the little girl in his arms and placed pillow just before he rested her on it. His hands softly let go and soon he was standing over her, looking at the small, curled up form sleeping on the couch.
The light of the moon reflected off her closed eyes and he watched her. This little being of joy and excitement loving him, a person that doesn't even know how to love.
He sat down at the edge of the couch and gazed at the moon. He didn't deserve her, but yet she still stays with him, her smile following him wherever he went.
She shifted and he saw the corners of her mouth turn up.
"Goodnight, Onii-chan…" She whispered.
He looked at her, finally realizing that she was a light in his life. A light that will forever shine on and make him happy when times are unbelievably sad. If she was going to stay with him forever, then he would too.
"Goodnight."
