The rolling thunder rattled the windows as they all watched the lights flicker on and off in the run-down house they were staying in.

Syaoran stood up slowly, "We should probably find our rooms before the power…."

As if in response to his voice, the lights flickered once and then blacked out all together.

"Hyuuu, good call Syaoran-kun." Fai clapped his hands together somewhere in the inky blackness. Kurogane growled at him.

After several minutes of fumbling, their whole group managed to stumble up the stairs and into their respective rooms.

"Ne, Kuro-rin," Fai called out from the doorway, or at least the vicinity of the doorway, he wasn't entirely sure. "Do you think the lights will come on by the morning?"

"Hn, the sun'll be up by the morning."

"You didn't answer my question!"

"Shut up, and go to sleep!" Kurogane snapped irritably, hauling the covers up over his head.

A deep thunk suggested that Fai had managed to run into the end of the bed in his attempt to navigate through the cramped room.

The fact Kurogane's bed shook along with the sound did not bode well.

The bed dipped as Fai flopped down next to him.

"Oi! In your own bed!"

"Don't be silly, Kuro-tan. You want to go to sleep, and if I try and find my bed, I'll just keep you up even longer."

The swordsman grumbled under his breath, rolled over to put his back to Fai and tried very hard to fall asleep.

Until the other man threw a lanky leg over his hip.

Syaoran sat bolt upright in his bed at the unintelligible shouts coming from the adjacent room.

And then winced when he heard the unmistakable sound of Fai hitting the floor.

OOOOOO
Thanks for reading!
