Drabble 7: Pillow

I couldn't sleep. The memory of fighting Asura and having constant nightmares about the kishin has been haunting me since our first encounter. I grabbed Ardo, my panda stuffie and walked to Soul's room. I could hear him snoring; as he was sleeping peacefully. I walked up to him, closing the door gently behind me before I gently shook him.

"Soul," I whispered. He groaned in his sleep before he turned. I sighed and shook him roughly; that didn't work either. I then decided on the best option. I cleared my throat and let out the shrillest scream I could muster and he bolted awake in a flash, his arm turned into a blade. "Where's the kishin! I swear if he..." he gets a good look at me. "Maka, what are you doing up? Its 3:00 in the morning," he yawned, retracting his blade. "I...can't sleep, and I was wondering if I could sleep here for the night?" I hear him sigh and make room for me.

I thank him, hiding my blushing face in the process as I laid down facing the wall. I then felt him grab me and roll me over so that my head was on his chest. I blushed brightly. "I thought you said you couldn't sleep," he mumbled. "I-I uh thought that if we share the same bed I could sleep peacefully," I replied with a yawn as I made myself comfortable. "Sure, goodnight Maka." "Night Soul," I replied again as I finally fell into a peaceful slumber.
