Waiting:

She sat there waiting for him to come out of a trance, he looked so lost in though she was afraid to disturb him.

"Hey Mamoru, your food is ready," she called to him. She laughed when he jumped back startled. "You need to eat so you can get to bed." She smiled brilliantly at him. He wasn't acting like his usual jerk self, he seemed almost sweet when he was like this.

"Oh, yeah." he stared blankly at his food. "Thanks." He could get through the night without dragging her to his bed.. he hoped.
