For some reason, Yusei couldn't sleep.
Perhaps it was something to do with the fact that the sofa he was sleeping on was incredibly lumpy. But perhaps it was also to do with the fact he was thinking about Aki.
Just 5 hours ago she had arrived at the front door, saying she needed some place to sleep, but that she didn't want to go home. She hadn't said why. But her pretty face was so full of sadness; they had let her in anyway.
And now she was sleeping in his room.
Sighing, he got up, and went upstairs to his room, and quietly opened the door. He didn't go in. That would be intruding. Instead, he stood in the doorway and watched her.
She was sleeping on her side, curled up, almost like a kitten, or a baby .The moon had snuck in through a chink in the curtains, and illuminated her face.
. Yusei had never seen her asleep before. Sure, he had woken her up from a coma, but that was not the same as sleep.
Of course it wasn't.
Then, her face had been troubled and angry-an expression he had seen on her face a lot when he had first met her, whereas nowadays it was just an undercurrent, hiding beneath the happiness and laughter that lit up her face. And today, it had been the most sad, and desperate face he had ever seen . But in Sleep, not even a slight trace of insecurity could be seen. It was as though Sleep relaxed her heart as well as her body. Seemingly, Sleep had healed her completely.
Sleep had done something he could not do, no matter how hard he tried.
I know it's a weird concept, personifying sleep, but I reckon it's an interesting one .It just takes a while to get your head around.
Anyway , hope you liked this one , and if anyone has any ideas for a theme I could do(I am not working from a pre-made list ) , please PM them to me =D
