Yui groaned as sleep floated away from her. As well rested as she felt, she was still reluctant to get up. A bit of sunlight crept it's way into her room from cracked curtains, laying a straight line of light across her room and over her legs. The white room lit up with even the slightest crack of light. She would need to remember to close the curtains all the way next time she decided to sleep, or at least the next time she found her room if ever.
Yui slid the bed sheet off of her body and felt a chill run up her body, sucking the little heat that the sheet gave her from her. Shivering, she pulled the single sheet back over her, wrapping it around her shoulders. It took her a minute to realize that what she had wrapped around her was not her bed sheet but rather Hades' cloak. She pulled it from her body and moved to the drawers that were placed in her room, finding new, clean clothes.
Yui changed out of her white toga she had been wearing for who knows how long, and she rummaged through all of the clothes left there for her. She was relieved to find that they were now better prepared for her and had gone out to get her some current clothing. She pulled out a blue jean jacket with a nice long, white shirt with crazy flower doodles on it. Next she slid a pair of black leggings and began to brush her hair in front of a small mirror on top of the drawers, pulling her knotted hair straighter. She hoped she could shower soon, her hair was getting grossly filthy. Trying not to think about her current hygiene, she tied her hair back in a ponytail and walked back to the bed. She picked up Hades' cloak and looked at it. As much as she wanted to wash it before she returned it, she had no idea where the washers were and if she went looking there would be a chance that she could never find Hades again.
Yui sighed, shaking her head. Thinking like that wasn't going to help her at all. Besides, Hades promised to help her find her way around, so she wouldn't get lost anymore. Though, it did occur to her that there was no way of him knowing where she was or that she even needed help when she did.
Yui frowned. It seemed like as of late all she could do was mope about her problems by herself, alone wandering through the halls aimlessly. She had to break out of her circle of depression somehow. She could just picture Hades' frowning face when he found her so troubled, as if it was his fault no less. She didn't want to worry him so much, he had a job to do!
Taking a deep breath in, she pulled a smile onto her face and marched out of her room, turning to the right as Hades had instructed her to do if she needed him. She reached to only other door in the hallway and knocked on the door lightly. She waited a minute but received no response. She knocked again, hearing a grumble. It occurred to her that he could still be asleep.
Yui carefully pulled the door, flinching every time it squeaked. She gently slid herself inside. It was just how she had first seen it, a giant king sized bed with black sheets and a large canopy above it. In the bed lay a sleeping, eyes closed and chest slowly rising up and down from under his sheets. His face was free from wrinkles of any time, looking as timeless as he was. He really did look like a king tucked away in his fancy bed like he was. Yui blushed, turning away from his sleeping figure. She kept telling herself that she wasn't peeking in on him but it was hard to convince herself when she was sneaking into his room while he was asleep.
She moved to put the cloak down on the bed when she heard a groan from under the covers. Yui flinched back as Hades rose his head up and set himself up on his elbows, eyes squeezed shut. He lifted one of his hands up to rub the sleep out of his eyes when Yui came into sight. He gasped and jumped up, staring at her hard, as if trying to grasp something right in front of him.
Yui held still in place, frozen in shock. Hades' sheets had fallen down to reveal his bare chest. It hadn't occurred to her that he might... sleep in the nude... until now of course. Yui's blush spread across her face and down her neck, finally ripping her eyes away from Hades' sculpted figure.
"Yui!" Hades finally choked out. He blushed profusely and quickly gathered his sheets to pull them over his chest, as if he was a woman found naked in her bed. "W-what are you-"
"R-return! C-cloak, now- bad time- sorry! ...ER, bye!" Yui let out some odd string of words, dropping the cloak on the ground and darting to the door. She pulled it open and closed it behind her, leaning against the door. She let out a few hard breaths, her face so warm she bet she could cook something on it. She pulled her hands up to cover her face, as if trying to hid it from someone who wasn't even there.
She moved to return to her room when she felt a tug on her shirt. She turned to find the end bit of it that stuck out from her jacket caught in the door, having closed it too fast. Great, now she looked like an idiot! She tried to tug it free but it was stuck and wasn't coming loose anytime soon. She sighed and sat herself down. There was no way she would open that door with Hades changing inside, that would break her last bit of pride. Then again, found sitting in the hallway with your shirt stuck in a door was plenty of a way to loose the rest anyways.
The door opened slightly after a minute of waiting, stopped by Yui's body. Finding herself free she stood up, allowing Hades to exit his room. Yui stood facing away from him, not able to turn to him so soon.
"Well... good morning then." Hades said with a nervous chuckle. "I don't believe I've ever had such an effective wake up call before, that's for sure."
"S-sorry!" Yui squeaked, covering her face again.
"I-it's fine. Based off of what little you said, I'm guessing you were returning this." Hades said, holding up his cloak. Yui nodded, still facing away from him. "W-well, I suppose... let bygones be bygones?"
"I-I swear that I didn't mean to peak on you, I would have thought you'd be up by now." Yui said.
"I know, you're not that kind of person." Hades said, clasping a hand on her shoulder. Yui finally peaked at him from over her shoulder, giving him a small, guilty yet thankful smile.
"Alright." Yui said. Hades blushed and felt his heart skip a beat when she turned to him like that. He quickly let go of her shoulder and stood next to her. "I-I guess onto breakfast than?" Hades asked and Yui nodded, beginning to head down the hallways together.
OMG, Yui almost caught Hades in the nude! And just HOW do you get your shirt caught in the door. The door was basically just saved their relationship there. Thank you doors! :P
Anyways, I hope this update is satisfying enough to you guys- I'm trying to slow down a bit but unlike Pokemon, I just can NOT for the life of me write fillers. I just have a hard time. However, you guys can help if you want! Just give me ideas in the comments and I might be able to incorporate them into the story and make it just a bit more diverse than it could have been. And you guys know I listen to you~ Of course I'm not demanding you to do so, I NEVER ask anything of you guys-
Please Fave, Follow, and Review~
