You Make Me…Sleepy

3:45.

The clock ticked away. The optimistic brunette stared with wondering eyes. Today, time seemed to tick away slowly away. Being a time-traveler, Mikuru thought such a thing as time to be nothing much to worry over. It was only the events that happened within time that made the dates, numbers and this very clock so necessary to life.

"The tea."

Mikuru was startled to attention, spinning to face the steaming tea kettle. After a yelp of surprise, she carefully removed the kettle with a mitten. After preparing everyone's separate tea cup, she passed them out to the S.O.S brigade members. She then seated herself peacefully at Yuki's side.

Today, it seemed, Haruhi was taking a break in the club room from the "endless studying" that she and Kyon had trialed through the day before. To Mikuru, this meant that it was the waitress dress than the red bunny suit. She mentally sighed in relief at the thought, brushing her hands along her dress.

"What are you reading, Yuki?" She asked, wary to be quiet.

"Acceleration" Yuki replied, showing the brunette the cover page of the book she cradled in her hands.

Mikuru gave a simple, "Oh". She dared not ask what it was about. She had already been rude enough by interrupting the girls reading by asking what it was.

Acceleration. Today was going too slow for that word to take any effect on her.

Staring at Yuki's book, held by both her hands in her lap, Mikuru found her eyes catching a few words before the page was suddenly turned.

'She must really like this book…'

Hazel eyes wondered from the book-worms hands to the girls eyes. Concentrated, determined and zipping through the words on each page…

'Always calculating everything…' The brunette thought 'I wonder if she ever gets tired of reading…'

4:11

Mikuru found herself staring at the clock again. Warmth spread through her as her hand was embraced by another. "Yuki?" She asked, looking down at her hand, covered by said girls.

"Tired?" The ever stoic voice asked.

"N-" An unexpected yawn interrupted Mikuru's reply, more or less answering it altogether. "Well…"

Yuki patted her hand twice, a comforting motion that brought a smile upon the other. She turned a page in her book again. The clock ticked away. The 'waitress' daringly rested her head on her girlfriends shoulder, nuzzling into the others neck. Another page was turned.

Mikuru gave a sigh, "Don't you ever get tired…of thinking?" a whisper of a thought that merely flashed into her mind.

This took a moment of silence, a few ticking's of the clock in the club room to receive an answer from the other. 'Ever the thinker…' The brunette smiled.

"Sometimes…" Yuki began. Resting her head against Mikuru's, she continued, "…when it builds up…and I can't reach a conclusion…"

Silent breathing soothed them as they thought on this…or just relished in this closeness of each other. Time was slow today. Mikuru paid it no mind, giving the ticking clock one last glance before cuddling closer to Yuki.

-This doesn't make much sense to me either…o.o…

Hope you enjoyed, anyway. :3
