22. Pillow-chan

Here's the setting : Dan and Shun are in a train.

Why you ask? Because they're headed to a murder site...of course I'm joking. Shun has to visit his grandfather again for the Sem break (for those who don't know, that's around the last days of October and the first few days of November for us…so…no school on those days. :3)

What's different this time is that Dan decided to tag along. The brunette had complained before that it was boring without his friend to play with, but his mom never permitted him to come...until now. The raven-haired boy didn't know what kind of persuading he used on his own mother, but he didn't bother asking. That would arouse more...well, he just preferred not to do so. Still, he was placed in charge of Dan's safety and health. What a big burden to put on a nine-year-old.

The younger child was busy going 'oooh' and 'aaah' over the scenery past the window. They were already in the country-side and would take another hour to reach the stop. Shun knew the area quite well since this wasn't his first time, but Dan couldn't help it; the view was amazing. The mountains were filled with trees and the leaves were color orange since it was almost winter. Though they haven't passed by Halloween yet; the brunette already had plans to what they were going to do...

Out of the blue, Dan stifled a small yawn. "Tired?" Shun asked.

"Not really..." he replied while yawning again. Well it was around 6am in the morning, it would be natural...or so Shun thought.

The boy slid back in to the red chair that they were supposed to be sitting on. And suddenly, Dan rested his head on the elder boy's shoulder while closing his eyes.

The black-haired boy did not react well to that. "D-dan! Get off!"

"But I'm sleepy..."

"Just lean on the wall for now alright?"

"...you're softer Pillow-chan." he flinched. What did he just call him? "Pi...Pillow...chan..?"

"Yeah."

"Since when did you have the right to nickname me?" he asked; clearly annoyed. Yet that didn't work for Dan. He probably had no idea what Shun was talking about.

Again, the brunette tried to sleep on him, but the other child kept moving away. "Stop moving Pillow-chan." the elder boy thought he heard a chuckle from the opposite side to where they were sitting.

"Don't call me that!" he retorted.

"Shun, please..?" he asked while rubbing one of his eyes. He was about to say no when he remembered that he had to be the one taking care of Dan. He had the responsibility of doing that and no one else for the time being…anyway; it would just be a couple more minutes. "F-fine..."

"Thanks..." he responded while showing a small smile. Dan then proceeded to lean on Shun and quickly fell asleep.

Again, the kid thought he heard someone going 'awww' nearby. He pushed his embarrassment away and chose to rest his head on his friend until they reached there.

He found himself sleeping as fast as Dan did.

He didn't like it, but his friend's need would count more than his own.

A/N : Double update! Inspiration from my friend suddenly calling me that while she tried to rest on my shoulder. She said I was soft, but I kept on moving a lot. I asked my little sister about it and agreed with her. o_o;

I would be the one going awww over him in the train. XD Wouldn't you? Please Review~! (10/6/10)
