Theme Thirty Eight: Stay
The party lasted a long time, until half past twelve if the kitchen clock were to be believed. By that time, half of the band had left, so we had resorted to Riku's iPod. Hope had vanished after 'Macarena', and Riku told me that it was something he did every Friday night after about eight.
Having seen the size of Riku's room, I wasn't surprised when he offered us all the chance to stay overnight, with a promise of a big brunch.
There was, of course, a condition. Helping to tidy the front room. I got lucky, I was excluded from this term. It was my birthday, after all.
But that could wait until morning. For now, Riku told us that we just had to open one cupboard, and then we could make our beds with ease. We were all mystified, until we opened the cupboard, unveiling a huge number of various cushions and pillows of all different colours, sizes and shapes.
"All right!" Sora shouted.
"Kairi, Nami, Aqua and Cindy, if you want take Hope's room. I'll leave a note on his door, don't worry."
"Sure!" The four girls grabbed a couple of cushions and ran to the bedroom of the youngest Estheim.
"And us?" Terra asked, piking up a pile of the cushions.
"You four are in my room." Riku told us. "I'll lead you up." He paused. "None of you are allergic to dogs, right?"
We managed to get about forty cushions between us, spread out across the floor of the room in four groups. Riku gave me the bed, taking up one of the makeshift mattresses. Ven and Sora, meanwhile, built a small fort out of theirs, Terra donating most of his, keeping just one for his head. Riku had one spare to make up for it.
After calming down Goofy, we all got ready to sleep. I lay down on the bed and faced outwards.
But what surprised me was when the other four partially stripped. Ven and Sora merely lost their jeans, but Terra and Riku both went down to their underwear.
I turned away, giving them privacy as they got ready to sleep.
