Seto spent the rest of his evening reading his new manual while Mokuba played with the new persocon. Mokuba yawned loudly and stretched around.
"I'm getting sleepy. I'm gunna head to bed. G'night big bro." Mokuba lumbered off to his room, mumbling about who knows what.
Seto continued to read until late, when his eyes began to sting and his head throbbed. He was just about to set his book down when the girl popped up in his face, tilted her head and uttered her single word "Ki". He jumped back a little, then relaxed as he set the book down.
"Are you getting tired? Sleepy?" He tried to get her to understand. He was sure hoping she would.
She sat there for a second, looked up at him, and to his great surprise, nodded to him with a smile. He sat dumbfounded for a brief pause then a grin spread across his usually cross face.
"You are! You understand!" He yawned now as well. "Oh man, let's go to bed." He stood up and picked her up carefully. She smiled and giggled in such a carefree manner, Kaiba forgot his stressful thoughts for a short, sweet moment. He carried her upstairs to his room, avoiding the maids who followed him, trying to get a peek.
He set her down on his bed trying to decide what to do with her. He didn't know weather he should recharge her or to put her to bed in the guest room. She certainly looked fine, not needed to be recharged, so he finally decided on taking her to the next room to tuck her in. She was still and obedient as he covered her up, but when he turned to leave she whimpered and grabbed his shirt.
"Huh? You don't want me to leave? Well how can I go to bed if I stay?"
She whimpered once again as he tried to leave. "Kiii…" She looked up with huge, sad eyes begging him not to leave her. He thought to himself, finally giving in to her attempts.
"Alright, you can sleep with me. But you're going to have to sleep in her eventually, ok?"
To his surprise again she nodded, with a wide grin. She laughed as he carried her back to his room and tucked her in the soft, white comforter. Her pale blonde hair fell in smooth ribbons over the pillow and sheets. She calmly smiled up to him as he turned to go to the bathroom to change into his own pajamas. When he returned, she had already slipped into sleep. He climbed in the warm bed and settled down to relax. Her presence beside him calmed him somehow, and made him even more drowsy…
