Lightly
He left Shiki alone for one minute and she fell asleep.
She only came over because he was going to help tutor her for her upcoming test. He was about to get some drinks for the both of them and didn't expect to find her like that when he returned. She was sat down, back against the side of his bed and knees drawn up. Her head was leaned back against his blanket.
Neku placed the drinks on his desk and approached the sleeping girl, crouching down in front of her.
"Hey. Wake up." Evidently, Shiki was not a light sleeper.
He poked the side of her face. "I'm not the one with a test, you know."
She didn't seem to feel that.
"You know, it's not really smart to fall asleep in a guy's room."
A light snore was all he got as a response.
Maybe it was a sign of trust that she wouldn't have any second thoughts about dozing off in his room. Or maybe she was so tired that it didn't even cross her mind. Or maybe she just didn't see him as a guy.
Either way…
Neku sighed, getting up to retrieve one of his spare blankets. He draped it around Shiki's peaceful figure and removed her glasses setting them on the desk.
He might as well do his own homework now, since he had the time. Opening his textbooks up, he spared a glance at Shiki, who had stopped snoring and was just breathing in and out deeply. She had the tiniest of smiles on her face. She must be having a good dream.
There was one last absent-minded thought he had, before Neku concentrated on his maths:
I wonder if I'm in that dream.
A/N: Tadaa! I make myself happy when I write these fics. It's because I love NeShiki so much ;-; Thanks for all the reviews in the last chapter! And thanks for reading this one :'D
