So warm. So comfortable. She wished she could stay like this. Lying in her room, wrapped in her blanket, and listen to the birds chirping when the sun is rising. However, when she slowly opened her eyes, she found herself not in her room cuddling on her blanket, instead, she stared up at the open sky as the sun came up the side of Mt. Hong. The air was bitter as she let a puff of smoke escape her mouth. She was obviously on the roof of the temple. But what was the warmth that was creeping through her body? She turned her head to the source and saw a smiling Brazilian boy with one arm wrapping around her shoulder blades and the other on her waist. As if bringing her close like his Ninja Fred. She'll admit, it was nice in his embrace. All snug and protective. And with his new silk warrior outfit, it was even more comfortable.

She looked at him with a smile over her. He looked so adorable with that sleeping face. Like a new born on their first night in the crib. So peaceful and yet lets out a deadly force of cries if disturbed. That's Raimundo.

How did we get up here? She thought. Not having a single reticulation to the previous night. All she knew was that Rai wanted to show her something and took her to the roof. After that, it was a big blur. She must've fallen asleep.

Then she felt him shift slightly as he slowly opened his eyes. He didn't look surprised, but rather happy as a smiled gleamed onto him.

"Hey," he said.

"Hi," she responded. He turned to see the sun rising.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" he asked.

"Yeah. Rai?"

"Huh?"

"What did you want to show me?" He gave her a smile.

"Isn't it obvious?" He gestured to the rising sun. She let on another smile and cuddled into his arms again.
