Drabble forty-two: Cloud has insomnia.

Mature

Cloud had gone to bed too early, like...six in the PM, which was crazy for a thirteen-year-old. Lily was suspicious but let it go and went to bed around one in the morning as usual.

Cloud had been repeating his abnormal sleeping habits for a month, and Lily couldn't let it continue any more.

"Mou...Cloud keeps going to sleep too early..." Lily pouted at the shop-owner, who she could only hold a decent conversation with at twelve at night.

"Well maybe he actually stays up in his room."

"Why would he do that."

"Why does Cloud do anything?"

Ah.

Lily opened Cloud's door and saw the boy sitting on his bed, reading something calmly. However as soon as his mother barged in Cloud looked up and blinked.

"HEY! What's your problem!"

"What's YOUR problem! Dammit cloud, have you not been getting any sleep the last few weeks?" Cloud became silent and turned away from his mother and nodded slightly. "God, I've been wandering why you haven't been eating lately."

"..."

Lily sat down on Cloud's bed and kissed his forehead.

"Wanta tell your mom about it?"

"...No..." Lily stared at Cloud silently then gave him a small smile.

"Okay, but there's go to sleep, okay?" Lily turned off his small light by his bed side and gave him another kiss on the forehead and forced him to lay down.

"Hey mom?" Lily was about to exit but then looked back and blinked. "Thanks." Lily gave a confident grin.

"No problem Cloud."
