Again... Hika-kun is luffs. :3

Warning and Disclaimer: Nothing to warn, just a bit of HikaXKao-ness, but that's always good. :D


Moment Three:

-Sleep

You want me to sleep with you?


The computer screen glares at me, my fingers flying across the keyboard, the quarterly report has to be finished- I run a hand through my hair, reading the words, sentences through and through.

I always worked hard, it's just who I am. It doesn't matter that I've hardly slept in the past few days, and the amount of coffee I consumed each day actually amounted to more than five cups.

That can't be healthy- but I have work to do.

I blink as I hear a knock on the door- a timid knock, as the door creaked open slowly. He paces sleepily into the room, a light pink bunny held in his arms, his pajamas decorated with light blue lines. He blinks at me, meeting my eyes- and really, he looks so innocent-

"Kao-kun, what are you doing still awake?" he says, sitting onto my bed, holding the plush rabbit close to him, and he yawns.

"Hika-kun, why aren't you asleep?" I retaliate, turning around to focus on my work again.

"I can't. It's too dark in there," he mumbles softly, and then, he asks softly, "Can you sleep with me, Kao-kun?"

"What?" I widen my eyes, whipping around to see his begging gaze, innocently oblivious.

"Please, Kao-kun? It's dark there, and then I can't sleep if the lights on…" he trails, but that's not what I'm concerned with-

"You want me to sleep with you?" And somehow, it sounds wrong when I say it.

And he nods, his innocent hazel eyes fixed on me, "It feels lonely in a big house like this."

"Hikaru," I sigh, closing my eyes-

"Hika-kun."

I sigh, tiredly, "Hikaru, how old are you again?"

He lowers his eyes to the ground, bringing his legs onto the bed, his pale hands clutching at his plush bunny, "You think like that too?"

And I blink, watching as he hugs himself.

"Oneesan kept saying that," he says, almost inaudibly, his eyes glazing over, "And she's gone now…"

He looks up at me, imploringly his hazel eyes watering, "Don't think like that, Kao-kun…"

I'm taken aback and he continues to watch me, as if he wants me to answer. I nod, slowly, "Alright, Hikaru."

Suddenly, he lights up happily, like a beam of laser light, and out of nowhere, his hand catches my hand and he drags me over to the bed, pushing me onto the crisp sheets-

"Okay, then! Kao-kun, sleep!" -and he flops onto my bed as well, messing up the sheets, and he puts his bunny in front of my face. I'm staring at him, wide-eyed, before I try to push him away-

"Wait, hold on a second! I have to finish my work!"

"Work can wait later," he chirps, pulling on my arm as I fight to go back towards my computer, in vain. I didn't know someone like him could be so strong. He finally gets a firm hold on me, and pushes me into the mattress, the bed squeaking slightly at the struggle. He smiles above me, as he tucks me into my own bed, before sliding under the sheets as well.

He places his arms around my waist, his head snuggling against my neck, as I try to pry his tight grip off of me. Before long, I give up, and sigh, my eyes sliding close slowly, my breaths slowing.

I needed sleep, so he forced me to sleep.

The thought floats emptily in my head before collapsing in on itself, and I fall asleep for the first time in days.

I don't know about him, but maybe he isn't as shallow as I thought he was.
