AN/ Haha... I don't really have any excuse for this being late... I just procrastinate like my life depends on it =_=; So please accept this as a sort of apology... I'd also like to thank the people who reviewed/faved/alerted this: Briggita101, Fantasiaa, monique007, lazeee an demented, Kyrou, Hakumei-chan, Shut Up Blond B. (I didn't want to write that last part...), kitsunenari-chan, Hermina05, and angel121005. It means a lot to me!

Now, onto the story!

Disclaimer: I don't think No.6 would even exist yet if I owned it...

Sion's hair. It was so shiny, like starlight... It looked cleaner than fresh snow, and softer than the fluffy down of a chick. Nezumi wanted to touch it. A lot. Some may call him obsessed, but that wasn't true! He just wanted to feel those silky strands slip through his fingers, wanted to see if it would shimmer in the light, wanted to- alright. So maybe he was a little obsessed, but he had a good reason! If Sion ever wanted to dye his hair (the chances of that happening were close to zero) then he had to know what kind of hair he had to make sure the job was done right. That was it, not because he thought it was beautiful or anything... nope.

Glaring at the clueless source of his "issues", Nezumi sat and fumed on the small couch. Sion simply shrugged and continued reading on the other side of the room. He must be in a foul mood from work, he thought blissfully. He was completely oblivious to the plotting going on in in that very room.

If I wait until he's busy, I can just brush against him and he'll never know! But knowing that airhead he would notice! Maybe I should just ask him-no! That would be weird, and my pride could never take that. Gah! What is wrong with me?Nezumi gave nothing of his internal struggle away. Thankfully, his sanity was saved when Sion decided to go take a nap.

The atmosphere was far less awkward with the temptation removed from the vacinity, so our favorite rodent decided to do something productive; read. He sat there for a few hours, and managed to read through two or three of his favorite plays until he decided he would have to wake up his companion. The kid would be awake all night if he napped for more than two and a half hours. Nezumi had learned that the hard way.

Having distracted his mind for so long, he was completely unprepared for the urge to touch that hair to return. And so, his fingers were intertwined in the strands of starlight before he could think twice. Giving in to the irresistible softness, he let his hands do their work. Sion would smile and hum happily every so often, making Nezumi feel slightly more at ease with what he was doing. Not that he'd ever admit to doing it, of course.

Twenty minutes later, Sion awoke to a rather awkward looking Nezumi shaking his shoulder. "I had a really nice dream..." For some reason, he felt compelled to inform his friend of the rather comforting dream he'd had. He didn't notice the other freeze for a millisecond.

"...Really," Crap. How could he have let this happen? He shouldn't have given in! Nezumi cringed inwardly, feeling slightly dirty. The albino didn't seem to mind his short answer, and continued on with his desription.

"Yeah! It felt nice. It reminds me of how my mom used to comb my hair for me when I was little," The wistfulness in his tone was blatant. Suddenly, Nezumi had a brilliant idea (although he never said anything).

Sion never did find out about the "incident", but he found himself sleeping far better lately, and Nezumi seemed to have a smirk on whenever he woke up. It was safe to say that the new routine was quite perfect. Until Sion woke up and discovered his housemate's "hobby". Not that he was angry (he actually enjoyed it), but Nezumi ended up a little flustered. The affair was solved with a simple compromise; the hair-thing would continue, and no one would find out about Nezumi's nightly activities. It was a good deal, and their little routine continued on soundly.

...That was crap ;_; I apologize. My procrastinating ways captured me and took me to the wonderful world of "I'll do it tomorrow". School also helped. The next one will be better! If anyone wants me to write something specific, feel free to tell me! Grammar/spelling corrections would be nice too...
