Room 203 was at the end of the hall but you continued to march down. Hopefully he wouldn't turn you away. Sure he was helpful but there was the matter of his personal space with he loved dearly, so maybe this wasn't such a good idea. Well there was no turning back now as you reached the room. A small light came from under the door and bright, poppy music could be heard.
You knocked on the door without hesitation half hoping he would still be awake. Inside there was a small yawn followed by a couple of footsteps. The door opened slightly, the light from inside filled the hallway. A head poked out from the crack into between the door. Realising it was you and not some stranger Kiku opened the door. He was wearing a light blue long sleeved shirt with a matching pair of pants with little leeks printed on them.
"_-san," Kiku said and nodded his head slightly.
"Hi Kiku," you gave a weak smile followed by a small wave. Maybe this is a bad idea.
"What are you doing here so late at night? Did something happen?" Kiku asked, squinting his eyes slightly trying to get a better look at you.
"You could say that," you said and clutched the blanket around you tighter. "I had a nightmare. A um, pretty scary one."
Kiku's interest suddenly spiked up, but you weren't sure whether that was a good or bad thing. "A nightmare? What was it about _-san?"
"That's the thing, I can't really remember," you gave out an uneasy laugh. "I remember that there was blood and screaming." You shook your head trying to remember. "No that's all I can remember but trust me it was really scary."
Kiku just stared at you and mumbled something that you couldn't hear. But looking at his eyes you could sense he had a burst of creativity.
"What was that?" You asked.
"Oh, it was nothing," Kiku shook his head. He stopped and thought for a second. "Is there any way I could help you with the nightmare?"
"Well there is a way," you began and stopped yourself. Yep this wasn't the brightest of ideas.
"What is it?" Kiku asked.
"It's nothing," you shook your head. "I don't want to bother you. I mean, it looks and sounds like you were in the middle of an anime."
"I actually fell asleep," Kiku confessed. "But please tell me _." He had dropped of the 'affectionate' san meaning that he was trying to tell you he's being serious.
"Well, it might be awkward," you mumbled.
Kiku blushed lightly at your words but continued to persist. "Do not worry _-san, I'm sure I can help you no matter how awkward it is."
He certainly wants to help you so why not let him? "Well, my sister would always help me out if this kind of thing happens," you began, deciding to describe in as much detail as you could, "because if I try to go back to sleep on my own I have even worse nightmares. So because you're my friend and all I was wondering if you could fill in my sister's role."
"And what role would that be?" Kiku asked with a little yawn.
"Um I usually sleep in her bed," you said quickly looking off to the side. "So I was wondering if I could sleep with you tonight." You looked back up to see a stiff Kiku. "But I know understand with your little issue with personal space that it'd be impossible. Thanks for your help Kiku, good night." You gave a smile and was about to walk away.
"You can stay with me _-san," you heard Kiku say in a quiet voice, making you stop your actions. "I'd be happy to help you out."
You smiled brightly and had to force yourself not to hug him, after all you didn't want to push his boundaries too far. "Thank you Kiku. I know this may be hard for you but you're the best!"
"It's fine," Kiku stammered and stood away from the doorway. "I suggest that, w-we, should go to bed. It looks like you might pass out soon."
"Uh, okay," you gave a small smile and stepped into the room.
Kiku turned off the TV once you had found your way to the bed. He hesitantly hovered the side of the bed before getting under the covers.
"Thank you again," you whispered. "And to show my thanks I promise that I won't invade your space."
"Thank you _-san," you heard Kiku quickly thank.
"Night Kiku," you said. You weren't sure if he had said good night back because as soon as the words were out of your mouth you were asleep.
You woke up with the feel of someone squirming next to you. You decided to open your eyes and saw Kiku, trying to get out of your grip. Immediately you let go of him, much to Kiku's relief and shock of actually waking you up.
"Sorry Kiku," you apologised and sat up.
"_, you know how I feel about my personal space," Kiku scolded and got up from the bed.
"I know, I really am sorry!" You tried to continue to apologize.
"You even promised," Kiku mumbled to himself before turning back to you. "I hope you do realise that you broke your promise."
"I do," you nodded in agreement. "How about I make it up to you? Breakfast is on me! We can go wherever you want."
This pinched at Kiku's interest. "Where ever I want?" He shook his head. "No, I can't let you do that _-san."
"No I really do insist," you said and got out of the bed. "It's not only to make up for breaking my promise but also for letting me stay the night. Please Kiku, we can even invite Luddy and Feli along." You pressed your palms together and gave his your best puppy dog eyes.
Luckily no one could ever resist your puppy dog eyes. "Fine," you heard Kiku sigh. "But I suggest that you get changed first, I don't think you would want to walk around in your pyjamas."
"Sure thing," you cheered and waked over to the door. "I'll bed around soon so be ready!"
(Wouldn't touch them all night. Odds are, the other person would cling to him and get scolded in the morning)
