I know, I know, I have stories I'm not updating, but honestly, give me a break! School has started up again, I have virtually no time to myself with homework from two AP classes AND Spanish IV, plus I'm going through the hassle of applying to colleges. And then one night, I lulled myself to sleep brainstorming for a Death Note fanfic I'm planning (relax, I'm not concentrating on it until all of my current fics are completed), and though I wanted to avoid romance, the situation I'm putting Matsuda in is just BEGGING for fluff, and now I've got this snippet stuck in my head and preventing me from writing this dang essay I've got to do!
Otulia: In other words, just deal with us. By the way…we're not smart enough to own Death Note. But S is our OC, and her real name shall not be revealed.
When She's Sleeping
Matsuda yawned as he quietly made his way down the hall toward the room he had been using as his living quarters recently. Ever since S had taken him into her confidence he'd found himself spending more and more nights at the Investigation Headquarters. He didn't really mind, as he had no one at home waiting for him, and he had become quite fond of the place.
He paused as he passed the open door to S's room, puzzled by the silence within. Her lights had been turned of, which was no surprise, as she hardly used them anyway, but usually there was at least some indication of her presence.
Hesitatingly he stepped up to the doorway and poked his head inside. "S?" he called quietly, wanting to make sure she was okay. He was answered by a soft sound like that of a snore, and his eyes fell on her sleeping form, huddled beneath the thick blanket on her bed.
Her dark hair had fallen across her face, and the pale fingers of one hand peeked out from under the blanket. For once her countenance was peaceful, all of the worry, grief and pain washed away by slumber. All her disabilities and deformities were hidden, all her illness seemingly nonexistent.
With a smile, Matsuda continued on to his own room, with only one thought in his mind.
She's so beautiful when she's sleeping.
I know it's bad, but it was bugging me. So…yeah. Have a little preview to what may or may not show up eventually.
