I think this is such a cute chapter. 50 reviews thank you so much I love that I can write something you love too.

I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling. It was still dark outside. I glanced over at my nightstand to check the time. The clock read 2:50 AM. I laid in bed for about fifteen or twenty minutes before I realized I wouldn't be sleeping anytime soon.

I pulled myself into a sitting position, and looked at Maka, who was curled up on the end of my bed. Her calico tail was tucked over her nose, but those bright wide eyes told me she was awake.

I stood up and pulled on a shirt and some sweats, then my shoes and walked outside. The cool air almost made me turn back for a jacket, then I decided against it. I wouldn't be out long.

I did this a lot. When I couldn't sleep at night, I'd walk around the block or something, and then come back home. Tonight, however, something told me to walk to Sonny's. I ignored the voice at first, and then after arguing with the impulse, I finally agreed. I walked down the sidewalk, and made it to his house in about twenty minutes or so.

I was surprised to see him sitting on the roof, watching the sky. I thought he'd be asleep by now.

Why did I come here again? I asked myself as I watched him, hidden behind a small tree.

After a few moments of watching him, I finally brought myself out from behind the tree, and Sonny's eyes instantly met mine. He glanced behind him, and then jumped off the roof. He landed and rolled, then stood to his feet, all in a very graceful manner. He made his way over to me.

"What are you here for?" He stood with his arms crossed.

"I honestly don't know." I shrugged and laughed quietly.

"You should go." He sounded kind of angry, and I wondered why. Earlier he'd acted happy to be around me.

"Oh." I looked at my feet.

"My.. uh... parents.." he made up a quick excuse, then let out an angry sigh. "Forget I even said anything... I'm sorry, I'm being a douche." He turned his back, and paced once or twice before looking back at me.

I cleared my throat. "I'll go. Sorry.. I was... I just woke up and needed to get out."

His gentle laugh surprised me. "Obviously."

I frowned and brushed my fingers through my hair.

"Come on. Let's go on a walk or something." Sonny turned his back, and I followed him quietly. I fell into step beside him as we walked out of his driveway, and began following the quiet street.

"You know... you're the only one I feel like I actually get along with here." He stared at his feet as he walked, and I frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, most people act scared of me, or try to challenge me. You acted scared at first but... now you're just.." he trailed off and shrugged.

I shivered as the wind picked up suddenly, and Sonny took off the hoodie he'd been wearing and handed it to me. Underneath, even in the dim light that the streetlight put out, I could see his muscular body. I put on the hoodie and thanked him, not sure what else to say.

Somehow, we managed to wind up back at my place, and instead of letting him leave, I invited him inside. "I know you're cold. Come in for a few and warm up."

After a moment of hesitation, he accepted the offer, and followed me inside. I took off his hoodie and handed it back to him, and he set it down on the table beside the couch instead of putting it back on. I sat down on the couch, and he sat down beside me. "So.. uh..." He rubbed his bare arms, still covered with goosebumps from the chilly air outside.

"Yeah?" I asked, and he shook his head.

I looked down at my hands, and slowly turned my head towards him, trying not to be too obvious. It didn't take me long to see the long scar running from his shoulder, down his back, and disappearing under the waistband of his jeans. "What happened there?" I asked quietly, and he turned his head to look at me.

"Y'mean the scar? I.." he paused and let out a sound that seemed to be a mixture between a grunt and a sigh."Don't want to talk about it."

The scar looked vicious, and though it had obviously been there for awhile, maybe years, it was hardly faded. I started to reach out to touch it, then stopped myself.

Sonny laughed. "Go ahead." I frowned, and ran my hand down the long scar, starting at the tip and making my way down to the small of his back. I felt him shiver under me, and pulled away. "You cold?"

He scratched the side of his neck. "A little."

I pointed to his hoodie, and when he shook his head, I cursed mentally. Those muscles were taunting me.

He stood up. "I should get going..."

Disappointment flared inside, and I tried to ignore it. "You don't have to go. I mean, if you wanna stay the night or something..."

"I..." he sighed and shrugged. "I don't really feel like walking home..." He shot me a slight grin.

"Come on." I returned the grin, then stood up and went to look for a blanket and pillow for him.
