Sleepless Chapter 18

Her eyelids fluttered open and she sat up tiredly. It felt like she was out for days. She took a look at her surroundings, it was Tidus's room. He was on the ground sleeping…drooling also, Kairi noted. She giggled and poked him in the side. He didn't wake up. Kairi went on a poking frenzy for a minute until Tidus sat up quickly, knocking her down on her back by surprise.

"Kairi, don't…How long was I out?" He asked while he helped her back up.

"Thanks," she said with a huge smile, "I don't know. I passed out too. You were drooling by the way…" As soon as she said 'drooling', Tidus ran to his bathroom and she heard the sink go on. She looked at the clock, five in the afternoon. Kairi grabbed the television remote and turned it on: static. She turned one channel up: static. She furrowed her eyebrows, "Tiiiiidusssssssss!" She chimed loudly. Tidus walked out of the bathroom after he washed his face and looked at her.

"Yeah?"

"Your TV isn't working," she pouted. He sat behind her cross-legged and she handed him the remote. Kairi leaned her back on his chest and sighed, "Fix it."

Tidus laugh as he pulled her a little closer to him. He pressed the volume down a little and started flipping through channels, static, static, and more static. He let out a "hm" and stood back up. "Keep flipping through channels and tell me if you see something." He handed the remote back to her and he started messing with the back of his TV.

"Don't shock yourself!" Kairi warned very concerned as she started flipping the channels. She heard him laugh from behind the television.

"Still nothing?"

"Nothing." She replied with a sigh, "Wait! I just got something…but it's still all fuzzy." Tidus quickly backed away from the TV and checked it. It still had light static.

Some guy with pink hair came onto the screen, "Rejoice, Namine. The hero you've longed for is nearly here." It then showed a shot of a girl with blonde hair smiling lightly, "I'm…I'm happy."

"Crappppp," Tidus labeled as he snatched the remote from Kairi. He flopped on his bed and laid down. He switched the channel to sports…static.

"Hey! I was watching that!" Kairi yelled as she jumped on his bed also.

He sighed, "Why do you girls find drama so interesting?" He flipped the channel back to what she wanted to watch since everything else seemed to be static.

"Because…" she trailed off, her eyes were stuck on the screen. Tidus set the remote down and pulled Kairi's back to his chest. She didn't mind, he's always been pretty protective of her since…she could remember. "It's interesting. And why do you boys find sports so interesting? The same reason why bees are attracted to honey, they just are. It's practically the same." Kairi reasoned. She rotated around to see Tidus's face.

He was blushing, "Whatever." He mumbled as she touched the end of his hair. "What are you doing?"

She smiled at him, "What hair product do you use?"

Tidus laughed as he hovered over her. His hands were pressed on the bed with Kairi's head in the gap. "Completely natural," he winked.

"Not-uh!" She argued. She pushed his arms playfully but his hand slipped off the bed, dragging him down to the floor. During his fall he grabbed his blanket and brought Kairi along with him. He groaned and groaned again once Kairi fell on him. "Why'd you bring me down with you? And who turned off the lights?" She asked a little scared. Kairi heard Tidus laugh.

"It's just the blankets, Kai. Chill," He assured. She started laughing at herself as Tidus pulled the covers away. Kairi rolled down to the floor and onto her back.

"You ok? I wasn't too heavy, was I?" She questioned with a smile. He rolled on his side to face her and shook his head.

"I'm a pretty tough guy, you know," He grinned.

Kairi giggled at his boyish attitude, "Are you?" She reached for his hand and he held it gently.

"Only to make sure you're safe though." He whispered in her ear. She turned to him, his lips near hers.

Do I care for him the way he cares for me? She could either turn away or keep her head still as he moved his lips closer and closer to her…
