Midnight Insanity
A/N: Hello all, I have returned! This past year has been so incredibly stressful, and fanfiction was placed on the back, back, back burner. But, alas, I am back in business for the summer! My sister and I will be finishing up our wacky story Organization Cheese (check it out!) and I will continue to write and post drabbles. I have quite a few simply waiting to be typed up. I read this drabble after writing it more than a year ago, and it made me chuckle. Please enjoy and review!

Drabble Challenge: Pillow
"Holy guacamole, Roxas, do you sleep in your car or something? You not only have a pillow in your back seat, but a comforter, too?" Axel was hitching a ride from his friend Roxas to go meet their study group at the library.
"I…uh…had a pillow complex when I was younger." Roxas blushed a bit, looking down.
"YOU? NOOOO!" Axel gasped (although in reality, he knew Roxy was a baby boi at heart). Roxas didn't reply, only started the car in silence. That conversation was over…
"Uh…Roxas...why do you have a makeshift bed in your back seat?" Demyx asked, peering through his friend's window, waiting for Roxas to get into his car and drive off with Axel from their study session.
"I like to sleep, okay?" Roxas said defensively.
"Roxy needs his blankey. Roxy needs his pilloooow!" Axel chimed in, teasing. "That's the REAL reason!"
"Hey, I don't care. Can I take a nap?" Demyx inquired.
"NO!" Roxas interjected suddenly, loud and defensive. Demyx and Axel stared. "I…I mean…I was just taking them to the laundromat. I don't really think you'd want to sleep on those dirty things."
"Psh, I don't care!" Demyx threw open the car door Roxas had subconsciously unlocked five minutes before, and dove onto the back seat of Roxas's compact.
"Ah…this is the life…" Demyx stretched out, making himself comfortable as Roxas watched in terror and Axel chuckled.
"Oh! I feel something stiff…hold on!" Demyx reached under the covers to pull out a note. All color drained from Roxas's face. "Roxas," Demyx started to read, "My baby boy, all grown up and gone to college! Here's a matching sheet and pillowcase to make you feel better, decorated with your favorite theme! Love, Mom and Dad."
Axel commented, "Aw…how sweet! What are you so embarrassed about, Roxas? It's not like there are unicorns and ponies and strawberries on your sheets…"
Roxas turned away, his face becoming a shade of deep red. Axel looked at Demyx, who lifted the plain blue comforter to unveil the sheet underneath.
"…"
"Oh..."
