Lullaby
Meta Knight lay snuggled under the covers with Kirby, kissing his forehead every few seconds and stroking his cheek. There had been another fight today. The mansion was unusually tense lately, people would often lash out at each other over the littlest things. Though Meta Knight could care less, as long as nobody messed with Kirby, the pink puffball was troubled greatly by it all. He couldn't understand what would drive his friends to be so unhappy. It made him sad to think about. And the more he worried, the less he slept. This was the thing that concerned Meta Knight.
He couldn't make anyone stop fighting (though he certainly could try), but he needed to find a way to make Kirby fall asleep. He was starting to look weary.
As Kirby let out a frustrated sigh and pushed his cheek closer to Meta Knight's hand, it occurred to him to sing Kirby a lullaby. Maybe that would soothe the puff.
He started out low, in a just audible voice...
"Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line.."
Kirby looked at him in surprise, but kept his lips sealed. It was a rare moment indeed when Meta Knight sang.
"It's nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line.."
Kirby hummed contentedly and snuggled closer, his eyes slipping shut. Meta Knight noticed this and smiled. Finally Kirby would have a good night's sleep.
"If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn't that be something..."
In no time, Meta Knight's deep, soothing voice had lulled Kirby to sleep. He wrapped one arm around him and kissed him on the forehead, also settling down for the night. The even tempo of his breathing was enough to put him into a deep slumber.
