Author's Note: Many thanks for all of the positive reviews I've received. Remember, without knowing your appreciation for this story, I would have never updated it considering I have a lot going on in my life right now. To my fellow reviewers:

Blitz36: Juggling through every character in the mansion is quite the challenge for me, but I'll keep trying my best to make you keep your word as well!
FestusFlare: The ending definitely won't be as sudden like Cuties, I can promise you that. So hold on tight!

NoKillPlz: I set this fic for T thinking it would reach a wider audience. If I were to make it M, I would make it a separate fic based between some future chapters, but we'll see how the story goes!
Rhapzody: As mentioned in our private chat, it's quite the awesomeness to be looked upon as inspiration. Thank you so much again!

NoName: Well, see for yourself now! lol

See you all again. Enjoy.

Chapter 6: Slumber Party

"So if I were to weigh ninety-nine kilograms, then ate one kilogram of udon, would that make me one percent udon?"

"Hehe.. Hayate-kun, you idiot," Hinagiku laughed as she leaned her head against his chest. "Technically, it should be less than one percent as you would have already started digesting the food."

"Ah, you're right..."

It was a little past five in the morning. The sun still has yet to come and the two have carried conversations since waking up in each other's arms. They have yet to let go of each other.

They laid in this position beneath the blankets without words. Hinagiku still couldn't believe it. Her waist being wrapped by his arms while her hands were placed on his shoulders. She kept her head against his chest, hiding her blush and her smile from him, embarrassed to be doing such a thing, yet at the same time felt so good about it.

Hayate also had trouble looking back at her. For such a beautiful woman to cuddle with him was considered beyond his wildest imaginations and anything else he has encountered with women in the past.

The little girl sleeping in Hinagiku's closet muttered "You bastard..." in her sleep.

He ran out of topics to talk about. 'That awkward silence again...' he thought. 'Don't know if I should leave now or not...' One wrong move was what Hayate was afraid of. He did not want to upset her again.

"H-Hinagiku-san," he broke the silence, quietly speaking her name. She looked up to him timidly.

"Y-y-yes?" she struggled to speak out just as bad as he did. Hayate melted. Her golden eyes pierced through his heartstrings whenever she looked directly at him.

"..."

"Yes?"

"..."

"Hayate-kun?"

"..."

"Uh... Hayate-kun...?"

Hinagiku felt his arms loosen, leaving her body suddenly cold. She hid her sad look.

But then she felt his arms tighten around her waist instead, pulling her entire body closer to his. Chest to chest, legs in legs, just being able to hear each other's breath. Hinagiku panted. Her body temperature quickly changed from ice to lava. She looked up to Hayate, who was blushing just as red as her.

They laid still as the sun rose into her room. The sun opened a light between the two, slowly taking over their bed.

They continued to stare into each other's eyes, now glimmering from the sunlight. Hinagiku can see every part of his handsome face as she stared deep into his cyan eyes.

Hayate couldn't believe the girl right in front of him kept looking more beautiful than ever when she isn't mad. Whatever side she was showing now felt so irresistible. He closed his eyes and slowly leaned closer to her.

'Wait... are we gonna kiss?!' she thought. 'IN MY BED?!' Her blush got even more red than it possibly could at such an impure scene about to happen.

She's never done this before, neither has she ever practiced, but she wants to do the best she can do for him right now. She closed her eyes too, with her mouth partly open, as she slowly leaned towards him.

Her door suddenly opened, revealing a young brunette with a dumbstruck look and a taller girl with short black hair.

"Look Sharna!" the dumbstruck looking girl said, "A couple! A couple about to kiss! A couple about to make this fanfiction possibly change to an 'M' rating! Especially since they're in bed!"

"Fumi-san, they can't do that!" replied Sharna, "It's-it's so... impure..." She blushed at the scene happening in her head as she stares at the couple.

The said couple immediately jumped out of the futon, sitting with their knees on the floor and facing away from each other on opposite sides of the bed.

"K-k-kiss?" Hinagiku muttered, sweating heavily. "We totally weren't gonna do such a thing!"

"Y-yeah!" Hayate added. "She just needed me to stay with her last night... that's all!"

"Well, our job ruining another scene is done," said Fumi. "Let's go home, Sharna." They left the two alone again and closed the door.

The two stayed where they are, unable to turn around to face each other. The moment they had was just impossible to reenact. The tension now was close to unbearable.

'Of course we weren't gonna... and I shouldn't have,' he thought, feeling ashamed of his actions after what Hinagiku said.

Hinagiku also felt uneased after what Hayate said. 'He's right,' she thought. 'He was just doing me a favor in the first place...'

Hayate slowly stood. "I should go..." he said.

"A-ah, yeah..." she muttered. She saddened as she heard his footsteps towards her door.

Hayate stood in front of the door, wanting to say something. He looked towards her, with her back still facing him. 'It wasn't right of me of to stay here like that...' he thought. After all, he is a butler. If his mistress knew, he would be in big trouble.

Hinagiku still felt his presence. She wanted to say something too. She slowly turned her head to face him.

"Hayate-kun," she said. Her eyes looked away timidly as the boy gave her his full attention. "About last night, I... I didn't mean to trouble you. I just had a nightmare where you said mean things to me... then I got mad when I saw you again."

Hayate immediately understood. "I'm sorry..." he apologized.

"No! Don't be!" she said loudly. Hayate jumped a little, surprised of her snappiness. "You're not mean, Hayate-kun! You could never be... I'm always so happy for you to be here with me..."

"Hinagiku-san..." Hayate was loss at words.

"That's why my nightmare would never come true. So.. thank you," she muttered. She hugged her legs and buried her face deep in her knees, hiding her extremely flushed face from the butler.

He stood by her door now slid open. A few seconds of silence has gone by before she heard his footsteps again. She turned her head to her door to see him gone.

'I guess that's as far as we'll ever come to...' she thought. To see him gone from her doorway made her clench her heart tightly. Her heart and body felt cold again. 'Why did I fall for such a troublesome guy?' she thought to herself. She turned her head back in front of her, only to catch Hayate's lips crash onto her's.

Hinagiku's eyes lit up. Warmth spread all throughout her body from head to toe. The warmth from Hayate's lips was so overwhelming, that her body felt numb and she fell back to her bed. Hayate felt her self pull away from him, regretting what he just done right before Hinagiku fought back, supporting herself up with her arms and pushed her lips back onto his with her eyes closed this time.

Hayate's mind exploded. Their kiss was so fiery and even more than it was when she's kissing him back. The taste of strawberries spreading all over his senses. So soft and wet that he felt like he was drowning in her lips. His eyes slowly closed as he was about to lose his consciousness into this abyss.

'Am I... dreaming again?' Hinagiku thought, with her eyes still closed. 'This is real, right?' She pulled back for air for a quick second before she planted another enduring kiss to his lips. She couldn't tell, yet she didn't care. How long has she been waiting for this? How deep were her feelings for him? She wanted him to know for just so long.

'I'll do this... until I wake up then.' she thought.

Hayate felt her arms wrap around his neck, pulling him against her body and over the futon. Surprised by her actions, Hayate couldn't stop melting. 'Hinagiku-san is...' he thought. There was no word to describe her. That person he's been looking up to for so long, the smartest and most beautiful he's ever come across, the one who always gave him the best regards, is giving him the honors of sharing an intimate moment with her. His mind couldn't stop thinking whether he should be ashamed or happy to kiss a living legend of Hakuo Academy.

They slowly pulled away, with a long string of saliva disconnecting from their lips. Their eyes slowly opened up to each other, the abyss ending and revealing her room now in full bright sunlight.

"W-w-wow..." was all they could mutter in unison. After a few seconds of silence, they both began to laugh quietly. Both blushing from what felt like a couple of intense minutes, it was clear that their feelings have finally come across. Neither could express just how happy they were.

Hinagiku continued to laugh until she saw a figure above Hayate's shoulders, standing in the open doorway and holding a broom.

"M-Maria-san?" she called. Hayate stopped laughing and turned around to look at the still maid behind them. He facepalmed himself, forgetting to close the door.

The maid kept her composure, yet had trouble speaking after standing there for the past five minutes.

"Br-br-br-breakfast i-is r-read-d-y," Maria stuttered. "But I s-see that you two already had s-some."

The couple blushed at what she meant. Before either of them could say anything, Maria sprinted away.

It was past six in the morning and a new day has barely begun.
