As I walked out the door, Haruhi tapped me on the shoulder.
-"Do you have a place to stay?" She asked me, before I shook my head.
-"You can stay at my place. My dad's out for the weekend. Come on." She said and we walked to her apartment. As we got to the door, I saw someone who reminded of one of my co-workers.
-"Dante?" I whispered before being ushered in. I gazed at her home before settling myself on the couch, Haruhi was getting blankets and a pillow before a familiar yet annoying blonde's voice spoke up.
-"You sure are tired." I swear, they are like lost puppies! Follow everyone around, and just make trouble for everyone else.
-"Yeah." I replied and turned my back to them.
-"What do you want, senpai?" Haruhi asked, sounding a little annoyed too. I tried really hard to block their voices, but one word brought me to turn around and stare at them.
-"A sleepover?" I heard Haruhi ask.
-"Really? Okay then. I'm on the couch." I told them, before helping Haruhi get blankets.
-"You guys sleep here." Haruhi instructed which only got the devious reply from the twins.
-"Why can't we sleep in your room?" They asked, which made me almost slap them hard. Emphasize almost. A lot. I lay back down on the couch, my eyes closing slowly. Everything got really quiet and I could tell they were staring at me, which didn't really bother me.
-"Sleep well, Artemis." Tamaki whispered, breaking the silence. I was drifting into sleep, trying to keep my guard up at the same time, which just makes you more tired. I finally let go of trying to keep my guard up and relaxed. I entered my dream world, silently but peacefully.
Haruhi's POV
I came back from the hall closet to get blankets, to find everyone quiet. Artemis was asleep, which probably got stares.
-"Hey, you guys…Tell me where you want to sleep." I said and surprisingly didn't get a comment from the twins. Everyone was staring at something in Artemis's hand. The rose that Tamaki gave her, she was clutching it hard to her chest, as if it held great memories.
"If anyone wanted to know, there's a spare bedroom across from my room if anyone wants to sleep there." I whispered quietly, handing out blankets and pillows. Hikaru and Kaoru were the first to get to the spare bedroom.
Everyone else settled on the ground or furniture. They were still watching Artemis sleep before falling asleep themselves. I trekked back to my room after checking in on Hikaru and Kaoru. With everyone settled, I fell asleep.
Kaoru's POV
Hikaru and I were in bed. I fell asleep fast, since it was a long day at the club. I woke up to a whimpering sound. It was about 2 am, but everyone was waking up, even Kyoya and Honey-senpai. Hikaru woke up a few seconds after me, before falling back asleep. I got up to see where the noise was coming from. Everyone was standing by Artemis. Tamaki was trying to calm her down, but that wasn't working. She seemed to be saying something so we all quieted down.
-"Big Brother…please don't…hate me..I was trying to help.." She muttered which made me go to her side.
-"Boss. I don't think that's working." I informed him before trying to calm Artemis down myself. The blonde girl was flinching every second, and calling out to this 'Big Brother' person. Tears were streaming down her face, then she grabbed my hand. Her eyes opened clearly, but I could tell she was still half-asleep. In a matter of seconds, Artemis leaped into my arms. Everyone gasped, even me. As I tried to set her back down, she just held on tighter.
-"Don't leave me too." She whispered and stared up at me with her green eyes. Yes, Hikaru would be mad but what was I supposed to do, upset her? I carried her to the spare bedroom and we laid beside each other. Who would have thought falling asleep with Artemis could be so comforting?
