"Zelos, I'm sleepy," Shihna mumbled.

"Hmm?" Zelos looked up from the book he was reading.

"I'm sleepy," she repeated, snuggling closer to him on the couch.

"Do you want to use me as a pillow?" he asked, sliding his arm around her shoulders.

"Well...I guess I will," she murmured. She yawned, and leaned against him. "You're so warm."

"Mmm...you're soft," he answered, toying with her hair.

"Leave my hair alone," she growled softly, swatting his hand away.

"Sorry," he mumbled. He kissed her forehead. "Sweet dreams, Shihna."

"Nighty night," she murmured, her eyes drooping.

"Why, hello there, Sleeping Beauty," Zelos mumbled. "Did you sleep well?"

"Mmm," she answered, stretching out her arms. She noticed that someone had placed a blanket over her. "You stayed here the whole time?"

"Well, of course I did. It's not every day that I get the opportunity to be your pillow."

"Weren't you bored?" she asked, snuggling closer.

"Nope. I was reading the whole time. Besides, I'd never get bored of watching you sleep." She doesn't need to know that I only spent half the time reading my book, and the other half watching her.

"You're weird," she mumbled, her face flushing.

"Not as weird as you," Zelos retorted. "You seem to have multiple personalities, hitting me one moment and cuddling with me the next."

"Well, if you would stop flirting with other girls, I wouldn't have to hit you!"

"I only talk to them to make them go away. Is that a crime? And you know that you're the only one that I give service to at ni-"

"Wh-What?! Sh-shut up!" she exclaimed. "W-We haven't even...We...I..." Her face got even redder.

"How about tonight, gorgeous?" he whispered seductively, blowing on her ear.

"Ack!" She pulled away from him, covering her ear. "S-S-Stay away, you pervert!"

"Well, you've already slept with me in a literal sense, so why not in a figurative sense?"

"No way!" Shihna squealed, hiding under the blanket.

Zelos chuckled softly. "I'm just kidding. You know that I wouldn't do anything to you unless you wanted me to."

"I'm not sure if I can actually believe that statement," she grumbled, glaring at him from under the blanket.

"Of course you can," he answered, winking at her.

And she knew...that she could.
