Chapter 7

Sleepover

Tomorrow was Sunday, so it's a free time for the teenager to had their time outside, even until midnight.

Daisuke, Takeru, Hikari and Ken had already talked about this. Ken messaged Daisuke that he would gladly come, and his parents had already given him the permission.

So, the trio gathered at the school's park, discussing about where they should settle down.

"I think mine can't. My parents said that they won't go out this night," Daisuke said, looking at the other to find another options.

"Me either," Hikari added slowly. "Onii-chan is staying, and he's not in his mood this morning, so I guess we can't make any noisy sound here,…" she finished, looking at the ground.

"The last option is…" Daisuke glanced at the blond.

Takeru startled. It's really rare to find out that both Daisuke's and Hikari's apartment couldn't become their 'base'.

"I… I don't know. Kaa-san is always going home earlier when Saturday. Maybe I can ask …" he then flipped his cellphone and tapped a numbers.

He brought it closer to his face, while Hikari and Daisuke were looking at him quietly.

A few seconds later, a sudden reply came out.

"Oh, hello sweetie?" Natsuko, her mother replied with a soft voice.

"Ano… Kaa-san,…" he began to sweating. He did want his mother to come home early so that she could have a longer rest, but in this situation, he wasn't sure asking that she would come home early was a good option.

"… What's it, Takeru?" the gentle voice asked. Takeru had to look at his friends, and earned a shrug from Daisuke and shook from Hikari.

"A… Can my friends stay to sleepover tonight?" he said straight to the point. He did not want to ask 'are you come home earlier?' that sounded like he didn't want his mother to go home.

"Of course you can! Why don't you tell me earlier?" she replied with happiness on her voice. Takeru sighed in relief, before continuing.

"Ah, I'm afraid that it will disturb your time in home, Kaa-san. You're always busy, so I thought that it woultn't be nice to disturb your free time, Kaa-san," Takeru explained, feeling a little guilty.

"Don't worry sweetie. Just gather your friends and have fun!" she ended the phone quickly.

Takeru hung the phone, confusion on his face.

"So?" Daisuke asked. Hikari gazed at Takeru, and receiving nod as the reply. She smiled, and told Daisuke that they could.

"Then it decided. On Takeru's apartment on 8 PM!"

It's almost 8 PM. Takeru had already waiting patiently from 1 hours ago. He wasn't sure about all of this, so he glanced at his mother who was putting out a stack of CD and DVD.

"Kaa-san, is that really okay?" he asked as he rose from his seat and helped her.

"It's okay Takeru. When you and your friends are happy, then I'll be happy too," she gently patted her son's blond hair.

"After all, they're your comrades from the first time. At first, I'm afraid that you'll not have a friends in your new school, but then seeing that you made a good friendship with them, I'm very happy," she said, happy to see that her son now was growing up a lot.

"Thanks, Kaa-san," Takeru hugged her, and she returned the hug.

In a sudden, the bell rang.

"There they are," she smiled. "Have a nice time, Takeru! And don't forget to give them 'that'!" she laughed lightly when reached that topic. Takeru whined.

"Kaa-san! I'm saying this is not a party!" but she kept her laugh and entered her room.

Takeru sighed, but then smiled happily. It's his first time inviting the others to his apartment at the night of Saturday.

"Welcome!" Takeru opened the door, but it's only one person and it's not his friend.

"Oops… I'm sorry… I think my friends have come…" he scratched the back of his head, feeling embarrassed of greeted that person with that cheerful smile.

"It's okay," the hoodie-person said. "Because…

"WE'RE HERE!"

Takeru was almost got a heart-attack from the sudden yell. Daisuke and Hikari laughed very hard seeing the blond's dumbfounded face. And, the person with hoodie took off his jacket, revealing Ken inside.

"God, you're really a troll, Dai," Takeru commented when Hikari told him that all of them was Daisuke plan.

"And really…really, you should look your face! AHAHA!" he started to laugh again, but Ken simply elbowed him. He grew silent in an instant.

"So, what will we watch now?" Hikari put out a topic.

"I bring 'Titanic' here," Ken said, handed her the CD.

"Well… I have no comment for that movie," Takeru stated. He didn't say that he didn't like it, but he didn't say that he really liked it. So, when everyone wanted to watch it, he would watch it. If not, then he would not.

"It's up to you! I'm okay with all of titles!" Daisuke said in full of excitement.

"Then the first movie is Titanic," Takeru said, putting the CD in the DVD player.

About three hours of the movie, they watched quietly, in silent. Even when there are a few parts when sniff could be heard.

Ken was the most amused watcher here. He did bring the CD, so he knew well how the movie's going on, and where's the exact time he should bring up his tissue, preventing himself to cry like a baby in front of the others.

Daisuke was enjoying the movie, grabbed a handful of pop-corn and devour it in instant. Takeru had glanced at him for a few times when he did this, and worried about the goggle-boy health by eating that fast-food with that amount.

Hikari stayed quiet. Very quiet. She sat between Ken and Takeru, so she did not put a bit sound not to make the movie disturbed.

"Well then," Daisuke started when the movie ended. "What's next?"

"What do you have, Takeru?" Ken asked, and his eyes ended at the stack of DVD.

"Choose what you want," Takeru grinned. Having the permission, Ken carefully removed a few stacks, and looked each of them silently.

Daisuke later joined him, but he wasn't in expert of movie, so he just watched Ken moving the DVD that didn't have his qualify.

Takeru was watching them when he felt something on his shoulder. He glanced to the left, and found Hikari was already drifted to sleep. Sure, there's a limit for girl's sleep time.

He gently placed her back to her sofa as he put a soft pillow for her head.

"Hey, what's with Hikari?" Daisuke realized that Hikari wasn't put out a sound since the first time.

"She fell asleep, but don't worry," Takeru said without moving his eyes, carefully pulled the lever so that the sofa would be a nice place for her to sleep.

"Maybe she's gotten deep in the movie," Ken grinned, looking at the brunette girl carefully.

"Why don't you put her to your bedroom?" Daisuke advised. "It's better sleeping on bed than sofa," he added.

"You're right, but …" Takeru stopped, didn't know how to say it.

"I'm afraid I can't lift her up," he grinned.

"Ah, it's just like this!" Daisuke became a bit annoyed, and he quickly lift Hikari tenderly. With Takeru's direction guide by his finger, Daisuke put Hikari on the bed carefully, and she rolled a little.

"Have a nice dream, Hikari," Daisuke said, closing the door.

"So, only three left, huh," Takeru joked, and Ken nudged him lightly.

"I'm afraid that it'll become two," he said as he yawned, earning the laugh from Takeru.

"Let the time flow and we'll know," Daisuke randomly threw a CD to Takeru. Hachi.

"Wow, you want to squeeze my tears off, Dai?" Takeru sneered, but he made no comment with Daisuke's choice.

"What do you mean?" Daisuke asked, not knowing what his friend meant.

"You'll know when you've watched it," Ken smirked. No matter how reckless, how stubborn, how thickhead anyone, they still had a heart to cry when watch a sad theme movie. Hachi was the one of them.

When they're not, you can say that they don't have a heart.

The night was ended with only two movies. All of them were already drifted to their own slumber.

And, the tissue that used was countless with finger.

Takeru and Ken had already watched Hachi for a few times, so they had a little resistance, but for Daisuke who watched it for his first time, he was nearly crying all the times. It made Takeru and Ken wasn't in their mood to cry ; they wanted to laugh as hard as they could, seeing the thick-headed goggle-boy crying all the way.

About 5 PM, Natsuko woke up. She carefully went out her room, and smiled when she saw the trio boys who was sleeping uncommonly. Their position was almost made her burst of laugh, but then she wondered where's Hikari?

So, she went to Takeru's bedroom, and found her in it. However, when she opened the door, Hikari suddenly woke up.

"Ah sorry sweetie. I don't want to make you wake up…" she whispered.

"It's really okay, madam," Hikari smiled. "Though, I didn't exactly remembered when I slept and how I ended here," she looked around.

"Then would you help me at the kitchen? I'm sure the boys are starving," Natsuko gazed at her son's friend.

"It would be a pleasure," Hikari smiled and stood up from the bed, following Takeru's mother step.

The table was now full with food, and everyone were gathering around with laugh and smile. Takeru had to sit beside Daisuke, as always ; preventing him devouring all the food. Ken laughed a few times when Daisuke tried to reach a plate of dish, and Takeru moved it away from him. Then, they started a little rumble and Hikari started to laugh too.

Natsuko smiled happily. She was proud of her son that he could make friends that were really knowing each other.

Hikari was the happiest there ; she had a few photos of her friends sleeping face. Soon, she would show them the photos.

10 AM, Daisuke, Ken, and Hikari went home. They waved goodbye and thanked for the food and movie, and Takeru with Natsuko replied with smile.

"Takeru, you should invite them next week," Takeru's mother suggested, and Takeru himself smiled widely.

"Really? Then you should watch with us too, Kaa-san!" Takeru exclaimed, and his mother laughed.

"Well then, next week will be more eventful than this day," she said, closing the apartment's door.

Wow, I didn't expect that this turns out to be long like this !_!
