Mix made it back to his room and almost collapsed as he teleported in through the window.
Mix thinking: This week has been so much work.. I'm exhausted.
He tossed his bag into the corner, which made a crashing sound since it's full of throwing stars. He was luckily smart enough to take Frozen Soldier out of the bag before he yeeted it. He placed the action figure sized robot on his desk, then stared at it for a minute.
Mix: This robot.. it's such a strange thing to be entrusted with..
Suddenly he heard the doorknob turning, so he turned around to see who was coming in. Luckily, it was the person he so badly wanted to see. Saten.
Saten: Mix? I didn't know you were here yet.
Mix: I got out of training today since some uh.. stuff happened.
Saten: Hehe, stuff, huh? Anything to do with that guy?
She smirks and points to the tiny giant robot.
Mix: Yep.
Saten: I know you explained it to me already, but it's so crazy to think about..
Mix: Mhmm. Anyway, come in. It is half your room after all. Let's finally be in it together.
She smiles, then enters and closes the door behind her. Mix sits at his desk, and Saten sits at the edge of the bed. He couldn't help but stare for a moment. Since a bunch of students all lived here, they tended to roam around in their pajamas a lot. Saten was an example in this case, and Mix couldn't help but notice how cute they made her look.
She was wearing a green tank top, gray shorts, and pink fuzzy looking slippers. He snapped out of his staring when he heard her giggle.
Saten: Hehehe, you really do stare a lot.
Mix: S-Sorry! I just um..
Saten: Could it be how I look, perhaps~?
Mix blushes as he realizes he's being obvious again.
Saten: Hehe, yep. Well, thank you.
She smiles, and Mix calms down quickly.
Mix: Your welcome. Yaaaaawn..
Saten: Sleepy?
Matt: No, I'm fine.
Saten: You're eyes are closing, Mix. How much have you slept this week?
Mix: Oh, you know... some..
Saten sighs, then smiles and goes over to him to put a hand on his shoulder.
Saten: Mix, you need sleep. Why not lay down now?
Mix: Nooooo.. I wanna.. yaaaaaawn... spend time with you..
Saten smile only grows, seeing him fight off sleeping just to talk with her.
Saten: We can talk in the morning. Right now, it's time for bed.
She then takes his hand, and slowly leads him over to the bed. He objects a little, but doesn't really put up a fight. She lays him down, then throws a blanket over him. He sighs happily, as coziness is achieved.
Saten: Hehe, much better than the floor, huh?
Mix: Mhmmmmmm..
Since Saten had moved in, he'd given her the bed every single night, opting for a sleeping bag on the floor instead. She appreciated it, but it was time he had a good night of sleep.
Saten: Good. Now rest, Mix. I'll be here in the morning.
Mix: N-Noooooo..
Before he can object any further, she strokes his hair and shushes him quietly.
Saten: Just rest, and listen, Mix.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Saten closes her eyes, and begins to sing softly.
She sang him a lullaby. As much as Mix wanted to spend time with her, this was all it took. Her gentle singing voice slowly but surely drifted him off to sleep, a small smile stuck on his face.
When Saten finishes her song, she smiles at the sleeping boy before her, then gently kisses him on the cheek.
Saten: Sweet dreams, Mix.
Suddenly, his phone went off on his desk. Rapidly.
Saten: Hm?
She went over to see he had gotten a whole lot of texts all at once. All from Tina, who Saten had meant briefly once this week. They read as follows.
"Another Terror attack"
"They're back"
"Lots of them"
"All massive"
The next one gave a location, and Saten knew where it was. She glanced at Frozen Soldier, then the sleeping Mix nearby.
Saten thinking: I... I can let him rest. I'll go help them.
Saten changes clothes quickly, then grabs the small soldier. Then, she realized something.
How does this thing get bigger? She looked at Mix again, and decided to ask. She got real close, and whispered in his ear.
Saten: Hey Mix~?
He responded in his sleep.
Mix: Mmmmm...?
Saten: How do I activate Frozen Soldier?
Mix: Mmmm.. access link...... gooo..
Luckily, the small figure didn't grow on his command.
Saten: Thanks Mix.
She gave him a second kiss on the cheek, then headed out. Off to go attempt at helping in the fight so Mix can rest.
