Beep. Beep. Beep.

Ugh...

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Five more minutes...

Beep. Beep. Beep.

He groaned, not wanting to face the day and buried his face into his soft and warm pillow. The weight held against him stiffened and Tsuna frowned. Wait, had his pillow ever felt this heavy?

Something dug into his ribs uncomfortably and he adjusted his hold and sighed, content as to where he was.

He curled against his pillow and felt it stiffen again. Frowning, his hand slid up, brushing against cloth to touch something smooth and warm.

"Kya!" He was thrown off the bed at the sudden cry. Hitting his head against the floor, his eyes snapped wide open. A cold chill ran down his spine as a surge of memories came rushing back to him.

"Um," he said. "Hi...?"

Mia looked down at him from her bed, her arms wrapped around herself, her hair in a pretty tangled mess and her face an angry shade of red. They stared at each other before Mia's face twisted into a vicious snarl and Tsuna merely had seconds to react as she lunged at him with a lion's murderous intent. He rolled away just in time as she landed beside him. He scrambled on to his feet but was brought down again as Mia tackled him from behind and into the ground. He yelped as they went down.

He could not believe this was the same girl that was suffering alone at night in her sleep. Mia was completely different as she wrestled with him on the floor. Her strength surprised him as they rolled from side to side, knocking things off her tables and shelves. Eventually she managed to overpower him - something that he totally did not see coming - and pinned him down while straddling his waist.

He could have thrown her off if he wanted to but their current position paralyzed him from head to toe.

He would have had a bloody fit if Mia's face hadn't loomed into view.

Her face was a canvas of different emotions. The most he had seen all week. It amazed him how much she could convey with expressions alone. Some he could name, others were too quick for him to guess but the biggest one was fury. She struggled to compose herself and eventually succeeded. Her eyes glanced to an item on Tsuna's far left. He followed her gaze and saw that it was her pills.

"Um..."

"I've had insomnia since I was younger so I kept those for when I really need it," she explained, her voice low. He turned to look at her, she didn't meet his eyes. "Lately it's been more than just insomnia that keeps me up at night."

"I'm sorry," he blurted out. Mia met his eyes at last and stared at him for a long moment. He didn't break his gaze away. In a second, she wiped her expression clean, making it hard for him to guess what she was thinking.

"Why, pray tell," she started with that same low tone that had warning bells ringing in his head. "Were you with me in bed?"
