I woke up incredibly tired, feeling as if I had gotten no sleep at all. Taking a look over at the black hedgehog beside me, it was clear he was tired as well. I checked our shared alarm clock and saw that it read '12:48'. 

It took a second for my brain to register how late it was. Then again, it was Saturday, so it didn't matter anyway. The rumble coming from my stomach urged me to get up, though. 

I muttered something along the lines of "hmgbgmglmg.." as I got out of bed. Shadow stirred. I hope I didn't wake him up...

I shuffled along to the kitchen. I was still so sleepy... both of us had stayed up late watching a movie, laughing and making jokes like idiots. I would gladly have sacrificed sleep for that though. (As was evident from my drowsiness at 12 in the afternoon.)

I put some toast in the toaster. My ears flicked hearing a familiar low voice behind me. It seems he was just as sleepy as I was. "Rose...?" I heard him yawn. 

I turned around to face him. His quills were a lot messier, different from their usually well-groomed and maintained look. He had bags under his eyes and was clearly very tired. He still looked handsome nonetheless. "Yes?" 

Shadow yawned again. "What are you preparing?" He sat down in a chair next to the kitchen table.

"Toast..." I responded.

"Mm..." I noted fondly that Shadow was dozing off in the chair, his head on the table. 

After I had prepared my toast and eaten it, I took another glance at him.

He had fallen asleep again.

I decided to carefully carry him to our room. I pulled one of our soft quilts over his body and slipped in next to him.

I fell asleep again, happier that I could nap with my loved one instead of alone.
