•Staying the night•

_^-^_^-^_- Kanade's pov -^_^-^_^-^_

I had been working on composing a new song for Mafuyu but didn't even realize I had dozed off until I heard a Nightcord notification. My head shot up and I sat up in my chair and clicked the notification. It was a message from Yuki, or well, Mafuyu.

The message seemed vague as it said, "Can I come over? I need to talk to you." Still, I replied with "Sure, I'll be waiting." probably just as creepy sounding.

Soon after, I heard a knock on the door. I get up off my chair and walk to the door, opening it. I saw Mafuyu there, holding an umbrella since it had been raining.

"What was it that you walked to talk about?" I asked, letting him inside.

"My mom." He said, entering in. I sat down and motioned for him to sit beside me.

"What did she do now...?" I asked, trying to sound concerned though it's not very easy for me to do that.

"She just... wants me to be her perfect daughter. I know she is just looking out for me..." He said, pausing. He then sighed, putting his head into his hands.

"She's just being controlling," I say, slightly angry at Mafuyu's mother.

"But she's my mother. I can't just... disregard her." He said, sounding conflicted. 

"Is there something I can do to make you feel better..?" I ask, worried. 

He looked over at me, "Can you just.. be here? It's all I need now..." He replied. 

"Of course, Yuki..." I say, smiling a little. He leaned against me, sighing. I put my arms out and wrap them around him gently.

"Thanks, K..." He said, burying his face in my neck.

I was quiet for a moment, just gently running my fingers through his hair. "Will you be staying the night..?" I asked.

"I probably shouldn't... but I want to." He said, sitting up a bit to look at me.

"Whatever you want, Maf," I said, looking back at him.

"I wanna stay... with you tonight. Is... is that alright?" He asked, seeming slightly hesitant.

"I don't have a problem with that," I replied.

"That's good..." He said, then yawned.

His yawn had caused me to yawn as well. I hadn't gotten sleep in probably two days. "You should get some rest, Mafuyu," I say.

"You should too... I know you haven't been recently." He said, sounding a little worried.

"...If you want me to," I said, looking away from him.

"Yes, I do." He said, looking determined.

"Okay, okay..." I said, not sounding that convincing.

"I'm not going to sleep till you do," Mafuyu said, crossing his arms.

"I can't exactly fall asleep sitting up..." I say, looking back to him.

He then got off the couch and picked me up. Either he's strong or I barely weigh anything... most likely the latter. "You don't have to do this-" I say, still holding onto him.

"I want you to sleep, so yes. I do." He said, then laid me on my bed. He laid down beside me as well. I looked at him as he looked back. I had an idea but felt embarrassed about doing it... but unconsciously moved my hand out, for Mafuyu to hold if he wanted. 

He looked at my hand, then back to me. He held my hand back. "Goodnight, K." He said, bringing my hand up to his mouth and kissing it. I felt a soft blush dust across my face.

"Goodnight, Yuki," I said, smiling slightly at him as we both fell asleep.

_^-^_^-^_- The next morning -^_^-^_^-^_

I opened my eyes, Mafuyu still in front of me and holding my hand. I had a small smile on my face till I heard a knock on the door. I slowly got up, to not disturb Mafuyu. I walked out of the room and to the front door, opening it.

"Where the hell is my daughter?" said Mafuyu's mother, looking furious at me.
