Summer days induced sleepiness, causing Obanai to be constantly bored but too lazy to do anything. In hopes to cure his dilemma of having nothing to do, he called Mitsuri. She was quick to answer and eager to please, having her mother drop her off at Obanai's house. But apparently even Mitsuri's never ending enthusiasm was dampened by the hot weather, and they ended up laying aimlessly on the couch, staring at the ceiling and talking.

Somewhere through Mitsuri's explanation about why one of her cats was refusing to go in her bedroom, she trailed off. Obanai took a moment to realize that she wasn't just thinking and he propped himself up, gazing down at Mitsuri. She was curled up, back facing him, her eyes closed. She must've fallen asleep, he realized, and smiled to himself. Oh, well, they could both use some sleep to pass time. So Obanai lay back down, letting himself relax into a dreamless sleep.

Some time later, he awoke to the sound of rain. A bit confused, mind muddled from sleep, he blinked, turning to the window. His eyebrows lifted as he realized it was raining, the trees outside swaying in time with the wind. The drastic weather change threw him off for a moment and he struggled to understand if he'd slept a whole day.

Then he felt Mitsuri rolling over, still asleep as she found a more comfortable position. He sought out his phone, noting it had been a couple hours since they'd fallen asleep. Likely, Mitsuri's parents were wondering what she was doing now. It was beginning to get late anyway, and she'd promised to be home by 5. It was 6, now, but he hoped the rain was enough explanation for her lack of response to their undoubtedly worried texts.

Gently, he nudged Mitsuri, trying to wake her up. "Mitsuri..." he whispered, moving one of her braids to settle against her back.

Mitsuri shifted, but didn't awaken right away. After repeating the process again, Obanai managed to get her to sit up, her hands closing to rub at her eyes. She mumbled something of question, yawning.

"It's, uhm, six," he explained. "You probably have to get home now."

With that, she snapped awake, grabbing her phone to frantically text her parents. Obanai waited patiently until she'd sorted things out, watching her expressions change quickly. She was always so expressive, and he adored that about her.

After a while, she looked up with an apologetic smile. "Is it alright if I just stay here for the night? Something happened with some tree that fell in my neighborhood... I think from the wind? So they're not allowed to drive through, and I live on those dead end roads," she explained, eyes flicking down to her phone. "If not, I can tell my parents and we'll figure out a way to get me back."

Obanai was reasonably surprised, but shook his head. "No, it's fine. I'll consult my cousin, but she usually doesn't care," he promised. Their parents were gone for some time, and given that his cousin was eighteen, he was put in her charge for the moment. She was honestly bad at her job, but it meant more freedom for him.

"Are you sure? Can you ask her now? I want to tell my parents," Mitsuri said, then quickly added, "they won't mind either answer, I just don't want them to worry any longer."

Nodding, Obanai stood and maneuvered the house to his cousin's room, knocking and waiting impatiently. She appeared after a moment, raised an eyebrow, and interrupted him before he could get two words out.

"Do whatever. Just leave me be," she said flatly, then shut the door in his face.

...alright. It wasn't Obanai's fault if she got upset at Mitsuri's stay.

He returned to the living room, giving Mitsuri the okay. She confirmed it with her parents, reassured them that it was Obanai and she'd be fine, then pocketed her phone.

"Ahh, I'm sorry about that," she fretted.

"No, no. It's okay. You're staying the night, right? Are you hungry?" he asked. He wasn't hungry himself—would've just skipped dinner—but Mitsuri nodded and they moved to the kitchen.

Once they pulled some random foods from the fridge and the cabinets, Obanai made some quick sandwiches, not quite wanting to cook and risk his cousin being annoyed by the smells. They settled down to eat, and Mitsuri chatted animatedly, quite refreshed from the nap and the cooler temperature. After they finished eating, they departed to Obanai's room, taking the safer bet in staying out of anyone's way.

The rain continued on, and somewhere around 10, Obanai glanced outside. It had gotten dark a couple hours ago, but now he could barely see anything out the window except the street light that glowed pitifully against the blur of the rain and the darkness around it. Mitsuri followed his gaze, humming something of content.

"Rain sounds are so pretty," she commented, beaming when Obanai agreed. "They make me tired, sometimes. But we slept earlier so I'm not too tired now..."

"We can stay up," Obanai offered. He didn't feel like sleeping much, either.

Mitsuri pondered this, her teeth tugging at her bottom lip. "Okay," she agreed, after a moment. "But let's sleep at midnight, maybe? I don't want to be tired tomorrow."

With that agreed to, they took brief showers and Obanai offered her some of his bigger clothing (which admittedly fit Mitsuri a bit snuggly), and they clambered into his bed. Mitsuri kept up a steady conversation, skipping through topics and leading most of the talking. She seemed happy with it, snuggling closer to him and pulling the blanket to her chin. The night dozed on but they remained awake until nearly 1 a.m. when Mitsuri checked her phone and panicked at how they'd lost track of time.

She was keen on sleeping, and Obanai caved, allowing himself to be pulled down and join her in resting. Though he couldn't bring himself to fall asleep, Mitsuri somehow managed to drift off amazingly quickly, her arms wrapped around him as her breathing steadied out.

Quite late into the night, somewhere around 2 a.m., Obanai heard the faint sounds of his cousin finally ceasing her unnecessarily loud music and settling into sleep, as well. The rain was still going, as was Obanai's body's apparent lack of interest in resting. Mitsuri continued providing him with warmth he wasn't used to, and he found himself pulling her closer at one point, bringing the blanket higher to tuck around her more tightly. He closed his eyes, trying to match his breathing to hers. Before he knew it, his mind was wilting, dipping into the unmistakeable signs of fatigue. It could've been the pattering of raindrops on the roof, or the steady rise and fall of Mitsuri's breath, but Obanai was finally lulled into sleep, sinking into her embrace and letting the late hour whisk him away into hazy dreams.
