It was now about 3 in the morning, and I was sitting in my room finishing up my project. The mice had fallen asleep on my pillow again, which was fine. The pillows were finished, and the blanket was almost done. I made sure to make the blankets extra soft, and the pillows fluffy for them. Tomorrow, I planned to make individual blankets for them, just in case they fought over the large blanket. As I continued to sew, a knock was heard. One of the mice woke up, so I quickly reassured them to fall back asleep. I got up and opened my door, seeing Keith stand there.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be up this late," I looked up at him, surprised. "I just woke up from a dream. I went to get water, and I saw your light was still on. Everything okay?" He asked as I let him inside. "Yeah yeah, everything is fine. I'm just finishing up a blanket for the mice," I sat back down on my bed and continued to sew. "It's 3 in the morning, (Y/n/n). You should get some sleep. The mice already fell asleep on your pillow," Keith sat down beside me and put a hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him, and saw the concern in his eyes. I smiled and looked back down at the blanket. "I know. But I just wanna hurry and get this done for them," I sewed up the last couple stitches, then turned to the last side of the blanket. "Hey, whats with the band-aid on your finger?" Keith asked, becoming more concerned now. "I pricked it this afternoon. Lance took care of it though," I smiled, thinking of the moment. My cheeks then turned red thinking about earlier in the kitchen. "Ah. Your cheeks are turning red you know," Keith smirked as I dropped the needle on my lap and covering my face. He chuckled and stood up, cracking his knuckles in the process. "I'm gonna head back to bed. You should get some sleep too. Finish this in the morning, okay?" Keith walked and stood in the doorway. I sighed and put my sewing things away. "Yeah, alright. Night, Keith," I smiled at him as he smiled back. "Goodnight, (Y/n)," Keith left the room, shutting my light off while leaving. I got under the covers, and layed down. I hummed as I fell asleep.

~next morning~

"(Y/n), come on, wake up already," I stirred in my sleep, not wanting to get up. Strong hands were placed on my side, gently shaking me. "Please, it's already the afternoon," The voice kept talking as my eyes fluttered open. I looked in front of me to see Shiro kneeling by my bed. "Nngh...Shiro?" I mumbled, my vision a little blurry. "Yes it's me. Good morning," He smiled as he moved his hands away from my body. I slowly sat up, not caring if my hair was a mess. "It's about 2 in the afternoon. I didn't want you to sleep in to late, then not be able to sleep later tonight," I didn't say anything, as I tried to get out of bed. Instead of standing, I practically fell out of bed. Luckily, Shiro caught me. "You must be half asleep. Want me to carry you?" He offered as he helped me stand. I shook my head, still trying to process what was going on. Shiro wrapped and arm around me, and walked me out of my room to the main control room.

"Shiro, you woke her up! Thats good," Allura clapped her hands together and smiled. "She's still half asleep. She just fell out of bed," Shiro replied with a chuckle. Keith walked over and held my hand, leading me to sit down in his chair. He had started to speak, but I didn't actually hear what he said. I just nodded, starting to dose off again. "(Y/n)!!" Lance yelled from across the room. I jolted awake and looked around. "Lance, calm down, she didn't sleep much last night!" Keith yelled back at Lance, causing them to go into another argument. I started to dose off again, but Lance stomped over to me and picked me up before I fell asleep. He held me bridal style, as he started to speak again. I looked up at him, watching him talk back to Keith. Soon, the room went quiet. I looked around, confused, still not saying anything. I turned and looked up at Lance, seeing him stare down at me. "Yeah, you  do need more sleep. I'll carry you to your room for you," Lance spoke to me, then left the room.

The walk to my room was quiet, which was nice for someone who was trying to sleep. He stopped in front of my room, making me pout. I turned myself to face Lance, and I clung to his jacket. "(Y-Y/n)..?" I looked up at him, seeing his face a bright red. "You smell nice..I want to stay with you," I mumbled as I buried my face in his jacket. He started walking down the hall again, now going to his room. He soon stopped and opened the door, then walked over to his bed to lay me down. "D-Do you need me to stay h-here with you?" I smiled as he stuttered, almost giggling. I nodded, making him climb into bed and wrapping his arms around my waist. I smiled and once again buried my face in his chest. "Lance.." I mumbled, falling back asleep. "Yes?" He asked quietly. "I love you..you know that, don't you?" I closed my eyes, smiling. Before I fell asleep, I heard him whisper to me. "No, I didn't know, but I love you too,"
