Little breaths cascade off the walls of the bedroom, the only other sound being the gentle chirping sound of the nighttime crickets.

Hyde was seated on the floor next to his eves bed, watching every breath he takes in; every breath he exhales.

This was something he did often, watching his eve sleep. It was something he found oddly relaxing. The permanent scowl his eve had on his face softened, now leaving a content and peaceful face in its wake.

A sigh escaped him, placing his hand on his face as he continues to stare. He would never admit this to his eve, but his face was always so much more beautiful to him when he was calm.

Of course, he thought he was beautiful either way. Something he definitely wouldn't admit to him, since he knew he would more than likely get a big kick in the throat for that.

A slightly disgruntled sound snaps the Servamp out of his thoughts, snapping his head to to his eve, who is now staring straight at him.

A startled breath escapes him, his eyes glancing around to every corner of his eves room, trying to find any escape route he could.

What he didn't expect was his eve letting out a small snort, letting himself settle down again against his pillow.

His eyes snap up to the sight, feeling himself relax despite himself. "Angel-Chan..?" He treads carefully, watching his eve for any sight of aggravation.

He didn't expect his eve to open his eyes again, staring at him with calm eyes. "What do you want, stupid Hyde?" His voice was tired from sleep, and there was no bite in his tone. He didn't look angry, more confused than anything else.

"Nothing. Go back to sleep." He murmurs out, still gazing at his eve with hidden affection. He knew that he could never openly show how much he truly cares for his eve, knowing that he would more than likely suspect him of doing some evil demon thing, but he couldn't help himself sometimes.

"No," his eve responded rather childishly. He pauses for a moment, watching his Servamp with a hawk eye, before saying, "You were watching me sleep. Why?"

Time seems to suddenly slow down on Hyde as he replays the words once, twice. When he finally realized he got caught, he turns his head to the side as his cheeks become a rosy color. The room was rather dark, the only light being the candles lit next to his eves bed.

He could only really see his face as the candles flicker, making his eve seem much more calm than before. "Angel-Chan.. You don't seem mad about it?" It was more of a question than a statement as the Servamp watches his angel with utter confusion.

Silence is his answer for the longest time, to the point of the vampire boy worrying that his angel had fallen asleep.

"You still haven't answered my question, shitty Hyde." The response startles him at first, he was almost one hundred percent sure his eve had fallen asleep.

Noticing that his eve evaded the question, the Servamp of greed couldn't hold back the smirk that curled on his face.

"I think you look very peaceful as you sleep, Angel-chan! You don't beat me senseless when you sleep, either!"

His response was a loud groan and a glare, though, surprisingly, Licht did nothing more. Just rolled over onto his stomach, shoving his face into his pillow.

His eve mumbled something against the pillow, something he almost didn't hear, "Go back to sleep, Hyde. If you even slept at all."

A sheepish smile replaced the smirk, as he scratched his cheek in what could be seen as embarrassment. "I haven't slept tonight. I tried but.. that futon bed can get uncomfortable in the summer," he explains, watching his eve nod his head slowly against the pillow, signaling for him to continue. "I thought watching you sleep would surely lull me to sleep."
