     It had taken a lot of bugging and pestering for Himiko to agree to sleep at Ouma's house for the night. It has also taken a long time for Ouma to actually get past Tenko, who had been determined to keep the purple gremlin away from Himiko. Himiko didn't mind it so much. It wasn't a case of disliking Ouma, in fact, maybe she liked him a little too much, and though she would never voice it, she was thankful to not have too many encounters with him because simply enough she didn't trust herself enough to make sure said encounters would go well.

     However, eventually Ouma figured out when Tenko would be busy, and every second she wasn't at Himiko's side, Ouma would be there himself.

      "C'mon, Himiko~ Don't be such a stick in the mud!" Ouma would say, "It'll be fun, I promise!~"

       "You're a liar, Ouma," Himiko would reply each time, and rub her eyes, making a great show of being sleepy, even if she wasn't.

       However, Ouma knew what he was doing, and wore her down slowly, over time, gradually, until one day...

      "If I say yes, will you quit bugging me?" Himiko replied to his pleading, and Ouma silently grinned to himself. He knew he had already won. He nodded enthusiastically and Himiko gave a weak sigh, tweaking a strand of her soft red hair. "Nyeh... I suppose I'm free this Saturday..."

      "Brilliant!" Ouma had exclaimed, obligingly gave her the correct directions to his house after a few false directions, and demanded that she be there by 3 pm, sharp. She replied with a noncommittal shrug, explaining that you can't hurry magic.

       However, when Saturday rolled around, Himiko was right on time, and Ouma was elated that the lazy girl could pull her act together just for him. He had quickly taken her bag from her and whizzed up the stairs, and since then, the night had passed pretty quickly.

      "Nyeh, isn't it time to sleep yet?" Himiko asked and hid a small yawn behind her hand, and Ouma gave her an incredulous look.

      "Are you kidding? We have waaaay too much fun stuff to do before we sleep!" Ouma declared. It was 11pm, and the two had already done a great many things which Himiko had enjoyed greatly, but now, she was tired and desperately wanted somewhere comfy to sleep. Ouma, on the other hand, was used to stay awake all hours of the night, and had planned on the two not sleeping at all, but rather watching scary movies all through the early hours of the morning - but still, that wasn't supposed to start for hours yet!

      "Nyeh..." Himiko blinked sleepily and rested her head on the arm of the couch she was curled up, and Ouma watched as the girl edged closer to sleeping.

     "Fine!" Ouma sighed and gave a dramatic pout - he wouldn't brought out the crocodile tears, but he knew they wouldn't be much good if Himiko fell asleep right here, he would be crying to himself and that was lame. "But first, we have to make a pillow fort!"

      "Pillow fort?" Himiko opened her eyes and perked up a little at the prospect - she loved pillow forts, and Ouma did not fail to notice this, though he said nothing on the matter. "I have some ideas,"

      And so, pillow fort construction was underway, and while there were a great many arguments, and it was knocked down at least 4 times, it was all in good fun, and Himiko found herself giggling almost constantly - especially when Ouma accidentally knocked over an open bottle of grape panta (his fifth bottle since she'd been there), and wailed dramatically for his lost love.

       Not long after midnight, the pillow fort was complete, and Ouma had made himself comfortable inside, while Himiko just collapsed back on the couch again, rubbing her eyes more and more now that sleep was beginning to catch up with her again. She'd been woken up considerably with the pillow fort antics, but now, she was fading fast.

     "Nyeh.... Budge over, Ouma," Himiko asked quietly, but Ouma just grinned.

      "As supreme leader, I forbid you from entering my pillow fort!" Ouma grinned and giggled his strange giggle, while Himiko just heaved a sigh.

      "You're a jerk Ouma..." Himiko closed her eyes, and Ouma went to reply when he realized that she had become very still. He watched her for a moment, and the steady rise and fall of her shoulders and chest with her soft, even breathing.

      "Himiko?" He called. "Himikoooo?"

      Truly, she had fallen asleep almost instantly, and Ouma was shell shocked. He actually had every intention of letting her in his fort, but she fell asleep before he could cease his teasing.

     The small girl looked peaceful, and for once, her face wasn't laced with sour boredom. She was cute.

      If it had been anyone else, Ouma would've simply shrugged and left them to sleep on the couch while he took the cosy pillow fort and put on his movies without a care for whether it would wake them up or not. However, when it came to Himiko, Ouma found that he didn't enjoy being cruel. It wasn't as fun - he liked her better when she was laughing.

      With a small sigh, Ouma heaved himself from the blanket fort and made his way over to Himiko. Very carefully, he lifted the light girl and waddled back to the pillow fort, carefully situating her inside the blankets, before he curled up to her side.

     He didn't expect to fall asleep quickly, he always had such trouble getting to sleep, but much to his surprise, he drifted off to sleep easier than he had in years.

      When she awake early the next morning, Himiko found that Ouma was now laying half on top of her, and the two were entirely swaddled in blankets. She felt her cheeks heating, and despite knowing that she was definitely not tired anymore, Himiko smiled faintly, closed her eyes, and cuddled back up to Ouma Kokichi.
