It was Friday, Val's free week would be over soon and then all Work would just Fall right onto him, just as usual.

Val had shown Sirin many new things, they played together, laughed and even cooked(or well, nearly burned the Kitchen again), but he took a liking to Sirin and her Curious behaviour.

However, Val had a tiny Problem: He couldn't sleep enough, not because Sirin takes so much time, or that she was too difficult to handle, he just couldn't sleep.
It's called Insomnia, for example, Val could wake up in the Night and would be unable to sleep for the Rest of it, because his body won't let him. So he becomes fatigued over time, until he begins to sleep During the Day to outbalance his tired body and mind.

Sirin sat at the table for Breakfest like usual when she noticed something suspicious. Val was cleaning the Dishes like usual, but he looked tired, as If he hadn't hadn't slept for Day's! He had bags under his Eyes and he yawned a lot more then usual.
"Yawwwnn~...I'm finished in a minute, just wait a sec, ok?"

Sirin didn't reply, beginning to worry. Val had done much for her this week, She had wanted to do Something for him, however she just didn't know what, so for now she just went along, trying to find a way to forget it, for now.

•Later after Lunch:

Sirin was Frustrated, she tried so hard to forget it, but it was no use. Val just looked more and more tired, but nevertheless, he still did everything right, no big mistakes or anything of that sort. But now he was just Sitting there, about to doze of to sleep. Sirin finally had enough, she decided that she would take matters into her own hands.
"Urgh, Human!!!"

Val quickly snapped out of his trance-like state.
"Uhhaa!!! Uhhh...yeah?! What is it?"

"How much did you sleep tonight?!!!"
Sirin angrily asked, frustrated about his reaction.
Seriously, you nearly fell asleep While you were Cooking!!!

Val's expression stiffened and began to nervously sweat as he stated.:
"Uhhhhh...eight hours, like it should be, the usual...heh heh..."

"....You are a terrible Liar."
Sirin said as she gave him a doubtful look, clearly not believing him.

Val's eye's widened in disbelief and his sweating only got worse trying to talk himself out.
"Uhh, what do you mean? I wouldn't lie about such a thing."

"Uhuh, Sure and I'm the Ice Queen."
Sirin crossed her arms in front of her chest.

Val stood silent for a moment, then rubbed his chin and grinned.
"Hmmm, hehehe well, you kind of are..."

Sirin's face reddened, not having expected his counter.
"What?!!! N-no Backtalk!!! You're going to sleep!!!

It didn't work, Sirin quickly made a run for Val who began to flee.
"Wait! I don't need tooooo!!!!"

Sirin saw that diffrent however and so, without another word, she began to drag Val at his foot to his room. He tried hard to hold on to doors, Windows, anything he could grasp, but to no avail, Val wasn't the fittest, which didn't help him as he tried to hold onto another door when he finally found himself capable to ask.
"How are you so strong?!!!"

Sirin kept pulling him without much effort at all, instead she gave him a annoyed look.
"...Human...I'm literally The Herrscher of the Void, did you really think it's only the Void that is strong?"

And with that, she pulled him of the door, draging him after her. 5 Minutes Later, he laid on the bed with Sirin staying in his room to make sure he actually would sleep.

15 Minutes Later Sirin left, being sure Val was asleep. She sighed heavily, now she could read the next Volume of her favorite manga in Peace. She was worried, for the First time since long, she admited that she was actually worried about him, but she really had no idea what to do ...
Sirin let herself fall on the couch in the living room, trying to figure out a solution to her problem.
"Urgh, this is so frustrating!!! How can I Help this Idiot without being obvious?!"
She thought about it for a few seconds, then a idea came to her.
