#each of these dorks have something about them that makes chiyo worry and it's currently niko's turn to hear it :' ))

[tvrningout]

we turn the page to a new chapter | @metrictita gets a starter just 'cause <3

she looks undoubtedly cozy, donned in an oversized hoody and shorts with little corgis on them. she's got the hood up and a pillow in her arms ( it's got k.akashi's face on it -- a gift from her mother, she claims ), glasses perched on the end of her nose and chin resting upon the pillow. and she's looking right at him. she's just argued with niko for the past five minutes that she doesn't want to sleep just yet -- she hasn't had too much to drink! she's absolutely fine. her face is this flushed because she's a little toasty, is all. no, she won't change out of her hoody. fine, she'll drink some water.

chiyo's water sits forgotten on her bedside table as she sighs, hugging her pillow a little more tightly. " maybe i did overdo it, " she admits. her eyes haven't left his, half-lidded and warm. " i keep thinkin' i don't wanna go to bed 'cause i don't want ya t'be alone, but i'll still be right here. but it's-- it's different 'cause, y'know, what if ya get lonely, and i'm asleep?? we're kinda alike, so i worry you'll feel blue by yourself and let me sleep 'cause that's easier. "

she's said way too much, but chiyo doesn't feel embarrassed or anxious like she normally would. maybe she really has had too much to drink. the artist nudges niko's thigh with a fuzzy sock-clad foot.

" promise you'll wake me up if ya get lonely, and maybe i'll sleep. and i mean whenever ya feel like that. i wanna be there, nik. "
