Chapter 66: Arc 2, - 44: My Night Under the Stars
She turned and twisted in bed, pressed her leg against the wall, tried to hug her tail- "Flick!" The bedsheets came undone.
A soft growl escaped her lips as she pushed her feet to readjust the bedsheets, only for the other end to come off. "Ugh," she got up—nightgown drifting, she looked to her watch on the nightstand.
"Midnight..." she got up and readjusted the bed. Once she was done with a satisfied smile, she still had one issue; she could not sleep.
"Hm, Jotou and Asobi are probably up," she creaked open her door—hallway unlit. A slight breeze whisked past her ears, making them hug tightly onto her head.
The light in Fumeko's room off, but... so was Asobi's. The redhead looked down under the door for the elf's usual illusions that would give off a glow. One could only wonder what these two did while she was out to tire themselves so 'early'.
Jotou's door was left ajar as Hotaru walked into the hall... Perhaps it was another day she could sleep well, she hoped. However, the glimmer-light of stars lit the house softly.
Two crimson ears poked up the ladder, two blue eyes following to see blonde hair drifting in a shadow. "If it isn't my knight under the stars," Hotaru uttered into the silent howl of night.
The wind picked up as the blonde turned with her mouth agape before she beamed, the waning moon behind her. "Not tired?"
"I should be the one asking you," Hotaru folded her arms on the roof, stood on the ladder to watch the blonde.
"I'm taking a day off tomorrow; I feel a little burnt out." Jotou faced the sky, "Besides, it's not like I get sleepy at night. I just get more active and have to force myself asleep."
"It's a beautiful night to stargaze; I can see why you like the night."
