Chapter Text
Kaede smiled as she snuggled closer to Shuichi. He had slept in, so she took the opportunity to sneak in. She felt bad doing it but…
Well, it's Shuichi! And besides, they're friends so it should be fine, right? Plus, he makes the cutest sounds when he's asleep. She knew he would forgive her.
The pianist had to resist the urge to squeal as Shuichi turned around and hugged her unconsciously. He probably assumed she was a pillow. She buried her face in his hair, taking in how good he smelled. He was probably the best thing that's happened since coming to the Academy. If he wasn't here she'd have probably killed someone.
The moment couldn't last forever though. Shuichi slowly opened his eyes, still tired from dealing with everyone yesterday. “Kaede?” He asked.
She shushed him and ran a hand through his hair. “Go back to sleep Shuichi.” She whispered. Too tired to argue, Shuichi listened and closed his eyes.
“I love you so much.” She whispered, hugging him tighter. “Sleep tight, I'll protect you.”
