 [The screen comes on to a large golden lion cub looking very concerned]

Hey, hm...  is anyone else having pro'lems with their partners? Daichi seemed okay when he got here; I mean he was yellin' and flailin' around but that's better then this!

[She turns the view over to a lump of blankets]

He's been sleepin' forever! But every hour or so he jerks awake and makes funny noises... and I think he's scared of me still. I tried sleeping with him but he just shoved me off!

[Her voice softens]

It wasn' supposed to be like this...

[Hibiki smiles a little.]

Leormon said you were having trouble sleeping.

We brought tea.

[third_wheel]

She did? [He looks down at her and smiles]

Guess I'm not used to this room...

[hibunny]

You're going to have to talk her out of a cuddle pile if you're not up for that.

[Because he's up for cuddles.]

[third_wheel]

[He sleepily eyes Hibiki]

You haven't slept yet either, huh?

[hibunny]

[He shakes his head.]

I know I should, but...

[third_wheel]

[He pulls Hibiki into the bed, sitting up himself and rubbing his eyes]

You said some thin' about tea, Floramon?

[hibunny]

[Hibiki goes willingly into the bed, stretching out a little and smiling.]

I made it myself! Plenty for all of us.

[third_wheel]

Floramon make some of the best vegetarian food!

[Leormon is sitting up on her haunches, holding a cup carefully in her huge paws and sipping... and occasionally lapping with her tongue]

Yeah? Okay. [Sip!]

Oh hey, it's not bad!

[hibunny]

[Floramon looks like a proud mother as everyone tastes her tea. Hibiki follows the other two's example and takes a sip from his own cup. He smiles and gives his partner a thumbs up.]

Thank you, Leormon, boys.

[third_wheel]

No problem!

[She drains the rest before hopping up on the bed with the boys and... flopping half on Hibiki]

Okay, nap time!

Hey! Leormon that's rude!

[hibunny]

[Hibiki laughs and uses the hand not holding his tea to rub behind Leormon's ears.]

Well, she doesn't lack for enthusiasm.

[third_wheel]

Hibiki is your friend so he's my friend too! [She rubs her head against Hibiki's hand. Daichi just laughs and sighs, drinking more tea]

Good, Hibiki can use more friends.

[hibunny]

[Hibiki smiles and keeps petting Leormon.]

Daichi, we have the same friends.

[Hibiki just doesn't spend as much time with them, okay, god.]

[third_wheel]

Yeah, but most of them don't have 2 inch claws.

[hibunny]

[. . .]

Point taken.

[Hibiki takes a long sip of his tea, while Floramon looks on happily.]

You coming up here, Flora?

[She looks surprised for a moment when he leaves off the '-mon', but then smiles lightly and pulls herself up onto the bed without another word.]

[third_wheel]

...

You know, when I daydreamed of having two girls over for a sleepover this wasn't what I had in mind.

[hibunny]

[Hibiki laughs.]

What, you mean I wasn't invited in the dream?

[He's just purposefully avoiding the joke Daichi was making, but he turns a little bit red anyways. Goddammit, not a joke he should be making, bad Hibiki.]

[third_wheel]

[Daichi turns a little red himself but is still grinning]

Awww Hibiki don't be greedy! If you want me to get you a girlfriend you should just ask!

[hibunny]

[Thank you for the save, Daichi.]

You'd hook me up with one of your fantasy sleepover buddies? What a great friend.

[third_wheel]

What are bros for? [His tea finished, he flops back with Hibiki and Leormon]

[hibunny]

Wingmen--

And cuddlebuddies, it seems.

[Floramon plucks the cup with the last bits of Hibiki's tea out of his hand and sets it on the bedside table.]

[third_wheel]

[Daichi laughs, though that lingering blush is still there]

We've been having sleepovers since we were little, it's not like it's a big deal.

[hibunny]

[Hibiki nods.]

I practically live at his house back home.

[He stretches his arms out above his head and yawns. He's pretty sure he hasn't slept more than 8 hours in the past 5 days.]

[third_wheel]

[Daichi flops on the otherside of Hibiki]

...I think I can sleep now.

[hibunny]

[Hibiki subtly shifts over to share Daichi's pillow.]

Haven't been sleeping much either?
