 [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...

[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.

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.]

[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.]

[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?

[third_wheel]

Yeah... Like, I know we're... okay here. Sorta. But I don't FEEL it yet.

[hibunny]

[Hibiki has a moment of silence before he nods.]

I can't stop thinking about what happened.

[third_wheel]

Me too... While everything was going on we didn't really have time to.

[He scoots so his back is against Hibiki's, pressing back into him]

We don't know WHY it's happening... it's not like in comics where if you beat all the bosses things go back to normal like nothing happened. Hell, this 'world's collapsing' thing might be part of it!

[hibunny]

[The human contact is surprisingly comforting, and Hibiki relaxes a little. Floramon snuggles quietly into his stomach.]

Yeah... Before, I was just trying to keep going but now... It's like there's enough time to breathe. And I just can't stop going over everything in my head.

[He sighs softly.]

Even though we're safe right now... It feels like everything's broken.
