He was restless. Gaku hated being restless. He knew he should get some sleep because if he didn't and they had to face an Org the next day he didn't want to do it on a lack of sleep. Rearranging his wings so the sheets weren't crushing them, Gaku shifted onto his side and closed his eyes again, determined that this time he was going to go off to sleep.
Right on the verge of sleep, Gaku's eyes snapped open at the sound of bare feet padding on the floor of his room. It wouldn't be Tetomu, which left only Blue or White and he doubted White would just come in without announcing herself, which just left Blue. And sure enough, as his vision adjusted to the darkness Gaku could just about make out Blue's fluffy hair, which he'd recently decided he wanted to dye brown.
"What's wrong?" he asked gruffly, sitting up in bed. There had to be something wrong if Blue was coming in here at this time of the night. Or morning. One or the other. When there was no reply he frowned, a twinge of unease stirring at the silence. "Blue," he said impatiently, trying not to feel creeped out, "is something wrong?" He wished he could make out more of Blue's expression because the darkness really wasn't helping him deal with the situation at all. He sighed and awkwardly patted the edge of his bed. "Sit down already, don't just stand there staring." Although sitting and staring wouldn't be much better, really.
He yelped in surprise as Blue went one better and actually got under the covers and appropriated his pillow.
"Hey!" he protested, grabbing for it. "I didn't say you could--" His voice trailed off when it became apparent that Blue was fast asleep. Had he been sleepwalking or something? Gaku hesitated for a moment, then sighed again, his shoulders slumping. He could deal with sharing his bed just this once: it was better than the mini thunderstorms he sometimes got when Blue was having nightmares. "Fine," he muttered, tugging his pillow back a bit. "Just don't steal the blankets."
