It happens to everyone - sometimes, you have nights where you just can't fall asleep, no matter what you do. It could be for a number of reasons, or no reason at all. And this is what's happened now: you've been laying in bed for what feels like hours, just tossing and turning, and nothing seems to help. So what's left to do? Get out of bed and go wake someone else up, of course. If you're not getting any sleep, then why should they?

o p t i o n s 
01 • FEAR. Maybe you're hearing strange, indeterminable noises; maybe there's a severe storm happening outside; maybe you watched a scary movie before bed? Whatever the reason, you're terrified and it's keeping you awake. You just want to wake someone else up so they can protect you from the monster in your closet.
02 • HUNGER. Your stomach is growling and it just won't stop. Or perhaps your throat is so dry you could cough up a tumbleweed? Well, you've gone to the kitchen to remedy this and hey, that was a pan that just dropped on the floor. It was loud enough to wake the dead! Oops.
03 • PAIN. Your body is completely worn out, be it from exercise, battle, sickness, or what have you. Either way you're in enough pain to keep you from sleeping, so maybe someone else has a home remedy or something, or can at least help you take your mind off of it.
04 • SOLITUDE. For some reason, your bed just feels so empty at the moment. You're feeling terribly lonely and really just want someone to keep you company for a while. Maybe it'd be easier to fall asleep if you're with them...
05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort.
06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help?
07 • SADNESS. Something terrible has happened that day, perhaps; or you could just be severely depressed. Either way you're trying your hardest not to cry yourself to sleep, and it's not working at all. Better find a way to get it out of your system somehow; you need a shoulder to cry on.
08 • ANGER. You are just... fuming. Who knows why - that annoying dog is barking again, or maybe the people next door are getting busy and keeping you awake. Whatever the reason for your ire is, you'd better put an end to it so you can get some damn rest already! Go wake up a friend so you can complain to them.
09 • RESTLESS. You're far too energetic to sleep right now. Maybe you're just trying to do so out of necessity - you have to be up early tomorrow! But you just don't think you'll be able to fall asleep for a while now, so why waste the time trying to sleep when you could be doing something else? Namely bothering someone else - you're totally jealous because they're getting more sleep than you.
10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario.

[Minako sticks close, pinching at the hem of Minato's sleep shirt to make sure she matches each step. If they were getting caught, they were getting caught together. B(

Except oops maybe she stepped a little too close. Don't be startled, Minato. That chill you feel is just the tub of ice cream Minako's hugging.]

[mp3]

--Ah...

[Gdit Minako, that actually got him to jump... ! He turns around. Please don't get that close, unless it's without the ice cream, thank you very much.]

[hasthepotential]

..mm?

[Your jumping made her jump, Minato..!! Sheesh!

She blinks at him owlishly, then sheepishly relenquishes her hold on his shirt. Was that it?] ...sorry!

[mp3]

... It's fine.

[No big loss, anyway! It wasn't too bad. Either way, he'll go back to leading her back again, slipping back into his room with her. No problems, at least!]

[hasthepotential]

[No problems, nope!

As the door closes behind them, Minako sighs in relief before turning to offer Minato a congratulatory smile.] Good job, we made it undetected!

[She helps herself back onto Minato's bed, folding her legs and placing the tub of ice cream between them.]

[mp3]

Good job.

[He'll give a thumbs up!! Before he takes a seat on his bed with her again, looking down at the ice cream.]

Are we going to finish the whole thing?

[Otherwise they've gotta take it back down...]

[hasthepotential]

I dunno. [She starts to wrestle with the lid to get it open.] Guess it depends on how much is left!

[The lid slips off, and she peers in.] Oh, we can polish this off easily! [Though then she scoops the pint up in her arms again and smiles at Minato lewdly.] Though I thought you just wanted cookies~!

[mp3]

Ah, well...

[That smile though.]

It depends on how we eat it.

[hasthepotential]

Oh?

[This face back at you.]

Like ice cream sandwiches?

[mp3]

[Max Charm go go.]

I was thinking off the same spoon.

[hasthepotential]

[With Max Courage!!]

Oh! [Too dark to see the blush, oh yay, oh yay...] You mean like taking turns? Okay!

[She sets one spoon aside and takes the other, reaching in and digging out a generous spoonful.]

[mp3]

Yeah.

[That works. Or...]

Or at the same time.

[hasthepotential]

[Minako looks up, spoonful of ice cream hovering between both of them.]

....

[She looks down at the spoon, then back up at him.]

Show me how?

[mp3]

Well...

[He didn't know that would work. He's never exactly done anything like this before, but... he'll figure it out! He'll lean down near the spoon, getting near it, before--]

Now you get on the other side. Then...

[Well... he'll demonstrate. He'll push his tongue out to lick the ice cream. Go go go??]

[hasthepotential]

[Lucky for you she'll try anything once!]

Ok...[She leans in, doing her best not to--] OW!! [--bump heads.]

[mp3]

Ouch.

[Well that... wasn't expected. He'll rub at his forehead, looking up at her, uh...]

... More carefully this time?

[Ice cream helps a headbump, right??]

[hasthepotential]

[Minako eagerly nods.] I'll go first this time.

[Maybe Minato is less klutzy than she is...so she leans forward, bringing her lips to tenderly touch the lump of ice cream on the spoon before letting her to the peek out and taste it.]

[mp3]

Good plan.

[Much less. He moves in carefully and easily, lips touching the other wise, before his tongue moves to taste it as well.

And well, who's to say their tongues won't meet? They'll at least brush against each other briefly, and that's a start.]

[hasthepotential]

[If it startles Minako, she doesn't let on. She sucks a little more off the spoon and captures another puddle of rapidly-melting cream in her tongue before drawing back and letting Minato have the last of the spoonful.

She tries not to watch too intently.] You don't think it'll melt too fast, do you?

[mp3]

Ah, I don't know. Though, if some of it drips...

[Charm, go go]

I'll just have to lick it up, won't I?

[hasthepotential]

[Charm, indeed!]

I think...[She smiles coyly as she scoops another spoonful.] You're trying to sneak away all my ice cream for yourself. [She holds it out again in offering.] It's your bed. If you don't mind the mess...

[mp3]

Maybe. [Ohoho.]

I don't mind at all. Go ahead.

[He'll motion for her to go ahead! Don't wanna knock heads again, after all.]

[hasthepotential]

[Don't turn this into a competition, Minato.

She complies, leaning in and nipping at the ice cream with her lips, intentionally taking up a little more space than before.]

[mp3]

[But it's a fun one!

Especially when she starts taking up more space. Good thing he can do the same. Time to brush lips now, Minako!]

[hasthepotential]

[what happened to sharing?!

No matter. Minako scoots closer, appearing unfazed by the close contact, more interested in getting 'her share', bumping shoulders.]
