"Iia," he replied while bringing another spoonful of pudding toward his mouth. After consuming this bite, he pointed his spoon toward Chiyo while looking in her direction and speaking with one eye closed and a smile on his face. "We both know there's no need for that. They'll each join the parts war. Everybody's got a reason now, don't they?" he went on to ask, seeming to do so in a rhetorical manner.
A smile crossed Chiyo's face as she made a great deal of headway on her own pudding cup. She was about at the end of it when Shoichi fully explained that their friend would likely participate of their own accord as well. "Fair enough~ I'm kind of excited now!~" she squealed before finishing the last of her pudding. She really enjoyed ATs much more than most things in life and beyond that she seemed to be really excited about seeing all the new things the younger generation had to offer. Now that she took the last bite of her pudding and seemed to enjoy it with sparkling wide eyes like it was the first time all over again. Then she hopped off her bar stool with the spoon in her mouth as she went to dispose of the cup, after doing this she also dumped the cup and smiled like she'd had the best day in the world. "Oh and completely unrelated, I chose my room~ it's four down on the left side of yours." she said with a nod.
"Right!? It's gonna be fuckin' sweet!" Shoichi concluded with much excitement stemming from him. As Chiyo move to dispose of her empty pudding cup, Shoichi took the last bite of his own pudding and shot the empty cup into the trash can as if it were a basketball. Of course, a little bit of wind guidance allowed the guaranteed landing of his shot. Afterwards, he stood and stretched, finding this to be about time to call it a night. "Four rooms down? The one across from the bathroom, huh? Figures," he said. "Alright. Sleep tight." And with that, the Sky King was off to his own room, where he would proceed to enter his personal shower (a shower designed by Roze, and thus, filled with heads from all angles with multiple settings) to prepare himself for bed.
"Hai!" she said in response to Shoichi's first statement then she got to watch the shot he made from his position and frowned slightly. "Nice shot, but that is so cheating." she said sticking her tongue out at the young man. He seemed to think something of her choice in bedroom, and though it was right across from the bathroom she hadn't chosen it for that reason. It seemed to be time to call it a night and so she would grinning towards the Sky King. "Hai, that's the one. Goodnight, Shoichi~" she said before heading off to her room. Once there she'd take down her pigtails grab her journal which was now very close to its end, and begin writing about the goings on of this day. Such an activity would take about 30 minutes of her time, but once she was satisfied that she'd written enough to fully cover the depth of the things she'd done this day she turned off her lights and settled in for bed. And there she would lay for an undisclosed amount of time.
Shoichi enjoyed this new shower of his for about twenty-to-thirty minutes before emerging into his bedroom once more. He yawned as he approached his bed wearing a simple pair of black boxers. One of the packages of Oreo cookies he purchased earlier this morning had been placed on a mini-fridge where a nightstand belonged for a bit of late night snacking, and inside the fridge were bottles of fruit-flavored soft drinks. As he crawled into bed, he retrieved one of these beverages and ate a couple of cookies. Afterwards, he relaxed with a bit of soft music playing through the television, and began to drift off for the night.
About two hours after she tried going to sleep the Storm Queen was still tossing and turning, and it was beginning to annoy her. Every moment she thought she was going to fall asleep but it wasn't getting her anywhere. It was sincerely frustrating and she couldn't figure out what was wrong. That being said, not sleeping wasn't an option, she was exhausted and thus in an insomnia induced haze. "Why?" she mumbled as she crawled out of bed. In her exhausted state she could only think of one thing to do, and as such she climbed out of bed with red veined eyes and left her bedroom closing the door behind her. To sleep she was wearing just those now short pajama bottoms and tank top but that didn't matter, where was she going, one might wonder, well she was walking some four doors down and when she arrived at the door of the Sky King she intended to open it and go inside. She'd allow it to close lightly behind her, her eyes hidden behind the looseness of her bangs as she fell around her nose. And she'd soon crawl into the Sky King's bed, cuddling up beside him from the left to try and fall asleep.
In the midst of his rather deep slumber, Shoichi felt the shifting of another body to his left. The white-haired young man reflexively turned in that very direction, and threw his right arm around his apparent sleeping partner as a result. In this moment, his face was pressed against Chiyo's head, and he began to mumble a few words. "Mmfrf... got a double parfait... for dat premium ass..."
"Sleep now... that shit... later." mumbled the Storm Queen as she settled into this feeling. It was comforting and warm and she'd find herself to be completely unconscious in a very short amount of time. This was nice and unbeknownst to her why she couldn't sleep. She settled into the Sky King pushing herself rather closely into his body so they could spoon and with his arm around her this felt most right. Chiyo didn't know that she didn't like sleeping alone, until it was an option to have someone to sleep beside. Regardless this would be how she slept until the morning and apparently without much problem.
The sunlight leaking through the tinted balcony window/door lit the bedroom well enough for the young Sky King to awaken without suffering any level of temporary blindness, though this only served to put him in a state of grogginess that didn't want him waking. What made this even more the case, was the fact that he was apparently not alone; of course, it was very likely that he always knew this. Whenever Chiyo woke and attempted to move, Shoichi's grip would tighten, and he would greet the lass with a single statement which carried over through his dreams of the night. "Oi. It's later."
Eventually the light leaking into this room would indeed be enough to wake the Storm Queen from her restful night's sleep. Even so, she didn't seem to be happy about getting up. In fact, as her eyes opened they showed the lines of her Over-Cross Twinkle Eye. And she was now, reasoning through how she'd ended up in bed with someone else. Not that she minded this at all, she was quite used to it considering. It was only when she actually tried to move that she realized that she was still spooning with the Sky King and that he had something to say which apparently she should know about, but she couldn't remember. The tightening grip of his arm around her just made her stay in place, which was also fine since she didn't really mind being pressed up against him. "FUCK!" she muttered seeming to be trying to pull herself together and failing at it. "Fuckin' hell are you even on about right now, do you have any idea how early it fuckin' is?" she asked as she turned her head and peaked into the Sky King's face from her present position. Her question wasn't actually a question of the legitimate time, but instead in relation to how little time she'd been awake, with only a few moments of consciousness she wasn't quite ready to people yet.
