It was cold. Ridiculously, bitingly, freezingly cold. Because the old heater that had warmed generations of students in the dorms had broken. Why? Because most of the school budget was set aside for the Princesses. Never mind the welfare of the suffering dorm students. Even with the blankets wrapped around him in bed, Tohru shifted uncomfortably as he tried to keep warm. But he was cold, damnit, and some measly blankets weren't really generating a lot of heat.

After an hour of tossing and turning, the boy gave up and silently slid out of his bed, toes landing softly on the cold wooden floor. Quietly, he tip-toed towards the ladder at the end of the bed, and soundlessly ascended the wooden steps to the bunk above.

The long haired boy atop appeared to be asleep, his chest rising and falling softly. Smiling ever so gently, Tohru moved under the tepid covers hurriedly, seeking heat and comfort. Just as he had settled in, he felt a strong pair of arms draw him into the other one's warm chest.

He grinned. "I thought you were supposed to be asleep."

"As if I could sleep with all of that ruckus you were making below, idiot."

He laughed, and cuddled in closer to the other boy. "Yuujiro, you're very warm…"

"What am I, your personal furnace?"

"That'd be nice. Then I'd never be cold again…"

The taller boy snorted, resting his chin on the former princess' messy head.

"Oy, Tohru."

"Hmm?" A sleepy voice inquired.

"If you're going to come up here every night, wouldn't it be better to start off here? Then you could fall asleep faster, I could stay asleep, and you'd be warm. Everyone wins."

"Yuujiro…" He stared up at him, wide-eyed with surprise.

"W-w-well it was just a suggestion you know." He looked away, trying to sound indifferent about it. He was failing miserably.

"Id~iot. Of course I will." He grinned at the fidgeting boy. Said boy let out something akin to a sigh of relief (or maybe it was happiness?)

"Good night, Torhu."

"…" But the boy had already fallen asleep, feeling warm, safe and happy.

AN: Ack, I did it again! Omg, how cheesey can I get… -pounds on head with hammer-. If you wanted to know, I wrote this thinking that they had already entered some sort of relationship. Sean is also at fault for me writing this.

Review, don't review, as quoted from Fall Out Boy "I! Don't! Care! what you think~…" blah blah blah.

Savvy?
