Painty lie in bed after the day out with Lighty, they have the arm warmers on their arms. Fan is asleep across the room. Or at least he was.
Paintbrush's POV: I lie in bed. Today was fun, but I feel like Lighty had something else on her mind. She seemed... Distracted, whenever I talked to her. She had this look on her face I hadn't really seen before I focus on trying to pin it when I hear the door slowly creak opens nd carefull, soft footsteps approach me. "F-Fan? " I grumble.What is he doing up? And why is he bothering me? I lift my sleep mask to find Lighty soaked in tears. I lift myself up and whisper "Aw- Come here. " I hug her from the bed seeing as I'm a source of comfort to her. She quietly asks "Can I sleep with you tonight? "
I look at her, it's strange. She's an adult and she acts like a child, she's literally asking me if she can sleep with me because, "Why? " She cries a little more and responds, "I had a really bad nightmare. " She wipes her tearfull eyes. She's so childish. This is stupid. She's stupid. She wants to sleep with me because she had a nightmare. Pathetic- What am I thinking? She's my best friend! "Okay fine, come on," I grumble., I don't forget how sensitive she is, but one thing that bothers me, I think as she crawls next to me, is the fact that she has nightmare and goes through things but she tolerates it way too well, yet this time she can't? She did say it was really bad, so maybe she needs this. Is she really okay?
I start to worry, so much I guess I don't paw attention to Fan, who is awake, staring at me. Us? Lightbulbs fast asleep already (feeling better) she's no longer crying and she suddenly snuggles up to me and hugs me, she then starts to snore. She pushes her face into my shoulder and exhales, starting to snore again.
Fan snuckers. I perk up as I realize yes awake and watching me. I frown and put my thumb up and slice it across my throat in a quick motion and then point at him. Suddenly it isn't so funny. He smiles and looks away. I look back at Lighty. She's using my body heat as a sign if comfort. She's actually really cute when she sleeps- Wait, I called her cute. At the store and now. But- that's a friend thing... Right?. . . Right?
I blush and just stare at the ceiling, she nuzzled up against me. I realize that I called her cute. I CALLED HER CUTE. That's why she looked at me. Oh god. And why don't I know how I feel? I get angry at her, she's so sweet though. She groans and snores again. I look back at her, I've been so rude to her. Her sweet little snore drives me asleep.
Everyone is awake now. I get up to see Lightbulb snoring loudly next to me, there's no sign of her ever being sad. I get off the bed and walk down the hallway and down the stairs. I get my basket beside the table in the kitchen and skip breakfast, I'll do it while scrapbooking. I go outside the hotel and walk to the Meadows to collect flowers for my notebook, scrapbook, when I see Lightbulb skipping towards me, following me. It's getting annoying, or am I enjoying it? I can't tell if I like how she wants to stay around me or if I hate it. I just can't tell anymore, but I think I like it.
