Namine set her free hand on the ground and set her feet on the carpet, starting to push herself up. She felt unsteady at first when she was doing it, but then she felt Ty also giving her a hand, standing behind her and keeping her balanced so she didn't sway backwards and fall onto the couch.
Namine felt like a child, being negotiated with in order for her to go to bed. But she couldn't refuse Roxas' offer, since it was what she wanted and what she needed at the same time. "'Kay," she murmured, giving into Roxas' persistence.
Namine forced her eyes open halfway, sensing Roxas in front of her. "I don't wanna," she murmured again, though the protest was weak. She exhaled a breath, shutting her eyes. "I wanna be with you," she said softly, giving in to Roxas' idea of sleep. She couldn't avoid it, but she at least wanted him nearby.
"Mm?" Namine hummed, nearly unconscious. She felt as if she couldn't move at all, and she knew that Roxas called to her for that purpose. She was uncomfortable on the ground, but she was far too tired to move, let alone get up and walk to her room.
Namine exhaled a breath from her nose, not having the strength to think up a response to give to Roxas. She had been feeling like she would pass out for a while now, and it was almost overwhelming her now. Her body was crying for her to get some rest, but she was still refusing to go under.
Namine turned her head slightly against his knee, a soft sigh leaving her lips. "You're not gonna give me any peace until I go to bed, aren't you?" she mumbled, a tiny hint of amusement in her tired voice. He was being persistent, as always. Even in her groggy state, she could tell he wasn't going to let this drop.
Namine kept her head on Roxas' knee, her eyes remaining shut. "Go where?" she mumbled, her voice coherent but soft and tired. She didn't understand what Roxas meant by what he said, probably because her exhaustion was too heavy.
"Mmm," Namine hummed, not quite sure what her sleepy response meant. She couldn't disagree with Roxas; she really was exhausted. But she wanted to be with him, and away from the nightmares that would surely come once she faded out of consciousness.
"I don't wanna," Namine mumbled, her voice showing her exhaustion. She was afraid of nightmares now, after everything that had happened. True, she had gotten used to nightmares during her two months alone, but she had a feeling that whatever dreams she had about this would be too terrifying to ignore.
Namine exhaled a soft breath, feeling a light hand on top of her head. She tiredly realized that it was Roxas, and that he must have woken up. She wasn't sure now if she wanted to wake up more so that she could spend time with him or fall asleep because she was so tired, but her body was favoring the second scenario.
After feeling Ty lick her one more time, she felt the dog move a step over, focusing his attention on something else. Namine exhaled a soft breath, turning her head in that direction but keeping her eyes shut. She leaned the side of her head against something, and in her tired state, she realized that it was somebody's knee.
Namine felt Ty push back against her hand and she gave up, not bothering with him anymore. Ty must have thought she was playing a game, because he then started sniffing at her face, then licking her cheek several times.
Ty sat back down beside Namine, facing Roxas while he kept wagging his tail. He panted in Roxas' general direction, but the warm air was going into Namine's ear as well, since the dog was so close to her. She brought up a hand and tiredly turned Ty's face away from hers, turning her head as well to avoid the dog breath.
Ty barked at Roxas, wagging his tail excitedly now that the boy was awake. The dog's actions and noise made Namine furrow her brows tiredly, turning her head away from Ty a little bit in an attempt to avoid his swaying body. He sure was excited to see Roxas; he must have forgotten that Namine was sitting beside him on the ground, half-conscious.
...Yeah. xD
Beside Namine, who was half-asleep now, Ty stirred, rising up to his feet. His nose accidentally nudged Namine's elbow, waking the girl up a little bit. She tried to ignore him and fall asleep, but at the same time trying to stay awake. It was hard to decide which one she really wanted when she was so exhausted.
Me neither. xP Oh well, we'll wing it.
A Few Hours Later Namine sat in the same position she had been in earlier, the room dark now that night had fallen. She didn't know what time it was, but she was having a very hard time staying awake. She wasn't ready for whatever sleep held for her, so somehow she had managed to stay conscious for the period of time when Roxas slept. Also surprisingly, she managed to stay leaning up against the couch without being overly uncomfortable.
Eh, let's stay with Roxas and Namine. I just don't feel right leaving them so quickly after everything.
Good. xD You care if I do a time gap to whenever Roxas wakes up? A few hours or whatever. ;3 Unless you had something in mind?
