Knock knock! 

"Hm?" Sarah hopped off her bed and walked over to the door, opening it to reveal Ben with a pillow and bolster. 

She blinked, "What's up, Poindexter?"

He coughed, mentally cursing out Keita for his insane order, "Well, I felt that I wanted to come here, to accompany you. I personally believe that being around a loved one can lull night terrors." 

From down the hallway, Livy was recording this with a grin. The Pixie was definitely having fun with this. 

The rest of the group were watching this through their phones, all over the multiverse. And most of them were snickering, since this was a live stream.

"This is the best," HS Hana was choking out his words now. 

"I know right?!" Beom was struggling to even breathe. This was just the best. 

"Alright, guys, hush down now. We don't want Ben to catch us doing this, now do we?" Keita swiftly intervened. 

The rest had faces of pure disappointment. Clearly, they had wanted the complete opposite. 

"S-Shouldn't we stop this?" Jill softly asked. 

"Nah, it's cool," Bill grinned. "We get to see Ben being socially awkward. Best big bro moment ever!" 

"You guys clearly don't have standards," Chiaki's tone was exasperated as he rubbed his temple. 

"Hehehe, we truly don't," Haru laughed. 

Livy could only giggle softly. This was the best, alright. 

Back with the two, Sarah gave him an unimpressed look, "Okay, this is ridiculous. A guy and a girl sharing a bed? That's just wrong." 

"Technically it's a father sharing a bed with his daughter, so it's not that awkward," he corrected. 

She had to pause to contemplate that part. She didn't know what to say, but at some point she had to admit that she was touched. She recalled that his room was on the highest floor, yet he had taken the time to get everything before coming down all the way to ground floor for her? It was sweet, she had to admit to herself. The effort was really really appreciated. 

She finally sighed, opening the door slightly for him, "Alright. Hopefully you have your own cup of water to drink in the morning, cause I am not sharing."

He just gave her a smile as he held up a small mug with his name on it, nestled on the top of the small pile of sleeping materials. 

She rolled her eyes, "Just get in ASAP. This place is freezing." 

As the door closed, Livy quickly flew away, satisfied yet proud of Ben. 

Hopefully they'll sleep.

(Plot twist: They didn't even sleep. It was a night filled with fun games AND embarrassing stories. One that they would remember forever.)
