Mia tightly clutched her bag as she walled to Leblanc. She had offered to help Akira out with his sleeping habits as he seemed quite tired as of recent. She was honestly surprised when he messaged her asking if she'd be willing to help him. Sure it was late into the night, but Mia didn't mind one bit after all she was simply helping out her leader. Though she wished she could say that was all this is but she knew it wasn't.

Something about the tall black haired male made her heart fluttered, or maybe it was everything about him. Regardless all she knew was it made her do things like this, come out in the dead of night to help him instead of sleeping herself. She texted Akira to let him know she had made it to Leblanc. She knew the door would be unlocked as she snaked her way inside. She was hit with an all too familiar scent of coffee, something she grew fond of thanks to Akira himself.

The sounds of footsteps alarmed her slightly until she met the slate grey eyes she could easily place. "You actually came," Akira said softly, almost as though he didn't believe it.

"Of course I did. I offered to help and that's what I plan to do." Mia chirped as she smiled brightly. She then walked over to Akira, her smile seeming to grow. It'd be a lie if she said she was aware of such.

"You look cute when you smile," Akira said softly before carefully ruffling her hair then walking upstairs. Mia was left with a blush coating her cheeks before she quickly chased him.  She was dreaming or so she thought, she doubted Akira would ever say such things, to her especially. Her midnight colored eyes glanced around the attic Akira lived in and slightly frowned.

No wonder why he couldn't sleep she'd be scared of sleeping here too, honestly, she had no clue why he couldn't sleep so she was going off of personal preference. She looked over to the male dressed in nothing but a t-shirt and joggers. She felt a bit overdressed but she honestly hadn't changed since the end of boxing practice. Though she did regret not bringing a change of clothes as she was likely going to staying the night. Though it was too late now, all the trains where off for the night and it was too late to head home now.

Carefully, Mia set her bag down on the chair to Akira work station and carefully pulled a pillow out before handing it to Akira. "Here." She said softly, receiving a 'thanks' from Akira. What she honestly wasn't expecting was Akira to walk behind her and wrap his arms around her waist. Her cheeks were a cherry red as her long hair covered her face.

"Did you bring something else to sleep in? I can give you something more comfortable to wear if you'd like." Akira's soft voice cooed as he gently held her frame.

"I-i didn't, I-i completely forgot the trains don't run all night." She said softly, receiving a chuckle. Before she knew it Akira had let go of her and handed her the shit that once covered his back.

"Here put this on, I'll grab a new shirt and head downstairs so you can change." He said softly. Mia stayed in place as she held the warm shirt in her hands. Her heart pounded in her chest as she stared at it. Upon hearing Akira leave she was quick to change into his shirt.

It didn't take long for her to change then call Akira back. "Okay, so I've brought a few things that help me sleep but I don't really know if they'll help you." She quietly explained. She grabbed her bag and pulled out a few things.  She then looked at Akira as she shyly rubbed her neck. "Have you ever tried Aromatherapy? I-i don't use it for anything but sleeping s-so I'm not really sure how e-effective it is." She added.

"I haven't, but I'm sure you're pretty experienced enough to know what you're doing." Akira hummed quietly, gently toying with the star earrings he wore. Mia only nodded and went to work. Not very long after did the room filled with the scent of lavender.

"Is that making you sleepy at all?" Mia asked with a yawn.

"Not really, it smells nice though." Akira hummed softly as he watched Mia. "Though it seems to be working on you." He chuckled as he watched her.

"Yeah, it tends to have that effect on me." She said softly before walking over to Akira and sitting beside him. "Hmm, made you need something to cuddle." She chirped.

"Something to cuddle?"

"Yeah! I-i normally have this big stuff dog I cuddle with back at home." She shyly admitted as she showed Akira a photo of the large plush animal. Akira softly smiled as he looked at the photo. Something about the idea of Mia cuddling a large stuffed animal sounded quite cute to him.

"There's a problem with that," Akira said softly as he looked at her, her features turning that into confused ones. "I don't have any stuffed animals." He continued. Mia frowned slightly as she thought.

"Would Mona be up to cuddling with you?" She asked.

"He's asleep and I wouldn't want to wake him, we wouldn't hear the end of it." Akira hummed as he nodded to the sleeping cat near the top of his bed. Mia sighed before gaining another idea. Her cheeks flushed a bright red as she looked down at her hands.

"I-i could cuddle with you. I-if you want that is!" Mia chirped quickly. Akira smiled as he nodded.

"That would work." He said as he stood up and stretched slightly. If he was being honest this whole thing was just a way to tease Mia. He was well aware she liked him so what better way to show he may or may not like her back than this?

Mia was stunned. Did he really just say he'd cuddle with her? She gently pinched herself, assuming she was simply dreaming. Which she was beyond surprised wasn't the case. "O-oh, okay." She said softly as she got up off the bed. Akira had a mischievous glisten in his eye.

"Thanks, Princess." He cooed softly before kissing her forehead and laying down. Mia could have sworn she'd faint at any given moment. Yet she was trying her best not to show such. She carefully got onto Akira's bed only to be pulled into a strong and warm embrace. Her eyes landed on that of Akira's as his hand gently stroked her cheek.

"Goodnight, Mia." He hummed softly before gently pecking beside her lips. He pulled her closer to his chest before closing his eyes. Mia's heart pounded in her chest as she held onto the shirt that clung to Akira's body.  It was hard for her to process everything but regardless she was glad she actually committed to helping Akira. Honestly, she wouldn't mind doing this again if he'd let her.
